Stockton Sentinel. The commercial and industrial interests in the national forests are now very great, representing practically ail branches of activity, such as. residences, fyrm pastures, drift fences, Corrals, dairies, schools. apiaries, Churches, roads, trails, telephone and telegraph lines, stores, mills, factories, lime and charcoal kilns hotels, stage stations, sanitariums, camps, summer resorts, wharves, miners and prospectors cabins, windmills, dipping vats, tanks, dams, reservoirs, water conduits of all kinds, power-housepower transmission lines, aerial tramways and cable conveyors, railroads, tram roads and the purchase of sand, stone' clay, gravel, hay and other na tional forest products, except growing timber. For all these purposes carefully considered permits are issued and the work done under them kept track of by the forest service. In many parts our preserved national forests, are not idle wastes, but busy hives of activity, needing all the care and oversight which the service gives them - under the guidance of Gifford Pinchot, United States Forester. - The revenue from these forests aggregates $1,500,000 this fiscal year, and is an Increasing quantity. Surplusage timber Sales alone exceed $600,000. Wood utilization and wood preservation are Important branches of forest service , together with silviculture.

Here were exhibited every variety of barnyard fowl, including chickens, geese, turkeys, pheasants, pigeons, etc. In the manufactures building were exposed the manufactured products. It would be an impossibility to enumerate them all or to select the best. In it was displayed everything from the work of the public schools and Utahs artists, to the Mauss triplets a trio of handsome children, two girls and a boy. There were canned goods, sweet wearable goods, goods,, dunkabie goods, clothes, knitting machines, cement blocks, pickles, overalls, shoes, candies, phonographs, stage properties and scenery, cornice making machines, minerals, ceramics, statuettes, work in soda waters and other wet goods. In fact every conceivable kind of industry was represented. Outdoors were the stock and cattle There pens and the dogi kennels. were all kinds of live stock, including horned cattle, horses, sheep, swine, etc. The kennel was one of the most pleasing features, a splendid array of blooded dogs being shown. 'There was the Midway w ith its trained ponies, its pioneers trip, its ping pong, guessing contests, electric theatres, Maud, knife racks, cane racks, not Franfurters. sausages and tamales; lightning photo gallery, lemonade stand and a score of attractions. In one corner of the plaza Adgie played with a lion and a couple of lionesses, and in order to amuse the crowd, twice a day took a chance on having her head bit off by a great lion; who had a mouth like the hole in the city treasury. There were ballon ascensions, great horse races, fireworks and other things.

Calder took hold, and in one month of the seven alloted earned his partnership. He sold $12,000 worth of goods in the seven months. Since that time the business has grown steadily. The factory employs constantly ' about eighteen persons, and in the rush season thirty or more. The products put up have grown from a few kinds of jams and jellies to forty-fou- r varieties, including jams, marmalades, jellies, spiced fruits, pickles, and minee meat.

These are college men who sell the products in vacations, on commission, and each one earns from $250 to $500 a season enough to make another year at col, lege possible. h HISTORIC PLACE TO BE SOLD. The Stockton Sentinel. Holly Lodge, Highgate, London, Eng,, the lifelong summer house of will the late Baroness Burdett-Couttbe sold by auction on October 24 next. There are many historical associations about this beautiful old place, which stands In one of the finest private' parks still remaining in the suburb, where a century ago many of the merchant princes of London made their homes. Holly Lodge was built by the famous banker, Thomas Coutts, that shrewd and respectable old gentleman who kept in his office at the Strand the money and the family secrets of half the English peerage. Mr. Coutts was married twice, his second wife being Harriet Melton, the actress, who after the death of the banker, who left her all his property, ' married the noble nonentity, the duke of St. Albans. On her own death in 1837 she bequeathed the whole of her vast wealth to the old bankers favor-it- s grandaughter, Miss Angela Bur-det- t, daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, a political firebrand and good fellow. Every one knows the careeer of that lady, who became the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. Her noble philanthropy It was will not soon be forgotten. st Holly Lodge that she devised many of her great schemes. ' It was here, for instance, that Charles- -, Dickens came frequently, when, with the aid of his sympathy and knowledge, she, planned' to clear out the thieves rookeries of Bethnal Green and built her model dwellings. All the most notable people of the Victorian era were familiar with the beautiful velvet lawns, the spreading T aging examples for the general benefit. State studies are carried on with States which request the advice of the service. Examples of this work are the study of forest conditions in New Hampshire, which appropriated $7,000 toward the total cost, and California, which appropriated $25,000. Maine. Massachusetts, Maryland. Rhode Island, Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi have also called upon the service for expert assistance. investigations have been carried on with cities to determine the kinds of woods suitable for paving blocks, and methods of treating them; experimental pavements haveof been wood, laid, containing various kinds sec-tiotreated in different ways.

The Connecticut experiment station states that 5,000 tons of cotton-seemeal aie annually used as fertilizer by tobacco growers in that state at a cost of $155,000. In 1899 the acreage cost was $22 80 per ton, making nitrogen cost 12 9 cents a pound. Last year the price had risen to $31 per ton of meal or 19 4 a pound for nitrogen. No soil that will produce a variety of crops should be farmed continually with one crop One writer has estimated that ten ci ops of one kind of grain will exhaust the best soil in the United States, It has been shown that cowneas mature in about 80 'days. This proves that the seed can be sown after an early crop of oats has been removed and a heavy growth will result by the time the farmer is ready to fall plow. - The farmer who practices a rotation of corn, small grain, corn, small gram, clover two years and pasture two years and then repeats, will never be confronted with a worn-ou- t farm. d Plant Many Things. No farm is perfectly planted or ar- ranged if there has been planted but one or two things, say an apple orchard and a grapery. The space should be well balanced between the areas devoted to the apple, pear, peach, plum, grape, cherry, apricot, quince, strawberry, raspberry, currant and any other fruits that can be successfully grown in the region in which the farm is located. Nothing less than a large variety will be entirely satisfactory to the family. REEL. One Which Will Make the Unstringing of Fence Wire an Easy Task.

The acidity or alkalinity of the soil may be tested by he use of blue litmus paper, whicbAin be secured of any druggist.

If within a half hour or less the litmus paper turns pink the need of lime is indicated. Where tests aie not made, and the soil has not been limed for years, it is much safer to lime than to run the risk of the alfalfa or other crops being killed out by . the acidity of the soils. The amount that should be applied varies with different soils, clay soils requiring a heavier application than sandy soils, , On clay soils which have not been . limed in many years about one ton per acre should he applied, while soils in which the acidity has been partially corrected should receive a proportionate amount. On sandy or humus exhausted soils it is not to put on more than one thousand pounds at one time, for lime is an indirect fertilizer, and liberates plant food by hastening decomposition of the organic matter in the soil, and thus reduces its fertility. Clav soils are more retentive of plant food so that less is lost by this decomposi tion, and, furthermore, the clay soils are improved greatlj in texture by the collection of the smaller particles of the soil into larger ones Oyster shell lime or stone lime is other sub generally used, though stances, such as marl, may he used moi-econonucalh. where they can be obtained 011 the .arm for the ex pense of digging The lime should be applied on the suiface, and worked In with the suiface soil, and it should be put on in as active a condition as possible. To do this the lime should be slaked with water, and as soon as slaked should be spread as evenly as possible. It may be applied with a shovel, or with the lime attachment which comes with fost manure spread ers. Ground stone lime, which has recently been put on the market, says the Journal of Agriculture, is a finely ground lime, which is easily distributed, and is thought to be better than the burnt lime, as it can be applied in the active state. It can be applied through the fertilizer attachment ol the ordinary grain drill. V., -- -- 1 e ABOUT THE FARM. Under no circumstances should any thing be added to milk to prevent it from souring.
