Now. this remark about
the songs
Is quite correct, of
course.
And I ain fond of singing;
oft
I sing until I'm hoarse.
But why Is praise ne'er sunn 09 said,
To her who makes the nation's bread?
For singing's not essential; songs
I'ould do without;
And laws ar« worse than useless
Sometimes, beyond a doubt.

So. let them make the laws and songs,
With crowns the victors smother;

GOOD REPRODUCTION
OP L 0/Y GLE AT PI HE
To Florida goes the distinction of
getting the first national forest cre-
ated east of the Mississippi river.
President Roosevelt lias just signed a
proclamation setting aside and nam-
ing the Ocala national forest in Marion
county In eastern Florida and another
proclamation creating the Dakota na
tlonal forest In Hillings county. North
Dakota. Inasmuch as the last named
national forest is the first in North
Dakota, the two proclamations add
wo more Btates to the list of
those wherein land will be put under
scientific forest administration. There
are now 19 states, and Alaska, having
national forests.
Before the creation of the Ocala, in
Florida, the two forests In Arkansas,
the Ozark and the Arkansas, were the
asternmost national forests. Prac-
tically all the other national forests
are in the Rocky mountain and the
Pacific coast states. The Florida for-
est has an area of 201,480 acres, of
which about one-fourth has been taken
up under various land laws. It covers
plateau between the St. John's and
Ochlawaha rivers and at no point is
an elevation exceeding 150 feet above
sea level obtained. The area is by na-
ture better fitted for the production of
forest growth than for any other pur-
pose. Nearly all of the area, however,
seems particularly well adapted to the
growth of sand pine, which is even
now replacing the less valuable
species, and with protection from fire
almost the entire area will in time un-
doubtedly be covered with a dense
stand of this species. The long-leaf
pine, a much more valuable commer-
cial tree than the sand pine, appears
rather sparsely on this forest and is
confined principally to the lower flat
lands along the streams on the bor-
ders of the forest.
In addition to the pines and scrub
growths, bald cypress, cabbage palmet-
to and tupelo gum, gradually changing
to water oak, ash, elm, magnolia, hick-
ory and maple are found bordering
the numerous ponds and lakes which
are scattered abundantly throughout
the confines of this forest.
Fire has played a very important
part in bringing about the present
poorly forested condition of the Ocala,
as year after year large fires have
burned uninterruptedly over this tract,
killing all vegetation and consuming
the humus of the soil. Naturally pro-
tected portions which have not been
subject to the flames prove positively,
however, that the soil will rapidly re-
spond to a little care taking and that
the prevention of fires would eventual-
ly mean the reforestation of practical-
ly the entire orea.
No sawmill operations have been
conducted on the area included in the
Ocala national forest. Turpentining
by boxing is carried on over contigu-
ous areas and through the careless
and antiquated methods used the fu-
ture pine crop of the adjoining region
is greatly jeopardized. The soil is of
little value for agricultural purposes
and about the only crop which can be
produced that will be of lasting value
is sand pine, and with proper care and
attention there should in time be a
valuable forest of this species.
The new Dakota national forest con-
sists of 14,080 acres in the Had Lands
region. It is located in Billings coun-
ty and lies an equal distance between
the Northern Pacific railroad on the
north and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul on the south. Its creation is
important for it means that an experi-
mental field for forest planting has
been secured In North Dakota, the
least forested state in the Union, hav-
ing only one per cent, of tree growth.
The forest service expects to establish
forest nurseries with the hope that in
time to come the area may be refor-
ested by artificial means. This feature
is expected to prove a very good ob-
ject lesson to the settlers, who, it is
Helps In Cake-Making.
A New England housekeeper tells
how she always manages to have the
right amount of Hour in her cake.
"The way to tell Is to stop when the
mixture will run from the end of the j
spoon ami form a ribbon back and
forth. If it runs in a hole it Is too
thin; If it drops in pieces it Is too
thick. Thin it, if necessary, with cold
water, but add the flour so slowly that
no thinning will be needed."
Ovens should, for cup cakes or any
ordinary loaf cake, be quite hot, and
take extreme care in opening the oven
door. This is the most frequent cause
of cakes "falling." Too little flour is
.also a cause. When a cake is done,
do not cover it; this makes the top
spongy instead of the tender crust
which will form if loft to the air.
Beat batter well, and with a high
lifting of the spoon, that the air may
be driven into the cake.
hoped, will in turn plant windbreaks
around their farms.
The forest is very open and for the
most part contains a scattering stand
of western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed are found ash. box elder,
cottonwood, elm and birch. Cedar
breaks are also found on precipitous
slopes bordering the streams. West-
ern yellow pine is the only merchant-
able species, however, on the forest
and the average stand per acre is not
over 2,000 feet. The reproduction of
pine is fairly good wherever mature
trees occur, but owing to the open
condition of the forest and the dense
growth of grass it is for the most part
unsatisfactory.
There is but little timber thai wil1
be sold fiom the forest at the present
time, since this area is very isolated,
being surrounded on all sides by vast
plains. Many homesteaders have in
the past come to this forest for tim-
ber for logs to build their houses.
Since the completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, Hillings
county is rapidly being settled, and
while stock grazing is at the present
time the most important industry, it is
very probable that farming will be-
come the most important industry
within the next few years. It is very
important, therefore, that the timber
which now remains should be con-
served exclusively for the use of the
home builder.
At the present time there are but
seven homesteaders within the boun
daries of the forest, but all of the odd
sections are alienated land bein?
owned by the Western Land Securities
Company. This company has been
selling portions of their holdings dur
ing the past few years. Very little of
the government land within the
boundaries of the forest is suitable for
farming purposes, since it is quite
rough and broken and water is very
scarce. It is the country outside of
the forest which is now being taken
up by settlers.
No sawmill operations have ever
been conducted on the area. When
the Northern Pacific railroad was be
ing built a larger number of trees
were cut for railroad ties, and together
with the logs which have been pro-
cured for house building by settlers,
this is the only use which has been
made of the timber on the forest. It is
understood that the logs used in the
construction of President Roosevelt's
cabin, which now stands in the state
eapitol grounds at Bismarck, N. D.,
were obtained from the area now in-
cluded in the Dakota national forest.
Gov. Burke of North Dakota is very
much interested in this forest and
thinks it will be of inestimable value
to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
Both of the new national forests, the
Ocala in Florida, and the Dakota, will
be put under administration by the
forest service as soon as possible.
Boiling Eggs.
Careful housekeepers who want
everybody's eggs to be boiled as they
like them, anil want them served hot,
and are willing to take pains, use a
chafing dish at the breakfast table,
and put the eggs in to cook according
as different members of the family
come into breakfast. Some like them
cooked four minutes, other less, and
for each "notion" the watchful moth-
er has respect. Because eggs, hot and
palatable, are nourishing and well
worth a bit of extra trouble. Too often
cook prepares them all at once, to suit
her convenience, and woe betide the
luckless straggler who is late for
breakfast! He must eat cold, over-
done eggs or go hungry. And with
children the latter alternative is the
common one. So a little indulgent
"coddling" in this respect is well
worth mother's while.
LAZY MAN'S LOAD.
LWAY8 when I clear the
things
From off the dining
table.
Mother says: "Don't car-
ry, dear.
More ilishes than you're
able.
"For, if you pile the
things so high,
As high up as you can.
You're guilty of the trieli
we call
The load of 'Lazy Man.'
"For 'Lazy Man" always
loads up
With everything at once,
When getting wood, lie piles the sticks
l'p to his chin-the dunce!
"For then, of course, he drops some
chunks.
And strews the floor with chips.
Too often there's profanity
Upon his lazy lips."
So,
when I take too much at once,
,r I,,.)-,, i see the 'Lazy Man,'
My Ma says: "Clear the road!
With that same lazy load."

One-Eyed Mosquito.
Not a few Sarawak mosquitoes
would be worthy of notice as being
peculiar, bu^ space forbids mention of
more than one, Oculeomyia sarawaki.
Like the monster Cyclops of fable,
this mosquito is remarkable in being
one-eyed. The insect was discovered
a year or two ago by Dr. Barker, and
the curator of the museum at Kuching
considers that this specimen must be
uncommon, as he has never seen an-
other.—London Standard.
Meat en Casserole.
A casserole is a small baking dish,
tightly sealed, the principal use of
which is in the preparation of articles
which require a long time, or slow
cooking. To intensify the natural
flavor, the meat is often browned in
fat before putting in the casserole.
Select chops, or pieces of steak cut
the right size for individual serving.
Add a pint of water which has been
warmed in the frying pan to get the
flavor of the meat. Meanwhile pre-
pare small onions, potatoes, carrots
(as many as will be required to
serve), and parboil. About 20 min-
utes before dinner, add the vegetables
to the casserole, season well, put in
half a cup of sherry or tomato, if pre-
ferred, and return to the oven. Some
aid a slight thickening of flour and
water. Mushrooms, too, are always a
pleasant addition to any meat cooked
en casserole.

"Bogey" Signs.
Two forks accidentally placed at a
plate is a sign of disappointment; two
knives, of a quarrel; two spoons, of a
wedding.
If your apron becomes untied, it is
a sign that somebody is speaking good
of you: if accidentally put it on wrong
side out, the gossip is ill.
To place the teakettle on the stove
with the spout toward the back is a
sure indication of company.
