IF there is but little timber on the land, a 

 man can clear it at odd times, but even if 

 covered with trees there is no cause for discour- 

 agement. Lumbermen will readily buy timber 

 by the acre, cut it and haul it. Or the lumber 

 may be used in building the house where there 

 Is no suitable shelter for the family on the " home 

 acre." 



Good judgment should be used in cutting trees, 

 considering not only the market value, but also 

 their qualities as shade trees or revenue pro- 

 ducers. Elm and sycamore trees near a house 

 are better than a stock of awnings and shades, 

 and nut and fruit trees are better than income 

 bonds. Sugar maples ten or fifteen feet high
