New England Notes 
Taxes on Wood Lots. —The farmers 
of New Hampshire are whetting their 
axes in anticipation of a lively battle at 
the next session of the Legislature. For 
several years the Farm Bureau has been 
trying to obtain a change in the law 
which relates to the taxation of timber 
lands. Massachusetts farmers have at. 
last secured legislation which gives them 
the desired relief, and the farmers across 
the line are determined to get as much. 
It is out of all reason, of course, that tim¬ 
ber land should be taxed so severely dur¬ 
ing the unproductive years of growth that 
private re-forestation is made a burden. 
That is the situation, however, in New 
Hampshire. Magazines and papers are 
filled with articles predicting a timber 
famine, and yet farm woodlots are taxed 
out of existence. There is a great deal of 
land in New Hampshire which is avail¬ 
able for growth of timber, and the farm¬ 
ers realize that if they can obtain legisla¬ 
tion which will defer the taxes from 
growing trees until they reach the age 
when they can be turned into profit, 
much can be done to help the back-road 
farming districts. 
Work of the Farm Bureau.—' The 
Farm Bureau has proved of inestimable 
value to rural New Hampshire in the last 
two or three years. It is helping to ease 
up the financial burdens on the farmer. 
It is responsible for the gasoline tax 
which brings in a lot of money from Sum¬ 
mer visitors, and is obtaining a fair share 
of the revenue for dirt roads in the more 
remote sections, instead of having all of 
the road money used on the through 
thoroughfares, over which roll the auto¬ 
mobiles of tourists from the South and 
West. The Bureau has also done much 
to increase systematic marketing. It is 
said that 60 per cent of all the eggs pro¬ 
duced in the State are now marketed 
through one association, going to a group 
of chain stores. This arrangement gives 
a year-round market and makes it pos¬ 
sible for farmers in the northern part of 
the State to get good prices for their poul¬ 
try products. 
Late-keeping Baldwins. —On June 
25, Arthur H. Baker of Brockton Heights 
exhibited Baldwin apples which were in 
excellent condition, with their character¬ 
istic Baldwin flavor but little impaired. 
They were kept in an open box in a cool 
cellar 'throughout the Winter and Spring. 
These apples grew on a tree winch is 
known to be more than 100 years old. F. 
A. Howard of South Easton also has a 
century-old tree, and had apples in good 
condition in June. There is no question 
about the fact that the Baldwin apple is 
unsurpassed as a home variety for New 
England conditions. 
Transplanting Irises. —Inasmuch as 
most of the hardy plants in the flower 
garden are divided and moved in the early 
Spring or in the Fall, garden-makers are 
very likely to consider this the universal 
custom. The fact is, however, that a few 
plants should be worked immediately after 
the blooming season. This is especially 
true of the bearded Iris, the Siberian 
Iris and the Japanese Iris, all of which 
are first-rate garden flowers. All these 
Irises should be dug up, separated and 
replanted in July or August. The beard¬ 
ed Irises are readily pulled apart with 
the fingers. They are extremely satisfac¬ 
tory perennials, and very easy to grow, 
thriving in light soil and very hot expos¬ 
ures. They should be planted so that the 
rhizomes are almost even with the sur¬ 
face of the ground. The Siberian Irises 
are not so well known, but are very hand¬ 
some, and come a little later. They are 
unsurpassed for cutting, and soon make 
fine clumps in the garden. They are read¬ 
ily divided with a spade. The Japanese 
Irises are a little harder to handle. They 
have tough, wiry roots, which should be 
cut into sections about 8 in. square and 
well covered with earth. While the Jap¬ 
anese Irises like plenty of water, they 
should never be planted in a wet place. 
They are particularly at home on the 
banks of a stream or pond. All these 
Irises should be divided once in three 
years for best results. 
Watercress is a perennial, but new 
plantings must be made frequently. The 
best plan is to cut up the stems of old 
plants, setting them along the side of 
brooks or slow moving streams just above 
the water line. They should be set 
rather deeply, and root quickly at the 
joints. This work may be done any 
time up to the middle of August. 
When cuttings are not available, seed 
may be sown in the mud on the banks 
close to the water, or in the case of 
slow moving streams, may be scattered 
on the water itself. It is desirable to 
sow the seed in the Spring. The crop is 
obtained much quicker by using cuttings, 
so that plan is usually followed. Cress 
can be grown readily in any part of New 
England. e. i. f. 
Draining Engine Room 
With reference to inquiry as to drain¬ 
ing engine room where there was no 
drain, I would suggest making a well in 
one corner of the room to drain the water 
to. Then fix an automatic pump which 
will start whenever the water rises to a 
given height. I. p.

This furnace will give you thorough com¬ 
fort and satisfaction at less expense and with 
less work. It heats every room in the house 
and keeps them ALL warm. All the heat 
goes up-stairs where it is wanted — none 
escapes into the cellar. It costs less to install 
than the usual furnace and in many cases 
SAVES HALF the cost of winter heating. 
Burns either wood or coal. No dust, ashes 
or dirt up-stairs. Very easy to run — as 
easy as one ordinary coal or wood stove.
