November  Snow 
November  put  us  to  bed  last  night  with 
a  white  coverlet.  It  was  a  quiet,  cold 
night,  so  that  when  we  looked  out  in  the 
morning  the  snow  blanket  lay  as  it  had 
fallen.  “Snow !”  called  out  Daddy,  build¬ 
ing  the  kitchen  fire.  “What?  Snow!” 
cried  Mother  from  her  shoelaces,  and  so 
loudly  that  little  Marcus  awoke  in  his 
crib  and  answered  “Da  !”  Upstairs  two 
white-gowned  figures  slipped  out  of  bed 
and  ran  to  the  window.  “It  is  snow,” 
said  Elsie  happily,  not  thinking  of  the 
roads  to  school.  “Now  I  can  have  a  ride 
on  the  sled,”  laughed  little  Jane.  Every¬ 
one  in  the  house  was  glad  to  see  the  snow 
come  but  Perkins,  the  man  from  Florida, 
who  hopes  to  be  in  warmer  climate  for 
Thanksgiving  Day.  He  prefers  oranges 
to  snowballs. 
Winter  and  Summer  seem  to  be  a 
habit  with  our  family.  We  are  just  as 
glad  to  see  the  snow  go  away  in  the 
Spring  as  to  see  it  come  in  the  Fall.  A 
Winter  without  snow  would  be  like  open¬ 
ing  The  R.  N.-Y.  to  find  its  pages  filled 
with  sporting  news.  Of  course  we  do 
read  sporting  news,  but  we  don’t  expect 
to  find  it  in  Tiie  R,  N.-Y.  and  would  be 
disappointed  not  to  find  at  least  Hope 
Farm  Notes.  So  now  after  getting  the 
woodpile  and  farm  machinery  properly 
under  cover,  and  getting  all  buttoned  up 
for  cold  weather,  it  is  gratifying  to  look 
out  upon  the  first  snow  of  the  season. 
While  the  kitchen  fire  roars  comfort¬ 
ably  up  against  the  stove  lids  Daddy 
gazes  out  at  the  new  tool  shed  with  its 
clean  gray  and  white  paint.  The  other 
new  building,  a  garage  for  the  truck, 
seems  to  have  grown  pale  and  blue 
since  the  snow  came.  No  doubt  this 
is  because  it  was  made  of  second-hand 
lumber,  while  the  siding  of  the  tool 
shed  was  new.  The  bottom  of  the  tool 
shed  was  to  have  been  covered  with 
cinders,  but  the  whole  output  at  the 
coke  factory  has  been  bought  up  by 
another  factory  making  enamel  ware, 
and  what  was  once  free  for  the  haul¬ 
ing  is  now  unobtainable.  But  one 
must  not  be  too  greedy.  We  have  a 
long  cinder  driveway  that  comes  In 
at  one  side  of  the  lawn  and  goes  out 
the  other,  and  which  the  largest  size 
trucks  take  easily. 
The  coal  bin  down  cellar  is  heaped 
with  this  coke  which  is  a  by-product 
of  gas  manufacture,  as  well  as  the 
cinder.  We  really  like  coke  to  burn  in 
the  furnace  better  than  we  do  coal. 
It  gives  quicker  service  when  the  draft 
is  opened,  and  is  readily  checked.  In 
fact  we  have  found  out  that  the  secret 
of  keeping  a  steady  coke  fire  is  to  use 
the  check  draft  sparingly,  to  depend 
mostly  on  shutting  the  cold  air  draft 
for  checking.  At  night  the  check  draft 
is  opened  slightly ;  too  far  open  will 
bring  gas  into  the  rooms.  The  only 
time  when  our  coke  fire  dies  out  is 
after  it  has  become  over-heated  and 
burnt  out.  But  even  then  we  can  save 
it  by  throwing  in  pieces  of  wood,  let¬ 
ting’  it  ignite  before  putting  on  fresh 
coke.  It  does  not  seem  to  require  the 
thorough  overhauling  of  the  grate  con¬ 
tents  which  a  defunct  coal  fire  needs 
to  bring  it  back  to  good  service.  East 
Winter  was  our  first  trial,  and  though 
it  was  extra  cold  weather  we  had  a 
warmer  house  than  when  using  coal. 
I  believe  we  use  about  six  tons  a  year, 
which  is  not  a  large  amount  of  fuel 
for  us.  Coke  is  about  $3  a  ton  cheaper 
than  anthracite. 
The  man  from  Florida  is  soft-foot¬ 
ing  downstairs,  with  Elsie  and  Violet 
a  close  second.  For  perhaps  the  fif¬ 
tieth  time  in  a  week  they  are  beseech¬ 
ing  him  to  reconsider  and  stay  in  the 
North.  The  snow  has  brought  the  sub¬ 
ject  again  to  their  restless  young 
minds.  Their  side  of  the  conversation 
begins  with  a  wail. 
“Oh,  Perky,  are  you  going  back 
South  today?” 
“No !  What  for  you  think  ah  goin’ 
back  today?” 
“Well.”  answers  Elsie,  thinking  it 
doubtful  policy  to  mention  the  snow. 
“If  you  go,  I  want  you  to  go  on  Satur¬ 
day  so  I  will  be  home  from  school  to 
bid  you  good  bye.” 
“Ah  ain’t  gone  yet.”  Hope  raises 
its  head  once  more. 
“Oh,  Perky,  couldn’t  you  stay  all 
Winter?” 
“No — o.  Ah’d  be  a  heap  better  off 
down  there  pickin’  oranges  than  stand- 
in’  around  up  here  all  Wintah.  There’s 
nothin’  to  do  up  here.  Ah’d  get  wild. 
Like  Dan  and  Molly.  Ain’t  you  ever 
noticed  how  ol’  Dan  and  Molly  get  wild 
standin’  round  in  the  cold  with  nothin’ 
to  do?” 
Elsie  had  noticed  the  horses’  unusual 
spirit  in  the  Winter  time,  and  the  case 
was  rested  while  the  children  thought. 
Meanwhile  Perkins  made  his  escape 
to  do  the  morning  chores  outside.  It 
has  often  been  a  matter  of  wonder¬ 
ment  to  me  why  the  children  seem  to 
love  the  old  colored  man  so.  Appar¬ 
ently  he  does  nothing  to  hold  them  ex¬ 
cept  answer  their  simple  questions  in 
an  entertaining  way.  The  other  day 
in  a  piano  advertisement  I  saw  the  fol¬ 
lowing  line  amongst  the  sales  talk.  “If 
there’s  nothing  to  lighten  the  hanging 
hours,  the  children  drift  away.” 
There’s  a  valuable  truth  in  this,  I 
think.  Children  growing  up  on  the 
farm  are  not  repelled  by  the  work  as 
much  as  the  lonesome  hours  in  the  eve¬ 
ning  when  they  are  without  music  or 
good  reading.  I  have  seen  children 
who  could  never  bear  to  leave  the  farm 
home  because  they  enjoyed  comforts  of 
this  sort  there.  They  seemed  rooted 
in  the  home  atmosphere. 
Thanksgiving  Day  and  our  visit  to 
the  old  home  section  is  one  day  nearer. 
Our  progress  through  the  month  is 
marked  by  a  smudginess  on  the  calen¬ 
dar  where  Jane  and  Elsie  have  been 
counting  days.  Grandmother  is  gone, 
but  the  old  home  farm  is  still  in  the 
family,  the  background  of  many  past 
Thanksgiving  dinners.  It  is  not  from 
any  sense  of  duty  that  we  take  chances 
with  the  slippery  pitch  holes  of  those 
hilly  cross  roads  in  late  November.  It 
is  the  tie  of  background  and  kinship, 
which  is  about  the  strongest  bond  I 
know  of.  The  home  section  seems  an¬ 
other  world.  Here  we  live  in  a  land 
of  tenant  farmers.  Some  of  our  neigh¬ 
bors  change  every  Spring;  we  never 
get  more  than  a  brief  acquaintance  of 
them.  It  is  flat  country  intersected  by 
State  roads  that  carry  a  spectacular 
traffic  in  huge  roaring  trucks  and  ele¬ 
gant  limousines  driven  to  the  speed 
limit.  In  the  home  section  neighbors 
never  change;  their  history  is  an  open 
book  that  has  been  learned  by  heart 
with  the  years.  Farm  tenants  are 
rare ;  it  is  a  dairy  section  among  hills 
that  trucks  cannot  climb  with  impun¬ 
ity.  Thus  the  unimproved  cross-roads 
form  a  safe  runway  for  herds  of  cat¬ 
tle  and  flocks  of  sheep ;  every  farm  has 
its  large  comfortable  'basement  under 
the  barn,  its  apple  orchards.  There  is 
a  peace  and  quiet  that  we  do  not  know. 
Within  the  last  year  I  understand 
there  has  been  a  remarkable  sale  of 
tractors  in  that  vicinity,  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  of  filling  silos  and  harrowing.  It 
appears  that  machinery  can  make  its 
way  anywhere,  even  over  these  stony 
hills.  If  tractors  can  rejuvenate  the 
old  cross-roads  and  rebuild  houses 
crumbling  on  their  doorsteps  along  the 
way  to  the  old  homstead  theirs  is  a 
noble  task. 
And  meanwhile,  we  wish  you  all  a 
happy  Thanksgiving  Day. 
MRS.  F.  H.  UNGER. 
Rotation  in  Forestry 
As  there  seems  to  be  considerable  in¬ 
terest  in  the  germination  and  growth 
of  shrubs  and  trees  in  locations  where 
they  were  not  previously  known,  I  would 
like  to  state  facts  from  my  personal 
knowledge  where  it  would  seem  that  na¬ 
ture  practices  a  rotation  in  forestry.  My 
grandfather  came  to  the  town  of  Dans- 
Ville,  i  Steuben  Co.,  in  iWestern  New 
York  in  1816.  The  country  was  then 
largely  in  unbroken  wilderness,  the  hunt¬ 
ing  grounds  of  the  Indians,  who  came 
from  their  villages  in  the  Genesee  Valley 
to  secure  the  necessary  meat,  as  is  evi¬ 
denced  by  the  numerous  flint  arrowheads 
found  where  the  ground  was  cleaned  and 
cultivated  by  the  whites,  but  that  early 
day  there  was  no  underbrush,  it  being 
kept  down  by  the  several  fires  set  by  the 
Indians  that  their  view  of  the  game  might 
not  thereby  be  obstructed.  I  am  80 
years  old,  and  in  my  youth  nearly  all 
large  trees  had  fire  marks  at  their  base. 
When  the  Indians  were  driven  out,  the 
fire  stopped,  and  young  trees  occupied 
the  ground.  There  is  quite  a  tract  of  the 
original  forest  still  standing,  a  portion 
of  which  was  part  of  my  father’s  farm, 
and  I  am  now  the  owner  and  know  the 
facts.  The  original  timber  was  oak, 
hickory  and  chestnut,  no  pine.  Among 
the  young  trees  that  came  up  were  white 
pine,  and  scattered  evenly  through  the 
forest ;  these  are  now  large  trees.  Thirty 
or  40  years  ago  hemlock  came  up  in  these 
woods  where  none  was  known  before. 
The  pine  stopped  germinating  and  young 
trees  6  in.  in  diameter  died.  Within  six 
years  I  have  noticed  seedling  pine  again. 
The  oak  and  chestnut  have  not  varied ; 
their  growth  has  remained  the  same, 
otherwise  there  is  a  rotation  of  pine,  hem¬ 
lock,  and  again  pine. 
The  mystery  is,  where  did  the  seed 
come  from  and  what  caused  it  to  germi¬ 
nate  at  a  particular  time?  The  theory 
of  distribution  by  the  wind  is  overthrown 
by  the  fact  that  seeds  carried  by  the  wind 
would  be  much  thicker  at  the  border  of 
the  wood  than  in  the  interior  which  is 
not  the  case.  The  nearest  hemlocks  were 
located  two  miles  east  over  a  range  of 
hills,  and  the  seeds  were  as  evenly  dis¬ 
tributed  as  were  the  pine.  If  the  seed 
was  carried  by  birds  they  were  sown 
very  evenly,  and  that  does  not  account 
for  germination  at  a  particular  time.
