SAVE FUEL
Don't you think a range that cuts your
fuel bill in half is worth more than other
ranges?
THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANCH
only uses half the fuel used in other ranges
and nives better satisfaction all around.
There is a reason for everything. If you
will stop and consider the fact that tlje
MAJESTIC RANGE, being made of non
breakable Malleable Iron, permits the man
ufacturers to cold rivet all the parts together
perfectly air-tight; that it is not made cvjf
cast-iron and bolted together as other rang
es; that the heat cannot escape through
cracks or cold air (Miter range; that the Hues
are lined with pure asbestos board (not
paper), and are constructed in such a man
ner as to utilize every particle of heat
you will very readily see why the Majestic
Range uses so little fuel.
Evry MM of THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE will confum this statement

By O. !. Sponsler, Professor of Forest
ry, University of Nebraska.
During the past . on an effort
was made, and quite successfully, too,
to revive the old Catnlpa craze. About
1 nee In every two or three years a
nmooth salesman Interviews all tho
farmers of a dlstrlcL tells them thnt
he has Catalpa plants that will gro
to railroad tie site In eight or ten
years, and shows them, to clinch his
usssrllons, a disc about a foot in dlani
eter which wa cut from a t.ny m i !l
tree.
There Is no question but that
Catnlpa is a very useful tree for the
j farmers of a small part of Nebraska;
a strip of country limited roughly by
the Loup river on the north and ex
tending westward to Kearney or a lit
tie farther. In this part of the stat
the tree Is a profitable Investment:
plantations hnve given from $8 to $n
clear profit per acre annually. These
figures, however, do not represent
the average for the territory In which
Catalpa enn he grown. The average
would be under $8. North of tho Limp
rlvar and west of Kearney the tree is
quite liable to freeze back during the
winter and so, although Individual
trees survive and apparently thrive
the results for a whole plantation Is
ttremely doubt Till. The freezing re
duces the vitfor and growth noticeably
The fnker say that you must have
the hardy Catalpss, for the common
Catalpa will not stand Bevere winters,
also that it will not grow straight
trunks, that it will not grow as fast,
that it will not Inst as long for a post,
nnd so on The faker is perhaps par
tially right. There are probably two
species of Catalpa. namely, Catalpa
speclosa. or hardy Cntalpa, and Catal
pa bignonloldes. or common Catnlpa
It Is lOppOsed that these two species
hybridize very readily, at least that is
the way the contusion In Identlfylnc
the species l explained. For exam
pie, the common Catalpa has a aeed
with the ends pointed, tapering gind
"ally to a decided point, while the
hard Catnlpa seed Is quite square
ended nut on the same tree one often
finds Ml KM&atkHM between the
pointed and the square end. The bark
of the hardy I pee lea is rough and that
of the common is smooth, yet one uv.w
find the seed of one growing ou s
tree with the bark of the other And
so it goes with the other characters of
identification. Whether, then, the
tree will stand severe winters, will
grow straight trunks, will be fairly
durable In the ground as posts de
pends. perhnps: on how near its char
ncterlstlcs will correspond to those of
the hardy rarletr, For instance, it is
; afer to get teed with ns square ends
as possible, then the chances are grcnt
er for straight trees and good growth.
There n-e no figures that prove abso
lutely that the one makes a more
durable post than the other
Concerning the growth of the tree,
and here Is where the faker is strong
est. If n plantation at fifteen years of
age will average 4 Inches In diameter
at H feet above the ground and ton
tain about l.r.oo trees per acre, that
plantation has been growing exceed
ingly well for Nebraska conditions
The faker shows a disk about twelve
Inches In diameter with ten growth
tings visible The disk was undoubt
edly cut from a tree about ten years
rid. but that tree was not the average
of a plantation and it did not grow in
Nebraska.
The faker sells his trees at pel
thousand, nnd he delivers thorn in the
Autumn, Several questions Immediate
ly com" to the surface. If his plants
are really from the seed of that won
derful clump down on the Mississippi,
Irjiere the moist ai Warm climate,
wIT Ren soil and geTitle breezes ar
all so rood noire to rapid plant growth,
iU 11 '"' v'(,,'l Ml more than our
own home frown cataTpaa, here in Se
Uniska, where the air is dry. killing
frosts are in order from October to
May. the soil is rich, hut not wet and
the breees iar from gentle? Our
nurseryman gets seed fi om bar, ,
trees, raise the secd'ings here In Ne
hraska, sejls them fiom $2 to $1 per
thousand, and be, himself, stavs right
ere in Nebraska where you can get
at him If the trees do not turn out to
tie the right ones
The faker delivers his plant in the
fall The farmer has been busy and
has not bad time to think, so he heels
them In and nlants them in the spring,
or perhaps he plants them as soon
as they are received. However,
that makes only a little difference, for
the loss b this treatment is ompar
8'ively small, more perhaps than Is
nsuallv realized It would be better
to have the plants dug up at the nur
sery Just a short time before planting
them In the field in the spring.
A Utile summary will show that th?
farnu r pays $j." per thousand for trees
that are not adapted to Nebraska con
dltions :"d receives them at an unfa
vorable time of the year. If the trees
really rone from the rapid grow ins
specimen shown him. In all probabl!
Ity the trees are not from that source
and the farmer is paytSf tl tor the
Fame stoek. or perhaps inferior, thai
lie would have to pay $3 or $ 1 Iron,
the teliable nursery. Better cancel
the order.
