OUR FORESTS.
Another Step Looking to the Preser walton
of the Timber Lands.
[From the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltimore SUM-
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
addressed letter to the President re-
commencing an appropriation of $4,000
to prosecute during the next year the
inquiries into the subject of forestry
which were begun last year under the
auspices of the department by DIR.
Hough, of New York. The Legislative,
Executive and Judicial Appropriation
bill of April Is, 1876, made provision for
the investigation, with view chiefly to
discover the means best adapted to the
preservation and renewal OF forests, the
influences of forests upon climate, etc.
DIR. Hough, who wes selected by the
Commissioner of Agriculture for the pur-
pose, has diligently prosecuted the in
quiry, not only in the United States, but
has entered into correspondence with
officers OF foreign Governments connected
with the forest management and forestry
schools which abound in Europe, where
the vital importance of this great inter
est is well understood, and where for
long years an intelligent and settled
policy has prevailed looking to the in
crease of the woods, the equal season.
akle distribution of the rainfall, main
tenance of forest upon the higher lands,
and the subsequent preservation OF the
regular supply of water for the springs,
riyulets and rivers, and the pre-
veation of the terrible floods which
wash bare the unclothed mountain
slopes, and by sudden overflows destroy
the agriculture and the manufactures Of
the valleys. DIR. Hough has already
compiled statistics of the most valuable
character, embracing statements OF the
expectation OF every class OF forest
products from each port of the United
States to each country, from the organ
ization of the Government to the present
time. He has also wealth Of matter,
historical and instructive, which will be
of interest not only to every agriculturist
and landowner, but to every person who
has hope for prosperous future OF his
country. The question of timber culture
and timber preservation, not only on the
public, but on private lands of the United
States, is one of the most difficult and
one of the most interesting problems that
can attract our attention. The forest
laws of Europe have for us much that is
suggestive and instructive, and there are
many features of them which it would be
to our interest to adopt. Congress should
afford every facility for a proper under
standing of the subject, and there is no
doubt that it will cheerfully make the
necessary appropriation to enable DIR.
Hough to continue his inquiries. There
is no longer any controversy as to the
fact that something must be done to ar
rest the wholesale destruction of timber
which is still going on in every part of
the United States where there is any
timber left.

Frank s. Byers and wife arrived in Den

They came through on horseback in n
little more than two days. The first
days journey was fifty miles, and over
the summit of the snowy range. That

Hunting Wild Hogs.

On Wednesday last Mr.. John G.. Gen.
try called in seven of his neighbors,
with their dogs, and organized a hunt
for wild hogs. The dogs soon raised
the hogs and opened on their trail.
After long run they brought the hogs
to bay, but the dogs never tackled the
hogs n second time, for in the first
fight they received such gashes from
the five-inch tusks of the wild hogs as
to learn to keep a respectful distance.
The hunters finally came up with the
dogs while they were holding the hogs
at bay, and a regular volley was poured
in the wild animals that did not seem to
have the least effect upon them. AS the
hunting party neared the game the hogs
broke and ran again, with the dogs after
them. Every time the hunters got near
enough they would fire on the hogs,
but the shots did not seem to penetrate
their tough hides, and it became evil
dent that the race would be long one.
Late in the evening the hogs became
tired and stubborn, taking position in
a hole in the bed of the creek and fight
ing the dogs off. The hunting party
came up with them there, and fired
again without effect.
One of the party suggested that the
hogs be lariated and aiterward dis
patched. This suggestion was carried
out. Ropes were thrown over the heads
of the hogs, and they were held until an
AK was sent for, and they were knocked
in the head. They fought until the
very last, and made frequent attempts
to use their tusks on the executioner.
The hogs were very fat, and Melted
about 400 pounds each. The meat was
divided up among the party. -Sedotia

The Way the Pope Warns his Hands.

The Holy Father is now much better,
and, had it not been for the paralysis of
his limbs, it might be said that his health
was as good as it was last spring. For
the past three days he has been taken
from his bed at 9 o'clock in the morning
and placed il his armchair, III which he
remains until 2 o'clock in the day.
1t is known that he has ahorror of fire.
He can't endure stove in any OF his
apartments; but when the weather is
bad, and his hands become cold, he asks
for his pailetta. This oaLIetta is silver
ball little larger than an egg, in which
hot water is inclosed. The Pope takes
it, rolls it in his hands for a few mo-
ments then, when his hands are warm
enough, he places it upon footstool,
and takes it up again if he finds itneces-
sary. This ingenious method of warm
ing the hands is the invention of the Pope

THE WHEAT CRoP.-Some of the
farmers of Western Maryland have
threshed portion of their wheat,
and the yield per acre is entirely un-
precedented. Although the late
frosts did good deal of damage in
some parts of Washington county,
yet as a whole the crop is the best
ever harvested. The Hagerstown
Mail mentions number of farmers
who count upon yield of 40 BUSH
els to the acre. However, this high
estimate is not sustained by the re-
suits of the small amount of thresh-
ing that has been already done, ex-
cept in a single instance. A lot con-
tanning two acres and quarter, in
the Clear Spring District, belonging
to Miss Draper, yielded exactly QUE
hundred bushels forty bushels to the
acre. But should the yield reach
thirty-five, or even thirty, bushels
per acre, the crop will exceed the
best that has ever been raised in one
of the finest wheat producing coun-
ties In the United States.

that they shun the locality, not alone,
