wAsHINGToS CITY, May 16.-A circular letter
of instructions to special agents, relating to tim
Der reservation, was today promulgated from
the general land office. 1t says in part:
1t Il, of Importance to reserve all the lands
in he mountainous and other regions
which are covered with timber or under
growth at the head waters of rivers and
along the banks OF streams, creeks and ravines,
where such timber or underground is the means
provided by nature to absorb and check mount
ain torrents and to prevent the sudden and
rapid melting OF the winters snow, which
would result in the inundation of the val
leys below and destroy the agricultural and
pssturage interests of communities and settle
ments in the lower portion OF the country. For
the purpose of acquiring the necessary data
upon which to base recommendation
for such forest reservations, the commits
sioner gives full and explicit instructions.
After making an examination of the timber
lands of any drainage basin and having decided
to recommend the same for reservation, the
agent 10 required to publish notice of his inten-
ton in order that any person interested may be
heard upon the subject
Secretary Noble and the commissioner are
very much In earnest in their efforts TO preserve
the forests in the West, and every effort will be
made to carry out In liberal spirit the provis-
ions of the act of March 8, 1891.

THE CoMPANY,s STATEMENT.
Manager C. j. Smith Tells Why Ne
groes Were Brought Here.

Az soon as definite news of the arrival of the
negroes had been received, Mr.. c. j. Smith,
manager of the Oregon improvement Company,
who had heretofore refused to make any state
meat, was awakened at his hotel by a PosT-IS-
TELLI6EEcER reporter. When assured that the
black men had arrived, he made the following
statement:
81 see 1t is stated this company Is opposed to
labor organizations, and the fact that it has
brought negro laborers to Franklin mine is used
as evidence of this, and of the companys inten-
ton of breaking up such organizations in its
employ.
"This is entirely wrong. We have no objec-
tons to labor organizations, as such, but other
wise, and expect our action will be beneficial
to them after they have had the opportunity to
see the results.
Labor organizations, like all other classes of
people, are sometimes unreasonable and blind
TO their own interests and to the interests of
their members, and while in this condition are
liable to act from wrong impulses and to stand
in their own light
"When this condition arises the employer is
hardly to be blamed for protecting himself, es-
pecially If in doing so he does nothing to in
jure the organization, but benefits II by practi-
cal showing of the losses 1t sustains by adhering
TO policy which has tendency to strangle
and destroy the industry by which its members
are supported.
1.-THE Franklin mine of this company was
closed down in September, 1890, because a de-
mand OF Is per cent. increase was made, and as
the cost of mining at this mine was then high,
the demand could not be granted without los
ing money. Since September no mining has
been done in this mine, except such new work
and dead work as would enable the company to
open the mine to its full capacity when oppor-
tunity occurred.
"Both this mine and the Newcastle mine are
largely supported by railroad and steamship
contracts, which require above all things con-
slant and steady production. We have not in
the past been able to obtain this. The Newcastle
mines under ordinary conditions, can produce
$4,000 per anDum; the Franklin mine, 10000
tons; yet these amounts, except in one year at
franklin, have never been reached

THE DAIRY.

The churnings of selected diaries
have been found by comparison to vary
from one pound of butter from thirteen
pounds of milk to one pound OF butter
from thirty-two pounds Of milk. This
illustrates the necessity of testing the
milk product In order to ascertain
whether the cows are yielding a hand
some profit or netting o loss.-Ohio
Farmer.
The dairymen who sell their butter
at fancy price are careful to put it up
in the most attractive form. Not only
must the quality be good. but the ap-
pearance as well. The parchment but
ter paper. which has Of recent years
come into extensive employment for
wrapping prints, is used by all the best
butter makers. Practical Farmer.
A heavy grain ration sometimes
fails to acc omplish the desired end in
the dairy. the food going almost wholly
to the formation of flesh instead OF
increasing the milk yield. One reason
for this is that the animal tends toward
the beef type instead Of the milk type
by nature, but this tendency may large
~ be overcome by feeding beets or othc,
roots with the grain to restore and
maintain proper equilibrium. INVEST

HOW OFTEN TO MILK.

1t May be Done Three Times . Day In
Summer.
With ordinary cows twice day is
sufficient for milking. but there areooc.
casional exceptions which in full flow
of milk, especially on good pasture in
June, need to be MIXED oftener than
once in twelve hours, to prevent in.
furious pressure on the bag. There is
at this season about sixteen hours Of
daylight in the mort hern states, and
the three milkings, morning. noon and
night, may be put Gig hit hours apart,
and each be done without needing a
lantern. But COW MIXED three times
a day ought to have some extra feed
besides, even with the best pasture, and
such a cow will always pay well for all
the grain she will eat. Three times
milking daily will prevent her from
fattening. In fact, if milking later in
the season were put twelve hours apart
cows would not dry off SO fast as they
do, even after they get on dry feed. by
leaving the milk in the bag fourteen
and even fifteen hours. as is often
done in winter, a great lcal of fat is
absorbed, and goes to fatten the cow.
More frequent and more regular milk
ing will improve the milking capacity
of cows, and will also transmit better
milking capacity to their offsnr ns,s, a
point not often thought of. :iost of the
time that a COW is beiis: milked she is
bearing the@ future calf, and whatever
affects the liam must also affect the foe
tuS -Coleman's Rural World.
Packin. Hu. er.
A New York subscribe asks how to
pack butter SO it will keep till winter.
Very much depends on the quality of
the butter when packed, how free from
buttermilk, etc. Well-made butter
packed solid in new, sweet jars OF tubs
and kept ut cool, even temperature
should keep till winter. If a person
has not cold storage, cool spring may
DC substituted. We have known but
ter kept in this way till winter. If the
jars are not filled quite full and brine
is put over the butter it will be better.
We have recently seen it suggested
that it would pay those who cannot
avail themselves of cold storage to pack
butter from the churn, while in small
grains, in strong brine and in the winter
time take it out, churn in buttermilk
and work as though fresh churned.-
American Dairyman,
