Now that the forest reservations
have become source OF revenue to
the Government. the duties of the for
cstcrs are more important, and their
instructions are more rigid. In 1898
there was cut and sold about S3OO,OO0
worth Of timber from Western forest
reserves. With proper care of the for

guard against forest fires. it Is ex-
pcctcd that this revenue will steadily
increase.

Since Commissioner Binger Herman
became the official head controlling

cessful rearing OF "bottlc babies" of
any place in the world. The first pro
cess consists of strainlng the milk
which is done by patent separator,
for Randall's Island is raising just
now 40 babies on the bottle.
The straining of the milk Is n most
important feature, and can be done
quite as well at home as at Randalls
Island Mrs. Dunphy showed the
young mother how. Taking two yards
of cheese cloth which had already been
boiled twenty minutes, she folded this
into little bundle about eight Inches
square, laid IL In an carthcnwarc pie
plate and placed the plate I'm hot
oven, where IL remained until the top
fold began to get brown. A coarse
towel was also put in the oven at the
same time.
Nine little squares were cut ont Of
the cheese cloth with bright clear scis-
sors. Three of these squares were tied
over a common milk stralncr, the milk
was poured through into another SINH
lar strainer, similarly fixed with stcril-
lied cheese cloth, and stlll through an
other strainer.
1t Is appalling how much dirt and
dust there is even in the clcanCst milk.
The milk was then put into a large
alright bottle, and the bottle set into
ice to get very cold, but not to freeze.
When sufficiently cold II was poured
into an eight ounce nursing bottle-not
one of the old-fashioned death dealing
horrors with a long rubber tube, but
with just single rubber nipple.
Mrs. Dunphy filled ten bottles, the
requisite number for one baby. The
bottles were inserted in cylinders,
bound together for convenience by a
tin band These cylinders can be
made l., any tinsmith for twenty five
or thirty cents per set of ten. The
bottles, corkcd up tightly, the cylin-
