Co.. Blnghamton, NJ Y. When writing men
tion reading this generous offer in this paper
serves. The Division Of Forestry
will commence immediately an in
vestigation which will last several
months.
Tie controversy over the alleged
evil effects Of sheep grazing has in
yolved western cattlemen, wool
growers, and farmers in bitter
war for many years, and the recent
increase Of irrigation has added to
the bitterness. Government action
in the matter has been FASTENED BY
the establishment Of forest reserves,
In view Of the injury to the forests
in many sections from oyergrazing,
all reserves except those in Wash
ington and Oregon, and the Black
Mesa Reserve. in Arizona, which IS
to be opened to 800 900 sheep at 3
cents head. are closed to sheep
by an order issued last May. This
step has raised storm of protest
from woolgrowers, who insist that
no harm is done By grazing under
proper restrictions. Many are re-
ported to have driven their herds
into the mountains last summer in
defiance of The law.
Against the sheep owners are ar
rayed the cattlemen and farmers.
and especially the irrigators. who
claim the practice means disaster
to agriculture in the lOwlands.
These argue that sheep destroy the
forest cover in the mountains and
thus diminish the water supply.
They are said not only to eat the |
young growth which is toperpetuate
the forest, but to tramp down in
Vulnerable seedlings and destroy !
the layer OF leaves necessary to |
keep the soil n good condition.
Sheep herders are accused of burn |
ing large areas in order to secure a |
growth of grass. While the Gov
viii decide the matter only
in the case of the forest reserves,
these include a large part OF ap the
summer ranges Of the western
States, and the re-
suits viii be Of great Importance to
the American wool-growers in
dustry.
As no general rule can be APP
Piled, each reserve will be studied
separately The first step q the
Division of Forestry will be 10 col
lect imQartially the testimony Of
both sides. Lists Of questions win
be sent to thousands of sheep men
and their opponents. About July l
an examination Of the reserves Will
begin. A number Of botanists. lr-
.rlgation experts, and similar scien.
tihc men viii be secured from all
parts OF the United States, and they
will spend several Months in the
field, In addition, all field parties
of the Division OF Forestry engaged
in other work in the Interested re-
gions viii be required to give time
to The sheep question also. Secre-
tary Hitchcock has asked the De-
| partment Of Agriculture to give
special attention the following
phases;
Relation of grazing to taxation
and the general prosperity of spec
fled localities
Relation Of grazing to forest
fires,
Relation Of grazing to the pre-
servation and reproduction e for

Relation of grazing to irrigation

HOLE In BERMUDA'S HULL
PATCHED BY DIVERS

merged fruit steamer Bermuda, along
side of pier 49,, North Wharves, Phila-
delphia. At present there seems no
immediate prospect Of raising the old
hlibuster The hole in the steamers
bottom has been patched from the in
side with planks. fax and canvas, and
coverings also have ben made for 'the
matches. so that the hold may be kept
watertight after the vessel is pumped
out.
Through the medium Of large pom
toons the Bermuda will be raised.
These are to be placed on either side
of the hull and sunk as low as possible
by pumping water into them.
They will then be connected with
each other by chains passing under the
hull. AS the water i'm pumped out of
the pontoons they will rise and at the
same time the sunken vessel will be
forced to rise also.

Christopher l.. Ward. the prominent
attorney, who yesterday renomced all

to-day because Of the step he has taken.
To a reporter for the Evening Journal
Mr.. Ward this morning spoke willingly
of his acceptance Of the principles Of Re

when the Democratic convention OF
1896 adopted the Chicago platform. hum
dreds OF thousands Of Democrats tenn

"rhe event has not fulfilled our c&l
pcctations. Kansas City has shown us
that the mental alienation is complete
and permanent The Chicago platform in
all its aspects OF dishonesty, dema-

aJvices show that the banners of the
imperial cortege were seen leaving
rekin on the 18th, and that probably
the empress dowager, as well as the
emperor, had left the city. Consul Cen
eral Goodnow advised the state depart
ment that he had information from
Chinese sources that the empress dow
ager had left Pel1in.
The attitude which the international
forces viii observe toward the emperor
and empress dowager is understood
> TO have received official consideration
among the powers. It Is quite generally
understood that there will be no per-
sonal indignity to the emperor or em-
press dowager. not because It is felt
that there is any special consideration
due them, but because China would he

Lieut.. Butler has been wounded.
The acting secretary of state
makes public the receipt of a telegram
from Consul General Goodnow. dated
the goth inst, reporting a statement of
the governor of Shan Tung. that the
empress left Pekin on the 18th for
Sinan Fu. in the province of Shensi,
and that Princes Ching and Tuan and
Niceroy kank vi are still in Pekin.
"Sinan Fu' appears to be another pho
netic version OF the name of the capital
of Shensi, where there is an imperial
palace.
Chinas latest application for peace
negotiations was received early In the
day at the Chinese legation, and was
transmitted by Mr. Wu to the state
department Earl Lis request is that
the United States shall name Minister

sbaIIow Cultivation Rest.

Cultivation in the orchard should be
shallow. We need not concern our
selves about the subsoil of the or
chard or bush berries. The feeding
roots must come near the surface to
get the influence of the suns heat.
These little feeding roots in count
less millions tunnel the ground in all
directions, only living about "a hours,
when they die and give place to
others; but the tunnel is left to ad-
nit air and increase the surface of
soil grains, and thus the soil is en-
riched and kept friable, SO that the
cultivator should never go down more
than two inches. Roots are often
found at great depth, but they are
for the purpose OF anchorage. The
active feeding. roots are always found
near the surface. They must not be
driven away by deep cultivation
