Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Agriculture, has received a COM
munication from Secretary Hitchcock,
of the Department of the Interior, ask
ing his aid in solving the problem of
grazing in the western forest reserves.
The Division of Forestry will COM
mence Immediately an investigation
which will last several months. The
controversy vel the alleged evil eff
fects of sheep grazing has involved
western cattlemen, ~woolgrowers, and
farmers in a bitter war for many
years, and the recent increase of irri-
cation has added to the bitterness.
Government action in the matter has
been FASTENED by the establishment of
forest reserves. In view of the injury

o~vergrazing, all reserves except those
In Washington and Oregon, and the
Black Mesa Reserve, in Arizona, which
Is to be opened to 300, 900 sheep at 8
cents a head, are closed to sheep by an
order issued last May. This step has
raised a storm of protest from WOOL
growers, who insist that no harm is
done by grazing under proper restric-
tons. Many are reported 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 e disaster to agricul-
ture in the lowlands. These argue thai
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 to
perpetuate the forest, but to tramp
down innumerable seedlings and de-
stroy the layers of leaves necessary to
keep the soil in good condition. Sheep
herders are accused of burning large
areas in order to secure a growth Of
grass. While the government will
decide the. matter only in the case of
the forest reserves. these include a
large part Of all the summer ranges
of the western sheep raising states,
and the results will be of great import

Wonders of the Digger Bee.

DR.. John B. Smith, writing in Popu-
lar Science, gives the name of digger
bee" to a blue-green bee having a me-
tallic sheen, which may be seen fit
ting about sandy places during the
first heats Of May. With the aid of
liquid plaster of Paris poured into the
holes that it makes in the ground, he
has followed the bee through a won
derful course of digging. The work
is all done by females. and It's primary
object is to provide protected cells in
which the young are bred. The bee
makes a tunnel a quarter of an inch
in diameter, which, after starting for
a few inches on a slope, runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth
of a foot or more short lateral tunnels
are driven. and at the ends Of these
are formed the breeding cells. Hav-
ing provided for her young, the bee
continues to dig, down and yet far

even more beneath the surface, dy-

time her first progeny begin to make
their way to the surface"

Cloud rurrets and rhunder-storms.

A scientific explanation of the con-
nection between imposing masses of
cumulus clouds, piled up in aspiring
white turrets, which are popularity
called thunder heads" and the ap-
proach of a thunder storm is offered in
a recent report on cloud studies at the
Blue Hill observatory. 1t appears
that the form of cloud called turreted
cumulus is most common when there
is a rapid vertical decrease of tenn
perature in the upper air, combined
with heating at the ground, which IA

an article of human food in this
try it has not been popularity accepted,
as the beans contain a large quantity
of gluten, and are very difficult to

very close to the stems, from the sur

To Clean Old Crates and Fenders
The open CRATES and tenders and
stove fronts that have seen hard SER
vice during the winter prove especially
distressing to the careful housewife
when thoughts Of the coming spring
renovation seem to impart an extra
shabbiness. The old methods of 'shin-
Ing" with various preparations in the
form of stove polish have very little
effect on the Redeemed and roughened
surfaces; how to give them a good
shining black polish that will last is
the question.
Every housewife should know that
one pint Of asphaltum, thoroughly
mixed with a gill Of t%urpentine, and
applied with a paintbrush to these
crates, fronts, tenders, or any similar
iron substance, will give the shining
appearance that they wore when new.
This amount of the mixture will paint
five CRATES and belongings, also the
kitchen stove. 1t will last just as long,
and will give exactly the appearance
that each had when new. 1t is secured
at a trifling cost, and is so easily ap-
piled that this work will prove one of
the most satisfactory duties Of the
spring ~renovating.

In heavy and foggy weather it is
very difficult for the captains and
pilots of ships to ascertain the direc-
ton from which the sounds of fog
whistles, bells and other signals come
unless there is some special device for

apparatus here illustrated, as an aid
in the collection of the sound and To-
eating the point of the compass from
which the sounds emanate. Journaled
in a suitable bearing on the top of

which can be turned to all points OF
the compass by a crank within reach
of the operator. The sound waves are
transmitted through the connecting
pipe to the pair Of ear tubes. 1t is

The Common yellow Rear.

Scientific name, Spilsona virginia..
Bulletin 81, Of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station, says: This is one OF
our most common hairy caterplllars,
and whoever has a garden must have
me- with this troublesome insect,
which devours alike flowers, vege-
tables and fruit. With us it seems
to be very partial to the leaves OF
the grapevine, apple, currant and
go~oseberry, though nearly all other
plants are eaten when hunger presses.
The insect is sometimes very destruc-
tive to corn, beans and peas. 1t is
found from June to late in September.
When young the c~aterpillars are blu
1sh-white, but when full-grown they
may be found of a pale cream color,
yellow, light-brown or very dark
brown, the different colors often APP
pearing in a brood Matched from one
batch of eggs. Yellow is, however, the
most common color, and in all the
different color varieties the undg
side is dark.
The bright-colored eggs, which az
round and yellow, are deposited on
the under side of leaves in large clus<
ters. The moth, which is very gener-
ally called the miller, frequently flies
into u rooms at night. 1t is easily
recognized by its pure white color, by
having the abdomen orange-colored
above, with three rows OF black spots.
The best time to destroy these
troublesome caterpillars is soon after
they hatch, and when they are still
feeding side by side. BY making the
worms drop into a vessel containing
some kerosene oil. we can kill them

Gas-Plpe Lines to Distribute Power.
The attention of electrical engineers
has been attracted to the prospective
use of the gas engine on a vast scale
for the generation and transmission of
power. Mr.. George Westinghouse be-
lieves that a great saving of expense
as compared with present methods
would result from the distribution of
gas generated at central points and
conveyed in pipes along the lines of
railways for the operation of gas en-
gines and electric generators. He
suggests the installation of such a sys-
tenn in connection with the electrical
equipment of railways, especially met
ropolitan and suburban lines; and
also the use of fuel gas and gas engines
to supply light and power for the
whole of Manhattan island.

includes al arrangement for taking up
the slack in the rope, without in any
way pulling on the halter suf1-
GENTLY to annoy the animal.
The rope is passed through the
front of the manger, resting on
a pulley, which may be adjusted
to any desired height. and a small
weight is attached to the outer end,
which is sufficient to hold the rope
taut, no matter in what position the
animal puts his head. A patent on the
device has been granted to William
H, Bartrum OF England.

Horticultural Observations.

The cow pea promises to be as good
a friend to the fruit grower as it is to
the general farmer that cannot grow
clover. 1t can be grown for a few
months in the orchard or between the
rows of ~blackberries and r~aspberries,
and in fact in connection with almost
any bush fruit. 1t is easily disposed
of, the long vines making it easy to
handle 1t rapidly. Even the straw
berry grower may find this plant a
serviceable ally. Perhaps it will pay
to put it on the land lately occupied
by a strawberry bed. Land so treated
should soon be serviceable for another
bed.
The strawberry root louise has been
recognized as a strawberry pest since
1882, in which year it was described
by Prof. Forbes. Prof. Weed took up
the study Of the insect and named it
Aphis Forbesi, in honor of Prof.
Forbes. 1t is now quite generally
known as far east as the Atlantic
coast. In New Jersey and Maryland
this year it is reported to be doing a
good deal of damage. Fortunately the
insect is wingless and can spread but
slowly. 1t is, however, believed that
the ants help it to spread, by carrying
lice to new beds. The ants also do
some. damage to the plants by tunnel
ing around the strawberry roots SO
that the lice can find good feeding
ground, the pay the ant receives being
the ~honey-dew the lice exude. It is
a difficult insect to fight when it has
once obtained a foothold, as it's work
is largely under ground. The best way
to do when the insect has appeared in
a neighborhood is to put out new beds
on absolutely clean ground and see
that no colonies of ants are neal
enough to assist the plant lice to new
~pasturage.

AS no general rule can be applied,

The first step of the Division Of For
estry will be to collect imrartially the
testimony of both sides. Lists of
questions will be sent to thousands Of
sheep men and their opponents. About
July 1 an examination of the reserves
will begin. A number of botanists, ir-
rigation experts, and similar scientific
men will be secured from all parts of
the United States, and they will spend
several months in the field. In addi-
ton, all field parties of the Division Of
Forestry engaged in other work in the
interested regions will be required to
give to the sheep question also. Sec

Destroying CurranU Worms.-Instead
of white hellebore to destroy currant
and gooseberry worms, some fruit
growers are successfully using a mix
ture of dry air-slaked lime and sui
phur. The only direction given is to
take air-slaked lime, as fine as dust,
and mix a little sulphur with it. Ap-
ply the powder with a dry-air gun, or
put it in a coarse burlap bag and shake
it over the bushes, covering the foliage
we'll with the dust. 1t not only kills
the worms, but is beneficial as a
remedy for mildew.
