No More Merlnos IN Hartland.
WOODsTOC'

The interest in sheep continues
undated among Hartland farmers.
but the great hocks of Merinos. once
so popular there, are memory OF
the past. NotwitE standing the beau
tv of their heeccs, they will never
again cover the hiIsidcs of that
town. Experience has demonstrated
the fact that our long, cold winters
call for hald der breeds. All our old
sheep men remember how, IN the
early spring, they ''watched their
hocks BY night" with warm blank
cts for the lambs and mothers, and
themselves clad in warm overcoats,
with something of a warming nature
inside, in order to see their f1ocks
safely through the Landing season.
Ask any old sheepman how this
used to he. But with the Shrop-
shires, this extra labor is unneces-
sary, and for this reason the flocks
of the future, in this cold climate,
will be composed of these hardy and
healthy breeds.

The New York Tribune calls atten-
tlon to some lessons from the old world
on the effects Of forest destruction,
which are especially applicable to
New Mexico ana deserve repeating
here because OF the general
apathy which has existed among our
people In reference to the preservation
Of our mountain forests.
The first lesson Is drawn from India,
where the fearful famine now prevail
ing Is traceable to a large extent, d.
rectly to forest destruction. Lack OF
food production is the result Of the
drought, and the drought is the result
OF forest destruction. The increase in
population under the favorable condi-
tions of British rule has Increased the
demand for arabic land. and to supply
this demand the forests and jungles
have beencleared away by thousands of
square miles. With the removal OF
these great reservoirs OF nature, the
arabic land has become parched and
un~productive, "A famine Is the result.
The second lesson pointed out comes
from Egypt, wherethe Nile, the great
source OF life TO vegetation for thou
on thousands Of acres OF land, is
drying up. 1t no longer approaches the
height and depth which IL attained I'm
ancient times and Is falling perceptibly
from year to year. The cause of this
is the rapid and reckless destruction
Oh the forests In which the great river
has Its sources.
Another lesson comes from the region
OF the Congo. Not many years ago the
vast forest wilderness Of his country
were thouhgt to be i~nexhaustlble. but
so great has ben the slaughter made
by the man with the ak that the neces-
sity Of measures for their preservation
are now being discussed.
