The magnificent forests Of North
America are about done for, and it is
interesting to inquire what the country
has to show for them. There are the
improved farms which have taken their
place, for one thing, the wooden build
ings Of town and country. the ties Of
$4,000 miles of railway and a vast
pile Of ashes. The wreck of the for
ests Is complete and absolute. for no
one is planting trees for future use, and
so necessity will compel the substitu-
ton of steel. clay and fiber in its varied
forms for wood in all mechanical lines
and coal, oil and peat for it as a fuel.

An infusion of Holstein blood into a
herd of cattle will do more to demoral-
ize the color of the herd than will any
other breed Of cattle. The herd will
soon become like Jacobs famous herd
Of stock. which was ring streaked and
speckled-black, black and white, dun
color, red and white and every whim'
steal vagary of color known to kline
And it will. further, put long legs on tc
the critters and make beef men lool
askance at all the steers. AS a pure
breed by themselves the HOlsteins are
a most valuable one. but make the
worst cross Of any of our pure bred cat
tie.

RUSSIAN SETTLERS IN NORTH DA.
kOTA.


The writer spent day or so among
the Russian settlers on the range lands
Of western North Dakota recently.
These people are of German origin and
speak the German and not the Russian
language and represent a class of Rus
sian citizens which the government of
that country has been glad TO get rid
of. These settlers are scattered over
this range country and live primitive
sort Of life, caring for their fiocks and
herds, which find a living the year
round upon the nutritious buffalo grass
which there abounds. These people
make sun dried brick out of the clay
dug out of the sloughs. which they mix
with straw after the manner Of the
Egyptians of old and with these bricks
build their houses and barns for their
stock Being far removed from a fuel
/ supply, they utilize the manure from
their stockyards, and around each
homestead may be seen this sort of fue
corded up in piles for use during the
winter. But little land is farmed, and
their principal source of revenue is the
stock which they keep.

There is much summer following
done in the wheat country Of the Da-
kotas and Manitoba, this being the only
method used to rest the land and in
sure a crop. OF late it has been dis
covered that such fallow fields if
planted to corn, even as far north as
latitude AZ and As, where the corn has
nip and tuck race with spring and
early fall frosts. will the following year
produce a much better crop Of wheat
than if the land is allowed to lie idle,
and so it comes that the area of corn
culture is being greatly extended in
that north country, the earliest known
varieties being planted and at least a
/ good crop of fodder raised and some
times quite a crop Of corn.

BARN SWALLOWS.

A colony of barn swallows pre-empt-
ed the caves on the north side Of a big
barn, and the owner of the barn, not
being a lover of birds, kept long pole
ready to tear down the swallows nests
as fast as they could build them. The
effort of these birds to build and rear
their young under such discOuraging
conditions was almost pathetic. Day
after day the nest would be laid up in
wonderful bird masonry, only to be
wrecked after this old codger had fin
ished milking his COWS in the evening.
Whether be broke them up and drove
them away we do not know, but if It
had been our barn they could have
made their home there in peace.

constructed 30 as to have clear run Of
water from such propellers.
The fact that this ship has her NJ o.

slaughter of the Pigeons.

AT the recent Grand A merican Handi.
cap pigeon shoot held ut Interstate
Park, Long Island, nearly 10000 tame
pigeons were killed by the expert
marksmen vino competed.
This tremendous slaughter of birds,
says the Chicago Tribune, has aroused
a storm Of protests from people all over
the country, whose humane instincts
have been shocked by the wholesale
killing in the name of sport. The OBJ
jectois point out that hundreds Of
birds in the great handicap were not
killed outright, but were MANNED and
left to suffer for hours until they were
gathered up by the retrieving boys,
whose methods of putting the wounded
birds out of their misery are often the
refinement Of cruelty. How many
crippled birds were not found by the
boys. but auttered and crept out of
reach, and died later from their
wounds, is uncertain. An attempt was
made to secure the passage OF law by
the New York Legislature maKing
rap.shootiug at live birds unlawful ;
but it proved unsuccessful. Laws for
bidding the "sport" are already on the
statute books of each of the New Eng.
land States and of Colorado. The chief
advocates OF this form of pigeon shoot
ing are the gun and ammunition makers,
who employ many of the well known
professional marksmen to travel around
the country and slaughter birds with
their appliances. Few real sportsmep
find much excitement In numbering
tame pigeons with double barreled
shoteuns as they rise from the ground
less than hundred feet away.
Gov. Hum wisely refused to sign a
bill passed ny the Delaware Legislature
authorizing trap-shooting at live birds.
