FORESTRY FOR FARMERS.
United ststes Government IL Doing
Much Toward Encouraging
study of the Science.

The farmers of this country own
about 500,000,000 acres of woodland,
ten times the acreage of all the federal
forest reserves. Most of it consists
of small woodlots from which the
owners derive their timber supplies for
farm purposes.
1t was to help the farmer in caring
for his timber land that the bureau
of forestry several years ago under
took to furnish him, without cost, with
the services of its foresters. The offer
proved popular, and applications for
assistance have far exceeded the ability
of the bureau, with its limited number
of trained foresters, to answer them.
During the season just passed the bu-
reau has accomplished more than ever
before in putting small woodlots under
forest management and in teaching
the farmer how properly to treat his
timber. Two experts have been en-
ployed in the north and south who
have examined and have put under
management several thousand acres
of woodland.

every year on the farm for fuel, posts,
poles and other uses. Ordinarily, the
farmer cuts what he needs without
thought as to whether he is lessening
the power of his forest constantly to
yield its supplies. The result is that
the forest becomes poorer every year
and less able to furnish the wood its
owner needs. The skill the farmer
exercises in the management of his
crops is not of the kind that enables
him to manage properly his timber.
He needs the services of forester.
Usually, only one visit to the farm
by the bureaus expert is necessary,
and this service is given without cost
to the owner. When, as occasionally
happens, a second visit is needed, the
owner Is required to pay the travelling
and living expenses of the expert while
employed at the work.

RoosEvELT's NEW AIDS.
ExecutIon ofTheories Regarding the
Regulation of the So
Called Trusts.

The choice of George b. Cortelyou
to be secretary of the new department
of commerce and labor, and Of Hon.
James X. Garfield to be the chief Of the
bureau of corporations In that depart
ment, means more than the selection
of two young, aggressive, and we'll
equipped men to have charge OF the
important work that will be assigned
to them under the provisions of the
law creating the new department.
1t means, says the Cleveland Leader,
that the president is determined to
put into execution the theories he has
enunciated in his messages and other
public utterances concerning the regu-
lation of the so-called trusts. 1t In
generally conceded that Messrs. Cor
telyou and Garfield are admirably quail
flied for the discharge of the duties
they are to assume. The former, as
secretary to the president during a
period of several years, has displayed
ability of rare order, and he has,
furthermore, proved himself to be tact
full upon all occasions. President
Roosevelt has been brought into close
personal. relations with him, and has
had ample opportunity to estimate his
worth. Mr.. Garfield's course in public
life in Ohio demonstrated his wisdom
and levelheadedness, and it was prob
ably because his views upon many pub
lie questions were so nearly in accord
with those of the president that he
was selected some time ago as mem
Der of the national civic service COM
mission. Since Mr.. Garfield has been
in Washington, the president has had
opportunity to get better acquainted
with him, and his personal impress
sion of the young Ohioan, combined
with the knowledge that he possessed
marked ability as lawyer, probably
led to his selection as the head of the
bureau of corporations.
1t ought to be clear that Messrs.
Cortelyou and Garfield are, far more
than is usually the case il not entirely,
the personal choice of the president.
1t should be apparent, moreover, that
he has chosen these two young men
with the sole purpose Of giving full
force and effect to his personal views
upon the subject of trust regulation,
asthose views are reflected in the legis-
lation that has already been enacted
and is to be enacted by congress. There
can be no doubt, either, that Messrs.
Cortelyou and Garfield are in hearty
sympathy with the president and will
endeavor to carry out his wishes asfar
as possible.
Heretofore Mr.. Roosevelt has adj
hered very closely to the politics ia
'ored by his predecessor. Thus far
he has carried forward the work that
was inaugurated by President McKin-
ley, and in that way he has won the con-
fidence and support of altthe late pres
dents friends. Now, however, a new
policy is to be inaugurated-a policy
for which the Roosevelt administration
will receive full credit-and the presi-
dent will do his utmost to make that
policy successful. He has started
right. q

TRIAL STEEL ROADWAY.
A New York Experiment which IL
Being watched with Interest
By Road Builders.

An experimental steel highway has
recently been laid in Murray street,
between Broadway and Church street,
New York. The Automobile club Of
America has been instrumental in
securing this trial, and President
Charles M. Schwab, of the United States
Steel corporation, furnished the steel
at his own expense. Gen. Roy Stone,
formerly head of the bureau of road
inquiry, department Of agriculture,
has charge of the experiment.
At present there is only single
roadway up the center Of the street
on which loaded teams coming from
the. North river piers are given the
right of way. The accompanying
sketch shows a section through one OF
the rails, the depth of foundation
shown, however, being somewhat
greater than that finally adopted. The
rail section is very similar to that Of
a 12-iuch channel, the main difference

means TO procure the desired shape Of
rail has hampered the bureau in it's
One Of these rails was
with an eigat-inch trackway on a
gravel foundation, the weight of steel
being about 100 tons per mile of single
track road, furnished at $35 per ton.
The most extended use of steel rails
for roaiways for which data Is avail
able is in Spain on the road between
Valencia and Grao, where about two
miles of flint stone roadway was re-
placed by steel rails some ten years
ago at a total cost of $500. The sur
face of the rails was placed somewhat
lower than the paved road. at the
sides. The cost Of maintenance Of this
road, over which traffic Of $500 vehi-
cles passed daily, was at once greatly
reduced, and the result was considered
satisfactory in other ways. 1t seems
probable that such a roadway as this
would be greatly appreciated by mar
ket gardeners in the vicinity Of large
cities.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Utah Affair.

The talk about a deal between the re-
publican national committee and the
Mormon leaders, whereby Utah is to
go republican hereafter, is, of course,
bosh. The republicans carried Utah
at the outset of that community's life
as a state, before anybody thought of
deal. They have carried that state
oftener than have the democrats. In
every election except when Organism
was in its acute stage Utah has elected
republican officials. Mckinley and
Roosevelt carried Utah against Bryan
in 1900. The majority of the people
of Utah are republicans for the same
reason as the majority of most of the
states are. They know that the repub-
lican party stands for honest and pro-
gressive government and for business
sanity and prosperity.-St. Louis
