Money In Pigs.

The following from Country
Life in America explains how a
girl began a profitable industry
on a great farm.Says the writer:
Six years ago daughter Of
DR.. w. Seward Webb,in order to
show her business ability and to
a little additional pocket money,
took a little flyer" in stock
breeding on Shelbourne farms,
DR.. Webb's country seat On
Lake Champlain, She invested
$50 in a brood SOW and with her
fathers permission made arran2-
ements with the shepherd tocare
for the SOW and pigs. AS there
was an abundance of skim milk
this was given her without cost
but the grain fed was charged
for at market prices. From
this.singie investmcntshe cleared
500 the first year, 5000 the sec
ond $500 thethird. BY this TIM
the stock had so in
creased in numbers as to out
grow its quarters,and was prov
ing so profitable that DR.. Wcbb
thought it advisable TO buy her
out. So at the end OF the fourth
year he took over the stock at
market prices and give her a
check fer 500, which represent,
c" the years profits, From
this start the present pi9erry
has been developed, which is the
most profitable department of
the place. The past year 20
pigs were sold, averaging iron
$50 to 800 pounds in wight an4
bringing one-half cent per poun,
more than the railing marke
prices because of the superior
conditions under which they arr
kept. The pigg"ry is 4 modrl
of its kind. The building is IN
keeping with the others on TIE
place in exterior Style, and the
interior is finished with pine,
cement floor End iron trough and
fixtures.

ton & Co., of Charleston, S. c.,
has asked for the help of the Blu.
reau of Forestry in managing
10000 acres of pine forest about
30 miles northwest of Charleston
on the Cooper River. The COM
pany's mills have a capacity of
? 0,O00,O 600 board feet a year, and
the company wishes to know, a.
mong other things, whether tie
yearly increase IN growth of lis

ply its mills. If it should lie
found not sufficient, the COM
pany desires to know how many
additional acres IRE required to

Turpentine operators will be

ing, which has been proved so
successful. The experiments OF
the Bureau of Forestry, at Ocilla,
Ga, conducted by DR.. Charles H.
Herty, have shown the great
superiority OF the cup and gutter
system over the old method of
boxing pines. Trees treated by
the new system have yielded %
per cent more turpentine than
boxed trees. Moreover, only the
highest grades of rosin were
produced. The increased yield
for the first year alone has been
found sufficient to pay for the
new equipment and to furnish a
profit besides. An advantage
for the timber owner to consider
is that the cup and gutter sys-
tenn does away with the injuri.
ous box and thus lessons greatly
the damage done to the trees.
The superiority of the new
method of turpentining is so evil
dent that many operators who
are cquainted with DR.. Herty's
Experiments are eager to adopt
it. Several potteries for the
manufacture of earthen cups
have been established: in a short
time the new system will proba-
bly, be in general use throughout
the turpentine belt.
To make the benefits of the
new method directly available
the Bureau of Forestry, besides
issuing a circular of instructions,
offers, without cost, the assist
ance OF Dr.. Herty, who will per-
sonally direct in the field the in
sta,lment of tie new system.
Requests for assistance should

the Bureau CT Forestry, has re-
turned from the Philippines,
where be was sent last August
by Secretary Wilson, at the re-
quest of the Secretary of War, to
report on the forest policy of the
islands.
a personal examination Of the
Philippine forests and a study of
market conditions have convinc-
ed Mr.. Pinchot of the value of
the timber and of the very great
opportunities on the islands for
government forestry. "Both for
forestry and for foresters,' he
"the Philippines offer the
frest field l know of. The For

Capt. Geo. p. Ahern, has charge

The Philippines"
On a gunboat placed at his dis
posal by Governor Taft, Mr.. Pin
chot, in company with Captain
Ahern. made a trip of 5000 mills
among the islands. The sailing
was done at night, when possible;
landings were made in the day
and the forests of the larger is
lands and of many of the smaller
ones we're examined.
"Probably more than half the
area of the islands is in Forest"
says Mr.. Pinchot. 1.-THE best
timber I saw was in Mndanao,
on the road built by the army
from the coast to Linao, where
the fighting with the Moros has
been going on. There the best
trees are $50 to 175 feet high,
with clear length of 80 to 100 feet
and diameters of 3 to 3 feet. The
forest is dense and interviewer
with creepers, and progress
through it is often impossible
without cutting a way. The
islands contain large areas with.
out forest, as along the railroad
from Manila to Dagupan. Near
ly the whole island of Cebu and
parts of Panay are without for
est. On the other hand, Minda-
nao and Paragua are nearly all in
forest.
"The pine of the Benguet prov
ince is about the only tree which
an American in the PHILIPPINES
will recognize. Although nearly
700 species have been described
and classified, doubtless many
Philippine trees still remain un-
known. Very many of the tim
bers are fine cabinet woods; near
ly all are heavy, and many sink
in water. At present their use
is limited entirely by their abili-
ty to withstand the attacks of the
teredo and white ant.
LAUNDERING is d problem on
the islands. The death Of near
ly all the caribou has in some
places reduced the industry TO
the employment Of hand labor
