as Filipinos. TO this invasion tie
Philippines owe the important tribes
of Tagalogs, dwelling In and around
Manila; the Visayuns, dwelling in the
central islands; the Nicols OF southern

Reducing the Loss Of Pigs.

life, and II there Is anything

1nterest To- Our Forests.

Considerable space has been given
In this department from time to time
urging farmers to do their share to-
ward renewing the forests Of the
country. Perhaps the writer has been
unduly insistent on this subject, but
II SO it is because he knows how near
the danger point we are. 1t may not
be generally known that the bureau of
forestry connected with the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
stands ready to assist in establishing
forest planting on small or large
scale.
Write to this bureau at Washington
stating what land you have to devote
to the purpose and an agent of the de-
partment will be sent to confer with
you and he will furnish plan for
planting, assist in the selection of va
rleties and In other ways give you tho
right start. OF course, the expense for
seeds or trees Is borne by the land
owner, but Uncle Sam will start him
right 1t is to be hoped that many
farmers with waste land OF little or
no value now will be glad to assist
the government in rc-establishing for
ests throughout the country, for they
