he can well point with some pride tc
the splendid organization Of his depart
ment at this time, even though much
hue and cry has been made over the
recent discovery Of graft in the sta

is only due Mr. Wilson also to say that
it is entirely TO his own enthusiasm
and the enthusiasm and energy with
which he has imbued the corps OF
chiefs and assistants which he has
gathered about him that his de-

eight years of ineumbency by
such leaps and bounds. Although a

Secretary's appointment. little more

Rational Forest Cutting.

The rules and regulations adopted by
a large lumber company in Louisiana,
which has seen fit to cooperate with
the Bureau of Forestry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, provide for the
cutting of its timber so that the supply
will never be exhausted, only the sur
plus trees being cut, and for the plant
ing of all cleared areas In young trees,
constantly coming forward to maturity,
While our present timber consump.
tion Is far In excess Of the supply or
maturing trees. it is stated by the
Bureau of Forestry that If similar
system of forestry were applied to all
American forests, It would insure an
ample and continual supply Of lumber
for the needs Of the nation.

The New Stingless Bee.

Lumber Waste and Forest Fires.

The average American lumber camp
Is known 10 be most wasteful institi-
ton, little regard being paid to the
growth of new timber, but the greatest
danger comes from forest fires which
are fostered through the dried tops ana
brush left by the lumbermen.
The excellent work of the government
Forestry Bureau is, however, calling
the attention of broad-minded men to
the national seriousness Of such waste,
and II is stated that in the South the
Southern Railway is doing its utmost
to encourage ordinary business pru,.
dence on the part Of land owners ana
mill operators to insure the perpetual
ton Of our great timber resources.
Throughout the South several species
of pine trees grow up quickly on cut
over land. and even on new land. the
New Orleans Times-Democrat states
that with land comparatively cheap and
worthless for agricultural purposes, the
growing of pine in the South makes one
of the safest investments, provided
fires are kept out.

CARE OF LIVE STOCK IN
TRANSIT.

Secretary Wilson's late visit to
Chicago to inspect the incoming stock
trains and the manner in which they
are loaded with cattle will. it is
stated, bring about an improved con-
dtion in the handling of interstate
shipments Of livestock. Mr.. Wilson
gave the livestock and Railway Com
mttee, appointed to confer with him,
to understand that while he expected
them to obey the law, his department
had no intention of unduly hampcring
shipments, and that he would modify
certain existing orders; but he de-
mandcd of them in return that they do
everything in their power to make live
stock shipments still more humane.
Speaking of the condition of cattle
arriving in the yards, Secretary Wilson
said.
"They appeared tn have been well
cared for. The department is not try
ing to Impose hardships on the railways
or the shippers, only to secure the
best care for the stock sent out on the
hoof. The railways have not observed
the law, in my opinion, as closely as
they might have done, but l am now
assured that they will do SO, and are
anxious to cooperate with the
government. If they do so, We will
have no more trouble over this ques-
ton"

Of his trip will he his visit to India

pose of securing the giant bee of those
countries. This bee has never been
subjected to dOmcsticatiun, ana its arti-
fetal culture is unknown. 1t Is very

Httteu. :.
George McCarren, ST.. father of the
man who received the little billet OF
aluminium, was an eccentric natural
list, and spent much time In the study
of birds and insects. During McCar-
ren's youth, about twenty years ago, ne
says he remembers being told by his
father, the elder McCarren, Of dis
pute the latter had had with fellow
naturalist of Akron, Ohio, as to the
age to be attained by common crow,
and finally to settle the matter Nc
Carren attached an aluminium tag to a
crow captured in the fields and sent
the bird forth with the plate securely
fastened to its neck by wires. The
legend on the plate requested the
finder to return it to McCarren in case
anything should happen to the bird.
As McCarren, jr, remembers 1t, the
two men made a bet as to whether the
plate would be returned within twenty
years. If the crow was killed or died
they counted on the little billet being
found and returned to the address on
the plate. If this were not returned
they believed 1t would be sufficient EVIL
dence that the bird would be still
alive. McCarren bet that the plate
would not be returned within that
time; hence he won the bet. The crow
was shot by q farmer boy named
Anglers in Holmes county recently
and the billet returned to the son Of the
bettor, the elder McCarren having died
before he could realize the proceeds
and the satisfaction of winning his
wager. The little billet Is highly
priced by the McCarrens as me
