pie sugar and make the toothsome ma
pie syrup a still better known article
OF food on the American table Since
1850 the area of maple sugar farming
has greatly changed and shrunk. In
the early days of the country maple
sugar was commonly made even in
many parts of the south, because cane
sugar was virtually unobtainable.
Now there is no maple sugar produced
in the southern states.
In Indiana, Michigan and Illinois the
maple trees have been extensively cut
for lumber and the production of ma
pie sugar and strip has been reduced
to minimum, while cheap limitations
of this delicious article are flooding the
markets. The present largest pro-
ducers of sugar maple products are
Ohio, Vermont and New York. The
sugar and black maple yield the most
and the best sap. The maple is a
hardy and vigorous tree and readily
reproduces itself; so that the bureau
of forestry believes that with proper
attention extensive groves of this val
liable tree can be preserved and grown.
1t is figured out that farmer can cas-
lily clear from three to five dollars an
acre from sugar grove, and as it re-
quires no cultivation and the farmer
can do most of his own work the profit
is considerable.
Secretary Wilson is aiding all he can
in furthering this sweet work and in
the bulletins he has issued from his
department there are minute instruc-
tions how to collect the maple sap
with the least damage to the trees and
with the greatest economy to the far
mer.

Others just as good! Every girl

course, but they were not just as good,

obeying your will-girls, this is tri.

statesmen and bearing their names.
Until recently the list of these me-
mortal trees was carried in the head
of canny old Scotchman. William R.
Smith, superintendent of the National
botanical gardens. Mr.. Smith is getting
on in years, and it has been deemed
advisable that the hundreds and thou
sands of interesting trees in the parks
of the national capital be given per-
manent record. Within the past two
years labels have been attached to all
the trees, showing their variety and a
record has been prepared of those trees
which were planted by men of note, so
that they form one of the interesting
features of Washington to be shown
the tourist
In the white house lawn, near the
west terrace, President Roosevelt
planted year ago a Russo American
oak. 1t is lineal descendant of a
native American oak which overshad-
owed the old tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon. Charles Sumner. when
senator, sent acorns from this oak to
the car OF Russia. They were plant
ed in the grounds of one of the cars
palaces, and Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, when ambassador to that
country, secured from the oak trees
that grew from those acorns few oak
saplings, one of which was planted in
the white house grounds. There is an
oriental plane tree in Lincoln park,
planted by Thaddeus Stevens of Penn
sylvania. In the grounds in front OF
the white house is stately elm plant
ed by John Quincy Adams. President
Hays also planted an elm; President
Harrison a sweet gum tree, and Presi-
dent Mckinley a scarlet oak.

ATTACKED BY WILD GEESE.
Birds Wings Before
Rescued

Tacoma, Wash.-Askel J. Jurgensen, OF
Tacoma, was attacked by thousands of
wild geese in nesting field in the up
per Horse Heaven country, and had it
not been for the timely appearance Of a
game warden it is doubtful whether he
could have escaped alive.
Jurgensen was making repairs on an
irrigation ditch and had occasion to go
down toward the Columbia river Thou
sands of wild geese make anesting place
of the fields in the upper part of the
Horse Heaven country, and this is the
nesting season. Jurgensen stumbled
into field where there were thousands
of the nests, and the birds set upon him.
He carried no gun, and was forced to
run. He could not outstrip the geese,
and they beat him numerically with
their wings.
He was nearly exhausted when game
warden, attracted by the commotion IN
the field, drove up and tosk hand in
driving away the frantic birds. Accord
ing to Jurgensen's friends, he was
beaten black and blue by the wings OF
the big geese.
