PRESERVING THE FORESTS.
Conserving Streams by Means of the
Forest Reserves.

The destruction of our forests has
been going on at 50 great rate as to
alarm the public mind and prepare the
people to accept some remedy, says
Outing.
The interests Of irrigation and navi-
CATION have called attention to the
necessity Of preserving the sources Of
our water course by retaining or restor-
ing the forests from which they flow.
Fortunately many millions of acres
Of wooded lands are still held by the
national government and about 81 900
600 acres Of these lands have been set
apart In eightythree permanent nation
al forest reserves. The primary pur-
pose Of these reservations is to con-
serve the streams and provide means
Of irrigation and also, in some degree,
to influence the rainfall. They are well
scattered in the far west ana are gem
orally upon land which is If little value
for agricultural uses.
They are reserved for the Use of man
and not reserved from his Use. The
ripaned trees will be cut as they may
he needed. There has been much local
opposition to many Of these reserva-
tiOns, but time and observation have
greatly changed the local sentiment.
The experimental stage has passed and
they can therefore be accepted as an
established fact, and the question nat
urally arises as to what extent they
may be utilized for the preservation Of
the remains Of our birds, fish and game
and be used as sources of propagation
and supply. At least portion of these
lands should be so used. The writer of
this article has for many years endeav-
ored to secure legislation to this end.
Wyoming has shown her sympathy with
the movement by declaring Il perma-
nently closed season in that part Of the
forest reserve adjacent to the Yellow
stone National park.

Big Demand for Pork.

The demand for pork this year has
astOnlShed even the most sangune
friends of the hog. Both fresh and
cured meats have been taken in large
volume right along at prices which
were so high that they We're expected
to check consumption. There are three
reasons why this condition has existed
and still exists. First Is the prosper
ty of the South. large consumer Of
cured meats. The Southern trade was
never larger than it is to-day. Next
is the growing foreign trade, which
like our own, seems to proceed regard
less. of prices. And, finally, the people
of this country have learned to eat
bacon Its consumption Is unprece-
dented in our history, and is still grow
ing. There has been no shortage in
numbers of hogs, but vastly increased
demand. This'is why prophecies based
on hog supplies have failed and are
likely to fail in the future.-National
StOckman.

A pretty experiment can be made
with hand mirror any night when
there is a full moon. Hold the mirror
50 that the moons image will be seen
I'm it and you will be surprised to see
four moons instead OF one. One moon
will be very bright, but the other three
will be In straight line and quite
dull. one dull image on one side Of the
bright moon and the other two on the
other side. Turn the mirror around
slowly, still holding its face to the
moon. and the reflections will seem to
revolve around a common center
You can make the same experiment
with any one of the very bright stars,
such rs Sirius. Venus or Jupiter, but
with these there will be three images
instead of four, as the number seen de-
pends on the breadth Of the object
The explanation Is simple. There are
two surfaces In n mirror one I'm front

Hnir-Balls.

We are frequently asked what causes
hair-balls. These concretions are pro,
duced by the animals licking them
selves or other animals. AS result
Of this habit the hairs swallowed are
carried around by the contractions Of
the stomach and gradually assume the
form Of a small pellet or ball. These
increase in size as fresh quantities Of
hair are introduced into the stomach.
which become adherent to the surface
Of the hair-ball. These hairballs are
found most frequently IN the reticulum
or second stomach, although sometimes
In the rumen. In calves, hair-balls are
generally found in the fourth stomach.
There are no certain symptoms by
which we can determine the presence
Of hair-balls and therefore no treat
ment can be recommended for such
cases. The walls of the reticNlum have
In some cases been found transflXed
with nails or pieces Of wire, and yet
the animals during life had not shown
any symptoms of Indigestion, but had
died from maladies not involving the
second stomach.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

DESTROYING Weeda.

There are two ways Of completely
destroying weeds. One is to let them
have the opportunity to grow, and, by
frequently cultivating them, turn them
under as fast as they make their ap-
pearance; the other being to crowd
them out by growing some crop that
will not give the weeds chance to
grow. No system Of cultivation will
kill all the weeds If crop Is desired
such rs cOrn-for the grass and
weeds will only be kept down so long
as cultivation lasts, especially as corn
is usually laid by" at time when
the weeds are producing seeds, thus es-
tablishing themselves for the succeed
ing year AS test Of what supposed
clean culture of corn may be, simply
cut down a row of stalks and a row
Of weeds will remain. AS n single weed
produces thousands Of seed, the labor
OF destroying the weeds must be re-
peated next season.

der people are not more careful. COun-
try boys often think it smart" to
hitch up n green colt and drive to town

brave, but it Is really senseless. A
frightened young animal threw itself
on paved street of a town the first

PENNIES By THE MILLION.
Twenty-Five Tons of Them In Lon-
don Slot Gas Machines Weekly.

| TweMty-Hve Tons of Them in LOn-
don Slot Gas Machines Weekly.
An English penny is so nearly cents
Of our currency that the difference is
negligible. 1t Is given out that the
(which does a large business on the
south side of London, takes about 20
tons Of pennies from the slot machines
every week. These slot machines, are
used for the purpose of supplying gas
to the poorer classes who are compelled
to buy it In small quantities, penny
paying for about twenty eight cubic
feet The company has perhaps 2OO,-
600 of these slot machines In opera
ton.
1t becomes an interesting question
how much money Is represented by 20
tons of pennies. An English penny
weighs approximately 146 grains. AS
la pound avoirdupois contains 1000
grains. the pennies run very near 10
IS to the pound. a long ton. or 2,240
pounds, would therefore make 1O1, go
pennies, and % tons would mean p
6SS0OO. These would be worth $53,-
$50, large sum, indeed, but hardly
so large as the great weight would lead
us to expect.
In q year, however, the slot machines
would mean payment for four billion
cubic feet of gas, which Is less than
one third Of the amount annually sold
by the company. At the same time it
shows an immense value for small
retail trade to the classes that are so
poor that they buy a penny's worth Of
gas at time. In this case slot ma
chine supplies real want, and while
The poor many pay more for gas in such
small quantities, they are at least en-
abled to purchase it in quantities with
lin their means.-Lousville Courier
Journal.

Profit in Small Fruft.

Ten acres Of small fruits will often
make a man more truly prosperous
than ten times as much land In wheat
or corn. He may not be worth as much
in actual capital invested, but he will
be getting a larger net income, and
doing 1t with less severe toll. The
small farm well TILED, whether it be
in fruits, dairy, vegetables. etc. is al
most always the most satisfactory. The
principal capital needed to start such
a farm is a level head and knowledge
of the business.

Pnsturing Clover.

Clover Is injured when cattle are
permitted on the field when the land
Is very wet. There is temptation TO
allow cows to use the clover fields
some, but any gain by so doing is al
ways at the expense of loss In some
other manner. Cattle do much harm
by tramping; for which reason not
even the pasture should he used until
the grass has made considerable growth.
Close grazing should never be allowed.
