A. Lepper, mail carrier, living at
$40 SintO avenue, has 20 hens that arr
doing their utmost to lower the present
high price of eggs. During the last Is
days in December the industrious hens
laid 1l3 eggs, and have started in to
break that record for January. The
first four days Of the year 1907 they laid
SO eggs, which have been sold for so
cents a dozen.
The hens are Rhode Island Reds, a
breed introduced from the east. Ler-
per says few hens like his would
lower the price so that hungry man
could have soft bailed eggs for break fast

PRESERVING The FORESTS.


Conserving Stream. by Means OF tn.
Forest Reserves.
The destruction Of our forests has
been going on at 80 great a rate as to
alarm the public mind and prepare the
people 10 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 b. 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 $1,000.
600 acres Of these lands have been set
apart in eighty-three 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 and are gen
orally upon land which is Of little value
for agricultural uses.
They are reserved for the use Of man
and not reserved from his use. The
ripened trees Will be cut az they may !
be needed There has been much local |
opposition to many Of these reserva- |
tons, but time and observation have
greatly changed the local sentiment.
The experimental sage has passed and !
they can therefore be accepted az an
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
md be used as sources OF propagation
and supply. At least portion Of these
ands should be so used The writer of
his article has for many years endeav-
'red TO secure legislation to this end
Wyoming has shown her sympathy with
be movement by declaring a perma-
lently closed season in that part Of the
