WILL GATHER TIMBER STATISTICS
Forest Service and Census Bureau to
Prepare 1906 Report-Last Years
Work a Success.

Schedules for the collection of stats
tics of forest products for 1907 have
been sent by the forest service to all
engaged in industries directly depend
ent upon the forests. The work is a
continuation of that done in 1906 by
the forest service in cooperation with
the National Lumber Manufacturers
association. 1t then received the uni
versal approval and support of users
of wood throughout the United States
The work was undertaken to meet the
urgent demand for accurate data upon
the annual drain upon our forest re.
sources. The results proved SO valu-
able that the information will be com.
piled annually, in accordance with the
plan outlines by the forest service a
year ago.
To add to the efficiency, accuracy
and promptness of compilation of the
data, the bureau of the census and the
forest service are this year co-operat.
ing in gathering the statistics. This
plan insures to the manufacturers the
announcement of results at the ear
Hest moment after all the reports
have been received.
Several new features will distinguish
the collection and publication of fig
ures for 1906, now under way. The
figures for the production Of lumber
were withheld last year until returns
had been received from every state.
This year the production of each state
will be announced as soon as the re-
turns are in. The failure of the manu-
facturers of a single state to furnish
the information promptly will there
fore delay the publication of results
for that state only. The total produc-
ton of the United States will be COM
plete.
The lines upon which inquiry will be
made are practically identical with
those of last year, covering lumber,
lath and shingles, pulpwood, railroad
ties, tan bark, veneer, wood distilla-
ton and cOoperage. A single addition
has been made in an inquiry as to the
consumption of telegraph and tele-
phone poles.
The service believes that the sta
tistics for 1906 will be more complete
and more promptly obtained than
those gathered last year. If so, their
practical value to wood producers will
be greatly increased. Success de-
ponds very largely upon the ready CO.
operation of the manufacturers
throughout the country.

The cattle greedily licked up the
sweet stuff and it appeared to give
an added glossiness to the hides and
improve their appearance in every
way.
In addition, he confined the herd to
the acre lot near the farm, not per
hitting the usual run of the pasture
This gave an opportunity to dress ur
the animals and get them in the finest
possible condition, externally as well
as internally.
Mr.. Funk also found it an advantage
to soak in water all of the corn fed
from Is to 20 hours before feeding
This softened the kernels and the
grain was more easily digested. This
was only resorted to when the corn
was dry and hard during the recent
summer.
While the cattle were given all OF
the corn and oats they could eat they
were not gorged and the feeder care
fully watched their diet, gaging their
rations by the weather.
On certain days the cattle were more
hungry than on others. Every day had
to be studied and the feeding govern

laundering the animals by overfeed

PARENTS NOT AWARE FOR MONTH

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Jan. 49,
That his favorite son, an 18-year-old
boy, is a married man and with his
wife, pretty school teacher, has been
living at the family home for month
without his suspecting more than ar
ordinary friendship existing between
the two, is the startling discovery OF
Lloyd Dimmick, a well-to-do ranchel
living five miles northwest of here in
the mountains.
The story revealed as pretty ro-
nance as could be dreamed OF. The
Dimmick ranch is large and the school
house is several miles over the noun
tains The snow is deep there in the
winter time and the Dimmick children
could not attend school, so it was nee
essary to employ private instructor.
Miss Cassie Wood, an accomplished
school teacher of Gilmore City, Iowa,
was employed. She is remarkably
pretty young woman and all the am
bilious young ranchers of the neigh
borhood were suitors, it is said, before
she had been there month. Roy
Dimmick, the biggest boy in the school
stalwart six-foot youngster, could
never before be induced to spend any
time in classroom, but with Miss
Woods as instructor it was entirely
different.
Roy became an enthusiastic search
err after knowledge and made up his
former lack of interest by taking a
special course during the long lonely
evenings by the light of blazing pine
logs in the old-fashioned fireplace.
Dimmick's father was encouraged and
believed that mis- son at last intended
to make something Of himself. He
contemplated sending. him next year to
the agricultural college. 1.-THE Virgin
ian," the novel which was read by the
young teacher to her pupil, is said to
nave inspired the young man with an
ambition to go and do likewise, as did

there also. When they returned home
they were man and wife, and, fearing
that Dimmick, ST., would make trou-

and told mis- son to set out on the NOR

wife home to receive the parental

travelling for Iowa as fast as the cars
can take him. Miss Cassie Wood is
twenty-five years old and Dimmick is
