 Cambridge, Mass, May 21.-The an nouncement was made to-day that 1t had been decided not to send the liar yard second crew to compete in the American Henley regatta at Philadel- phia on May 25. Captain Bacon will assign no reason for cancelling the trip of the second crew, but 1t is generally considered that the call upon the sec ond crew for men to complete the var sity eight has so broken up the second crew as to make it impracticable to enter the regatta. The freshman crew, however, will compete.

A VALUABLE BOOKLET.

''The Use of the National Forests" is
the title of little booklet issued late
ly by the forest service of the depart
ment of agriculture and containing con-
else, readable and valuable informa-
ton for the general public as to the
forest policy of the federal govern
ment. The various subjects are taken
up In q simple and clear manner, aim
ing to give the largest amount of In
formation in the smallest possible
space. The purpose Of the publication
Is to explain what the national forests
mean, what they are for and how they
are to be used for the benefit of the
home seeker, the prospector and miner.
Any who are interested in the preser-
walton of the national forests OF in for
estry In general can secure copy or
the book by applying to the congress
man from his district. The officials
in charge Of the forest service desire
to have the information which the
book contains given as wide dissemIna-

FOREST PROTECTION.

A big lumber tract in the McCloud
river valley in California has been
given effective protection from dam
age by forest fires in a cooperative ex-
pertinent carried on In connection with
the forest service Of the department
Of agriculture at an annual cost of
just 2 cents per acre. The proven
tive measures adopted consisted of
cutting protective timber-free strips
through the forests, the maintenance
Of q corps Of patrols and a telephone
service and the purchase of such
equipment as was needed In the fight
ing Of fires. The measures adopted
proved SO successful and were carried
out with so small an expense that in
all probab ility they will be adopted
more largely by the government in pro-
tecting the national forest reserves
and by lurge lumher companies In pro.
&cting their timbered tracts.

DON'T LIKE TO MILK.

1t matters not how large a cream
check one may hold up before some
farmers as an incentive to get them to
embark in the dairy business. they
seem to have q constitutional dislike
for milking cows and will have none
Of it In theirs. For such the beef
breeds and doddies especially offer n
way out for they are supposed to
have fulfilled their tactical mission
when their calves have been weaned.
Properly managed there is good money
in the raising of the strictly beef
breeds, but hardly for the man whose
real opposition to the dairy is that 1t
means hard work. Many others like
the work connected with the dairy.
one such of. our acquaintance stating
that he would rather milk cows than
eat-unless very hungry. For such the
dairy makes an ideal farm occupation
and most profitable one as well.

ENVIRONMENT TOO.

While the presence and development
of tuberculosis in thoroughbred herds
of dairy and beef cattle over the coun-
try may be due to weakened physical
vitality Incident to the evils of inbreed-
ing and In SO far the direct result of a
disease in many a scrub herd is be-
yond question due in as great meas
ure to an insanitary environment. This
point was brought out in emphatic
manner in an address delivered recent
ly before the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association by the eminent bacteriolo-
gist. DR.. RUSSELL who gives the follow
ing description of conditions which he
ran across on one Wisconsin dairy
farm, which, while it may be extreme,
emphasizes point that should be kept
constantly in mind in view of the
alarming spread of tuberculosis among
the cattle of the country: "A man in
the, southern part of the state, having
herd of sevanty-two animals, was car
rying the milk of that herd to a Swiss
cheese factory. The conditions on his
farm. and particularly In his cow barn.
were simply beyond description. The
manure In the barn was a foot and
half thick. There was absolutely no
provision for ventilation. There were
five little windows about 1 by feet.
and four out of those five were board
ed up. 1t was impossible at noon to
read newspaper print in that barn, and
the stencil was so strong 1t was almost
impossible for a person to stand it for
more than moment. And still those
We're the conditions under which sew
enty-two of those COWS were crowded
into close quarters. where if the dis
ease organism was present there could
be no more ideal conditions for its de-
velopment. Here the tuberculin test
was applied. and sixty-nine out of sew
enty-two of those animals responded.
and 1t was absolutely impossible to
utilize the carcasses. Every one was
killed on the place and buried in a
ditch"

THE FIRST FROST.

One of the regrets the writer fe.t nj

stroyed the food supply of two hum
ming birds which made frequent visits

first frost one of these little fellows
came as the sun was rising. but found
his usual haunt very chilly place.
After getting what sweets he could
from several of the red flowers he lit
on blossom spike within two or three
feet Of the window, snuggled down
and tried to warm himself in the rays
Of the sun. During the day he must
have started on his southern pilgrim
age, for the next morning he failed to
appear.

According to a report recently made
public, officials Of the department OF the
interior do not seem to be worried by
the likelihood Of fuel famine In the
near future In this they assert that,
not including great areas of Ignite,
which will be mined only after more
valuable coal deposits have been ex-
hausted, the geological survey has de-
termined that there are townships In
western South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas, aggregating over 100000
acres, each township of which con-
tains workable deposits Of coal. Dur
ing the present year territory contain
ing more than 20,OOo,OO0 acres in which
workable coal exists have been exam
ined. In view Of the fact that these
areas are not only conveniently located
with reference to transportation, and
every acre is subject to purchase I'M
der the coal Land laws, q famine of any
severity would seem to be largely due
to mere failure to dig the fuel out of
tine ground.

Ia number of Instances we have
the past season noticed serious injury
done fine shade trees through the
starting Of bonfires so near to the
trees that the heat therefrom scorched
the lower limbs. 1t is well to remem-
Der that tender twigs and leaves are
even more susceptible to heat than the
human hand and face and that a de-
gree of heat which one cannot bear

result In damage to the tree near

With the prices of most all farm
products soaring skyward and likely to
continue In that direction every effort
possible should be made to save the
roughage Of the farm and especially
the enormous quantities Of corn fodder

TALLY or wholly In many sections. 1t
Is true of the farmer, the manufacture
er of soil fertility into finished prod
ucts, as of the manufacturer in other
lines, that he must look for quite por-
lion of his gains through a more eco
nomical disposition of the heretofore
largely waste byproducts Of his farm.

If piles of apples are left in the or

been selected and shipped and they
are in such shape that they cannot be
used for making vinegar, it Hs well to
scatter them and sprinkle air slaked
lime over them. This will tend to
overcome any acid tendency that they
might give to the soil, which If not
corrected would be injurious to the
trees.

INCREASING COPPER
CAPACITY AT BINGHAM
Monthly Output 20 Reach 100000
Pounds-Prospect of Big Mining
Contest Between Giant
Operators

News comes from Boston to the effect
that the United States Smelling and Re-
fining company is now preparing to have
a copper capacity of between 100000 and
1900, 900 pounds of copper per month, and
it will soon have smelter capacity about
so per cent. 1t is pointed out that when
the mammoth company gets it's con-
verters that company will produce 2, 800, ,OOC
pounds of copper per month and the
United States company's Bingham smell
ter will produce 3,500,00O pounds per
month.
Rumor has it that there might be a con-
test between F. Augustus Heinze and the
Guggenheims for the control of the Ohio
copper properties at Bingham, Utah. The
announcement lately of the incorporation
in Maine by Mr.. Heinze and his friends of
the Ohio Copper company, with a capital
of 100000 to take over the Old Ohio
Copper company, capitalized at $1,000 900,
is said to have been premature SO far as
the easy accomplishing of this plan is
concerned.
The Heinze people are now said to be
endeavoring to buy in the market the
majority of the old company's stock
necessary to carry through their plan,
and the Guggenheims who have been in
terested in the old company, are stated
to have put in opposition buying orders.
