For Practical Forestry.

A gift of two thousand acres of for
est land in Massachusetts to Harvard
University by number of Massachu-
sets citizens is one of the most accept
able gifts that great university could
receive at the present time. The nation
has adopted comprehensive forest
policy and most of the States have
enacted forestry laws. The American
people have awakened to the fact that
there is peril in the wholesale destruc-
ton of the forests that has been going
on unchecked, and statesmen keenly
realize the necessity for adopting the
regulations and methods that obtain in
European countries for the preserva-
ton and restoration of the forest
growth.
Forestry has assumed in this country
the Importance of science, and we
look to the universities to turn out
trained men to apply that science for
the benefit of the country. The forest
tract presented to Harvard will be
we'll adapted to practical training in
all branches of Forestry, and its treat
ment will make valuable object les
son for owners of woodland.

A Pennsylvania Pumpkin.

BIGLERvILLE, PENN, Nov. 5. One
of the largest pumpkins on record was
raised by Christopher Warren, a promi.
nent farmer residing in Buchanan val
ley. On Halloween it was placed on
exhibition at the town hall, and on
Thanksgiving day it will furnish pies
for the entire upper end of the valley
county.
This pumpkin is so large that double
mule team was used to bring it from
the field, and before it was placed in
the barn the floor had to be strength
ened with large ioists.
1t is the product of the latest ideas in
pumpkin raising. 1t was grown from
selected seed and the stalk instead of
being permitted to spread itself all over
the township, was kept short. All the
buds of the stalk were pinched off save
the largest, and the pumpkin was
grown under a glass case which was
kept at an even temperature.
The weight of this mammoth has not
been ascertained, since there are no
scales in the community large enough
to handle it.
