Protecting African Birds.

The French have decided to take
steps to preserve and increase the
birds whose plumage has long been
great source of commerce In the re-
gion of the upper Niger. a little
south of the desert of Sahara.
This part of the western Soudan
is included in the French province
of the upper Senegal and Niger. 1t
is the region that for many genera
tions sent by camel across the Sa-
hara to the European markets the
feathers of the ostrich and heron.
Today the steamboat and the rail-
road tap this region. though they do
not penetrate 1t. They have killed
the desert caravan trade, and os-
t;ich feathers and heron plumes now
take the steam route to the Atlantic.
But the quantity of these priced
commodities sent to the Niger for
shipment has been gradually de-
creasing, and the French decided to
look into the matter. The natives
kill the animals to get the feathers,
and 1t was feared that the birds were
being annihilated.

total gain of 20 years between 1880
and 1900. The increase in the last
seven years of $2,2S3, 100000 is a
gain of nearly so per cent in that
time. This gain in seven years is al
most equal to the total value OF the
farm products of the country in
1890. In the latter year the per
capita production of all engaged in
agriculture was $2S7, almost exact
ly the same as in 1880, while at the
present time the percapita of all en-
gagged in agriculture is about 5000
Under these remarkable conditions
we can readily understand the won
derful change which has taken place
in the financial condition of the
farmers of the entire country.
Burdened as the west was 10 years
ago with farm mortgages and as the
south was until to 1902 or 1908,
both sections are now to very large
extent free from such indebtedness,
the aggregate OF farm loans probably
being smaller than at any time since
1866. The prosperity of the farmers
is seen not only in the paying off OF
hundreds of millions of farm mort
cages and In the building of better
homes, but also in the heavy deposits
in the country banks throughout the
west and south. Every banker In all
the agricultural regions Of the coun-
try has been impressed during the
past few years with the great In
crease in the deposits OF farmers,
and In many portions OF the south a
large proportion of the deposits In
country banks are made up of sur
plus accumulations OF the agricul-
tural classes. With such fundamen-
tally sound conditions 1t is scarcely
possible, however unwise may be the
anti-corporation legislation of the
day, for the country to again sink
into the depths of panicky times
such as we have had in the past. SO
far as the south is concerned. 1t is
quite safe to count that this section
will receive for its cotton and cot
tonseed an aggregate of $sOO,OO0,-
900. The worlds demand for cot
ton has been growing at such rapid
pace that we are not likely to see low
prices for long time to come, If ever
again; and whether this years crop
fulfills the estimate of the bulls or
the bears. the price will doubtless be
so regulated by market conditions
as to give the great total of $780,

Feasibility of a Parcels Post.

The minute Postmaster General
Meyer had expressed himself as serl-
ously considering the feasibility Of
adding n parcels post to the post
Office service with a limit of ten
pounds weight on packages carried
there was a rush of arguments from
certain quarters to show why such
service would be impractlcable In
the United States. although every
other country could use Il.
The central assertion on which the
arguments depended was that dis
tances were too great in the United
States. Il was claimed that with
uniform postage rate depending
on weight alone the government,
would lose all the profitable short
distance matter and be compelled to
carry all tho long-dlstance matter at
loss. which the critics did not hesl-
tate TO estimate. In advance OF any
information as to the exact plan OF
the department, at Il minimum on
$3.50, 900 200 year.
IL may or may not be the case that
a thorough parcels post system
would havo to modify to some ex-
tent the method so successfully en-
ployed in European countries. But
here are some facts as to what tho
government finds itself ableto do to-
day in the way of giving parcels SER
vice to and from foreign countries,
which bear on the problem.
Packages may now be sent to mos
OF the South and Central American
countries. to Germany. Great Britain.
Norway. Sweden, Denmark and Bel
elum, and TO Australia, New Zea-
land, Japan. Corea and many Chi
nese cities at the rate OF 12 cents a

The source of most of the supply
OF feathers is the vest area south bf
the great northern bend of the Niger,
which, up to this time, has been one
OF the large unexplored regions. 1t
Is still big white space on our maps
Dut 1t will be so no longer as soon
as DR.. j. Decorse prepares his map
material for publication. He was
sent there to study the bird question.
and has traversed the region in all
directions. II is another instance
OF the spread of geographical knowl-
edge through commercial effort.
DR.. Decorse was sent there by the
governor of the upper Senegal and
Niger in October, 1905, and he has
only recently emerged from it. He
found there the Tuaregs and other
Mohammedan natives who in days
gone by would have killed any white
man at sight, though they collected
feathers to adorn the costumes of the
women of the white race. But they
have been so cowed by the news of
French supremacy in all the sur
rounding regions that they offered
him no harm, though he and his
small party wandered through their
country for about a year and a half.
His mission has achieved results
of much economic Importance. He
says the natives are rapidly exter-
minating the birds that have so long
yielded them golden harvest. He
advises radical measures to prevent
their extinction and small French
posts through the country to enforce
the proposed regulations.
He suggests that the hunting of
the plumed heron be entirely inter-
dicted for two years and that to In
crease the supply reservations be
established within which the natives
shall never be permitted to hunt this
bird.
He found the wild ostrich Is still
very abundant, though the numbers
have been greatly reduced. He ad-
vises that the government establish
stations to the west of the Niger for
the domestication OF the animal, just
as has been done on large scale In
South Africa. The territories with
in the Niger bend are not yet sufii-
ciently organized for the starting OF
ostrich ranches, and the region he
recommends for the experiment Is
west OF the Niger. between Faguibine
on the north and Farlmake on the
south. His plans, presented to the
in great detail, are based
upon the idea that the ranches
should be kept In their natural state
as nearly as possible.
DR.. Decorse says that the wild
ostrich in the French possessions Is
sure to be exterrninated II IL con-
tinues to be killed to obtain its
plumage. Paris. the greatest of os-
trich feather markets. will have TO
depend on foreign sources OF supply
unless the bird is domesticated In
the French domain. He asks for
three years in which to give a fair
trial TO the project.
The government has decided to
supply funds for a thorough test of
he question whether the ostrich can
DO successfully domesticated In the
French Soudan. DR.. Decorse will
nave change of the work. The feath-
n trade of Paris. and especially the
;yndica des 'Plumassiers, Is following
he enterprise with the greatest In

Abounding Prosperity for the
American Farmer.

In this weeks issue the Manufac-
mrers Record Of Baltimore, Md,
says;
Notwithstanding the fears in the
early summer that the long cold
,prlng would bring disaster to the
crops, Il is now assured that once
more nature will bless this country
with abundant harvests. IL is true
that the phenomenal yield of corn
and wheat last year may not be quite
eQualed, but II is also true that the
output will exceed the average of re-
cent years, and at the same time the
Increase In the value of farm prod
ucts Is likely to far more than offset
The decline In the aggregate yield.
There may be a decrease in wheat OF
possibly II, 100000 bushels, but with
The price more than 20 cents
lushel above the corresponding time

urase Of $4,000, 900 to 100000
