According to one of the financial ex-
perts on the Wall Street Journal the
nominal value of a hen based on her
earning capacity is $50. Perhaps this
fact has been communicated to the la
dies of the barnyard and has imbued
them with so much pride in their
worth thar they think it beneath them
to labor any longer in their own pecu-
liar field. This may account for the
scarcity of eggs at the present time
and their high prices. But these re-
marks are a little beside the point. In
getting at the real value of a hen the
Wall Street journal discourses as fol-
lows:
From December. 1908. to December,
1909 farm price of eggs ranged from Is
to rs cents doze IL while price to con-
sumer ranged from 30 to 60 cents. There
will be produced this year no less than
1900, 100000 dozen eggs, which at 20 cents
will represent value to the farmers
of $500. 100000. a cost to the consumer
of $40. 900, 900.
met profit per hen a year is figured.
perhaps somewhat too high, at 81. so per
hen. This profit according to Wall
street standards, capitalized on a per
cent income basis. would place nomi-
nal value of $50 on each hen. For $780,
100000 hens this would amount to $4,-
500, O00, 900.
THAT the American hen can return
yield of s per cent per annum on.
capitalization of $4,000. 600. 600 appears
nothing short of remarkable. The out
standing capital obligations of the rail
roads in 1907 were less than four times
this amount or $16,oS2, 146,6SS while the
total in interest and dividends repre-
scented but 4.05 per cent of this amount
Much comment has been devoted 20
this editorial Some of it points out
that the prices which the farmers get
for their eggs and the prices for which
they are sold to consumers at certain
seasons of the year are much cheaper
than the minimunls used by the Wall
Street Journal as a basis for its figur
Ing. But no one doubts that the de-
ductions are relatively correct and that

PATROL OF FORESTS PAYS.

That the value of organized patrol
of cumberland in reducing to a mini
mum the losses from forest fires is
great is demonstrated in conclusive
fashion in a bulletin just issued by
the forest service bureau of the fed
eral department of agriculture. 1t
shows that the 233 fires during the
last fire season in the National Forests
in the district including Colorado,
Southern and Eastern Wyoming,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas,
were extinguished with loss to tim
Der of only $4,000.
Any one of these fires. if it had
burn itself out. which is usually the
case on tracts where there is no pa
troll, would have caused loss many
times the value of the timber burned.
Private cumberland owners, particu-
larly those in the far Northwest. as
well as Uncle Sam on the National
Forests. have alike proven this sea-
son that the patrol is the one sure
means of combating forest fires.
which foresters say are the worst me-
my of the forest. The estimated value
of timber within the National Forests
of the district is $90,000,000. The
loss from fire during the past season,
therefore, represents approximately
$1,000 of 1 per cent of the total value.
Railroads have been the worst Of
tenders in the setting of fires. SO out
OF the 233 being ascribed to them.
Thirty-four fires were set by campers
and % by lightning. Sawmills set s.,
and Is were caused by the spreading
of fires kindled for the purpose of
clearing land and burning brush. Only
4 are reported to have been of incen-
diary origin.
There are 23,35e.1S3 acres of Ma
tional Forest land within the district.
Within this vast territory there has
been but one fire during the year that
gained enough Roadway to become at
all serious. This was the fire In the

In the Popular Science Monthly for
January is an article by Professor ]. J.
Stevenson which ought to provide
some excellent food for thought among
the directors of the great majority Of
country and the public which supports
them, even though it is likely to be a
bit distastefui- A pointed excerpt
from it reads:
"Denunciation of commercialism
rings out in hoarseSt tones from many
a college rostram and one might sup
pose that In our haunts of learning
there is freedom from the coarse inf1u
ence of the market. Yet nowhere is
the sOcallsd commercial idea more
prevalent than in college management.
The only conce ption OF success seems
to be growth in wealth and in num-
Der of tudenLS-quantlty not quality.
A great increase in the freShma class
brings jubilation and d decrease leads
to gloomy seal Oh for cause of the de-
cay This evil has brought about the
present condition. Wandering glee
clubs and successful teams gain much
free advertising; the public reads the
sporting pages and becomes aware
that the college exists; boys in second
airy schools learn which college has
gained victories and they long to share
in the glory. 1t pays to have coaches
of high grade, we'll remunerated. But
a faculty of men, competent and will
ing to give rhe best of teaching, would
bring no advertising, would attract
lege would not become great during
the lifetime of one man; it is not worth
while to expend 1-4uch on that which
brings such small returns"

Black Hills, in South Dakota. which
occurred in October. and which was
responsible for about two-thirds of
the total loss in the district. Many of
the other fires would no doubt have
been serious If they had not been ex-
tinguished promptly. Considering the
large acreage patroled, and the
amount Of timber involved. the loss
was exceptionally low, and points out
clearly not only the value of the pa
troll of tinberland but its necessity
as well. Nothing is more important
in the movement for the conservation
of the timber resources of this coun-
try than to protect existing forests
from devastation by fire. Organized
patrol of all of them would appear
to be most desirable and congress
should not be slow in providing the
funds to make this work possible.
