Government Studying Conditions in Yellow Pine Forests of South- west.

Albuquerque, N. N.' May - A study of conditions in the vel low pine forests of the South west, made during the past sea son by the United States Forest Service at the recently establish ed CoconinO Forest Experiment Station, has brought out very strlkingly che difficulty of secur- ing natural reproduction in this type of forest.
 In northern Arizona, perhaps at least half of the forest is with. out young growth of any kind and old cuttings are frequently barren wastes. The most i'm portant factors in bringing this about are the climate, fire, methods of cutting, disposal Ot brush. and grazing; in most cases two or more of these factors work together in preventing re production.
 Climatic condition, even wher they do not injurious!y affect the older trees, are apt to be especial lv unfavOrable for the establish ment of q good crop of seedlings and curiously enough, in a re zion noted for it's heat and aridi tv, frost IS one of the most seri 0uS enemies of the young growth The rainfall IS very unevenlv dis tributed throughout the year and while in most of the yellow pine region it probably average: about twenty inches, this comes mainly in midsummer and win ter
 Spring IS the most arid season of the year, and it is almost i'm possible for seedlings to get started then. The result is that q majority of the eedsgerminate during August, and not having time to fully complete the sea sons growth, are killed by early fall frOstS. Foresters who had previously investigated this prob. lem had realized i'll a general way the importance of frost, but ii was not until actualexperiments by means of sample plots were made that this point was def. nitely settled.
 Owing to extremely trying climatic conditions, some pro. lection to the young seedlings for the first year or two Is neces. sarv. Consequently light cut.

always perfectly safe if you know
how to handle him.
"Slnw and sure is my motto when
among my skunks. If see a skunk
in my flock that l want to kill l walk
in and pick it up, just as l would a
hen, by the tail, shift it from one in
closure to another, put it in box
to be sent away or rap it over the
head with club to kill 1T for its fur
and oil, and so long as | keep the
animal suspended by its tail there is
no danger. So far as risk is coneIn
ed there is far more danger in hav
ing a swarm of Italian bees than
there is in transferring q thousand
skunks by hand. They are the gent
lest and sweetest little pets that walk.
zone summer about eight years
ago we had some real sport with the
sister to my mothers wife, who came
down to the skunk farm from New
York to pass her vacation. We ar
gued and pleaded with that girl for
more than a week before she would so
much as go inside the wire netting.
She is now travelling with show in
Mexico In charge Of cage of train ed
skunks and receiving $50 week and
expenses for giving two performances
a day. She writes me she is draw ing
a bigger crowd than any bull fight in
the country.
"rhere is a good, easy living, with
a few dollars to the good every year,
in keeping skunks as commercial
venture. The pelts are much lower
now than they were ten years ago,
when skunk muFs we're in fashion,
hut good, solid black skin with
only a few white hairs in the tail is
worth 81 at any time. Others with
more in them sell at from Sl.5 to 50,
according to how close they are to
the standard. From four to six
young skunks are produced every
year, which commercially speaking,
means $40 two years later. Strictly
pure skunk oil, bearing my seal and
label, is worth 81 pint, or about 81
for every animal killed.
"As for the cost of feed and care,
That can never amount to more than
81 a year for any animal And when
man can receive cash return Of
s22 for every 81 he invests in skunks
the question becomes a very simple
one to figure ont, the profits depend =
ing upon how many skunks he
keeps" p"

l ROFITS MADE
in SKUNK FARM.

The most productive il not the
largest skunk farm In Maine is on
the old Tom Cummings place, two
miles from the ancient British earth
works at Fork Point. which we're put
up to repeI the French and Indian
dedicated about two weeks before
Gen. Wolfe scalded the Heights of
braham and captured Quebec.
There are less than 200 skunks in
the inclosure, but they are all nearly
pure black, and Arno Cummings,
their owner and manager. declares
that every animal is worth S25 to
him. Cummings inherited the farm
and skunkery from his brother
Howard, who spent more than ten
years in buying and selling skunk
skins, extracting oil from the animals
he had slaughtered and studying the
ways of skunks so far as they related
to the production of black fur and
oil.
"a man who knows the business
the way l do " said Arno Cummings,
'can make larger profit on his in
vestment and make it steadily every
year by raising skunks in Maine than
he can at any other calling. There
are more secrets in the skunks husi-
ness than there are in mixing fancy
drinks.
"There's feeding, for one thing
Nobody ever made anything at rear
ing skunks in confinement until my
brother and | learned how to prepare
food for the mother skunks while
they were rearing their young.
"Until We found out better way
every body believed because skunks
stole chickens and ate eggs before
they were cooked that skunks would
not live without flesh diet OF some
kind. We paid out hundreds of
dollars every year for tomcods caught

family table.

No Women School superintendents

Sacramento press dispatch of last
Monday will cause an uneasy feeling
among the women of the state who
hold the nice position of school
superintendents, and like their
ambitious brothers desire to succeed
themselves. The dispatch says
Unless something transpires to
change the complexion of the elec-
tion laws of the state, % out of the
81 county superintendent of school
in the state will not be able to
qualify for reelection.
The prohibition in the new law is
concealed in paragraph declaring
that candidate for office must file
with his nomination paper his atti-
davIt stating among other things that
he is a qualified elector in the eIec-
tion precinct in which be lives.
Woman is not a qualified elector,
therefore she cannot run for office.
This means, of course that not
only will the % women now holding
offices be unable to succeed them
selves, but that all other women with
ambitions for office are prohibited
from getting their names on the cleo
tioh ballots. In word, the Wright
law has turned this into a man-ruled
state as far as public office Is con
oerued.
