Switzerland recognized the benefits
of forest protection and development
600 years ago when the forest ordi-
nance of Bern was issued. The Sihl-
wald of Zurich, one of the most per
fectly managed and most profit able
forests tn the world, has been handled
under a working plan since 1880. The
little Alpine republic stfn reports prog
ress in forest work, and the American
consul writing from St. Gan says:
'The government of Switzerland has
so carefully regulated the timber out
put that It has never been permitted

to exceed the natural growth. The
thick growth of timber on the noun
tain sides, purposely allowed to be-
come dense, has perceptibly lessened
the danger and frequency of avalanch-
es and landslides, which in former
times were so frightfully destructive.
To control the spring floods in the
rivers and streams, massive dams,
fortified by thickly planted trees, have
been erected at exposed places. In
the extraordinary attention paid to its
timber lands, the government has
taken into account aiso the necessity

were taken and transplanted in the
various forests.
Swiss forests are classed as pro
tected' and 'non-protected.' The for
mer are those which are situated on
mountain slopes where the imminence
of washouts, steno and ice chutes,
landslides and avalanches calls for the
constant exercise of extraordinary care
and attention. The 'non-protected' are
those on comparatively level ground,
requiring only ordinary attention to
keep them in good condition. Because
of the character of the country. the
great majority of the forests are pro
tected.'
The law provides that the forest
area shall not be diminished and that
all forests shall be maintained in u
fairly dense condition. Even in pri-
vate forests close cutting or clearing
up is strictly forbidden, especially in
exposed places, without the consent of
the federal authorities, and then only
in small areas and when prompt refor-
estation is guaranteed. Trees for cut
ting are carefully selected by forestry
experts.
Through the forests there are ex-
cellent roads. made largely by the can
tonal authorities The year 1908 was
marked by such activity in road con-
struction that the state, which bears a
proportion of the expense, paid to the
cantons the sum of $46,634 on their
account alone.
Spruce is the most important tree
in the Swiss forests, and then in order
Of their Importance come the white
fir, beech, Iarch, pine, cypress, and a
few other varieties.
The principal revenue derived from
the Swiss forests is from the lumber
output, there being no manufactures
of resin, turpentine, and similar by
products. To Offset the cutting, there
were planted in 1908 23.O96, 225 trees,
of which 1901, $50 were confer and
5,064,635 deciduous, and no less than
seven tons of seed were sown.
Statistics of the receipts and ex-
penditures of all forestry work in the
country are not available, but a couple
of cases may be cited which show
gratifying returns. The total receipts
from the sale of wood in 1908 from
2,421 acres of state forests in the can
ton of st. Gall are given as $24,457 81
and the expenditures as S7,104.S1,
leaving clear profit of ST 1886. In
the forests of the town of Winterthur,
amounting to 1888 acres, the receipts
were $51,174.63 and the expenses $21,-
634.5O, leaving net profit of $29,-
540.13, OF an average profit of about
S10.42 per acre.
ct is not to be presumed that the
revenue from the entire Swiss forest
area can be Appropriated by taking
as a basis the earnings of the st. Gall
or Winterthur forests, which have
been for many years under most in
telligent and excellent management
but the universal opinion among for
estry officials is that the jealous care
with which the Swiss timber lands
have been guarded has vastly bene
flied both national and cantonal treas
uries from the financial point Of
view

During the past few days the whole

Very little form produce, such as corn

Your MEAT HICH?'
Butchers Say Irregular Deliv-
cries of Orders Is Re-
sponsible.
MORE HELP IS REQUIRED
Expense OF Special Messenger Is
Added to Price of Bill, There
fore the Rise.

A Chicago butcher has volunteered
an explanation In reply to the CRY that
retail butchers are raising the price of
meats, and local butchers state that
there is considerable truth IN the Chi
cagO mans explanation, and that the
same explanation might be made here
In accounting for the advance in the
price of meats which has taken place
of late.
The Chicago housewives, according
to the Chicago butcher, are too
'hnicky" about having their meat de-
livered on very short notice. They
are in the habit of waiting almost I'M
| til meal time and then ordering their
cuts or chops with instructions TO
have the boy bring it up at once"
The butcher canpot afford to offend
! the housewife By telling. that it is too
expensive to Keep a special delivery
boy and the result is one has to be
hired and kept on hand just to fill
these rush orders. This adds con-
siderable item to the cost of running
the establishment and the only way
to get it back is to advance the price
of meats. When this advance is I'M
accompanied by an advance in the
wholesale prices of the same meats,
the housewives raise another kick and
say the butchers are robbers.
Same Conditions Here.
There is considerable truth in the
Chicago mans statement" said a Rock
Island meat market proprietor. ''The
cost of running an establishment is
bound to figure in the price Of the
goods sold. If the cost is heavy, the
sales must add up enough to more than
cover it, or the proprietor is running
at loss. Very few Of them can af-
ford to do this, and the result is the
prices must be advanced. If the house
wives would order their meat long
enough in advance to enable a regular
delivery boy to take care of it, there
would be no need Of special delivery
boy, and this expense would not have
to be added to the price Of the meat"
