This contractor got results.

Some years ago contractor build
ing a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the labofers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity Of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
. mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. 50
The cost was small; 10c for regular
ize packages; it is also packed in her
letically sealed tins for hot climates.

THE CRIME OF THE AGE 5RFEg7

Half q century hence, no more
wonderful view can be stuck into a
stereoscope than that of deadened
forest, such as you can see any day
within an hours drive of Hopkins.
vile. KY. Trees belted and killed
by the short sighted farmer, who
wanted the ground to cultivate and
was too lazy to cut down the trees.
There they stand with their rotting
branches held out toward heaven, as
if invoking the divine curse upon the
wasteful profiigacy of the short
sighted generation.
Even now, there are sections of
our own State where the honest till
er Of the soil burns off a woods lot
in the spring to insure a crop" of
grass for his drove of razor-backs,
at the cost Of thousands of dollars
worth of timber.
In France they have been planting
and cultivating poplar trees one
hundred years.
Less than one hundred miles from
where we now sit. there was a few
months ago, witnessed the strange
anomaly of a man pulling down a
worm fence, built of walnut rails
and driving his wagon through into
field to haul out walnut stumps.
Once in Bowling Green, KY, |
pulled down an old residence and
found the joists and rafters were of
black walnut, now worth $4,000 per
thousand feet. Near Clarksville,
Tenn, some pencil manufacturing
concern recently built a farmer a
barbed wire fence around his entire
farm in exchange for stretch of
worm fence, built of cedar rails.
Half the railroads in Florida burn
pine timber in their locomotives.
Two years ago, while travelling
through the yellow pine regions of
the South, | observed that as far as
the eye could reach. every pine tree
had been belted for turpentine. This
iniquitous practice should be prohib-
tied by law, for while it does not
Immediately kill the tree. it dwarfs
it, and the third repetition of it does
practically kill it, and they seldom
stop under the third tapping.
There are mountains of sawdust at
the mill-sites in the South, which by
a process Of of destructive distilla-
ton would make all the turpentine
the world could use (and distilled
wood turpentine has been tried and
found to be excellent), but the saw
dust is allowed to- rot or else is
burned. Here is a chance for Taft
and Ballinger to immortalize them
selves. If they'd stop turpentining,
it would be worth more to their own
country than peace to Russia and
Japan.

Now, for the liabilities. A care
ful estimate from the same high
authorities, places the average cut
OF timber for the next ten years, at
fifty billion feet per annum.
Now, when we consider that the
growth of standing timber is more
than counterbalanced by its natural
enemies-fre, wind and decay-by
the simple process of division. We
find that forty years will bring rs to
the end of our timber resources.
Ihls estimate IS reliable and conser-
vative, and was prepared at consid-
cradle cost. This timber is worth
ten times the amount Of the Gov.
ernment debt Of ten billions of dol
lars
Now, when a sick man is told that

THE CRIME OF THE AGE.

THE CRIME OF THE AGE.
There are three kinds Of craft.
Witchcraft, handicraft and wood
craft. The first woodcraft we have
any record of was built by a man
named Noah, in the city of Arkadel-
phia. The passenger list on that
boat, though not large, was varied,
you will recall, and there was deal
of complaining. Said long ears bra
zenly, to fellow passenger: You
need not be so blatant about 1t.
Take it like lamb, for we are all in
the same boat" This is the first
record, also, of any connection be-
tween woodcraft and the ass, but
this alliance has kept up ever since.
The ruthless and wanton despuc.
ton of timber is one of the most
important of all the grave issues of
the day. An issue so broad and so
deep as TO dwarf the meager limits
of ten minutes paper, prepared in
four or five hours, into utter made
c'.asy.
Civilization may be the hope of
mankind, but it is undoubtedly the
terror Of our forests. Our pilgrim
forefathers seemed to think they
had two natural enemies, Trees, and
the Indians that hid behind them.
They went after the one as relent-
lessly as the other, an AK in one
hand and rifle in the other. and
there's been little peace for either
to this day
Was there a kindred feeling in
their manly breasts, we wonder,
when they felled forest giant, and
arrested their axes upon it, to that
which they felt when they shot down
feathered brave or an antlered
buck? Both deeds proclaimed them
the lords of the land.
Our forests were wont to be the
admiration of the world. AS popula-
tion has thickened. the forests have
thinned. in an inverse ratio. until it
is now long cry, even from Ken
lucky, the Dark and Bloody ground,
to a real virgin forest.
OF course, even the legitimate de-
mand for lumber is drain on our
timber resources, that is appalling
in itself, for it is estimated that the
annual output of the saw mills of
the United States is valued at $12 so
per capita. something like forty bill
ion feet of lumber.
How long can our rapidly diminish
ing forest reserves withstand such
onslaughts as this? In the light of
these facts, wanton waste of timber
is criminal.

Inc natural enemies OF the forest
are many and potent. The lightning,
the cyclone, the forest fires, worms
and decay.
While in the South last March |
noticed great open spaces in the pine
forests. The trees all dead or dying
over acres and acres. | asked my
companion, a local sawmil man,
what it meant. His laconic reply
was worms"
A tree is felled by the AK or the
wind. The top lodges against an
other tree. Worms infect the for
mer and then the latter, which in
turn falls against another, and so on
ad intinitum. A dead forest is the
result. These reflections upon the
natural enemies of the forest, but
make more obligatory the cessation
Of criminal denundation of our for.
ests by man.
This is great country. While we
are clearing new grounds as we call
them. and wasting millions of feet
of timber annually, burning plant
beds and firing tobacco, that could
be better done another way, they
are planting trees in Oklahoma for
shade and timber, and digging
houses in the ground.
Additional instances. marked and
numerous, might be cited or criminal
encroachments upon our timber re
serves, but for lack of time and
space, / must desist and will pass on
to brief consideration of possible
remedies for these evils.
But first, let us strike a balance
of our resources and liabilities.
High authorities, the Lumber Jour
nails and the Census reports, togeth'
er, from their fruitful sources of in.
formation, estimate the standing
timber of the United States, at two
thousand billion or two trillion feet.
1t may interest some of us to know
how much of each wood goes to
make this total. Briefly, the pro-
portion is as follows:
