The Rewards of Forestry,


The professional forester cannot
hope for big fees and certain pleas
ant surroundings Of life which crown
distinguished success in many of the
other professions. The first prizes
which are bestowed upon the great
lawyer, the eminent physician, are
not yet open to him. He must be
content without much luxury. He will
have to spend a good deal of time out
Of reach of the ordinary comforts. He
must be able and willing to rough it
without complaint, to sleep on hard
beds, eat homely fare, endure pro-
longed exertion and get along well
with plain people. On the other hand.
If he is at all fitted for his profession
and few weeks of actual forest work
or good summer school work will tell
him whether he is or not-there is
open to him very rich reward-life In
the open, In the midst Of beautiful,
healthful and congenial surroundings.
creative work OF unmatched useful
ness In any material field, a place of
large responsibility and dignity and
with 1t all a fair living.
If the forester's temperament is sci
entific he viii have the joy of the dis
coverer and organizer Of knowledge
in rich and almost virgin field, while
If 1t be practical he will have the
chance of sharing in a national work
Of prime Importance TO our people.

at the time the trays are taken out to
be turned end to end, a precaution
necessary to equalize any effects due
to different temperatures in the vari
GUS parts of the machine. Cooling the
eggs. upon which many incubator
manufacturers lay considerable stress,
has never been proved to be of bene-
ct. A good thermometer Is essential
In running an incubator and Is best
laid face downward on top Of the
eggs. Thermometers hung In a fixed
position above the eggs frequently fail
to register the temperature Of the eggs
themselves.
The best location for an incubator Is
in the cellar. The more even In tenn
perature this cellar is kept the better.
The cellar should not be so damp as.
to warp the incubator, but, on the 9TH
er hand. should not be entirely dry.
IL there is a furnace In the cellar or It
is In any way heated open water
should be exposed In a warm place.
The ventilation Of the cellar is not as
important as is ordinarily imagined,
for chicks need very little oxygen.
The increased evaporation induced by
too much ventilation is a greater evil
than lack OF fresh air.

NEWBURY.
woman Rurned I'd Death.

Mrs. Loula Bailey Fetch, wife of A. D.
Felch of Newbury, met with a most
tragic death Thursday, April II, near
her home. While fighting grass fire her
clothing was enveloped and before the
flames could be extinguished she was
horribly burned on her body and
limbs, and she lived only four hours
after the accident. Mrs. Fetch and her
husband lived with the formers father,
E. F. Bailey, and Mr.. Bailey had been
burning some brush near his home. The
flames got into the grass and Mrs. Fetch
tried to help her father put them out.
Mr.. Bailey had gone down over a bank
and was unaware of the danger until
Mrs. Felch cried to him for help. When
he reached her her dress was all in flames
and it was impossible for him to put out
the fire until she had been terribly burn
ed. A physician was summoned and
everything possible was done to relieve
her suferings, but she was unable to
survive and died at $50 that evening.
The shock of the tragedy was most
severe upon the aged father, who is 70
years old and who depended great deal
upon his daughter.
Mrs. Felch was born In the house
where she died 40 years ago and had
lived there practically all her life. She
was married to Mr.. Felch only four years
ago. Besides the father there are three
brothers and two sisters, E. c. and R.
c. Bailey of Littleton, F. L. Bailey of
Lancaster, Mrs. e. H. Hallett of Lisbon
and Mrs. F. w. Streeter.
The funeral was held at the home Sat
urday and was largely attended by the
friends and relatives. The burial was
in the family lot in Newbury.

RTIFICIAL incubation has been
~ practiced in Egypt and by the
Chinese for several thousand
years, but has been developed
in this country only within the mem
DRY of the present generation.
Because Of the great extent to which
incubators have been advertised, the
large circulation of poultry books put
out by incubator manufacturers and the
favorable views of the poultry papers,
which get their chief support from in
cubator advertisements, the general
impression Is that artificial incubation
is a greater improvement over the nat
ural method Of Matching than Is in
reality the case.
Hens or Incubators.
One of the chief claims of the arti-
fetal incubation is that by this means
chicks can be produced at any season
Of the year, whereas hens brood only
In the spring and summer. This adj
vantage is not great, however, as most
inexperienced people believe, for chick
ems Matched in the winter are difficult
to rear, and because of the evening up
of prices due to cold storage, as re-
ferred to in a previous lesson, the use

gress appropriated $4,000 to buy addi-
tional live oak land on Santa Rosa
sound, western Florida, and subse-
Quently other Florida timberlandS, ag-
gregating 2OS,224 acres, were reserved.
Up to that time nothing more had
been done than to buy or reserve land
for the timber growing naturally upon
it, but the work was to be carried fur
Their upon the Santa Rosa purchase.
The plan included planting, protecting
from fire, cultivating and cutting live
oak for the navy. That timber was
then considered indispensable in build
ing war vessels. Much had been said
and written of the danger Of exhaus-
ton Of supply. Settlers destroyed the
timber to clear land, and European ma
lions were buying large quantities for
their navies. In response to repeated
warnings the government finally took
steps to grow timber for its own use.
Young oaks were planted on the San
ia Rosa lands. Difficulty was expert
enced in inducing young trees to grow.
The successful transplantfng Of the
oak is not easy unless done at the
proper IlLle anu III the right way. LIE
plantations at Santa Rosa were gen.
orally unsuccessful, but large quaint
ties Of acorns were planted. and a
fair proportion of them grew. But the
chief efforts were directed to pruning,
training and caring for the wild trees.
Thickets about them were cut away
to let in air and light.
What the ultimate success Of the
forestry work would have been cannot
be told. The civil war brought COM
plete change in war vessels by sub
shutting iron for wood. Forestry
work stopped. The timber reserves
were neglected. Squatters occupied
the land. After a number of years all
the reserves except some of the F'lori-
da land were opened to settlement.

BEGINNING OF
OUR FORESTRY.

~ YHEN did the United States
wv begin the practice of for
estry? Few persons can an
swer this question correctly.
Most people are of the opinion that the
beginning of forestry in this country
was of very recent origin and that the
first step In that direction was taken
among the mountains Of the far west.
Neither fact is correct.
While Washington was serving his
first term as president of the United
States a recommendation came to him
that the government ought to buy live
oak islands on the coast Of Georgia to
make sure Of a supply of ship timber
for war vessels. The idea appears to
have originated with Joshua Hum
phreys, whose official title was ''con-
structor of the United States navy"
although about the only navy then ex-
isting was made up of six ships on pa
per, and not one stick of timber to
build them had yet been cut. The YES
sells were designed to fight the north
African pirates.
Five years after the recommendation
was made congress appropriated mon
ey to buy live oak land. Grover and
Blackboard islands, on the coast of
Georgia, were bought for $4,000. They
contained 1850 acres.
Louisiana was bought soon after,
and in 1917 the six islands, of 10000
acres and containing $1,000 live oak
trees, were withdrawn from sale and
set apart as a reserve. In 1925 con-

TELEPHONES IN
NATIONAL FOREST

i" HE telephone in the national
forest is not only of the great
est assistance in the manage
ment of the forest, but its
value is inestimable when used to re-
port or summon help for a fire. In
a single case of forest fire it may be
worth the entire cost of its construc-
ton. No other work Of improving the
forests has been more acceptable to
the residents in their vicinity.
In the summer of 1905 Secretary
Wilson and United States Forester
Clifford Pinchot, after going over large
areas of little developed and almost
unexplored national forest land, decid
ed that systems of telephones, with
proper connections, would be invalu-
able in the forests of the west.
It was not until some time later,
however, when congress made a spe-
cif1c appropriation for the improve
ment of the national forests, that
funds were available for this purpose.
In 1908 5000 miles of telephone lines
were constructed in the 148 national
forests in the west, and wire to build
about 400 miles of additional line was
shipped to the various forests, but
with the funds on hand the work of
construction could not be completed.
A town In southern Utah with about
1000 inhabitants was isolated four
days ride from the nearest railroad
station until a telephone line was built
by the forest service across the noun
famous country for forty miles, thus

WE'LL FORMED EGGS SELECTED POR
HATCHING.
of incubators for Matching winter
chicks is not particularly profitable.
The second important advantage
claimed for incubators is. that Of saw
ing labor, or, in other words, they en-
able one person to hatch a much larger
number Of chicks than would be pos
Sible with the use Of hens. This claim
is worthy Of consideration. It is, in
fact, the chief reason why incubators
have gained their present standing.
AS to the percentage of Matching
and the vitality of the chicks, the aver
age incubator, especially In the hands
Of the novice. will hardly equal the
natural methods. The writer made an
extensive study of the results obtained
with incubators by Kansas farmers.
The results showed that about as many
farmers failed with incubators as sue
ceeded with them.
The percentage Of eggs that hatch
either in incubators or with hens is
commonly overestlmated. The extraor-
binary matches at poultry shows are
usually arranged by setting two incu-
bators and testing out the live eggs
Just before Matching and putting them
in the one machine. A 60 per cent
hatch of all eggs set for the season is
good enough. Many very large and
successful poultry farms have lower
averages. The advisability Of purchas-
ing an incubator will depend upon many
circumstances. All those who breed
Leghorns will require incubators. With
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes or
Rhode Island Reds / should favor
Matching with hens until the poultry
work grows to such size that this be-
comes impractical
Eggs For Matching.
There are many superstitious no.
tons prevalent regarding the relation
Of the shape Of an egg to its vitality
and the sex Of the forthcoming chick

fact. Eggs having weak shells that
might become broken in the nest or
unusually small eggs should be dis
carded. If there are more eggs availa-

appearance. The eggs for Matching
should be stored In cool, dry location
and shifted or rolled about occasion
ally.
Eggs exposed to freezing tempera-
ture II not actually frozen may still
retain their vitality, but it is generally
considered best to keep them at tenn
perature between 40 and 20 degrees.
If kept too warm eggs dry out rapid
ly and will not hold their vitality. A
good rule is not to set>eggs over two
weeks old. The idea that Earring, as
by thunder. will injure the Matching
OF eggs is without foundation; like
wise the advice to let eggs rest after
shipping has been proved to be ground
less.
Accommodations For Sitting Hens.
The convenience of the arrangement
for sitting hens has great deal to do
with the success of the Matching. By
all means I should advise that place
be provided for the sitting hens away
from the general poultry house. This
may be In separate room or building,
where tiers of boxes are used for the
nests and feed, water and dust wal

boxes are open on the top, not on the
side, and a board is laid loosely across
