 The Red Cross ntontributed one thousand dollars and the remainder of the necessary expenses was made up by private contribution. chiefly from the force of the forest service and it's officials recommend that suitable legislation be adopted to en- able the secretary of agriculture to meet the moral obligations Of the government in this respect
 The specific fund for fighting fires was only about $135.O0O. but there existed discretion in the secretary in case of an emergency to apply other funds to this purpose and he did so to the extent of nearly sl .0OO. 0OO which will involve the progress Of 4 deficiency estimate for the fiscal cur rent year of over s900. .OOO.

 The amount of reforestration shown in the report of the forest service only about 15.000 acres. as compared with the 150.000.00O acres of national forests-seems small. and I am glad to note in this regard that the secre- tary of agriculture and the chief of the forest service are looking for ward to far greater activity in the use of available government land for this purpose
 Progress has been made in learning by experiment the best methods of reforesting.

COVERING OF NAVAL SUPPLY
 FUND INTO TREASURY.

l commend tO your attention the
 report Of the secretary on the change
 in the system of cost in navy yards.
 and also in the history of the naval
 supply fund and the present condi-
 tions existing in regard to tbat mat
 ter. Under previous practice and now
 what seems to have been an errOn-
 eous construction of the law. the sup
 ply fund Of the navy was iDcreased
 from 2S700, 900 to something over
 sl4.0OO. GOO. and a system of account
 ing was introduced which prevented
 the striking Of a proper balance and
 a knOwledg~ of the exact cost of
 maintaining the naval establishment.
 The system has now been abandon ed and a naval supply account estab-
 lished by law July l. 1910 The naval supply fund of $2.700.00O is now on deposit in the treasury to the credit of the department The secretary rec Ommends that the naval supply ac- count be made permanent by law and that the $2.700.000 of the naval sup ply fund be covered into the treasury as unnecessary. and I ask for legisla- tive authority tO do this. This sum-
 when covered into the treasury. will really be a reduction in recorded naval  cost for the year. The estimates of the navy department are & GOO, 900 less than the appropriations for the purpose last year and included in this is the building program of the same as that submitted for your last year It is merely out the plan of building two a year with d few needed 1 auxiliary vessels. l earnestly hope that this program will be adopted

THE CENSUS BUREAU.

The motive that prompts men with false civic pride tO in duce the padding of census returns In order to increase the population of a particular city has been strong enough to lead tO fraud in respect to a few cities in this country. and I have directed the attorney general to proceed with all the vigOr possible against those who are responsible for these frauds. They have been dis covered and they will not interfere with the accuracy of the census. but it is of the highest importance that official inquiry of this sort should not be embarrassed by fraudulent con-

This change was q SUbstan- tial compliance with the recommen- dation Of the commission on naval reorganization. headed by Justice Moody. and submitted to President Roosevelt on February 26, 1909. Through the advice of this committee of line officers the secretary is able to bring about proper coordination of all the branches of the navy de- partment with greater military eff ciency. The secretary of the navy recommends that this new organiza- ton be recognized by legislation and thus be made permanent l concur in the recommendation.
 The secretary. in view of the con clusions Of d recent court of inquiry on certain phases of marine corps administration. recommends that the major general cOmmandant or the marine corps be appointed for four year term, and that officers of the adjutant general and inspectOr's department be detailed from the line. He also asks for legislation to Inn prove the conditions now existing in the personnel of officers of the navy. particularly with regard to the age and experience of flag officers and captains, and points out that it is essential to the highest efficiency of the navy that the age of our off cers be reduced and that flag officers particularly should gain proper eX- perience as flag officers, in orGer to enable them to properly command fleets. i concur in the secretary's

Wise Men of Gotham.

A wise man of Gotham" is fool,
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom of the people that lived in the
English town of Gotham. The story
goes that King John of England once
visited the town with the intention Of
seeing a castle that he thought of TAX
ing for himself But the Gothamites
did not care for the nearness of roy
atty and the expense they would be
put to if the king should have house
there. and so they cooked up scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company of followers
and rode through the town he saw all
the inhabitants of Gotham going
through the most foolish of tasks, each
person with silly smile on his face.
The king was disguised with them.
He would not live among crazy people.
and so be rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the wise men of Gotham, still smiling.
but not in silly fashion. told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain

Three Curious Bells.

It is said that long. long time ago a
traveller was passing through Messing

on a stile in the churchyard and say

to church. Brown and so on. Being
very much surprised. he asked what it
meant and was told that. having no
bells. they called folks to church in
this way. The traveller remarked that
it was a pity so fine church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men if they could make
three for the church. promising to pay
for them himself They undertook to
do this. They were respectively a

Not What He Seemed.

Lieutenant General J. NJ. Grierson

vers in which he took part. Only a
small body of troops were being ac-

were the rule-in other words. small
bodies of men represented whole divi-
sions. General Grierson with his staff
was riding along lane when he sud
denly came upon one Of the enemy s
pickets sitting calmly by the roadside.
Quickly the general rode up to him and
said:

Christians In Old Rome.

Religious persecution as such was

Christians were regarded as seditious,
In denying the divinity of the Gaze
sars and the Roman gods they were
guilty of high treason in Roman eyes
and were accordingly punished. But
their punishment had no religious sig

were prosecuted not because they were

of the authorities. they were disturb
ers of the peace and safety Of the

these good parents But here the law
of variation comes in again, causing
some of the offspring to be better and
some poorer than the parents. In this
case. however. the poorer animals will
be considerably better than the poor
ones of the preceding generation and
the good ones will be better than the
best of the previous year. Again the
poorer animals are discarded and the
better ones saved. In this way the
standard of excellence is improved
from year to year.

who has definite ideal in mind. He

much alike in all their characteristics.
Though they still tend to vary, these
variations are not so marked as for

mails results. This uniformity is due
in large part to the fact that each
parent has behind it long line of an

for the ordinary breeder to follow is
to let it alone.
The surest method of improving the
pure bred herd is by line breeding.
This. in its simplest form. is the use
of line of sires of similar type and

There are number of mistaken
ideas in regard TO breeding which are
more or less widely believed One of
the most common of these is the be-

particular sire on subsequent offspring
from another sire. A study of the
scientific side of breeding shows tina
this cannot be so. as it is impossible
for any particular male so to affect
the female that future offspring by an
other sire will be affected.

~ NE of the most important prin-
81 ciples of breeding is the law
that like produces like. This
means that. other things be-
ing equal. an animal will tend to pro-
duce offspring like itself. Coupled
with this is the law of variation.
which means the tendency of animals
to differ from each other and from
their parents. No two animals are

is so. since otherwise there could be

Like Produces Like.
Keeping these two laws in mind. the
chief means of improving live stock
must be by selection. The variation
in the young animals gives the basis
for this selection. The progeny Of
two parents will differ both ways
from the parents-that is. some will
be poorer and some better. In gen
eral, the number of poorer ones will
be about equal to the number of the
better ones. Thus in nature little
