BY direction OF Secretary Wilson, the
weather bureau and the forest service
are making an exhaustive study of the
entire question of forest effects upon
climate and stream flow. The expert
ment station at Wagon Wheel Gar,
Colo, established for the purpose Of this
investigation, is now on a firm basis
and a complete series Of observations
has been made during the last eight
months. Cooperative meteorological sta
tons are also maintained In the CD-
conino national forest in Colorado. data
from which will be available for study
and comparison in connection with thin
records at Wagon Wheel Gap. However,
1t should be understood that results OBI
tanned in this semi-arid region woultI
be without value as a criterion fer d's'
termining problems In connection w1h
runoff that obtain in the humid regions
of the east. It is hoped that in course
of time an experimental area may bs
secured and the necessary plant install
ed in both the Allegheny and White
Mountains regions.

CROSSING BuFrALoEs wIrE CAT
TILE.

Several years ago when the country
woke up to the fact that the buffalo had
become practically extinct there was
much interest in the psan Of crossing
buffaloes with Galloway cattle. The
Galloway slightly resembles the buffalo
as they have thick, dark woody coats
are blocky and rather low on the
ground.
Many crosses between buffalo bulls
and domestic cattle have been made and
at one time it looked as though this
crossing might prove successful.
The cross-bred animals were harder
than the common cattle, could endure
more exposure and some breeders
thought would make a better use of
feed and take on fat more readily than
the common cattle. However that may
be, the cross-bred animals had less of
picturesque beauty than ae pure-bred
buffalo and very much less apparent
good meat than the true Angus cattle
with which they had been mixed.
And as time goes on there is less and
less call for hardy, drouth-resisting,
blizzard-proof, feedless cattle" So it is
not likely that we shall soon see a
bred of hybrid buffaloes established.

MT. PLEASANT. Tex, Dec. a. 1911.
Mrs w. H. FELTON,, Gainesville, Ga.
Dear Mrs. FELTON,: Your writing has
been of so much benefit to me for the last
IA or IL wears, thought it my duty to
LEI YOU know how highly appreciate
them. In fact, I've read your letters for
a good many years and 1t seems that ev-
cry one gets better. While / don't know
you personally, your writings impressed
me. 60 I have one little girl named after
you. We call her Little FELTON, she is
going on her 9Th year.
Mrs. FELTON,. was born 20 miles west
of Macon in Monroe county. While have
been in Texas IA years, been married nine
years to a Texas girl, still there is a
warm place in my heart for good old
Georgia.
I have been a subscriber for The Semi
Weekly Journal nearly ever since have
been in this state, and 1t seems like 1
could not do without it, especially your
writings. I'm 80 years old this Decem-
her % have been and lived both in Texas
and Georgia, would not advise any
young man that is doing very we'll in
good old Georgia to leave those old red
hills to go anywhere, for 1t can't be
beat
While I've made money out here and
others can do the same thing, but they
always will have desire to go back
home"
Mrs. FELTON,, am sending you a short
sketch of the life and death Of F. II.
Gordon, an old friend of mine, who claim
ed to have known you while your hus-
band served Georgia as congressman in
Washington. I've heard him speak of
you and your husband many times. While
some people thought there was mystery
somewhere or somehow, so will see If
you can tell anything about him. He
seemed to be a polished old man and OF
more age than what he was. He died
without anything; the county had to
bury him; the old man would come to
my home and stay all day and talk of
old times and speak of you and your
husband often.
If you knew anything Of him, would
like very much to hear from you on
his early life and of course If he was
bogus want to know it. So won't weary
you so much if you see fit to publish
this you can do so. Hoping you may live
many more years in your useful work.
/ am your sincere friends,

City COurt...FuIler Judge

James Harrington alias James Killi- gon plead guilty to being found drunk and trespassing on railroad property, at an afternoon session of the court Saturday. He promised to get out of town and was given the opportunity.
 The man was found in a box car filled with merchandise at the freight depot early Saturday morning, and re- fused to get out. Station agent Bald win went to the scene and found that the man had climbed to the top of the car. He refused to come down so the agent started up after him. Harring- ton ran for the end of the car and fell down between the bumpers, striking his head against wheel and his back across the rail. Those who saw him fall thought it would be a case for the ambulance or undertaken, but the man seemed to be unhurt. He was turned over to CaptainMurray and locked up. His crying jag was only partially slept off and when he was arraigned in court he would freq uently burst into tears. He said he had wife and three children in Boston, and had been out of a job, so came this way and had worked six days for man Tn Elliott. He begged and cried to ibe allowed to go, and said he would walk all the way to Boston. He was given some- thing to eat and the agent was kind enough to make arrangements so he did not have to walk home.
 Thomas Butler of Fall River, now working in local cotton mill, was be- fore the court Wednesday morning for getting drunk. He shed few tears and begged 10 be given chance. He was fined $2, and execution of sentence suspended for two weeks.
