the sluggish son of the tropics it is
almost impossible. Not that he can
not cut the trees, although this is
slow process where the huge trunks
throw out buttresses FIVE to ten feet
In radius, but that having cut them
he cannot dispose of them. The
primary reason for the existence of
the genuine tropical forest is that
rains falls abundantly at practically
all seasons. There may be, and
usually is, a short dry season, when
the sun is farthest from the zenith.
Nevertheless, even at this time the
drouth is not absolute. When the
trees are felled the only way of get
ting rid of them is by burning. I'm
der the ardent tropical sun most trees
will become dry enough to burn in
two or three weeks, provided they do
not become wet again in the mean
time If rain falls, however, the
trees, OF course, dry much more slow
ly. If they do not become ready to
burn during the dry season, ii is use
less to think of such thing later
They will rot away, to be sure, and
disappear within a few seasons, but
this is of little use, for meanwhile a
new growth has quickly sprouted. In
the tropical rain forest bushes will
grow to a height of ten or twenty
feet in single year. Indeed, in the
short space of two months so much
heritage will spring up that a piece
of forest which has been cut cannot
be burned. even though the trees
have become dry.
This is no theory. but actual fact.
In the spring of 1918, in a part OF
Guatemala where the forest is by
no means of the densest kind, and
where considerable number of coffee
plantations exist. saw this happen.
The trees had been cut. but 50 many
showers fell during the nominal dry
season that the branches did not be-
come dry enough to burn, and conse-
quently many people were unable to
plant crops.

His Christening turned me back.

Beyond the Fathers sight.

And so the west winds play;
And all the windows of my heart

HOW TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA
Safe Method 10 to Give Pigs Serum
Alone at About Three Weeks to
Get by WEAVING Time.

Pigs from immune sows are not al
ways immune to cholera. Some filters
may be narrowed in infected pens and
go past weaving time without becom-
ing infected, while others get cholera
within two or three weeks after far.
rowing A safe method Is to give these
pigs serum alone at about three weeks,
which will usually carry them we'll
past weaving time, when they can be
given the simultaneous treatment.
There are some herds where the pigs
seem to be very susceptible to cholera
In this 1t will be necessary to give Sc
rum alone more than once In order
to carry them several weeks past
weaving. Pigs given the simultane-
Gus method soon after weaving some
times lose this protection within
few months. To acquire a longtime
immunity, pigs should weigh at least
so or 60 pounds at the time of re-
ceiving simultaneous treatment At
this weight the immunity usually last
through the ordinary lifetime Of the
hog. although In some instances hogs
that have been proved positively i'm
mune at rs pounds have later de-
veloped cholera.
