some FORGOTTEN Forestry.

The locust Is one Of the handsomest
trees that grow In America. 1t Is
tall and straight and In the spring 1t
has a beautiful blossom. Years ago II
was Judged Of such usefulness that
many groves Of lOcusts were set out
In Long Island, the wood later to be
used for posts and other things ex-
posed to the weather. Locust WOOD"
says the International Encyclopedia,
ais compact. hard, takes a good polish
and Is useful for all purposes In
which great strength and especially
toughness are required"
The encyclopedia does not mention
the use to which New York formerly
put the wood Of the locust as social
medicine. A piece Of locust about two
feet long and an inch thick was re.
duced to cylindrical form and neatly
smOOthed and vanished. In this
shane the locust wood. when admin
iStered deftly and with discrimina'
tIon by u policeman. was the quickest
surest and about the only practical
cure for brick throwing rioters.
We suggest to the authorities thai
the fascinating study Of this combinn
'ion Of forestry and medicine shOult
