FOREST RECEIPTS GAIN
Uncle Sans Reserves Now A.
most Paying Expenses.
Increase Due to More Active Timber
Business and Higher Fees Charged
for Grazing.

Receipts from Uncle Sans national
forests in the last fiscal year exceeded
those for 1916, the banner previous
year, by more than $6O0,OOO, and to-
tailed over S3,450OOO. The cost of op-
Grating the forests, about $4.OOO.OOO,
was virtually the same as in 1916.
The increase according to the for
estry officials, came chiefly from u
more active timber business and from
the higher fees charged for grazing, al
though practically every form of use of
the forests was greater than ever be-
fore and nearly every revenue-produc-
ing activity contributed to the gain.
The only exception was that of sales
OF turpentlning privileges, which fell
off nearly One-half. Since these sales
are made only on the Florida forest
the receipts from this source are rela-
lively small.
The timber business realized for the
government over $1,60O,000 and live
stock grazing over S1,500,OOO. Permits
for waterpower development brought
In over 100000 and other forms of
land occupancy, including leases of
land for summer homes, as much more.
In this item the gain was 2S per cent.
1t is pointed out by the forest serv-
Ice that many forms of use of the for
ests bring in no revenue. Settlers in
and near the forests are allowed much
fY1nh
use and are also allowed free grazing
up to ten head of milch or work ami
mails. AS public recreation grounds
the forests are open to all without
charge, while their almost inestimable
value for water conservation is main
tained solely at the cost Of the gov
ernment. Although their administra-
tion and protection as public utilities
necessitate large expenditures which
yield no money returns, the narrowing
gap between expenditures and re-
ceiptS holds out the prospect, those
In charge of the work feel, that the
revenues will in no great time exceed
the operating cost.
with the demand for timber mark
edly stimulated by war conditions, the
government foresterS anticipate u
further increase in the national for
est cut and the receipts for timber dur
ing the current year. On the other
hand, they point out that an increase
in business will necessarily call for
more work and increased costs. Con-
gress provided for this by increasing
the funds available this year for ma
tiOnal forest administration and pro-
lection by about $4,000.
OF the grazing receipts cattle fur
nished approximately 100000 and
sheep $57OO00. On account of the
food shortage faced by the livestock
industry throughout great part of
the West last spring, and because of
the needs of the nation for mot,
wool and hide production, the stock
were admitted early and up to the full
limit of the carrying capacity of the
ranges. AS a result of regulated graz
ing the capacity Of the ranges has
been growing greater for some
years, the forest service officials state,
and the increase in grazing receipts is
in part due to the fact that the herds
on the forests this summer are larger
than in any previous season.

To Clean Paint.

Direction for washing painted walls:
Common baking soda works miracles,
it has been found. Use two pals Of
tepid water wet cloth, sprinkle a little
of the soda on 1t and wash space that
can be easily reached. Rinse in clear
water and wipe dry. Be sure to wash
in one direction in order to avoid
streaks when dry. All grease and dirt
will disappear with very little rubbing
and you will be pleased with results.
Use the soda sparingly "a five-cent
package will be sufficient for the aver
age kitchen). In cleaning paint add
teaspoonful Of kerosene Oil to warm
water.

Money Not Main Object.

"All healthily minded people like
making money-ought to like it and
enjoy the sensation of winning it; but
the main object of their life is not
money. A good soldier, for instance,
mainly wishes to do his fighting we'll
He is glad of his pay-very properly
so, and justly grumbles when you keep
him ten years without it--still, his
main notion of life is to win battles
not to be paid for winning thena."--

The Goat.

According to some experiments made
by the New York experiment station,
the average cost of food per goat for
the year is about $11, and the goats
milk during the year of best produc-

is palatable, nutritious and easily di-
gested, very helpful in certain cases
Of poor nutrition, without odor when
drawn under proper conditions, and

losiS, which may be transferred to chill

Record OUTPUT Of Fisheries

The passing Of the 5,OOO,OOO,OOO
mark by the output of the fish-cultural
stations Of the United States Bureau
of Fisheries, which is the important
achievement of the fiscal year, 1917,
gives evidence of the increasing eff
cheney Of that branch of>Uncle Sans
service. Data at hand show that the
record for 1916, which was the best
up to that time and amounted to up
ward of 4,847,0cO,O00 fish and eggs, has
been surpassed by more than 100000
600, and that the 1917 product will ex-

United States Gets plvldlxl.

Prior to the European war little di-
vidivi was shipped to the United
States, practically all of it going to
Germany, where it was utilized by
the tanning and the dyeing industries.
Since the war the exports to Germany
have stopped entirely, and the exports
to the United States have increased
considerably, Uncle Sans commerce
reports show.

Insects the piercing organ consists of
