SHEEP OR WILD DOGS?

(From the New York Tribune)
 Mrs. August Belmont's abandon 1slent of sheep-raising is noteworthy but not singular. Thousands of per sons in the Eastern and Middle states have had experience similar to hers. They have engaged in sheep-raising, only to have their flocks decimated or worse by lawless dogs.
 Mrs. Belmont, rightly conceiving g that Massachusetts and other New Finland states are well adapted to sheep-raising, sought to promote the industry through the importation and culture of some of the fine thorough bred stock. But +7hen dozens of her sheep were killed by wild" dogs and the courts awarded her trifling in demnity she gave it up in despair.
 Dogs which are properly trained and kept within bounds seldom do sheep harm To develop sheep it is banish mans best animal friend. It would be sufficient to do away with merely the hungry, lawless tramp dogs, whose owners permit them to be a nuisance to the community. It should be as much an offense to starve a dog as a horse

ORIGIN OF EPEIyRIFTED
 FOREST
WARREN AND CHARLES

The "Petrified Forest of Arizona, really a series of petrified forests. lies short distance south of Adamana,
 cn the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four forests included in Government reservation called
 ''Petrified Forest National Monu- ment," created by Presidential proc Iaraation in 1906. The name 'forest' is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age
 of reptiles, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior The trees were of several kinds. but most of them were related to the NorfSlk Island pine
 now used for indoor decoration.
 Doubtless they grew in a nearby
 region and, after falling, drifted down watercourse and lodged in some eddy or sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, fin ally to a depth of several thousand feet Their conversion to stone was effected by gradual replacement of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, deposited by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has given the brilliant and beau tiful brown, yellow, and red tints which appear in much of the mater iaL The sand and clay in which
 these trees were buried were after
 wards washed away. Some of the and more than 100 feet in length. In the first forest there is a fine trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overIying clay and sand and then, following a crev- ice, worked out the channel under neath The length of this log is no feet, and the diameter feet at the
 butt and 1 1-2 feet at the top.
 The petrified woods are beautiful objects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a
 
 placed under the microscope they show perfectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chalcedony. By studying the sec
 tiors F. H. Knowlton. of the Geologi- cal Survey, has found that most of ! these araucarian trees were of the species Araucarioxylon arizonicum, a | tree now extinct. It is known to have lived at the same geologic time also in the east-centraI part of the United States, where the remains of | some Of it's associates have also been | found. These included other cone
 bearing trees, tree ferns, cycads. and | gigantic horsetails, which indicate
 that at that time the rainfall of the 1 Southwest was abundant

help. Some made no response what ever, others declined for reasons that occur most readily to the phraseolo- gist, while one sent in 100 marks. Such help as has thus far been re- ceived has come from the new poor; that is, the cultured middle class.
 Museum drives are common, not only in Germany but in virtually all countries But it is significant as showing that Germany has not yet learned to spend. Under the em- pfre her wealth was more evenly distributed and the state cared for public institutions. Under the re- public, and as result of the war her wealth has been shuffled so that she has more "millionaires' than ever in her history. Long accustom- ed to view our own men of wealth with supercilious envy, she never has been able to realize, not even to this day, that from the American point of view one of the choicest privileges attached to the possession of great wealth is that Of spending it on de- serving public causes

Save the Trees Around Lakes
Reprinted from Milwaukee JournaD

| (Reprinted from Milwaukee JournaD
Not only are the banks of many
northern lakes bare and ugly, as res
ult of logging and fires, but every year
trees around the shores of other lakes
are cut down and fires follow the cutt-
ing.
1t does seem that owners of timbered
land fronting on these lakes could a.
rrange to save from ak and saw the
trees that stand within few rods back
of the water---a fairly good fringe OF
trees, the natural setting of the lakes.
This would be manifestation of pub
lie spirit, real public service, a fine,
beautiful act.
1t may well be, too, that in the end
this would be profitable The demand
for lake frontage for summer homes,
quite considerably now, is growing rap
idly, and it is far from improbable that
this forest land divided into lots. could
be sold for summer homes at an advan-
tageous price, at a price that would IN
clnde not only the value of the live tim
Der, but the greater value of the land
and the lake frontage, which without
the trees would find little or no mark
ct.
In the past years timber land owners
have saved the trees along the shores
of a few lakes and the beauty of those
shore lines today commentaries their
mercful course. More recently, with
the bare and blackened shores of many
lakes showing clearly the evil effcts of
complete deforestation along water
fronts would be, chopping has more fre-
quently been stopped in time.
1t is essential, however, to preserve
what remains of the beauty of all
northern lakes The only wayto do this
is to save fringe of trees along the
shores. Many lumberman will willingly
do this. All should be urged to do it.
The next step is to reforest denuded
lake frontage The state has done a
little Much can and should be done.
Without unnecessary delay the state
should plant trees on all its lands which
front on lakes, and upon streams as
we'll Private owners will increase the
value Of their lake frontage, and later
find certain market for it, if they
will do likewise.
From all this the nearby communities
and the state itself will profit 1t will
work wonders in restoring the beauty
of Wisconsin and that investment IL
natural beauty pays large dividends, is
proven by the history of the tourist
trade.

Legislative Tour of North?

[Reprinted from Milwaukee Jonrnal
There is reason to believe that no
little consideration will be extended
throughout the state to the Journal s
recent suggestion that tour of north
ern Wisconsin by members of the next
Legislature would give them very clear
idea of the possibilities of that region
in agriculture, industry, timber grow
ing and recreation and soon prove to be
boon to Wisconsin.
It's mauy natural advantages make
the upper part of the state one of the
most desirable regions in all the great
central west and the development of
all it's resources would be by far the
greatest benefit which it is possible
for state to gain. There is not in the
state community, there is hardly an
individual who would not benefit direct
| ly or indirectly.
| 1t is within the power of the legisla-
ture to delay or expe te the develop

es would open the eyes of many mem

No doubt the Rotary, Kiwanis and
