Hogs Fewer Than i'm 1900.
4 CHART recently issued by the De-

A CHART recently issued by the De-
partment Of Agriculture indicates
that hog production in the United
States has started upward again, but
despite the increase the total number
still Is nearly ten million head under
that of 1900. It is interesting, in this
connection, that the population Of the
United States in 1900 was about 76,-
00o, 1000, while in 1880, the last census
year, it had increased to nearly 123,-
10000.
The high point in American produc-
ton came in 1923, when it reached Co.
000, 900 head. From that point on, the
trend was downward as European ma
tions came back toward normal pro-
duction. Some gains were made until
1888, when production reached 62,-
000, 900 head.
Starting in 1884, when the A. A. A.
was buying in brood sows and less
than-80- pound pigs In order to control
production, there was drastic decline,
the production falling OF to low
figure Of about 100000 head, or
about 100000 fewer than were
raised In 1900. The Department Of
Agriculture places much Of the blame
on the 1884 drought for this decrease.

Aids Southern Forests.

THE Department of Agriculture is
carrying on a determined effort to
stimulate reforestation in the south
ern sections of the country with par
ticular attention being paid to black
locust and various types Of pine.
Development of the method for i'm
proving termination of seed from black
locust trees was an important accom-
plishment, as the black locust Is widely
used in erosion control work and also
is considered a valuable adjunct to
the farm woodlot as it is an excellent
source for fence posts. During 1885
more than four tons Of the black locust
seed were treated in Mississippi alone.
The treatment involves soaking the
black locust seed in concentrated sui
phuric acid for a short time prior to
planting in the nursery.
An economic study Of truck logging
in second-growth stands Of short-leat
and loblolly pine indicated that light
cuts could be made profitably. Even
when only 500 board feet per acre was
removed the cost Of logging was in
creased only slightly. Each tree was
marked under selective timber man
agement for sustained yield as con-
trasted to the present heavy cutting
practices. Where this method was fol-
lowed the trees were sawed into lum-
Der Of higher grade and greater value
than that from the clear-cut stands
This method has been adopted by sew
eral large timber operators in the
southern pine region.
Field work Of a southern forest In
ventory was completed on 100000, ,0o0

acres.

A MOTHER building Of importance,
= which stood for many years on
the south side Of Louisiana avenue
a thoroughfare now known only in
memory-was the old Central Guard
House, erected in 1860. It stood mid
way Of the block, was Of brick, two
stories high, was SO by 80 feet and
the structure was surmounted with q
steeple and bell. In 1874 the build.
ing was valued at $4,000. It was
west Of Brady's Gymnasium.
John H. Goddard, who was captain
Of the Auxiliary Guard from its form
ing in l842 and until the Metropolitan
Police force came into existence in
1861, was captain Of the Guard. Prior
to the Auxiliary Guard, the good con-
duct Of the city was taken care Of
by the corporation constables, who
served the corporation warrants, for
which they received fees. They were
also expected to make arrests for dis
orderly conduct and other breaches
Of the peace, ETC., but since they re-
ceived no fee for making arrests for
these offenses they did not bother
themselves very much about such
arrests. The Guard House was q very
busy place during the Civil War.
A real duel with broadswords is
said to have been quietly pulled OF
in Brady's Gymnasium some time in
the 70s between two Danish om-
GERS, both Of whom were badly cut UP.

Outdoor amusement parks Washing
ton has always had-some of them
the finest in the land. They are easily
accessibility bus, tramway or motor
car. Even, as far back as the days OF
Andrew Jackson, Washington had its
amusement park on the upper edge OF
the city, In what Is now congested
district Later came Cabin John.
Now, in any direction, the roads lead
to hundreds of places where people
may enjoy themselves at humble fam
lily picnics or elaborate country estates.
One of the blessings Of Washington
is its nearness to Chesapeake Bay
one Of the finest fishing grounds in
the United States. There, sea food OF
all kinds wait for angler and deep
sea fisherman, and Washington enjoys
the bounty Of the Bay. As q conse-
quence, this city Is noted for its sea-
food establishments. places that serve
the succulent oyster and terrapin,
crawfish and crab, and all the de-
lectables of the briny deep.
Dirigibles, airplanes, sea craft and
all manner of land conveyances are
here for those who would use them for
city or country travel-so that the
Washingtonian who must remain in
the city over the Summer has nothing
to fear. On the contrary. properly
best for enjoying Life in Washington.
This is the consensus of opinioa
among those who have tried it year
after year, holding their vacation pc
riod of until September and October;
who feel that, by doing this, they come
back from their vacation period bet
ter able to stand the onslaughts Of
Winter. The heat we have with us all
during the Summer-even at Summer
resorts.
While Washington actually is no
Summer resort it Is as good as the
best offered If all its advantages are
considered. In few cities are there
so many natural aids to comfort

ranges within few hours motor
