Senseless Destruction of Treca Csu- liiK Much Tnlk of Rcf orestntlou. "The white pine tree Is disappearing," said a student of the conifer fnmlly to a Washington Star reporter In tho grounds of tho Department of Agriculture, "tnougn now that nttontlon has been cnllcd to tho ruthless destruction of tho trees the various schemes of reforestation and conservative lumbering aro being given consldorntlon. It has been calculated that tho original stand of whlto pine in Canada and tho United States represented something llko $500,000,000,000 feet of merchantable lum ber, board, measure. In 1899 It was com puted that tho 3tand had been reduced to 110,000,000,000 feet, 61,000,000,000 being In the United Stales In tho region of the great lakes, 40,000,000,000 In Canada and 6,000,000, 009 scattering. "The whlto pine Is distinctively a north ern tree. The native distribution of the tree was from Newfoundland on tho cast to Lnke Winnipeg on the west, and thenco to the southern boundary of Wisconsin, Mich igan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Con necticut. The white pine belt also fol lowed tho Appalachian rango so far to tho south as Georgia. Tho best growth of tho tree was In Maine and tho Ilrltlsh territory cast of that state, along the St. Lawrence river, In Now Hampshire, Vermont, north ern Now York, Mlchlgnn, Wisconsin.

Some whlto plno still grows In almost Inaccessible parts of Now York and Pennsylvania. According to Prof. Spalding, tho whlto pine trco seldom attains a height greater than 160 feet or a diameter of more than to Inches. A trco of this variety once meas ured- by the division of forestry of tho Department of Agriculture was 170 feet tall and 4S Inches thick. That treo was '460 years old. It was a little sappltng flftv years before Columbus sailed from Pnlos. It Is not an easy treo to propagato, so many of the seeds being unfertile. It does not, as a rule, produce llowors and cones until it Is IB or 20 years old.

Smnni.'iiK t'l Hie Experience of One CoitrnueoiiN Tester. A writer In the Brooklyn Eagle lias been experimenting with tho emergency ration furnished to tho United States army. In referring to It he says; "Ono of the emergency rations conies from a western packing house, it appears In a cylindrical tin, Japanned In yellow on the outside and stamped: "U. S. Army Emergency Ration. Not to bo opened ex cept by order of an officer or In extremity. To bo carried In the haversack or saddle bags and accounted for at Inspection. This ration Is calculated to subsist a man for ono day, maintaining his full strength nnd vigor.' I tried It. I do not like It. In mercy to the soldiers it ought to bo put up In gelatine capsules that they can swal low with their eyes shut. The box con tains three packages of what resembles a coarse meal, one of these parcels for each fenat. H Is salted too much, but there Is a paper of salt and another of red pepper for seasoning and three rakes of slightly sweetened chocolate. The chocolate is all right. Presumably the material of tho meal Is dried nnd compressed meat and bread. It has an unpleasant odor, like that of meat that has not been sent to the refrigerator soon enough, or n hnndker chief perfumed with a little more llsh oil thnn Is nulte genteel. One other sufferer In the Eagle olllcc snld It was old llvor. This ration can be eaten dry If the emer gency Is emergent, or It can be soaked in 0 cold water, or It can be boiled In hot water, or It can be thinned Into soup. I.nch way It Is a llttlo worse, than the other. Hot water causes It to lose somewhat of Its evil emcll. hut doc3 not Improve Its taste, There Is little doubt ns to Its high con centration. Each succeeding mouthful Is hnrdor to swallow thnn the preceding nnd I found it impossible to finish one of the meal allowances nt a sitting. In met, mihslsted for thirtv-four hours, ns an ex perlmcnt, on a third of the ration the amount allowed for ono meal In twenty- four hours. The first meal was taken dry In the hollow of tho hand, but n few spoonfuls of the mixture wero nlso at tempted after It had boon swollen with 'hif. Tbls was nt neon on Saturday. On Saturday night the supper consisted of nbout six spoonfuls of tho compound which hr. fnr nvi minutes In water, Kor a while this was enough and there was no sense of appetite. Rut on a walk that, evening which unconsciously led me pnst various restaurants, where people woro sitting In tho windows, vnuntlngly nnd Irrltntlngly eating plo and drinking red Ink, there was roused within me a feeling of envy. I went to a roof garden to forget it. ..iit "On Sunday morning at 0 o clock i breakfasted on another tour or five spoon-fuls-lt mado that much after bolng swollen with water-and a sad time I had getting tt down., Tho taste became more and more disquieting.

Tho chocolate was eaten with tho first meal, but converted into n drink for the, socond and third. n tasted good and probably braced more than the food.

During that "me I did tho usual amount of work at tho desk, walked twelve miles, lounged about a park, read Ralzac. spent a couple of hours In a museum, went to church to pray that I would not have to eat any more emergency rations, bathed several times for cool ness' sake aud went to mo v..

Once hamstrung it Is all over with the quarry, and the cntlro band feasts at leisure Mr. Vincent has often seen on the Powder river ranges the mere empty hide and polished bones of what wns once a lusty steer or polished gelding as sad sou venirs of the raid of n gray wolf band. Tho cattle herds nre open nnd easy prey lo the bold canluo bandits, the cattlo flee ing from the pursuers nnd thus rendering Individual attack easy and successful. The horses, however, with their superior Intel ligence, very frequently beat off the wolves by forming on the open ground an equine square, with the mnres and colts In the center, tho gallant stallions on tho corner, and tho best nnd bravest geldings distrib uted on the outer lines of defense. Not only do these equine squares frequently beat off 'hair nsjnllants, but they sometimes rout the wild dogs entirely, slaying numbers of them by striking, kicking nnd trampling. This la an especial result when the horse herd has with It a stallion experienced In rnngu life. He enn smell a wolf farther than ho can see him, and nt his shrill and warning neigh the herd rushes together nnd quickly forms tho protecting square. Th wolves fully npprcclato this fact, and In stances hnvo been known of a gray band numbering scores of raiders trotting lei surely around ono of these embattled squares nnd then seeking other and easier prey. Tho gray wolf reaches a weight of 125 pounds, nnd boasts nllke brain, brawn, n noiseless, tireless foot, a savage ferocity and an insatiable appetite. It Is snld of him that he can run longer nnd easier, eat oftcner and more, nnd display more cun nlng nnd ferocity In n given length of tloic than any other known animal. He Is n prollllc breedor, eight or ten pups being a not uncommon litter, while there Is n Powder river Instance of th'rty-llvo pups being slnln as the progeny of three wolf dams. Up to six months old the gray wolf pup Is awkward and unwieldy, nnd It Is a fa vorlte cowboy pastime of tho Powder river ranges to locate a gray wolf litter on tho prairie and shoot tho pups from horseback ns they skulklngly roll nnd tumblo from their coverts In tho grass and sagebrush. Crack shots with the pistol have been known to get n pup with every bullet from tholr six-shooters. CIIIHI'' WIMCIII'S I'll'i: DREAM. Orlirln of ll Vlllll tlint lini'M the RoiiiiiIm tllcillilillly. "Set a counterfeiter to catch a counter fcltcr," Is an adaptation from Vldocq which novcr falls to bring n conscious smile to the face of Chief Wllklo of the United States secret service. And thereby hangs a tale, unfolded by the New York Tribune. Several years ngo an epidemic of stories of East Indian Jugglery swept over tho American press. Wllkie, who was then ns ststant city editor of tho Chlcngo Tribune, had a theory that the miracles described were merely Imaginary, tho result of hyp notism. So he wrote nn Interview with n fictitious personage called Krcd Scllmorc, to whom ho gave a vacnnt lot habitation In Chicago and whom he described ns a man of wealth and leisure nnd an expert amateur photographer. Sellmoro told of a trip ho had lately made around tho world, picking up on his way an old friend, an art student In Paris, and Uiklng him to India, where they went into the mountains nnd got hold of ono of the most eminent local mnglclnns. The lntter performed for them a number of his tricks, tho artist sketching everything he saw and Scllmorc taking simultaneously snapshots with his camera. When the films wore developed n remark able fact appeared. The artist had drawn tho wizard throwing a partly unwound ball of twlno Into the air and a boy climbing the dangling strand till ho disappeared In the sky; Sellmore had snapped the boy ns he wns mounting aloft, but the plntu showed neither tho boy nor tho string only tho old mnn squatting ,on the ground. There were other feats of a llko charac ter, sketched and photographed with cor responding results. Ily way of nddlng to tho realism of tho story Wllklo had one of tho Chicago Trib une nrtlsts prepare lifelike pictures, sup posed to havo been copied from Sellmore's photographs and his friend's drawings, con trasting In the most striking mnnncr what they saw with what they thought they saw. It was tho expectation of tho author of the skit that Its fictitious character would speak for Itself among tho Intelligent read ers of the newspaper, but that It would af ford an amusing point of depnrturo for a discussion which might lead to Important discoveries. He was astonished nnd por haps a little chagrined at the avidity with which tho exchanges took It up nnd printed It ns a serious narrative, sometimes with editorial comment which charged the sit uation with all the more embarrassing pos sibilities for the future. Nearly half a generation has passed slnro then, but from tlrao to tlmo somebody pulls that story from a pigeonhole, brushes the dust and cobwebs from It nnd starts It on Its rounds again. At first Wllklo was afraid to confess his deception to tho pub lic. Of late years he has been too much amused to do so, particularly slnco soma not too scrupulous contemporaries ot tho Chicago Tribune have changed a few names and dates and appropriated tho wholo mat ter as tbclr own "sensation." Investigators of physic phenomena In all parts of tho world havo written letters of Inquiry about It nnd to theso tho truth hns doubtless been told. A professor of metaphysics In n Scotch university, howover, neglected to write nnd as a consequence has gravely cited tho original story In n book ho hns lately published as nn Illustration of the Influence of ono mentality upon another np parently quite Independent of It. To him, ns to many others, this article will convey tho first Intimation that thn Sellmoro In tcrview, llko tho magic it described, was not nil it scorned. Shut Out of Court. During tho oxtremo hot weather at Pitts burg an Incident ruflled the dignity of tho court. Tl.e Judges In nil tho county courts that were lu session sat through their work without takliu' nny more cognizance of the hent ttwn to keep n fan going. In criminal court a Juror who was n llttlo moro ven- turosomo than the attorneys nnd others np peared In tho courtroom with a shlrtwatst and carrying his coat on his arm. He was eyed by everybody until alter roll call, when a tipstaff discovered him and directed that he put his coat on. The Juror protests that It was oo wnrm, but the tipstaff said he could not i.olp that, ns the court Insisted on everybody keeping on his coat. N'iriiiicrH.

I J.vJ I tvery Intelligent farmer Who Wants to make n success of hi bumness must, keep up with t in procession by constantly familiarizing himself with tlio most modern methods and improved processes in every department of agriculture. The average, farmer, how ever, cannot take all the technical periodicals devoted to one thing only such as poultry, live stock, the or chard, the dairy, the sugar beet, etc. nor would he have the time to go through them if he had the means to do so. What he wants is A Live Up-to-date that covers all the ground in a thorough yet concise manner, that keeps him in touch with the best though! of experts in all these departments, but at the same time relieves him of details which do not particularly affect him. He wants a paper that is not only instructive id himself, but also entertaining and useful to his wife nnd his children. When he realizes this it will be found that he Takes the Twentieth Century farmer because it best tills the demand by satisfying all thoso wants. It is particularly prephred for the farmers of the great middle west and treats of conditions and prob lems that confront them from day to day on the Hold, in the orchnrd, in the cattle pen, stable and barnyard. The best a most experienced writers contribute to itH columns, wl h are also illustrated by beautiful half tone reproductions of Original Photographic Art Studies made by its special artist, who visits the best stock farm.1 for the purpose of getting tine animals before the cam. era and takes in the field work at the seasonable periods. This paper in fact has set the pace for photographic il lustrations of agricultural subjects. What has been ac complished during the past year in making the Farmer valuable and attractive is merely an assurance of still better things in future numbers. The progressive farmer Eimply Cannot Afford to Be Without It and will not only mnke sure that his name is kept on tlio subscription list, but also exerts himself to get his neigh bors to avail themselves of its benefits by becoming sub scribers too.
