Many IhouKnndH of American young
men are now considering how they
can best utilize the college educations
that they are about to complete. To
many of them , and to their families and
frlendH , the proft of obtaining any
prompt return upon the educational In
vestment already made may .seem
rather discouraging. The old profes
sions hccm well filled , and , In some
cases , badly over-crowded. To enter
the Industries or commerce means to
undergo another apprenticeship. , To
young men of good general education
and sound health there Is open at least
one profession whore the demand for
workers far exceeds the supply. There
Is In the I'nlted States a positive dearth
of trained foresters. Nor Is any other
country prepared to supply the need.
JiYaneo and Germany , where the art Is
most advanced , have few foresters to
spare. British India , where forestry
work Is nipldly extending , absorbs
most of the lOiiropean surplus. The
United States must train Its own forest
ers , and supply Its own need for trained
workers of that kind. In these condi
tions there are plainly great opportuni
ties for young men of the right sort ,
hi to this new profession then- are two
roads. The beat Is through the forestry
schools lately established by Vale , Or-
neil , and some other universities. The
course Is two years In length , and the
graduates have no difficulty In securing
engagements. Then the forestry
bureau of the department of agriculture
Is taking a certain number of appren
tices to learn the business. It put In
the fluid bust summer sixty-live such
"student assistants , " and retained
twenty-live of them for work in Wash
ington this winter. Only college grad
uates young men whose minds have
been trained to study need apply for
these appointments. The lumber in
dustry supplies plenty of untrained
workers. The forestry bureau has
charge of 00,000,000 acres of national
forest , now employs nearly all the ex
perts In this country , and look * vainly
for more. To make cveu the working
plans now needed would occupy Its
present staff twenty years. Then

Forestry Is plainly a growing business.
Not only governments , but hundreds
of private owners are seeing the prac
tical advantages of systematic forest
management , and are looking for men
who understand that business. Thus ,
forestry Is not only an uucrowded pro
fession now , but Is also one which for
years to come will itll'ord employment
for Incronslng numbers of trained men.

The Department of Agriculture next
year will vary the garden seed dlstrl-
nitiou with several packages of trees.
Vuthorlty for this new departure was
ecured at a recent session of Congress
and un appropriation was made In the
budget for the coming year. The people
of this country have been cutting down
he natural forests with so much reck-
essuesa that it IIHM become necessary
o start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of the Agricultural Depart
ment IIIIB made a survey of the couu-
: ry and has ascertained the purtlcular
trees which thrive brut and are mowt
useful In ouch locality. According to
the program for the distribution of
trees , next year a given number of
seedlings will be alotted to each mem
ber of the House of Heprescutatlves ,
who will be asked to furnUu a lint of
constituents to whom he vrouhl llk to
have them sent. The Agricultural De
partment will do the re t. The seed-
llngfi will be grown in the propagating
houses and forwarded to their dcxtlnu-
tlou , with spec-Hie Instruct lonv a * to
how they should be planted and cared
for. In this way Secretary Wilson ex
pects to start several million utw tree *

It Is a great comfort for hogs and
may be made most useful to rid them
of lice and a scaly skin If put up as
follows : Drive a stout stick three
Inches In diameter In a HUllablc place ,
leaving twenty Inches above ground ;
staple a rope four Inches from earth's
surface to the stake and cell It closely
till It reaches three Inches from the top
of the stake ; staple It tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on It until
It Is well KIIturated with It. and the
hogs or Hlioats will tight for the first
and hiNt rub on It. Pour more oil on
occasionally us needed. This will kill
nil lice and nits and rt-movo scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. It has
been tried and works well. Twentieth

Original Idea About Anpnrnctii.
A consensus of 'opinion In regard to
cutting asparagus , as noted In Mee-
lan's Monthly , seems to be that from
he first starting of the plant In spring
he weaker shoots should not be cut ,
nit left to produce the leafage so neces
sary for the production of strong roots.
One gardener makes the novel .sugges-
Ion that the very best success in get
ting llrst-cliiss asparagus Is to select
he pluuts all of one sex. Ills plan has
teen to set -year-old 1 plants in a bed
other closely together and murk the
icrry-bearlinj or female plants for Ilia

GROWING FASTER THAN EVER ,
The Mormon Church mid lt
I'ollcy of Colonization.
The Mormon Church Is growing fast
er to-day than ever before In Its his
tory. It U building more churches ,
planting more settlements , maintain-
I
ilug more missionaries all over the
|
earth. The general public appears to
know nothing of It except polygamy.
And polygamy Is only the ornamental
buckle on It.s shoe. Behind that Is the
sturdy body and enterprising brain of
a great materialism , which possesses
aUnictioiis far more potent than a
plurality of wives. Whatever niys-
terles may bo embalmed within the
exclusive precincts of Mormon temples
there Is nothing occult about their
method of gaining converts and making
those convwta prosixirotis and con
tented.
The Mormon policy Is colonization.
The Mormon method Is co-operation.
Fifty years of expanding prosperity
have shown that this Is a winning com
bination. Tliere Is no reason to sup
pose that H will appeal less effectively
lu the future than In the past. On the
contrary , present economic tendencies
more urgently favor emigration and co
operative Industry than those of twen
ty-live or llfty years ago. Where the
missionaries of other churches speak
chiefly of security iu the life to come
Mormon missionaries add their pre
scription for security here and now.
The missionary who holds out the hope
of "threo square meals a day" In this
world has a striking advantage over
his rival who deals only In the hopes
of futurity.
The great social and economic facts
which nlono give the Mormon religion
a habitation and a name and enable it
to survive the o-ssaults of Congresses ,
presidents and all the churches of the
land have been overlooked. The truth
Is that the Mormon church Is a great
plan of co-operative settlement , to
which thousands of people have fled as
to a rock ott refuge. Those who ask
tills church for bread do not get a
stone. They got an Irrigated farm.
They get a nhrewd but kindly assist
ance of able rneii In making their way
from servitude to self-employment and
landed proprietorship. All the church
asks In return Is obedience Harper's

An Overworlcod Cout.
A number of years ago an order pro
viding for a change in the full-dress
coat burst like a bombshell upon tlio
young ollicers of the United States
steamship Alert , which was to sail
within n week for u cruise down the
coast. The commanding oflicer , who
wsa a stickler for naval regulations , in
sisted that the order be obeyed before
the vessel loft San Francisco. A stay
of several weeks here had depleted the
pockets of the steerage officers , and the
paymaster would not listen to an ad
vance. Seren men needed seven coats
nt n collective price of $ : ii ! . A hasty
"tarpaulin muster" resulted In a total
of less than $75. A happy thought
struck a bright young ensign. The
coats would be needed only when it
was necessary to accompany the cap-
tiilu ashore on otllclal visits. And only
one oflicer went at a time. Why not
buy one coat and have It altered by
the ship's tailor each time It was used ?
Although the lurgest man weighed al
most i.00 pounds and the smallest tip
ped the scale * at ISO , the suggestion
was gladly adopted. It is said that
wlii-ii the Alert returned to San FranCisco -

Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely , !
and she would full down as If shot.
