In the west and in the east one after another there are being set apart sections of country for whose of because preservation, peculiar scenic charms or other reason, Uncle Sam should become special sponsor and guardian, aud notwithstanding his multitudinous cares he always cheerfully assumes the new obligation which promises to give to the generations yet to be a rich landed heritage. The latest proposition which has come before his consideration is that from the White mountain district, where It is felt that the forest interests can best be cohserved by making the region a national park, to be guarded and developed by the wardens of Uncle Sam's domains. New Hampshire is waking up at last to the demolition of her forests. For she has been hit in a very sensitive spot her pocket. The summer tourist traffic means $8,000,000 a year to the hotels and retreats In the White mountains And the disappearance of the forests means the disappearance of this traf 1b in J. ftf flc. All ft?Kd? a a human life can make allowance for, present methods make for the wiping out of the forests. That is why so much agitation has been heard to the effect that forestry is a federal problem needing immediate attention. Aside from the business aspect of the thing, there is a sentimental interest attaching which will appeal to millions who would not consider themselves afTected in a business sense. This is that the White mountains offer a breathing space for 10,000,000 people who live within 24 hours' easy journey of those primeval haunts. The very existence of this region as a health and pleasure resort depends absolutely on the preservation of the forests, either in their entirety or by conservative lumbering. Thousands of persons who were formerly regular frequenters of the White mountains now spend their summers in Canada. That is because the Ne" Hampshire scenery is being destroye. s of the population of the United States are east of the Misof the woodsissippi. working industries are located east of the Mississippi. Yet, west of the Father of Rivers there are 140,000,000 acres of forest reserve. And the east hasn't an acre. But the east is asking for 4,500,00.0 acres in the Appalachians and 500,000 in the White mountains. Will she get them? That is what the western forest reserves amount to 140,000,000 acres are equivalent to the territory of all the New England states, together with New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and part of West Virginia. There came before the last session of congress "a bill for the purpose of acquiring national forest reserves In the Appalachian mountains and White It had passed the senate mountains,'' and was unanimously recommended to the house by the committee on agriculture. It is proposed to make a reserve of 3,000,000 acres. One per cent, of this, or 30,000 acres, will be preserved for scenic effect, which means that the scenery will be enhanced over the entire tract. It would also be possible to promote the cultivation along scientific lines of birds, game and fish, and to provide against destructive fires. Fire Is the greatest enemy of the forest, and it invariably follows cutting unless the logging is done in the most conservative manner. Fire not only destroys the standing timber, but also the young growth, tne seedlings, the seeds; the leaf litter and even the soli Itself. And the causes of forest fires, In the order of their importance, are: Railroads, carelessness In clearing land, fishermen, campers and deliberate Incendiarism. The remedy for fires Is to patrol and warn and instruct all campers how and where to build their fires and how to take care of them. Maine has perfected a Are protection system of which much Is heard. Fire wardens are stationed with powerful glasses on the high mountain tops. Mr. Sherman visited one such station on Squaw mountain, near the foot of Moosehead lake This warden had a revolving table and a map of all the country In sight, which is laid out In circles, with his station as a center. When he discovers a fire, If not posl tlve of the location, he places the msp on the table and turns It until the directions correspond exactly with th" lay of the country. And If Uncle Sam should take this White mountain din trlct under his care this fire protection would be possible.

Cole Banking Company, Tremonton, Utah. by Concerning the value of skim milk for hens the American Poultry Advo- cate has the following to say: The West Virginia experiment station has recently made some systematic testa, to prove the value of skim milk for laying hens. The first test covered 122 days. The 22 hens fed skim milk laid 1,244 eggs, as compared with ;S6 eggs laid by the 22 hens fed mash wet with water. In another test, 60 hens fed the skim-milration laid 862 eggs in 37 days, as compared with 632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no skim milk. Other tests gave about the same comparative results. The conductors of these experiments estimate that under the prevailing conditions, and with eggs selling for 20 or 25 cents a dozen, the skim milk used for moistening the mash had a to 2 cents feeding value of from 1 per quart. That milk is one of the best general foods for almost all stock, and human beings, too, is recognized by everybody, and needs no special proof. That it should have better results in nutrition than just plain water is really When I feed skim milk to my fowls, I expect to get some benefit from it. But it is a satisfaction to know that it is worth, for feeding purposes, the to 2 comparatively high figure of cents a quart. The exceedingly high prices of corn will cut out any profit from the pig feeding at present prices of pork. Shelled corn is worth at wholesale about 60 cents a bushel of 56 pounds In Chicago. It takes 56 pounds to make 10 pounds of pork. The corn is worth tiO cents and the pork at 6 cents a hundred live weight is worth 65 cents. Not much profit in that.

II Much Can The size of poultry varies and may be made to vary still more. The possibilities of variation in this respect are beyond the experience of any. It is possible that poultry can be made to vary as greatly in size as do canines, among which are found some no larger than rats and others as big as calves. The question for the farmer to settle is what is the most profitable size for him to keep. Jn the matter of hens, where they are to be used for setting, it is easy to get them too large. One poultry raiser has had a great deal of trouble with his Plymouth Rocks, some of which are ex- q jssively large. He sets some of them ry year, and the large ones ak most of the eggs on which they are placed, while the medium ones seldom break an egg. For eating purposes some of the fowls are now being grown to greal size, especially in the case of turkeys, where specimens are every year sold that weigh above 40 pounds. Weights of 60 pounds and excess are recorded, hut we have not reached the point yet where that weight is common. FEEDING L. P. Jensen, At J. C.

L. FATTENING CHICKENS. One Finds It Pays to Let the Farmers Fatten the Birds. Man At the meeting of fhe Western Ontario Poultry association, at Guelph, Mr. Adam Armstrong of Fergus told of his experience in crate fattening chicks. The first season he had 100 fattening croops, each having a capacity of 20 birds, made. At. the end of the season he was behind $100 and the cost of the coops. Then he thought of the plan of letting the farmers have the coops and do the fattening themselves. This has worked so well that, though he sold the first coops, he proposes to have more built, which he will let out among the farmers for He says he usually pays nothing. seven cents a pound for unfattened and and nine cents a pound for fattened chickens. Chickens make best gain when put in the coops at three to four pounds weight, and should Increase two pounds or more on five weeks' feeding. Do not overestimate your capacity. The number of hens that should be kept over winter Is Just what the buildings will comfortably accommodate without crowding, and no more Utah. TIME TABLE. MALAD VALLEY BRANCH. ARRIVE NO 83.
