of Scientific Forestry.
San Diego, Cal., is said to be the
jflrst American city to take up scien?
tific forestry as a municipal enter?
prise. The city owns 7,000 acras
of waste land, a heritage from the
time when it was a Mexican pueblo.
This tract ls now set aside for grow?
ing eucalypti, and last spring 40,000
seedling's were planted.
Eucalyptus ls very valuable and
?takes tho place of mary of the more
?familiar hardwoods that are becoming
so expensive; it grow** with truly trop?
ical rapidity; lt will stand an enor?
mous amount of cutting and seems to
thrive nader H. and a grove once well
?started apparently will last forever.
In San Hiego, says the Survey, the
moro ol tl mistic taxpayers are looking
forward to a time when the forest will
irelleve thom of all taxes and perhaps
even pay ihem for being citizens of
San Di co! They are not the only
people in an American city to be con?
gratulated oa doing good municipal
[business.
July 6. 1911. the Detroit house of
correction passed its fiftieth milestone.
During the last 32 years over $1,000,
"000 in profits were turned over to the
icity of Detroit to the families of pris
.oners and to the prisoners themselves,
Since 1880 the city of Detroit has an
nually received sums ranging from
19.016.83 to I52.711.at
The original expenditure by the cltj
of 1189.841 .0 has been turned bael
into the treasury of the municipality
the institution has paid its own waj
and in tin* 50 years show a fine bal
ance of $1,254,178.15. In addition t<
,1 lila showing, the prisoners since July
1901, have been receiving Ananda
benefits ranging from $5.95S.14 to $9,
C70.38 annually.
In addition to amounts paid the pris
oners, some of which are sent by thi
men to their families, provision ls alsc
made for the families of those wh(
are Imprisoned on the charge of aban

a statute which provides that $1.60 i

GOOD LESSON FROM GERMAN
There Municipalities Exercise Mil
Form of Despotism Over ths
Owners of Property.
A common exercise of the Individ?
ual fancy is to decide with a wealt
of detail what one would do if on
had, say. $10,000,000, declares the Ne'
York Tribune. The movement fe
"ctles beautiful" which the publi
hears of every now and then resen
btes this pastime. When Chicagi
Pittsburgh, Boston, or whatever cit
lt may be. considers becoming Ch
cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beaut
ful or Boston Beautiful lt ls makin
up its mind what lt would do If :
had $100,000,000. There Is even
profession of telling cities what the
might do If they had $100,000,000. an
the experts are kept fairly busy aboi
lt. The Tribune hopes that Brooklyi
,the latest to consult one of these e:
perts, will have millions enough I
make her as beautiful as she wis-.*
to become. This consulting aboi
what might be done to make Amer
can cities more presentable is a goc
sign in ltsolf. The public ls not !
content as formerly to trust their d
velopment to haphazard. Its resu
has been bad in respect of beauty, i
health and even of business econom
But ' i determining their own futui
development American cities are sa
ly behind those of Europe, wher
especially in Germany, municipality
exercise a sort of benevolent despc
Ism over the uses to which the in<
vidual property owner may put h
property.

she should have certain definite char?

used as foundation stock. Selection
of the best females from their progeny
and mating them to a useful growth?
Quality male will establish within a
very short time a high-class herd. In
selecting a sow for breeding pur?
poses the following points should be
emphasized:
1. The gilt should be pure bred; a
typical utility representative of her
breed.
2. Should trace to a large, even
litter, farrowed by a kindly disposed,
heavy milking dam that displays vig?
or, quality and symmetry.
3. She should evidence early matur?
ity; possess a clean, shapely head

a yearling sow, a two-year-old. and a
six-year-old sow all on the same date.
These three sows all farrowed on the
sumo day.
I like for my sows to be Into av,
thriving condition when the pigs are
farrowed. In fact, 1 like for them to
Improve in flesh during the entire
period of gestation.
Some people are afraid of getting
their sows too fat. nnd I suppose that
they can be made too fat, but they
ought to be In good flesh. They should
have a surplus laid up for the suck?
ling of the young plga, because it is
hard to keep a sow from going down
in flesh rapidly while the pigs have
to depend upon her for their food.

Middle White Sow. Walton Rose 69th,
First at Royal Show, Liverpool.
The sows are given separate lots,
with a good shelter, close, warm
house, If the weather ls cool, about a
week before they are due to farrow.
The sows are fed sparingly for a
few days after farrowing, then grad?
ually brought up to a full ration.
It has always boen hard for et*} to
keep from feeding tho sow too H?cfc
while Um pisa are young, and as a
result I have had several cases of
scours with the young pigs.
When I lind the pigs beginning tu
scour, I give the sow 15 to 20 drops
of laudanum in her feed for a few
feeds. Her feed is reduced and this
usually checks the scours in a day or
so. If I have not any laudanum I
havo used powdered charcoal with
good results.
As soon as the pigs are old enough
to eat I give them a separate trough
where they can eat without being dis?
turbed by the mother. They are given
a mixed feed of middlings, corn meal
or other ground feed mixed with
water. The sow gets a similar ration.
More corn ls used in cold weather
than If the season ls warra.

It ls very important that the bull
at the head of a herd be given pleuty
of exercise, and be fed like a work
horse, as iivUi- UUn?ier Le becomes
Strong and vigorous, and a sure calf
getter.
Or the other hand, If a bull be de?
prived of exercise and the proper
kind of feed and becomes indolent,
lacking energy, especially breeding
energy, he is rendered almost value?
less; In fact, he becomes a detriment
to a herd, owing to the fact that &
breeder ls losing valuable time by re?
peatedly breeding his cows to him
without results.
The various ways of exercising a
bull might consist in a paddock to
run in, a tread power to work In, or
being chained up and staked. At any
rate, it is Important to conceive some
manner in which to give the herd bull
plenty of daily exercise, as the re?
sults of good feed and plenty of exer?
cise may be plainly noticeable in the
offspring.
The New Way.
This is the modern idea 01 cow
management?to first have a cow of
largest possible dairy capacity, know
what her capacity to convert focj
Into milk ls, and feed up to the ca?
pacity and uo more. In your herd
that you are feeding all alike it may
be possible that two cows of limited
capacity are wasting food that one
may be in need of to do her best
work. Are you underfeeding good
cows and overfeeding poor ones?
