THE FORESTER. 



October, 



Tree Planting Mr. Wm. L. Hall, Super- 

 in Wisconsin. intendent of Tree Plant- 

 ing in the Bureau of For- 

 estry, has just completed, an examination 

 of 15,000 acres of " cutover " white pine 

 dand in Wisconsin. The tract is the prop- 

 erty of the Bay Shore Lumber Company 

 of Chicago and is located in Forest county. 

 The land was cut over about fifteen years 

 ago and left idle, meantime growing up 

 in Birch, Red Cherry, Alder, and Aspen. 

 An examination of this tract was re-

 planting on a large scale will likely follow. 



Sheep Raising Senator F. E. Warren, at

Reserves. the Eastern Wyoming

 cently, read a paper on the sheep rais- 



information as to the way in which re- 

 serves are established, what they are es- 

 tablished for, and the present sentiment 

 among western people generally on the 

 reserve question. 



If Senator Warren will take the trouble 

 to look into the matter he will find that 

 the Federal government usually assigns 

 such tasks as the laying out of reserves 

 to competent men. Further, that the ques-
