FROM " AMONG THE WATER- FOWL," BY HERBERT K. JOB. COURTESY DOUBLED AY, PAGE & CO. 



iujvater birds too little known. The author's 

 l^^v'ork with the camera is in a great measure 

 responsible for the attractiveness of the vol- 

 ume, and the illustrations made from his photos 

 give an unusually intimate view of the habits 

 of many of these water-fowl. Altogether. 

 'Among the Water-fowl " is a most entertain- 

 ing and valuable book. One of the man}- illus- 

 trations is reprinted here. 



Harper's Magazine for July contains an article 

 on "American Private Forests," b}^ Mr. Over- 

 ton W. Price, of the Bureau of Forestry, that 

 deserves to be widely read. Mr. Price shows 

 in this article how rapidlj' the idea of handling 

 woodlands in a conservative manner is spread- 

 ing among private owners. He also outlines 

 methods for improving private forest lands, 

 and points out the results to be expected when 

 practical methods are pursued. 



The Century for July contains a ver}' inter- 

 esting article on "Irrigation," by Ray Stan- 

 nard Baker, as a further addition to its series 

 of papers on the "Great Southwest." The 

 article is splendidly illustrated with drawings 

 bv Maxfield Parrish. 



PUBLISHER S NOTES. 



An unusual opportunity to purchase a valu- 

 able coal and timber tract is to be found in the 

 announcement of Mr. R. W. Powell on another 

 page of this issue of Forestry and Irriga- 

 tion. Mr Powell, who has for many years 

 been prominent in the lumber business of 

 Tennessee, is desirous of disposing of this tract 

 to purchasers who will cut the timber in a con- 

 servative manner. 



Mr. Powell is deeply interested in forestry, 

 is on the executive coilncil of the Tennessee 

 Forest Association, and one of the most active 

 members of that organization. We printed in 

 the i\Iay number of Forestry and Irriga- 

 tion an article by Mr. Powell on the ' ' Rela- 

 tion of Forests to the Manufacturing Industries 

 of Tennessee." 



The Misses Reynolds will remove their

 due notice of which will be given. Their ad-
