The Marble Safety Axe Company, Gladstone, 

 Mich., makes many other woodsman's and 

 sportsman's novelties beside the safety axe on 

 which the name and reputation of the firm has 

 teen founded. All of their specialties equal 

 the axe in workmanship, and the firm lives up 

 to its guarantee to replace any article not 

 strictly up to the highest standard of excel- 

 lence of its kind. Marble products are not 

 "cheap" in mere dollars and cents, because 

 they are hand-made and only from the best 

 material obtainable, but they are thoroughly 

 dependable, and there are cases when comfort, 

 safety, and even life itself might depend on 

 them. 



The Pacific coast, under the impetus of grow- 

 ing Oriental trade and the development of in- 

 terior resources, is making giant strides in 

 modern industries. For a long time the coast 

 cities and settlements were a shell of civiliza- 

 tion around an empty back-country, and ex- 

 isted, in a great measure, on their connection 

 with the eastern United States. Lately, how- 

 ever, development has been consistent and 

 rapid. Resources are being exploited, manu- 

 facturing plants established, and all industries 

 stimulated . In this development the northern 

 part of the coast, particularly in the neighbor- 

 hood of Seattle, has made exceptional pro- 

 .gress. This is due in a great measure to the 

 development of the coal resources, supplying 

 a need which the Pacific states have recognized 

 for a long time. The Consolidated Coal Com- 

 pany of Seattle, Wash., owns a developed 

 mine and has other properties of value. This 

 company has for sale certain shares of its 

 capital stock, which are advertised on another 

 page of this magazine. The managers are con- 

 ducting the affairs of the company on a con- 

 .servative and business-like basis, and any one 

 interested in an investment which promises to 

 "be dividend-paying within a year should ad- 

 dress the Consolidated Coal Company, Pacific 

 Block, Seattle, Wash., for prospectus and par- 

 ticulars 



The Kinstler War Bag, advertised in FOR- 

 ESTRY AND IRRIGATION, is a unique device 

 for campers, hunters, or travelers, being so 

 arranged that it can be carried in many ways, 

 either as satchel, pack, or knapsack. Also it 

 has the property of being adjustable to almost 

 any size and makes a neat and compact pack- 

 age under any circumstances. Complete in- 

 formation regarding this device may be ob- 

 tained by addressing to J. Kinstler, 126 Oak 

 St., Chicago., 111., a request for Circular " D." 



The University of the South, whose adver- 

 tisement appears on another page, announces 

 its summer courses in law for 1903, sessions to 

 be held at Sewanee, Tenn., from July 2 to 

 September 23, making a three months con- 

 tinuous session. 



The summer law course coincides with the 



regular summer term of the university, when 

 all other departments are in regular session. 

 Law students are admitted to any of the other 

 courses without extra charge. 



The law courses proper include elementary 

 law, pleadings, contracts, torts, crimes, equity, 

 evidence, insurance, personal property, and 

 damages. Classes are so arranged that a wide 

 range of subjects may be taken, which will 

 prove advantageous to beginners, those who 

 are studying for bar examinations, or for those 

 who are already admitted to practice. 



Sewanee is an ideal place for a summer 

 school. Situated on a western spur of the 

 Cumberland Mountains, 2,000 feet above sea- 

 level, and well supplied with pure water, it 

 defies malaria and fever. There are opportu- 

 nities for athletics, including golf links, base- 

 ball field, tennis court, and a well-equipped 

 gymnasium. 



Board, including lodging, fuel, lights, and 

 laundry, may be obtained at prices ranging 

 from $14.00 to $20.00 a month. Railways give 

 special rates for the summer school. Tuition, 

 $25.00 for the term. For detailed information 

 address Albert T. McNeal, Dean, Sewanee, 

 Tenn. 



The American Plant and Seed Company of 

 Nashville, Tenn., makes a specialty of grafted 

 nut trees in general and of pecans in particu- 

 lar. They have prepared an interesting book- 

 let, which will be seat free on application, 

 telling of the success to be attained from the 

 planting of nut trees. In it the company 

 makes the point that grafted or budded nut 

 trees will come into bearing as soon as fruit 

 trees will and for a longer period of years will 

 be a source of income. In man}' cases the 

 trees are highly ornamental and are recom- 

 mended for planting as shade trees, thus serv- 

 ing a double purpose. 



So many spurious " insecticides " and "ger- 

 micides " are put on the market at the present 

 day, and so bitter has been the feeling on the 

 part of the user at the failure of many of them 

 to accomplish desired results, that a really 

 good article should be welcomed by all who 

 have a use for such preparations " Dispa- 

 rene," manufactured and sold by the Bowker 

 Insecticide Company, has the endorsement of 

 many experts in matters of insect destruction. 

 Some of these testimonials follow : 



Dr. George E. Stone, Professor of Botany, 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College, says : 

 "The Bowker Insecticide Company is cer- 

 tainly acting as a public benefactor in putting 

 out such a first-class insecticide as ' Dispa- 

 rene. ' 



Professor John B. Smith, of New Jersey Ex- 

 periment Station, says : ' Disparene ' has 

 proved a thoroughly satisfactory and safe in- 

 secticide so satisfactory I have recommended 

 it widely." 



Professor H. J. Wheeler, Director Rhode 

 Island Experiment Station, says : " I watched 

 the experiments with ' Disparene ' closely dur- 

 ing the summer, and it was a very efficacious 

 insecticide."
