SPRING FIELD WORK AT YALE FOREST 
SCHOOL, — 
The senior class of the Yale Forest 
School left for Pike County, Penn., for 
their annual spring tour of duty in the 
woods, April 22, and will remain until 
Commencement, June 29. There are- 35 
men in the class who will graduate in 
June. The party will work under the di- 
rection of Prof. Graves, director of the 
school, and Prof. Marston, in charge of 
Forest Engineering. Mr. Austin Cary, 
forester of the Berlin Mills Company, who 
is the oldest practicing forester in this 
country, will assist in the instruction. 
The men will make a topographical map 
and a plan for the management and pro- 
tection of a forest tract in Pike county, 
besides doing a large amount of special 
scientific work. 
The class of two years ago spent the 
spring term on the forest estate of Mr. E. 
H. Harriman in Orange county, New 
York, and made a plan for the manage- 
445 
ment of its 15,000 acres. Last spring the 
class did a like piece of work on the U. 
S. Military Academy Forest Reservation 
at West Point. 

U. S. BUREAU OF FORESTRY NOTES. 
Nearly all the field men of the Bureau 
of Forestry are still in Washington, work- 
ing on the reports for which they secured 
data last season. It is not likely that any 
forestry parties will be sent out until the 
first of July. The distribution of the men 
for this summer’s work is a mystery, owing 
to the fact that there is a possibility the 
Bureau may be called on to take charge of 
the forest reserves, in which case it will 
have to withdraw its attention somewhat 
from private land work and concentrate its 
energy on the big problem. 
The appropriation this year by Congress, 
for the Bureau, will be $425,140, about $75,- 
ooo more than last year’s allotment. 
GENEALOGY. 
Gc H. 
When og swine with the devils inside, 
tra la, 
Went galloping down to the sea; 
The legion was properly mad, tra la, 
As angry as devils could be. 
They ripped and they swore, 
And their raven locks tore, 
And vengeance most dire 
They vowed in their ire 
They'd wreak on the fish in the sea, tra la, 
They’d wreak on the fish in the sea. 
So they grabbed each an armful of 
bristles, tra la, 
From the backs of the porkers so mad, 
And carried off all the swine tricks, 
tra la, 
The hogs so unfortunate had. 
They took them on land, 
Fixed them up to stand, 
And shouted in glee 
On the shore by the sea: 
“A brand new creation we’ve made, tra la, 
A brand new creation we’ve made, 
Then the head devil spoke in command, 
tra: ia 
To this monster the evil ones made: 
“You are now to go forth to destroy, 
tra la, 
And murder henceforth is your trade, 
No law you'll obey 
In the night or the day, 
But just sail in and kill 
All the fish that you will, 
And the first of ‘the fish hogs you'll be, 
tra la, 
The first of the fish hogs you'll be.” 
And from so minute a beginning, tra la, 
The fish hog has spread in the land. 
His brother, the game hog, is here, tra la, 
Like twins they are seen hand in hand. 
But there is a big pen 
No respecter of men, 
And a numbering brand 
Held by Coquina’s hand! 
Here’s hoping he'll keep the iron hot, tra la, 
Here’s hoping he'll keep the iron hot. 
“Folks say you only married me because 
I have money.’ 
“Nonsense ! 
My principal 
reason for 
marrying you was because I had none.”
