important legislation with reference to the forests of onr 

 national domain. 



C). The ForestTy Burean, as a branch of the Agi'icultural De- 

 partment at Washington, has collected valuable material in 

 furtherance of the knowledge of our forest condition, in addi- 

 tion to Prof. C. S. Sargent's invaluable woi-k of the census of 

 1880. 



7. While the publications of a "Journal of Foresti-y," "For- 

 estry Bulletins," "Forestry Manuals," "Forestry Reports," 

 have tried to furnish the ne"eded special information, the press 

 throughout tlm country, in all its branches, has done good 

 work in creating a wide-spread interest and a growing readi- 

 ness for action. " 



Yet, while the need of a change of poUcy is admitted, the 

 means of accompJisliing that change are still inadequate. 

 Specific aims and methoils yet remain undetermined. Here 

 is a great problem of national economy worthy the thought 

 and active aid of the best men of the nation ! Here is a duty 

 for every thinking and well-meaning citizen, to help preserve 

 and hand over to our children, in fuU productive power, one 

 of our richest natural resources— nay, the most potent factor 

 of national prosperity ! Here is the opportunity to exercise 

 that duty, in joining those who have begun to open the road 

 to reform! Change of public sentiment is needed, and such a 

 change can only be elfected by the united effort of the best 

 elements. We heed the strongest utterances of the most influ- 

 ential men; we desire the co-operation of every good citizen in 

 the unselfish work which we have undertaken. 



The discussions wdl be conducted as far as possible under 

 the following heads: 



(-.4.) Importance of Forests in Climatic and Hydraulic re- 

 spects, and in regard to other Industries. 



(B.) Duties and Rights of the State to protect her Forest Re- 

 sources. 



(C.) Forest Fires; Causes; Laws and Methods for their Re- 

 striction. 



(jD.) Education and Research in Forestry Matters; Arbor 

 Days; Schools; Lectures; Exhibits; Experiment Stations; 

 Press; Associations. 



(E.) Practical Forestry— Prospects, Methods, Profits, etc.

POT LUCK FROM EXCHANGES. 



A Lake Keiika trout was sold at Penn Yan recently, the 

 weight of which was thirteen pounds. Soon after it was left 

 at the ma»ket it was opened, and a quantity of gravel stones 

 were taken from its stomach. They had been forced thi-ough 

 its mouth, and added a pound and a half to the weight of the 

 fish. 



It is said by old prospectors that there is not a moun- 

 tain peak in Colorado on the tip-top of which there is not a 

 tin can. Tourist and mountain climbers Lave a habit of tak- 

 ing up with them a tin can, to be left at the summit for the 

 disposition on slips of paper of the names of aU who ascend 

 the mountain after them. 



A few of the brethren at an Old Orchard camp meeting 

 thouglit a blue flannel shirt on a minister smacked of impiety, 

 according to a correspondent of the Morning Star. But 

 some of the best preachers at the meeting bag lots of ducks 

 and snipe for their dinner and are mighty fishers of the cunner 

 and rock cod between sei-mons. The Star correspondent per- 

 tinently remarks that starched clothing and starched manners 

 are not necessary to the enjoyment of religion. The clergy- 

 man who seemed to be enjoying his religion most of any the 

 writer has seen this summer, stood on a wharf in Boothbay 

 Harbor, in his shirt sleeves and an old hat, led the "Rah- rah- 

 rahs" as the steamer left the landing, and yelled "blow yer 

 old whistle" to the Captain in high glee— and the Captain

' 'If the original forest of the States of Indiana and Ohio 

 were standing to-day," says a lumber buyer, "their valuation 

 would be many times greater than are the farms which they 

 are sacrificed to improve. In making their farms the S3t- 

 tlers in those States destroyed millions and millions of dollars' 

 worth of black walnut. Miles and miles of fence are laid 

 with black-walnut rails. One old farmer says that only thirty 

 years ago he began making his farm, and that he had worked 

 eight years in clearing it of ihe walnut timber, eighty acres 

 of which he burned up. After thirty years of cultivation the 

 farm is worth .fS.OOO. If it had its walnut timber back it 

 would be worth moi-e than .$100,000. This farmer is only one 

 among thousands who for years girdled, cut and burned the 

 great forest they found occupying the land."— jFerrj, CottJiiy

Having been the pioneers in the manufacture and introduction of Section Bamboo Rods, we have always 

 taken great pride in securing and perfecting every improvement in order to maintahi our position as the makers of 

 the very best rods. Knowing not only theoretically, but also by long experience, that a properly made round rod

MARK section rods. While our prices for these round rods are only a trifle more than the prices asked by

 manner. 



"We have just finished and put on the market a new caliber round rod, 10 feet long, and weighing with the solid 

 reel seat only 7 ounces. This rod has stood the most severe tests, and found capable of killing the largest black 

 many expert anglers who have handled this rod pronounce it the best balanced and most perfect rod in the market.
