Forestry. — Sixteenth Annual Report 
of the Forestry Commissioner (former- 
ly Chief Fire Warden) of Minnesota. 
For the year 1910. Gen. C. C. Andrews' 
report discusses the forest fire problem 
and offers a number of recommenda- 
tions of value, especially one regarding 
the enforcement of forest fire laws. 
The report contains the new forestry 
law, which appropriates $75,000 annual- 
ly for each of the next two fiscal years 
for the forest service and which au- 
thorizes the appointment of a State 
Forester by the Forestry Board, he to 
appoint an assistant forester, and which 
abolishes the town fire warden system. 
It also contains sketches of forestry in 
twenty European countries, and a num- 
ber of illustrations. It appears that 
the proposed amendment to the consti- 
tution for a tax of one-fifteenth of a 
mill for reforestation received 100,168 
votes, but lacked 55,010 votes of being 
adopted.

Don’t Hoe Weeds 
When you cut or pull a weed you 
simply get rid of that one — and not 
even that unless you get the root. 
You don’t get those just ready to pop 
out of the ground. 
And, besides it’s too slow and hard to keep 
walks and drives clear of grass and weeds 
that way. 
HERBICIDE 
The Weed Exterminator 
is easy to apply and repels the growth of 
vegetation for years. 
It makes no difference whether the weeds 
and grass are in crushed stone, macadam, 
gravel or dirt roads and gutters, one applica- 
tion will surely kill them and leave the road 
or gutter clean. For at least two years and 
often for five, not a weed or spear of grass 
will appear on the surfaces treated with 
Herbicide, as it kills the fertility of the soil as 
well as the weeds. 
Invaluable for Parks, Cemeteries, and Large 
Estates. 
One gallon of Herbicide and forty gallons of 
water applied with any kind of sprinkling de- 
vice will keep 200 feet of a 5-foot path clean 
of weeds for years. Sold in 
5 gallon casks $5.50 10 gallon casks $10.00 
48 gallon bbls. $35.00, F.O.B. New York City

r 1 ■'HIS work should appeal strongly to all of those interested 
1 in ornamental concrete as the author has taken up and ex- 
plained in detail in a most practical manner the various 
methods of casting concrete into ornamental shapes. The au- 
thor has taken for granted that the reader knows nothing what- 
ever about the material and has explained each progressive step 
in the various operations throughout in detail. These directions 
have been supplemented with half-tones and line illustrations 
which are so clear that no one can misunderstand them.
