ing anything from forty upward is by im¬ 
pressing them with your justice and firmness. 
The native does not understand indulgence. If 
you make him a concession to-day he will 
demand to-morrow as a right what he received 
as a favor to-day. Realize that he is incapable 
of any forethought. Never give him at any 
one time more than, say, three days’ rations. 
If you are confiding enough to supply him with 
food to last for, say, a week, .at the end of the 
third day he will have eaten the whole of it, 
and on the fourth day he will be starving—a 
state of affairs that will upset your com¬ 
missariat arrangements, especially if you are 
traveling through a district where food is 
scarce. During the rains and until the meals 
are sufficiently grown to be eatable food is 
generally scarce, and in some districts unob¬ 
tainable. This is owing to the native, with his 
usual lack of forethought, neglecting to grow 
sufficiently large crops during one season to 
feed him in comfort until the next crop is ripe. 
Never allow your carriers to discuss with you 
the length of the march to be made in any one 
day, or you will find that the march you pro¬ 
pose is much too long, at least in theirestima- 
tion. If possible, secure a good capitao, or 
foreman, and always confirm his orders. It 
will save you from a host of petty troubles. 
Many of the above suggestions may sound 
trivial, but if they are followed it is surprising 
the difference that they will make in the com¬ 
fort of a shooting trip and in assisting to ward 
off fever-—the enemy always to be guarded 
against if the trip is to be successful and en¬ 
joyable. 
CALIFORNIA’S BIG TREES. 
By the terms of the approved Act of Con¬ 
gress to establish the Calaveras National Forest 
in California, four thousand acres of land will 
be acquired and upon these acres are 1,473 big 
sequoia trees, famous throughout the world. 
Acquisition of this forest land represents nine 
years of effort by the women of California, 
backed by the American Civic Association, to 
interest the national Government in the conser¬ 
vation of the grove. 
In addition to the giant sequoias there are 
hundreds of sugar pines and yellow pings of 
enormous growth in the two groves included 
in the latest national forest. Some of these 
trees rise to a height of 275 feet and are eight 
to ten feet in diameter. There are ten sequoias 
in the north grove, each having a diameter of 
twenty-five feet or more. There are seventy 
with diameters ranging from fifteen to twenty- 
five feet. Some of them have been named for 
famous generals and others for various States 
in the Union. 
As an evidence of the enormous growth of 
these big trees, “Massachusetts” contains 118,000 
hoard feet of lumber. This is as much lumber 
as ordinarily is grown upon fifteen acres of 
timber land. The bark is six inches to two feet 
thick. 
LUMBERMEN TO AID IN FOREST CON¬ 
SERVATION. 
The interest being taken by practical lumber¬ 
men in the conservation of the forests was illus¬ 
trated at the semi-annual meeting of the Yellow 
Pine Manufacturers’ Association which was re¬ 
cently held in Chicago. The report of the com¬ 
mittee on the conservation of the yellow pme 
forests received much attention and was adopted 
unanimously. 
Among the chief recommendations made by 
the committee in its report was for the cutting 
by lumbermen of their timber by two operations, 
with an interval of from fifteen to twenty years, 
the ripe timber being removed during the first 
cutting, and to leave from 2,500 to 3 > 00 ° ‘ ee *- 
of standing timber on each acre. 
The association also adopted the recommenda¬ 
tion of the committee providing for the appoint¬ 
ment of a committee with power to act and to 
expend funds to co-operate with the Forest 
Service on matters of education, forest fires and 
taxation.
