view to his preservation and safety. Despite 
these commendable precautions he was slaugh¬ 
tered a short time afterward, and that within 
the boundaries of the county of Inverness. 
Every genus or species belonging to the animal 
kingdom produces an occasional, albino, the phe¬ 
nomenon being probably due to inbreeding. The 
birth of a white fawn in a forest is never in¬ 
dicative of good management on the part of 
the proprietor. Only a small proportion of the 
so-called white deer are perfectly white, the 
greater number being merely ashy-gray. Sir 
Walter Scott embellishes his “sylvan hall” in 
the “Lady of the Lake” with 
Deer skins, dappled, dun and white. 
Sir Arthur Bignold, of Lochrosque, who owns 
splendid forests stocked with red deer, fallow 
deer and roe, received a number of Japanese 
deer about twenty years ago from the late Lord 
Powerscourt, and turned them out at Achanault, 
Ross-shire. Here they thrived and multiplied 
as well as could be wished, and they soon pro¬ 
ceeded to extend their geographical range with 
great enterprise and courage. This season speci¬ 
mens of the sprightly breed were to be en¬ 
countered in almost every forest in Ross-shire, 
even along the western seaboard. The females 
are very prolific and usually produce a. fawn 
every year. The males take up occasionally 
with the native red hinds, but the general opin-| 
ion is that the red male and the Asiatic. female! 
never interbreed. The . Japanese deer is, cer-^ 
tainly, a welcome addition to our list of wild 
animals, and every proprietor will be only too 
glad to grant it the freedom of his forest.—

FOREST IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE OF j 
NATION. 
“More thorough knowledge of actual. forest 
conditions has brought a wide realization of 
the importance of the forest in the life of the 
nation,” says Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in speak¬ 
ing of the progress of forestry for the last year 
in the Year Book of the Department of Agri¬ 
culture. 
“Enough is now known to make imperative 
a complete change in the methods of -forest 
use, and the ways in which this change mav 
best be brought about are discussed with, equal 
interest by the specialist and the man in th^ 
street. 
“National welfare, as well as individual com¬ 
fort, is seen to be dependent upon forest con¬ 
servation. To this better knowledge and surer 
insight is mainly due the progress which for¬ 
estry has made in the past year. . 
“Unprecedented forest fires served 'a similat 
purpose, so that the lesson which they taught 
in spite of its terrific cost, will probably pay 'for 
itself. With a unanimity never before paralleled 
the people of the country are demanding that 
a stop be put to forest waste and destruction 
“The more striking lines of advancement ir 
forestry in 1908 were the following: 
“(1) Through appropriate educational chan¬ 
nels, public interest in forest problems was se¬ 
cured more directly and effectively than ever 
before. Especially valuable was the work begur 
in the schools, from the primary grades to the 
colleges. The press aided materially in making 
clear the need and purpose of forest conserva- 
tion. 
“(2) The management of the national for¬ 
ests was more scientific, and at the. same time 
more satisfactory from a business point of view 
and more useful to the public, than ever before 
“(3) The States displayed a keener interest 
and "a livelier activity in forest matters, and 
State Legislatures either passed or considered 
bills in which advanced provisions were mad( 
for forest protection from fire and unjust tax¬ 
ation and for regulating the use of privatf 
forest property in the interest of the publii 
welfare. 
“(4) A partial census taken among privati 
forest owners furnished proof that the practice 
of private forestry is extending more ranidh 
than was supposed, particularly amonc thos< 
who in their business are themselves users oi 
forest products.”
