of their forests. The same policy will achieve 
even better results in the United States, because 
we have the advantage of all the lessons which 
Europe has learned and paid for in the course 
of a century of theory and practice. 
Lest it might be assumed that the rapid and 
gaining depletion of American forest resources 
is sufficiently accounted for by the increase of 
population, it is pointed out in the circular that 
the increase in population since 1880 is barely 
more than half the increase in lumber 
the same period. Two areas supplying timber 
have already reached and passed their maxi- 
num production—the Northeastern States in 1870 
and the Lake States in 1890. To-day the South- 
ern States. which cut yellow pine amounting to 
one-third the total annual lumber cut of the 
country, are undoubtedly near their maximum, 
The Pacific States will soon take the ascendency. 
The State of Washington within a few years has 
come to the front and now ranks first of all 
individual States in volume of cut. 
At present but one-fifth of the total area of 
the United. States is embraced in National 
Forests. The remaining four-fifths have already 
passed or are most likely to pass into private 
hands. The average age of the trees felled for 
lumber this year is not less than 150 years. In 
other words, if he is to secure a second crop of 
the same size, the lumberman or private forest 
Owner must wait, say, at least one hundred years 
for the second crop to grow. As a rule, such 
long-time investments as this wafting would in- 
volve do not commend themselves to business 
men who are accustomed to quick returns. But 
the States and the Nation can look much further 
ahead. The larger, then, the area of National 
and State control over woodlands, the greater is 
the likelihood that the forests of the country will 
be kept permanently productive. 

SENECA FARMERS AND WARRIORS. 
THe New York State paleontologist’s depart- 
ment has been advised of a curious find’ lately 
made at Conesus Lake, an Indian arrow stand 
having been discovered on the farm of Miss 
Luna McMillan, at the head of that body of 
water. Several hundred arrow and spear heads 
and innumerable chips have been already picked 
up within a few hundred feet of the spot. To 
the relic hunter an arrow stand means a place 
to which Indians repaired to make their arrow 
heads. Flint would be collected and brought to 
that point, and a number of Indians would be 
delegated to do the work of fashioning out the 
points for the entire tribe. A number of those 
interested in collecting arrow heads have gone 
Over the ground and are of the opinion that it 
must have been a stand for the red man for 
many years. 
There are two varieties of arrow heads. one 
being diamond shaped and intended for shoot- 
. Ing game, and the other sharply barbed and used 
in war, and a surprising circumstance about the 
discovery is a large proportion of war points. 
-art of the arrow stand is covered by the woods 
at McMillan’s, and the other half is in the open 
field. When the whites first settled in what is 
now Livingston county there was a large and 
thriving Indian community. at Conesus, and 
many traces of the savages still remain. Every 
evidence tends to show that they made the land 
now covered by McMillan’s 600 acre farm a 
favorite place of sojourn. 
The Indian trail leading dowr from the east 
hill still remains, some of the oldest trees even 
showing scars on their bark where the path had 
been marked by frequent blazing. There is also 
what remains of an old Indian graveyard not far 
distant. Perhaps one of the most interesting 
remnants of the life of the aborigines is shown 
in the numerous stunted pear and apple trees 
located on uncultivated points along the swampy 
flats, these trees marking the spots where the 
Indians raised their fruit. It is a matter of 
history that the Senecas thoroughly understood 
grafting, and the old chronicles state that at the 
time of the advent of the seftlers there was 
nothing in which the numerous Indians com- 
munities in this section took more interest than 
their orchards and grain fields. The settlers, in
