CHATHAM’S WHITE ROBIN. 
Tue noted white robin that has attracted the 
attention of summer visitors here for the last 
three years is dead, says the Chatham, N. J., cor- 
Jrespondent of the Times. It was found recently 
on one of the lawns of a Fairmount avenue resi- 
idence. The bird was buried by the little girl 
who found it. 
The robin made its appearance here about three 
years. ago, and attracted attention immediately 
!because it had a white breast instead of a red, 
jand its wings were dotted with white. Other 
»than these peculiar markings the bird was a fine 
‘example of the robin species. 
Persons who watched the bird soon discovered 
‘that it was a pariah, and that when it approached 
|dwellings to partake of crumbs it was rudely 
driven away by the other birds. As soon as this 
|was learned, residents of the “hill” section took 
,care to give the white robin a good share of 
food. 
| After the white robin had spent two seasons 
at this place he gained an ascendency over his 
|bird enemies by becoming the dominant figure 
jamong a large coterie of robins, whose plumage 
was also marked with white. None of them, 
jhowever, have the distinctive white breast of 
‘the original white robin.

GRAZING LANDS IN NATIONAL 
: FORESTS. 
In its investigations for the improvement of 
grazing lands within the national forests carried 
on during the past year, the forest service has 
‘found that the ranges on some of the forests can- 
not be fully utilized by stock because of a lack 
of a proper water supply. Plans have been made 
for bettering these conditions as rapidly as pos- 
\sible. 
Work to improve the water supply on the 
national forest ranges will be started this year 
on the Leadville national forest in Colorado, and 
ithe Tumacacori national forest in Arizona, and 
\before the coming of another grazing season a 
number of ranges will be improved very mater- 
lally. 
On the Leadville forest the forest officers will 
clean out and protect twelve different springs 
jand pipe the water into troughs. The work on 
the Tumacacori forest in Arizona will be some- 
jwhat more extensive, although it will be con- 
fined to the improvement of the supply of only 
half as many springs as on the Colorado forest. 
This method of cleaning out and protecting 
springs and other watering places will result in 
much benefit to stockmen grazing on the strips 
of ranges within the forests. Improvement work 
ilong the same general lines will also be begun 
jan other national forests.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may be 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it was 
successful in his own experience, being here set forth 
simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effective 
with others,
