During May of last year meet ings were held at the White House in Washington for the purpose of promoting the conservation of our natural resources. These meetings were attended by many of our lead ing statesmen, scientists aud cap tains of industry. In the opening address the President said: "We began with an unapproach ed heritage of forests; more than half the timber is gone. We began with coal fields more extensive than those of any other nation, aud with iron ores regarded as inexhaustible, and many experts now declare that the end of both coal and iron is in sight." The ultimate failure of the sup plies of iron and coal is not mere of a menace to the future of our na tion than the gradual destruction of the soil by floods and freshets and its exhaustion by improper methods of farming. We derive most of our food trom the fields and the streams, from the garden, the orchard and the forest. The want of fuel may be supplied by the use of water power to generate electricity that can be changed into light, heat and motive power. On he other hand, it takes decades of growth to reproduce an orchard, or a forest, and ten thousand years to form soil a foot in depth. It is claimed that forests help to condense the vapors of the sky into ..'louds and rainfall. They surely aid in regulating the flow of the vvater in our streams and rivers, tnd in lessening the size aud fre mencyofthe floods Mid freshets vhich carry off silt and soil and hereby diminish the fertility ol .he land. The value of trees for shade, for 'jeauty, for fuel, for timber and for ther economic purposes should be mphasized by every teacher.

The popular Western melodrama, "Billy, The Kid," which will be the next attraction at the Columbia Theatre, Thursday, October 7, has been seen several times during past seasons in New York and is said to have proven eminently satisfactory to the melodramatic audiences who have seen it. The plot of the story revolves about Billy, whose father has been murdered. Billy lakes an cath to avenge his death and in the ensuing complications becomes an outlaw. There is much good comedy introduced to lighten up the more strenuous portions of the plot, and a pretty love story runs through the entire four acts. The scenic settings are unique in the naturalness represented, and the supporting company is highly spok en of. B. R. Yetter Injured. While hauling heavy pipe for the Tide Water Pipe Line near Bran donville on Wednesday, Boyd Yelter's wagon upset cu aside hill, and he was pinione'l down by the pipes. Fellow workmen soon re leased nim, and he was taken to his home at Mainville, about 12 miles from the place of the accident, in C. W. McKclvy's automobile, which happened along at the time. Mr. Yetter's legs are badly bruised, but no bones are broken. A fine new line of Weddinc in vitations just received at thisotfice.

Nothing else It to The Zoological Presi Bulletin of the Division of Zoology, Penn sylvania Department of Agricul tuie. Timely Topics of Plants and Pests Discussed Weekly. P,y H. A. Surface, State Zoologist. lCAKLY DAMAGK To TRICKS 15 Y r An il its. A fruit grower of southern Penn sylvania, who planted an apple or chard last spring, wrote to Prof. II. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Ilar risburg, that for the past two months rabbits have been "bark ing" the trees, and some of the trees have betn already seriously injured, lie asked for a "sclu tion" that could b; rubbed on the trees to stop further damage, and inquired as to the merits of gas tar for that purpose. lie said that one of his neighbors had it. ed grease or tallow with success. Professor Surface answered as follows: "Replying to your iicnt letter, I beg to say that u is unusual for rabbits to peel trees at this time of year, bu: 1 am satisfied that the metlio.Is of preventing this destruc tion during the winter would be ef ficient and safe no . v. Among these are the following, stated in the or der of preference by myself: 1. Painting with while lead and raw linseed oil, made as thick as house paint. 2. Painting or spraying with the boiled lime-sulfur wash con taining considerable sedi ment. 3. Rubbing the trees with tallow, blood, of a lrtshly killed rab bit, or the entrails of any animal. 4. Protecting by means of wire netting. 5. Use of poison, traps, dogs and gun. "As a matter of fact, Number 5 should be combined with any one of the others, During the winter rab bits will often leave the trunks of trees alone if freshly cut branches are dropped on the ground where they can not fail to get them. I do not know if thi would work in summer, but recommend a trial. "A gentleman has just written to me that he used coal tar success fully for borers, but did not state the kind of trees on which he used it. I am seeking further informa tion on the subject. If coal tar or gas did not injure his trees, it wculd be effective in preventing damage by borers and rabbits, but I do net think it is safe to recom mend this as a preventive, for, in my opinion, there is some danger of damage to the trees, excepting under unusually favorable condi tions. I once saw what was for merly a nice orchard that had been killed by the application of mixed tar and linseed oil." BLIGHT ON QUINCE TREKS. A letter was received at the Di vision of Zoology of the Pennsylva nia Department of Agriculture, in reference to the "blight" that at tacks quince, pear, apple, and oth er trees, but especially the two first mentioned. The letter was worded as follows: "For a number of years we have grown quinces, and almost every season we have noticed the ends of a considerable number of the branches that are blighted. This year it has been so to a considerable extent, and we find that it occurs with other folks than ourselves. Will you please be kind enough to let us have some information in re gard to the subject?" State Zoologist Surface replied, saying: "This no doubt is due to a plant disease known as Fire Blight, Twig Blight, Black Blight. Pear Blight, and other names. It is a bacterial disease and exists within the twigs. It can not, therefore, be destroyed by sprays because external applica tions will not reach it. It is neces sary to cut off the blighted parts, being sure to cut off some distance, or at least one-half foot, below the blighted portion, and gather the twigs thus removed and burn them, occasionally dipping the knife into some disinfecting material, like di lute formalin solution or turpentine, in order to sterilize it and prevent the possibility of carrying the blight germs from one twig to another. You may find some blighted spots in the bark, nn'd these likewise should I e cut out a:;d washed with turpentine or paint. "This disease infects the quince, apple and pear, aud in some places is ve-y destructive. As it can not be cured in the sense of actually curing a branch that is blighted, it is necessary to prevent its spread by the method' here given. It is important to look over all such trees with blighted twigs and ic uiove them nt this season of the year, before the leaves fall, as they can be more easily found now than during the winter. It is probable that Blight spreads most in the early spring when the sap commences to ooze from tbe broken or injured bark, and is doubtless carried by insects of va rious kinds that would carry the sap from one place to another. It is certainly evident that it may sometimes enter the flowers, having probably been cariied to the flowers by Hies, wasps, bees, ants, etc., from blighted portions of the birk, where the diseased or infected sap was flowing, and from which it was carried by the insects. It is possi ble to control this disease by prom pi attention to cutting out the branch es that have b en attacked and burning them, being careful to sterilize the pruning knife occa sionally," ... . . ... - - - Elvell's Conco.f, Thoatre and Dance Orchestra.

Yarn Will Cut Steel. Yarn, with powdered stone, can cut a steel bar. Major McClaughry, warden of the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., once found a prisoner who was supposed to be pounding stone working away at one of tho bars to an outside window. The man was induced to give a dem onstration. A grating of the same description was placed In his cell and a guard stationed over him to watch tho cutting process. With the lime stone dust and silicate from the stone pile, tho yarn from his sock and a little water, the man cut tho bessem er steel bar In eighteen working hours. With some lino emery, a chalk line and two woojen hand holds to save his fingers he maf.e a clean cut of the other bos-'erafr bar in five horns.
