No More Fascinating School in the Land. Theoretical and Practical Forestry In the Appalachian Forests Carolina's Timber Cruisers How Boys From Maine to Cali fornia, Rich and Poor, Live and Play and Work on the Wonderful Biltmore Estate. Day Allen Wllley, In St. Nicholas! ' Ud In the heart of the great Ap palacblan forest ia a little colony of young Americans who can truly be called woodsmen, for they are living and working amid the woodland to gain tuch a knowledge of the tree that they can earn a livelihood from their skill in what the scientists call forestry. The geography tells us In a general way that our forests are among our greatest resources, on the maps of many States you will find here and there big black or darkened Hatches that are marked "forests. These patches are especially notice able on the mapB of such States as Washington and Oregon, In the Pa cific region, and Minnesota, Wiscon sin and Michigan, in what we usually term the Northwest. But turn to North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, and here you will see the patches that the geography notes as the forests. of the Appalachian Moun tains. Yes, the woods of America are one of Its greatest sources of benefit to us, for in a single year the lumber that is sawed from the trees, the fuel tbat comes from them for our fires, the wood pulp made Into paper, the telegraph poles, the bark covering that goes into leather and acids are some of the items that pay the Nation a revenue of nearly a billion and a quarter of dollars. Why, the fagots and kindling which heat our homes and cook our food amount to over ono-tblrd of a billion dollars alone. Just the beams, planks and shingles that are cut in the 25,000 mills re aulre forty billion "board" feet an nually. So It is that a great army Is employed in our woods Just to handle the ax and the saw in the timber in dustry. Such have been their inroads that really enormous tracts of forest have been stripped. The lumbering has been done recklessly and waste fully, without regard to caring for the young trees. Often the tlmbermen have left great stumps to rot and de cay, so that fully a third of the value of the woodland thus "cut over" has been wasted. About twenty years ago a New York millionaire went down among the highlands of North Carolina. So pleased was he with the scenery, the climate and other attractions of na ture, that here he determined to have his home, and, cutting oft the top of a mountain, he built a mansion, which, with the grounds surrounding it, forms what Is probably the most beautiful country seat in America. Well, It ought to be, considering the millions he spent in laying out boule vards, landscape gardens and other vistas, but the story of how George Vanderbllt created Biltmore Is too long to be told here, and Is referred to because if he had not been drawn into the wilderness, this article would probably have never been written. The wilderness, the bigness of the woodland, fascinated him as it has other nature lovers. He wanted to preserve it, ye.t to make it of use, and to retain Its beauty, so he began adding forest after forest to his es tate, until ho Is now the actual lord over a domain that comprises 200 square miles of hill and valley, much of which is tree covered. It includes Mount Pisgah, which juts up above the clouds to a height of over a mile above the level of the sea. After he had secured this little empire, the question that arose was how he could best make It serve his purposes. Tlm bermen say that if all the good trees were cut off to-day, Mr. Vanderbllt would get so much money for the lumber that he would be far more that repaid for the cost of the land, because the forest Is so dense In many places. But he wants to keep the wooc'tand "growing perpetually," yet make it pay for itself and yield enough money yearly to meet the ex pense of fencing it, with taxes and other outlay. Thus it Is that the "Biltmore Rangers," as they may be called, have a working ground, yet a playground, which Is unlike that pos sessed by any other set of youngsters in the world. Here .they live the sort of life that appeals to the boy who has good red blood In his veins, for it Is a life in the open, where the tree, the bush, the leaf and blossom are dally giving him knowledge of woodcraft; where the mountain chal lenges him to ascend it; where he is continually in the midst of the air and sunshine of the hill country. No wonder boys have come here from homes from Maine to California, as these Rangers are a national organ ization, numbering few from the sur rounding country. They are here, as stated, to learn of the tree Its growth, its value, but they are also gaining an Invaluable knowledge of nature In genoral and an ac quaintance with the great outdoors, which is just as beneficial. Every month In the year there Is something to do at Biltmore. Even In the winter they are busy in the opeu, for . between November and April their headquarters are in Bilt more village, laid out by the founder of the estate like a model English town, on the outskirts Is a forest of 8000 acres, which you will find divides Into 6ver twelve square miles. Krom this conies a third of the fuel burned by the city of Ashevllle. Here the boys study the trees beat suited for fire wood, the way to handle the ax for felling them, how to saw and pile cordwood, also to cal culate how. much fuel wood Is con tained In an acre of standing timber -an easy task when you know how. In and about this forest are stretches of old farm lands abandoned by the former owners because regarded as worthless, but the young woodsmen have proved that they are fit for tree growing. Part of their duties Is the "reforesting," as It Is called, of this bare solL They set out ash, cherry and other hard woods found oa the estate, and during the first year thus turned a hundred acres lata a tree plantation. When this "crop- is ready to cut, the value of the wood will be so much as to well repay the time, labor and expense of reforest ing. The firewood Industry is so profit able because those who burn "Bilt more wood" can always rely on get ting the kind that gives the most heat, as It Is the product of a scien tifically conducted woodyard. With the April days the young for esters pack their Instruments, tools and clothes, mount their ponies and trail through the wilderness to the foothills of Pisgah. Here they get among the tan-bark trees, and for a month or so they work In peeling oft the bark, figuring on how much bark a tree will yield, packing the bark for shipment, also in analyzing such wood as chestnut, which contains a valuable sap used for chemical prep arations. In a year the boys "har vest" 1500 tons of tan-bark, which goes Into tanuic acid nt an Ashevllle factory. With the middle of May camp Is again "struck," and the party go farther Into the wild until they are miles away from even the border of civilization. Here they are woods men in truth. Under the shadow of old Pisgah they are amid the pri meval forest. They become timber "cruisers," which means that they go through a tract, estimating the quan tity of hardwood and other lumber it contains, without cutting down a tree. Scaling the trunk of a big oak or pine, the young forester measures Its girth. at different heights, the thick nesB of the limbs worth sawing, and notes them In his book. If a tree is blown down, he can tell by examina tion how much Is good and how much is decayed. His surveying instru ments give him ground measure ments, heights and grades, so that after a "cruise" he can map down an acre or a hundred-acre "stand" and tell you not only how many board feet it contains, but the varieties of wood and what it is worth at the market price. The ranger at Biltmore learns the business of the logger cutting down trees and hauling them from the for est; also another important branch of the industry of the forest that of the mill worker, for the boys keep two sawmills whirring and humming while they are in the PlEgah foothills. They become familiar with the handling of logs on the deck and on the carriage; they compare the actual output of logs with the output as des ignated by the various log rules, and they grade the lumber as it comes from the saw. By actual practice, they know how boards are piled and how the piles are arranged in the yard. They are required to show by charts and drawings how each ma chine In the mill works and Its rela tion to other machines. When a mill is moved from one point to another they aid in taking down the ma chinery ond in setting it up in its new poeltion, thus gaining an intimate knowledge of the mechanical opera tion of a mill. Between five and ten miles of road are built In Pisgah Forest annually. These roads are surveyed and laid out by Its guardians. In this connection they also acquire a knowledge of bridge-bulldlng. The building of tramroads and making of log chutes sometimes comes within their experi ence. They have frequent exercise In running compass lines, in establishing boundaries, and In making plane table surveys. For ten years American boys have thus been studying In this school of the wild.. Already it has shown Its value to the Nation, for not a few of those who have left it are serving the country in our great national parks and other forest reserves where the Government is protecting the wood land. GlfTord Plnchot, the present chief of the Forest Service, spent two years amid the Appalachians, but ably filling his place are Dr. Carlos Schenck and Dr. Clifton Howe, to whom the owner of Biltmore has in trusted his woodland, and who are at the head of his unique colony of active American boys In the Carolina overland. The effect tbat such schools of na ture will have upon the future of our country can only be hinted at, consid ering the great necessity for more knowledge about our woodland, es pecially the way by which we can make It a permanent benefit to tV.S Nation. In May, 1908, there gath ered, at the White House a group of the most notable men who have ver assembled In Washington. They were called together by President Roose velt to discuss the best methods of "conserving" our national resources. Governors of States, authorities on farming, lumbering, irrigation, com merce and other great public ques tions, gave their opinions on how the Nation Is literally wasting Its sub stance, and explained their plans for stopping this national extravagance. During the conference It was ad mitted that one of our greatest needs was a knowledge of forestry, of which the great masses of the people are so densely Ignorant. In fact, this was one of the chief subjects for discus-, slon, and was one of tho main reasons why President Roosevelt called the congress. How he regarded the neces sity of woodcraft Is best shown by quoting his own words, uttered as far back as five years ago: "The forest problem Is In many ways the most vital Internal problem of the United States. The very ex IstencQ of lumbering the fourth great Industry of the United States depends upon the success of our work as a nation In putting practical for estry into effective operation. The United States is exhausting Its forest supplies far more rapidly than they are being produced. The one remedy Is the Introduction of practical for estry on r lnrfre scale." So it Is that in the mountain South land an illustration ia shown of tho truth of Mr. Roosevelt's words, and here young Americans are being edu cated for the work which he bo em phatically said must l9 done. As we have said, they have come to Carolina all the way from Maine to California, but they also include the rich as well as the poor. The son of the million aire does not hesitate to put on the sweater and the blouse, to handle the saw as well as the tape and transit, side by side with the boy who has gone into the wilderness because forced by fortune to choose some career to support himself. iWORTU KffOWINGlJ Hair grows at the rate of three milllontbs of a yard per second.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Reports from the principal Indus trial and mercantile centers are of an encouraging nature, and even the long delay In tariff readjustment and the new controversy over the prop osition to levy a tax on the net earntngs of corporations do not seem to hold in check the Improvement in business conditions. The Improve ment, though based upon many sound economic conditions, is un doubtedly facilitated by the ease of money, which also in part explains the prevailing tendency toward high prices. Hot weather Is stimulating tho distribution of seasonable mer chandise. Brad st reefs says: Improvement is more manifest this week, the mainspring of this be ing better weather and crop reports Bnd further expansion in the vol ume of industlnl operations. Retail reports are still rather irregular, e ceHslve heat being credited with re tarding distribution in some sec tions, but, on the whole, sales of summer good3 have been benefited by more seasonable temperatures.

There Is a tendency to overrate the danger to children from milk from tuberculosis cattle was the decided view expressed In the section of tu berculosis In children of the National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis. The sub ject was exhaustively treated In a Joint paper by Drs. Henry L. K. Sly and Arthur T. Laird, of Albany, N. Y. Drs. Bhajv and Laird took the posi tion that the attention of the public should not be diverted from the great and very real danger of human con tagion. If, they argued, tuberculosis milk was as virulent as so many per sons assert, it was difficult to conceive how any children at all escaped in fection. A diagnosis of tuberculosis in a child by rational symptoms alone, they contended, was Impossible In the early stages. They said that the his tory of tuberculosis In the family of a sick child was almost a prior evi dence of the presence In some form o tuberculosis. The association of the child with tuberculous parents, or other consumptives, they said, was a matter of such Importance in the diagnosis as well as In the prevention of the disease that every member of a tuberculous family should be ex amined as a matter of routine. In fection during life, they said, may take place throuh the air and from food, but the other source ,of Infec tion was probably by far the most common. Children especially were exposed to Infection because of theif Irresistible Impulse to place every thing in their mouthB. They pointed out the enormous danger to children In the home of the tuberculous adult. Dust from a room Inhabited by a consumptive, tbey de clared, bad boen found virulent for six weeks. Towels, they said, were a fertile source of infection. Otner dangers were In unhygienic surround ings and improper food. Tbat tuberculosis occurred more frequently in artificially fed infants was another view expressed by them. Tbey maintained, however, that this was not necessarily an Indication that the Infection was always of the bo vine type, and contracted from the use of mtlk from tuberculosis cows. They said that bottle fed babies had a greatly lessened resistance to any infection, A campaign against tuberculosis could only be waged with success, they insisted, If its occurrence could be prevented during childhood- Drs. 8haw and Laird urged the associa tion as such and Individuals to bend every effort to prevent and arrest the spread of tuberculosis la children, Live Stock.
