; Livestock receipts during June at
seven primary interior markets, S,
039.780 head, for the first time since
January showed a gain and' exceeded
even the June, 1909, receipts of 2,
S52.824 head. Of the total 651,879 head
Here cattle, 101,400 head calves, 1,
6S2.89J hogs, (S3, 683 head sheep ' and
30,321 head horses and mules. The
June receipts of --ogs, while decidedly
higher than In either of the three pre
ceding months, still continue much be
low the average for like ; periods . In
earlier years, while the cattle figures
exceed the corresponding 1909 and 1908
totals. The shortage In the ' commer
cial supply of livestock. Is best seen
from a comparison of . the half-yearly
figures, which totaled 16.463,76 head
tn 1910, compared with 13,081,725 head
in 1909 and, 20,820,393 head tn 1908,
The loss of over 2,800,000 head, as com
pared with 1909, is due almost entirely
to the smaller number of hogs brought
to market Assuming that the average
six months' receipts for the, last five
years at the seven primary markets
represent the normal commercial sup
ply, the shortage in hog receipts thus
far in 1910 lsalmost 25 per cent
.Weight Offsets XTumbers. ; -!
However, the larger average weight
of the animals reported for the present
year offsets, to some extent ths loss in
numbers. Ths distribution of this loss
In hog receipts is far from uniform.
Chicago shows a loss of SI per cent as
compared with the above average: Kan
sas City, a loss of 26 per cent; Omaha
a loss of 20 per cent and St Louis a
loss of only 6 per cent The curtail
ment In ths commercial supply of cat
tle is less pronounced, ths six months
receipts - for tha "present year being
about 8 per cent below ths average half-
yearly, receipts .for th preceding five
year period. It should be stated, how
ever, that the cattle figures for Omaha
and St Louis Include ths receipts fiof
cams, inasmuch as the six months'
receipts of calves for ths present year
at. tne nys mantets which report them
separately wer over 22 per oent larger
than ths average six months' receipts
for ths preceding five year perjod, it
follows that he receipts of cattle at the
seven leading markets were really lower
than stated above, and the losses, as
compared with earlier years; correspond
ingly larger. As compared with ths
abovs average, the receipts of sheep at
the seven leading markets, 8,820,256
head, show a loss of over 11 per cent
It Is note worthy that ths decline in
the supply of sheep began after 1908,
that of cattle after 1907, and that ' of
hogs after 1908. ,:'..' ;v - , '"-,(
Livestock receipts f or ' June at the
four principal Atlantlo seacoast- cities,
819,754 head,wers larger than for any
other month of ths year, though falling
short of ths June, 1909 and J908, totals
of 865,570 and 920,236 head, respective
ly The aggregate livestock reclpta
at these four cities for'the first half of

a decided decline from ths corresponding
1909 and 1908 figures Of 4,457,080 and
4,805.695 head. Here also the. largest
loss is shown tn receipt of hogs, while
the number of calves marketed shows a
substantial increase over the figures of
earlier years. Ths six1 months' supply
of hogs at ths four seaboard markets,
1,696,304 head, -fell; about 20 per cent
below ths average six months' figures
for tho preceding five years;" The larg
est leceipts of hogs, as in the case of
ths principal interior . markets, are
shown for ths first six months in 1908.
The number of sheep handled at these
four markets during ths first half of
the year, 1,284,245 head, likewise lndi-.
cats a continuous decline sines 1906.

The shipments during June of packing
house products from Chicago, 176,820,660
pounds, show the largest monthly total
for the year, though falling below ths
Juno. 1909 and 1908, shipments of 185,
665,000 - and 204,823.305 pounds. Ths
six months' figures for 1910 993,952,978
rounds, for ths first time' during the
more recent period fell below 1.000.O00,
000 pounds and were almost 20 per oent
below six months' average for the pro
ceding five years. Ths largest item of
eliipment for the six months, fresh best
41fl.28S.600 pounds, showed a gain of
over 60.000,000 . pounds over the 1909
figures. ,- A compared, however, with

years, a loss of over 13 per cent is

period - of - cured meats, 294,423 400
pounds, show a loss of 20 per cent when
compared With the average for the
fcboye period. The shipments of canned
-meats, 29,387,625 pounds In the six
months of 1910, have not yet regained
the ground lost since 1906. Ths six
months' shipments of lard,-125,739 800
pounds, show a loss of over 30 por cent
when compared with the average for
the six months; period of ths fivs pre

Mountain forest at tbe head of Big
A forest .Ire Is today one of the
greatest calamities from which a com
munity suffers, while two or three cen
turlesago the destruction of ths forests
was considered a blessing. In the early
history iof the country followers of Cap
tain John Smith looked upon the. forest
firs as a God-send means of disposing
of ons of their greatest enemies.
The forests not only retarded civilisa
tion by preventing cultivation of the
soil, but they were ths home of ths
dreaded American Indian. From the
cover of ths wilderness ths redskins
mads their attacks upon the colonial
Villages, and after scalping many white
men and burning their homes the sav
ages returned to the forests to hide
among its trees and be sheltered by its
darkness. At that time ths forests had
no commercial value, and since they
were considered a" menace to the public
good, large areas were burned over an
nually.';; ''. :: :'.'.; l:-l.-,. ;..?- .:..: ,.;-:

Thers was such an abundance of wood
that H was inconceivable to ths early
Settler that some day ths oolonlal
states would be denuded of their forest
cover, and importation of wood would
be necessary, yet in less than ten gen
erations the 13 original states are al
ready : suffering from : timber famine
which before another generation will be
nation wide. ;y. : .:. v-i..X. '
Forests have a manifold value and it
H, therefore',, the duty of svery . man,
woman, and child to make every effort
to prevent forest flees.
In order to better understand what
ths forest cover means to a community,
Its many benefits must considered
separately., Ths importance of these
distinct 'values of our forests vary to
such an extent with ths conditions that
no attempt will.be mads to show which
of them is paramount However, it is
certain that no matter what a person's
position In life may be he or she as an
individual is effected by all factors in

they believe It is ths property of some
wealthy timber owner, : commonly
called a timber baron, yet If they saw
this same man's house on fire they
would not hesitate to sound the alarm.
They do not stop to think that every
thousand feet of lumber which is de
stroyed by fire robs ths community of
not less than f 8 in wages and salaries,
and also removes from assessment a
large amount of assessable property
and thus Increases the individual tax
of every person in the community.
, Accompanied by large forest fires in
many Instances there is a less of human
life, and fires which could easily. have
been extinguished ih. their early stage
have been known to develop Into , con
flagrations which have completely de
stroyed villages and snuffed but the
lives of people who were unable to make
their escape.
' Aesthetio Bids of Question. -
There Is also an aesthetio value of
the forest which, although not recog
nised by some Is still deserving of, men
tion. No person who Is familiar with
the desolate- and God-forsaken, appear
ance of burned areas will doubt this
value of a forest to. a community. What
is mors pleasing to the eye than a hill
or valley robed in an emerald mantis of
magnificent timber whispering in the
Wind and bowing a welcome to ' the
stranger? , , . . 'm -.
Ths value of. the forest to the health
of ths community is an undisputed fact
Its beneficial effects are received from
two sources. Ths forest absorbes large
amounts of carbon dioxide and other
impurities In the air and elves off oxv

Invigorating slement in the atmosphere.
.The value of the forest as a place of

Wednesday, when she ca ntake another

was then sent toths father to assure
him that his daughter "was safe. After
