WORK FOR G(
—^In conducting if
periments to dll
way to reforest/waste lands or
bnmt-over foreit lands the for*
est service hak need of large
quantities of /forest-tree seeds,
especially of I the cone-bearing
varieties. SiiKe these trees do
not bear evenly every year. It Is
necessary mr economic rea*
sons to ascertain in advance
what specif will furnish good
seed crops each year, as well as
to undertaxe the gathering op*
erations in regions where the
cones are (ikely to be most abun
dant. FOr these reasons in
formation is collected as to the
bearing fenid conditions of the
trees in dilferent parts of the na
tional forests, sometimes as
much a^ two or three years in
advance. This is possioie i-e-
cause many of the species of
pines take from two to tliree
years to ripen their cones.
Whfn lumbering is proceeding
at the time of seed-ripening It
is a comparatively simple mat
ter to gather the cones from the
felled trees. But when the trees
are to remain standing It Is
sometimes a rather difficult
task to got the cones without
climbing the troes. A great deal
can be accomplished with hooks
or knives attached to long poles,
but the forest rangers have
learned to make use of nature’s
own seed-collectors for their
purposes. I’lenty of cou«» i»re
found in the seed stores of the
squirrels. This seems to be a
very economical way for Uncle
Sam to obtain his forest seeds.
Not only Is this method con
venient, but It has the further
advantage of furnishing the best
seeds. The squirrels apparently
place in their hoards only high-
grade cones. Moreover, the
squirrels put their supplies away
so early that it is possible for
the foresters to come back to
the squirrels’ reserves after the
cones still on the trees have
opened up and scattered their
seeds. The red squirrel is the
best collector; in many of tne
holes of this species it is pos
sible to And from eight to ten
bushels of cones of good quality.
The average quantity found in a
single-cache Is about two bush
els. Other animals also store
away seeds and cones, especial
ly chipmunks and wild mice.

“National Bird."
For centuries the stork has beon
“national bird” of the Dutch. The lua-

birds. The stork Is altogether desir

several years the storks of Holland
have been becoming fewer and fewer.
Only recently has the reason b«eu ois-
covered.
The Dutch storks winter in South
Africa. In the Transvaal, where, by
an odd coincidence, most of the people
are of Dutch descent, the farmers
have been waging war against grass
hoppers by covering their fields with
poisoned bait. The gi*asshoppers eat
the poison, the storks eat the grass
hoppers. Tliiis there Is a high mortal

not checked both Holland and the
Transvaal will soon be siorkless lands.

would be lost to jthe real ear were it
not for the lobe. <
The lobes of l^nted animals, such
ns the hare or s^ag, point backward,
and of hunting animals, such as the
dog, forward. Originally, it is be
lieved, our human lobes were movable,
but, as with the fidvance of civiliza
tion, man had to ^cpend less and less
upon his sense of 'hearing for protec
tion against danger, the muscles con
nected with our lo|)es fell into disuse
and resulted in the lobes becoming
practically a fixed part of our hearing
machine.
How Atmospher^ Affects Stars.
Atmospheric changes have a very
marked effect upon the twinkling of
the stars. For example, It is found to
Increase as the temperature falls and
as the Itarometer rises. An experience
of nearly forty yearp, says a writer
in Conquest, showed il. Montlgnj' that
with the quantity of moisture In the
air the twinkling of the stars Increased
so markedly as to serve for a useful
prognostic of rain. Cyclonic conditions
generally are found to promote It,
whilst It Is extremely sensitive to mag
netic disturbances. H^imboldt on one
occasion in the tropica found that the
stars shone with a mild and planetary
light; their scintillation was scarcely
sensible at the horizon. This, It Is
apparent, was due to the great homo,
geneity of the atmosqhere, whereby
the extremely fine pencU of light from
the stars was not interfered with by
unequally dense strata.'

The
Finishing Touch
The finishing touch to the extcHor of your hom^
is the roof—(he roof that must afford you perfect
shelter and at the same time be an element of
beauty.
Cover your roof with Ruberoid Strtp-shing:les.
They have the same lasting qualities as Ruberoid
RoU-roofine that has stood the test on thousands
of roofs during the past thirty years; they are
tetmrnualf for, due to their patented shape, there
is a saving in original cost and application.
The old tones, of rich Indian red and cool sage
green, of the crushed natural slate finish give a
generally soft effect to the color of die roof as a
whole. The cut comers give a rugged appear-
^ce to the shingle butts which, together widi
d\e extra thickness, impart a massive appearance
to\^e roof.
Anod^er striking feature of Ruberoid Strip-shingles
is the lifuied designs in which you may lay them
by eith^ combining the colors or reversing
thr scrips.
Come in an<^ see the new Ruberoid Strirv.shingles
and secure a'l^ attractive folder showi:.^ in color
some of the m)|ny attractive designs.
