!Establishment of Stations For Reseed
ing Experiments Proposed.
The United States government has
planned a series of scientific reseeding
experiments on several of the national
forest ranges next spring and summer
to determine under what conditions
and in what manner those portions of
tt>e range which have been seriously
damaged by overgrazing may be re
stored to their former productiveness,
says a bulletin from the .forest service.
A great deal of the range land in the
west is overgrazed and does not carry
as much stock as formerly. The meth
od of handling stock, particularly
sheep, Is perhaps more responsible for
this condition than any other cause,
bnt all causes of deterioration and all
means for Improving the forage crop
need to lie studied that the range may
be brought into the best condition to
meet the imperative demand of the live
stock industry.
The plan is to establish experimental
stations in several parts of the coun
try. Probably not more than six will
be tried at first, but they will be so lo
cated as to secure typical conditions.
The experiments will be begun on a
small scale on five or six acre tracts.
Both native and wild grasses will be
tried, but It Is believed that the plan
of encouraging native grasses will
meet with greater success than the in
troduction of cultivated species, at
least in the Rocky mountain region.
In the coast ranges, with their greater
rainfall, cultivated grasses are more
likely to play an Important part In
range development.
The ranges of the northwest have not
been so seriously damaged by over-
grazing as those of the southwest, per
haps because of superior moisture con
dltlons of the northern part of the
country. It is a fact, however, that
none of the ranges support the stock
which they did formerly, and reseed
ing experiments will therefore be un
dertaken in tbis section of the country
also.
The method of handling stock Is also
to be considered. Every stockman
knows that stock do not waste as much
feed when unrestricted in their move
ments as when close herded. An ex
perimental pasture was Inclosed last
summer In the Imnaha national forest
in Oregon, which will be a model for
others next season. In this pasture
sheep were turned loose without a
herder to ahlft for themselves. It is
too soon to draw positive conclusions
from this experiment, bnt the sheep
did well, and there was a decided lei
enlng in the loss of forage through
trampling, it looks as though a given
area of ground can be made to carry a
very much larger number of animals
when they are allowed to graze free
than when close herded. This fact. If
established, will be of decided Impor
tance to stockmen.

LESSONS IN LIFE SAVING.
Columbia University Adds Couree In
First Aid of Drowning.
Practical Instruction In life savtnf
has been added to the curriculum of
Colombia university, and classes
which began recently will be held ev
ery afternoon In the pool In the uni
verslty gymnasium. The new course
is required for all candidates for de
grees and mast be completed before
the senior year. George Holm Is the
Instructor In charge of the work. Mr.
Holm proposes to teach the men deep
diving, making them dive to the bot
tom of the pool and bring up articles
from a depth of ten feet He also In
tends to have one of the students feign
drowning In the center pool and have
him rescued by another member of
the class.
Mr.. Holm said that the coarse wss
determined upon last summer, when
several of the gymnasium Instructors
were nearly drowned In Lake Cayuga
by the overturning of their canoe.
Fortunately both men could swim, bnt
the accident happened about a mile
from the shore, and it was only with
the greatest difficulty that they reach
ed the shore, where they fell exhaust
ed. They were discovered by other
members of the party, hot they on
derstood .very little about reeusclta
tk» and had to send for a doctor.
"We hope to prevent such things from
happening among the students,” said
Mr. Holm, "and for that reason we
are teaching life saving, and later on
In the spring we will have
In resuscitation."
POUR AUTO RACE ENTRY.
Facts About the American Contesting
Car and Its Drivers.
The Thomas car, which Is the only
American contestant in the New York
to Paris automobile race, is to all in
tents and purposes the same as the
regular stock car. with the exception
that certain parts have been strength
ened for the long journey, says the
New York Times. It weighs 2,700
pounds and, with the crew and acces
sories of the trip, will total about 3,500
pounds. In racing trim the car covers
seventy-five miles an hour. 'With all
the necessary paraphernalia It la capa
ble of making fifty-eight miles. It is
not expected that this rate of speed
will be maintained, but Montagne Rob
erts, one of Its drivers, expects to av
erage about thirty miles an hour as far
as Omaha. The speed from this point
west will depend entirelympon the con
dition of the roads.
Roberts will not have charge of the
car throughont the entire run. While
he himself would be perfectly willing
to go right through with Hie foreign
drivers In their trip to ParlEby way of
Alaska and Siberia, be has been nomi
nated to drive the Thomas stock car in
the Briarcllff cup event in Westchester
county, N. Y., on April 24, and after
taking the car to Cheyenne he will re
turn to New York to begin practice for
the Westchester county contest
From Cheyenne to San Francisco and
for the rest of the trip the car will be
driven by Harold S. Brinker, who for
the last three years has been the dem
onstrator for the Thomas cars on the
Pacific coast While Brinker Is not
well known to eastern motorists, he has
done a great deal of hard driving under
all sorts of conditions In the far west
and has crossed the Rocky and Sierra
Nevada ranges more than once, making
the ran from San Francisco to Chicago,
He knows the roads and country thor
oughly between Chicago and San Fran
cisco.
American autolsts and others who
are watching the car will be pleased to
know the machine la American made
in every particular.
"It Is an American car even to the
magneto," said Roberta. *1 will use
American tires exclusively and am re
lying upon the regulAlon standard
makes of both tires and Inner tubes,
carrying none of the specially designed
tabes."
When asked how fast ha weald trav
el Roberts said that no effort would be
made at any time to make speed.
The car carried at the start two gaso
line tanks holding forty gallons each,
one placed under the front seats and
the other In the rear. Upon reaching
Chicago a specially hoOt gasoline tank.
In which the four bucket seats are
sunk, somewhat after tile method em
ployed In the 1006 Vanderbilt cup
racers, will be fitted to the frame. This
tank will hold 126 gallons of gasoline.
Larger wheels will then be fitted to
the car, the thirty-six Inch ones with
which the car will be equipped at the
start being removed and forty Inch
oues substituted. Besides the regula
tion tires, Roberts will carry some
steel rims. For nonskidding be haa
devised some chain grips to damp
around the rear tires, which can be
quickly removed when their use L no
longer required.
To the sides of the car will be at
tached fourteen foot boards re-enforced
with metal for use In hauling the car
over mndholes and rata. A winch Is
fitted to the front of the machine, by
means of which a block and tackle may
be used* for palling the car up steep
Inclines or assisting Its progress In
difficult portions of the road.
The car in every way Is of standard
construction, with a wonr cylinder sixty
horsepower engine. It Is of the ran-
abont style, bnt two passengers will
be carried In the rear seats. A wind
shield will extend from the dashboard
to the height of the wheel and this
will be provided with a removable
glass extension, which may be raised
to protect the occupants in stormy and
windy weather. Two mechanics are
with Roberts.
