. Conservation. Forests and forestry. WORK ON A NATIONAL FOREST No. 9, Chiefly Concerning Horses By CHARLES HOWARD SHINN, Supervisor Sierra National Forest. NCE upon a time a supervisor had a brilliant idea; it was in the holiday sea- son, and in Land Office days. He was so beautifully young that he looked on all those who sat upon far-off thrones o f authority as merely mortal like himself, and as just as willing to take a josh. So he put in a regular requisition for half a dozen centaurs "as an experiment of great scientific importance to American for- estry." He further specified that he wanted "two white ones, two black, and two bald-face sorrels, all warranted sound in wind and limb." I have heard it whispered, where in- spectors congregate, that this super- visor very nearly lost his position. His request was not considered at all funny; in fact, one dignified official termed it "impudence." My friend got back from the Great Office the proper form, redly stamped "Not in Stock." "No date can be set for the delivery of these articles." There the incident closed without a tragedy. It is just as well, perhaps, that no centaurs were to be had, because their rating must have troubled the civil serv- ice, and their social standing at our annual meetings would have been a problem of fascinating complexity. Btit how convenient and how effective a few intelligent centaurs of the classic Chironian type could be made up here in Sierra every day in the year. (I do not mean the gaudy brand of patent-medicine poster centaurs; I mean, of course, those wonderful crea- tures of whom Maurice Guerin wrote.) Can it be that none of these mighty and splendid centaurs are left alive in some far-off and mystic Thibetan val- ley of moonlight and forests to be per- suaded forth by some ardent collector from the Department of Agriculture? Professor Hansen has done so well finding new Turkestan alfalfas that perhaps he might be sent after
