Notts and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
of Oregon and Washington, Specially Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions
STATE FORESTS.
By Professor G. W. Peavy, of the
"Department of Forestry at the
Oregon Agricultural College.
Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
valli8 To the friends of forestry in
Oregon the proposed creation of a
State Forest, by exchanging k the
scattered school lands for a tract
of timbered land within the limits
of one of the National Forests, Is
good news. This proposed action was
advocated by Governor West In a
message to the last legislature. It
has taken definite shape in a bill
Introduced by Representative Haw
ley In the Congress of the United
States. '
When the National Forests were
created by presidential proclamation
the title to the school lands lying
within the boundaries of the forests
did not pass to the federal govern
ment but remained vested In the
states. These lands may he sold
bv the state or may be exchanged
w:ith the federal government for
equal areas of public land outside
the National Forests. Since the iso
lated sections of school lands in the
forests will, as a rule, be of small
value to individuals for many years
to come, it appears to be a matter
of good business on the part of the
state to secure a solid body of tim
ber in lieu of them. When It is un
derstood that the state still holds
title to more than 70,000 acres of
forest land, it is very clear that
Oregon is in possession of the possi
bility of a valuable forest property.
The native timber on a tract of
the size indicated above could be
sold by the state and logged off by
the purchasers as a dennlte business
proposition. The young stufT could
be protected to form the basis of a
future crop of timber, while old
burns and waste places could be
brought into use by sowing tree
seeds or bv planting young stuff. In
other wont's, this tract of land could
be so handled as to bs made a
source of revenue to the state for
all time.
Eventually, when the binds of the
state become classified through use
or by experts in the employ of the
state, the areas which are more val
uable for timber production will
surely be devoted to that purpose as
certainlv as agricultural lands will
be dedicated to tillage. When that
time approaches the state of Oregon
will, unquestionably, take steps to
acquire lands chiefly valuable for
the production of timber and to put
the lands to that use. Before the
state becomes the proprietor of for
est lands on a large scale it would
be a wise thing for the people to
acquire proficiency in the methods
of handling wood lands scientifically.
Like scientific agriculture, scientific
forestry is' an exacting profession.
The problems to be solved are intri
cate. But, unlike agriculture, for
estry demands a long period for the
determination of satisfactory conclu
sions. A crop of corn or potatoes
matures in a year. A crop of tim
ber requires half a century or more.
Hence, the state lands of Oregon
should possess a timbered area in
which the various problems, incident
to forestry in this region, can be
worked out. For example, we must
know the best methods of replacing
the forest on burned over areas,
whether by seed sowing or by plant
ing seedling trees and the methods
to be employed in each case; the
species of tree to grow on certain
situations; the time at which the
crop should be harvested in order
that the largest amount of wood per
year may be produced in different
locations.
In addition to the solution of these
problems, the state should have a
means of training men in forestry
by actual work in the woods. The
people of Oregon, very wisely, are
seeking to work out agricultural
problems by the establishment of ex
periment stations in different locali
ties. The forest resources of the
state are second only to those of
agriculture and the proper handling
of the forest crop is of as vital in
terest to the state as the proper
handling of agricultural crops, and
the state should be equally con
cerned in seeing to it that the great
est value possible Is obtained from
this immense property. The increas
ing demands for timber, together with
the exhaustion of the supply in other
regions of the United States, point
to the concentration of the timber
demand on the Pacific Northwest
within a few years. We should be
prepared, not only to harvest our
great timber crop to the best ad
vantage, but we should also be in
a position to provide for a future
crop when the present magnificent
natural resource is gone.
State forests are not a novelty In
this country. Already many of the
Eastern states have begun the acqui
sition of forest lands, in many cases
paying private owners more for cut
over lands than the same lands were
originally sold for by the Federal
Government. New York, for exam
ple, has become possessed of more
than a million and a half acres of
forests, an area which that common
wealth proposes to manage for the

Agricultural College Veterinarian
Telle Symptoms end Treatment
to Give.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallls. Since many lutters from var
ious parts of the state have been re
ceived by the Experiment Station at
the Oregon Agricultural College re
garding a disease closely resembling
hog-cholera In Its symptoms, veterin
arian B. W. Hollls has thought It well
to give the farmers and stockmen of
the state the sympoms of hog-cholera,
with suggestions as to preven
tion and general sanitation, that they
may more Intelligently combat the
onslaught of the disease in their
herds.
"At the beginning It Is well to
bear in mind the fact that when once
an animal is infected with hog-cholera
and the symptoms of the disease
appear. It is almost useless to treat
the animal, because recoveries are
very rare," says Dr. Hollls. "Occa
sionally, however, an animal will re
cover, "but is usually so stunted that
it is worthless on the farm. It will
not contract the disease a second
time.
"Hog-cholera usually starts with a
diarrheoa. The pigs stop feeding,
may have a cough, and are sluttish
for several days. They lose all en
ergy, gradually become weaker, and
die. The older hogs act in the same
way. except that they do not usually
grow so thin before death. Some
times the diarrheoa Is preceded by
constipation which may last for a
few days. The discharges are usu
ally very offensive. Frequently a
discbarge comes from the eyes, re
sembling pus, and this may be sticKj
enough to gum the lids together.
"In many outbreaks one or two
hos may not feel well for several
days, and before the herdsman ia
aware of the fact the whole herd
may be infected and a number may
die every day. Some may show
symptoms of a severe diarrheoa, red
ness of the sl;in of the abdomen or
flanks, and of patches about the
snout or ears, while others may
show but few of these symptoms be
fore death. Hog-cholera is most
prevalent in the fall and early win
ter. During the cold weather the
cases, as a rule, become more
chronic, do -not die so suddenly, and
a greater percentage receover.
"Since this is a contagious dis
ease, the germs of hog-cholera must
be carried into a herd before the
hogs can contract the disease. The
garms are present in the blood and
tissues of diseases aanimals, and are
thrown out through the excretions of
the body, especially the urin and
feces. In this way the whole yard
and everything in the yard In which
the hogs are kept becomes contami
nated with the germs. The smallest
particle of dirt, so small that it can
not be seen, will carry enough germs
to Infect several herds of healthy
hogs. It is thus apparent that no
one should be allowed to leave the
vicinity of the pens without first
thoroughly disinfecting his shoes, or
putting on other non-infected ones.
Dogs, cats, rats, and crows and
other birds in fact, every living
thing should be kept away from
the infected pens as far as possible.
"After beieng exposed to the dis
ease a hog may become sick with
cholera from six to fourteen days
later, but it may sometimes be much
longer. Upon consideration of the
conditions favoring the disease, and
the manner in which the infection
takes place. It will be seen that the
feeding and care of hogs have much
to do with the prevention of the
cholera. Clean, dry pens, regular
and proper feeding, plenty of sun
shine, the pens -cleaned and disin
fected regularly, and the hogs them
selves dipped every few weeks, all
help in keeping up their vitality and
in this way warding off troubles of
all kinds.
"After shipping a hog it should be
dipped as soon as removed from the
crate, and kept away from all others
for several weeks. It should then
be dipped again before being allowed
to come in contact with the rest of
the herd. If at any time a hog
shows signs of sickness it should
be removed from the herd at once
and kept by Itself until well.
"All straw, cobs and litter should
be removed for disinfection, and if
cholera is present, it should be
burned and a strong solution of some
good coal-tar dip or crude carbolic
acid, about ono part of the dip to
twenty of water, should be used on
all woodwork and floors of the pens.
Slaked lime should be scattered over
the ground and floors of the pens
every few days. This will help to
keep them clean."
Nature's Gentle Hand,

son some beauties of its own; and

You are always likely to find things
When you least expefit. For instance,
there is the story now going the
rounds of the newspapers about the
woman in Connecticut who was pre
paring a leg of lamb for dinner when
out dropped a diamond worth $300.
The woman had not the least expecta
tion of finding a diamond in the roast.
On the other hand, If you have roast
lamb every day for dinner for a year
and examine each roast with a micro
scope and an X-ray machine It Is
17,000,000 to one that you will not
even find a $200 diamond.
