PAOK 10 T1IK BUND llUIiliKTIN, DKND, , WKDNKIWAY, JUf.V ft 1019. I x National Forest Headquarters Here lly rearrsnueniont of tho bounda ries ot tho national forest. Uend on July 1. 1911, became,, tho headijuar ters of tho Deschutes N'ntlonal For est, J. Hoy Harvey supervisor. This reccrvo extends from tho Grook-Iako couuty lino on tho south to township 10 on tho north, and from tho summit or tho Cascades eastward, tho eastern loundary lino belli very Irregular. Within this fonjlbt arc 042,000 ncros of land, msstly mountains and buttes. Tbo a'rea has not all been crulsod and the exact amount of standing timber Is therefore not dennltcly known, but It Is estimated that there aro flvo . bullion feet of merchantable timber. Many people have tho Idea that becaufr this timber Is In a "reservo" It cannot bo manufactured Into lum ber. This conception Is wronc. for Uncle Sam Is not only willing bat de sirous that the timber that Is ripe bo milled. While It Is Impossible to mako such an estimate accurately, Supervisor Harvey believes that about 75 par cent of tho pine Is raa ture; that is. that amount can be cut advanageously within a few years. Somo 35 per cent is fully ripe and most ot that amount may fairly be considered as deteriorating from now on. On this account tho policy ot the forestry department is to encour- aco milling as soon as possible, so that tho full valuo or tho natural re sources may bo realised. Purchaso ot stumpago from the government may always bo mado at market prices on a era I jo basis ot the foresters. All of which means that In addi tion to tho vast amount of timber in prlvato ownership that will be milled at Uend and elsewhere In Central Oregon, many million feet will be taken from tho forest reserves in the coming years. Forest Force Large. Tho winter forestry force consists of seven men, Including tho supervi sor two for office and flvo for field work. During the summer a total of 17 men aro employed, this being tho season ot fires and tho busiest time for the foresters. Throughout ho forest are ranger stations wberc employes aro locaieo the greater part of tho year. Dur ing the dry months they aro constant ly on the lookout for Arcs, lly uso ot tho tolophono lines thoy keep in touch with tho local oftlco nud with cach'othor, nud as soon ns n flro is discovered, whothor It bo In govern ment or privately ownod timber, nld is summoned. Kach year a big sum Is spent for lire protection by tho gov ernment, and during tho past fiscal year somo $600 was put In In Im provements. This was mostly for telephone lines, and at present thero Is 32 miles in tho forest. Connec tion is maintained with tho Pioneer Company's system, and at all times tho rniigorn may Kot In communica tion with tho supervisor's olllco hero Fifteen miles of lino has been built this year and tho system will bo add ed to from year to year until com pleted. This will require about 12C miles of wire. Conducting Its work quietly from tho local olllco, tho forestry sorvlca is doing much for tho upbuilding of Central Oregon. Valuable timber Is being conserved and protected from tho ravages ot fire, tho work of tho department being especially Im portant In this respect. What con cerns tho town vary much Is the fact that each yeas Uuclo Sam Is turnlug loose in Uend a noat sum of money Tho salary payroll alono ot tho Des chutes forest from July 1, 1911, to July 1, 1912, amounted to approx imately $13,000. This was not all, cither, In tho way ot expenditures, for thero was a large amount tor im provement work, tiro fighting, etc Great Grating (Irnuad. Tho Deschutes National Forest is a great pasture ground for horses, cattle and sheep, ,and In this way Uncle Sam derive a considerable an nual revenue. Tho number ot sheep which may bo grated in the forest is 43,000 and of horses and cattle, 3000. Tho chargo per head fcr the sheep over six months old lV cents a head and for horsoa and cattlo. 22 to 66 cents per head, according to tho length of tho season. This means a return to tho government of about $3300 an n J ally. The demand for grating permits Is far greater than can be allowed, and Is Increasing each year. Local Ranch Makes Excellent Showing An all-round farm near Dond that shows what can bo dono In this sec tion Is tho Pilot IJutto Dairy ranch, operated by Oeorgo Jones and Georgo Hates. Tho ranch contains 120 acres and lies about two mites northeast ot town. More than 110 ot tho 120 acres I Ijildlaw Kxlilhlt at lloml Hnltmml liny, Oct., IIMI. aro In cultivation, and the tow acres 1000 acres, and Is making a specially not so used aro taken advantage of of stock, especially Iioks. On the for n cow corral). Tho ranch raises I ranch aro 60 horses, 300 cattle, (100 all Its own hay for 19 cows and horses. This year It will cut 1G0 tons ot hay, chiefly alfalfa and clo ver, with wheat hay also. Four acres planted to turnips, rutabagas and carrots supply additional food ror tho cattio. twoivo acres aro planted to potatoes; thero aro 4000 cabbago plants and othor vegetables, In lesser quantities. In addition to general farming, special attention Is being dovotod to dairying, with pronounced success. At presont tho dairy operates with 19 cows, but this number Is being doub led, and in July at least 30, and prob ably 40, first class milkers will bo on duty. Tho present barn, a modern and thoroughly clean structure, ac commodates 30 bossies. It, with tho room for taking caro of milk and cream, has running wator, thanks to a concrete cistern on tho hill above tho barn. Of course a cream sepa rator Is usod. About 100 Uend cus tomers are served on tho milk route ot this dairy alone, and the unmber Is rapidly Increasing. Chickens are a sldo lino that Is coming in for In creasing attention, lltopdod bulls, Holateln and Jersey, care for tho proper upbuilding of tho dairy hord. An Important feature In collection with tho ranch Is tho orchard of over 600 trees. Most of these nro apples, thero also being prunes and cherries. Whllo tow claim that tho Deschutes country will hold a prominent place as a fruit producer, the performance of tho applo trees has shown that good yields can be secured lioio, oven -vlth very slight attention being 4v cn the trees.

In answer to nn Inquiry from Tho Hulletlu, Mr. Davenport retor(s that tho "brood sows aro averaging 7.1 to a Utter, doatha from being trampled or lain upon being less than ,30."
