GOATS USEFUL
BRUSH EATERS
Successfully De m o n ira tie d In
California Where They Are Eat
ing Trails For Fire Guards.

The frustrating instinct of the An
CORA goat is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen national forest
in California, where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes Of the
mountains.
The animals, which number 5000.
have been divided into two bands, and
under the care of the herders are
grazed within certain well-defned
areas so that their work may be con-
centrated on the brush within those
limits. The result is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating it up
entirely, or by barking, as in the case
of the heavy manzanita bushes. At
the beginning of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats will
ingness to eat the manzanita, but it
has been found that where there is
little else they will just as readily at
tack it as any other bushes.
The grazing season was so late this
year on the Lassen forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
about the middle OF June, but since
then they have made rapid progress
and the result promises to be sue
cess from every point of view. The
trails will first be opened and then
kept free of sprouts by the goats, saw.
ing the government considerable labor
in cutting them out by hand, as has
been done heretofore, while the
brushy forage which otherwise would
have been wasted will support 5000
goats very comfortably.

My wife is away from home, and
I promised her that would can the
pumpkins for her, which accounts for
my having written to you. Now, J..

rubbed it and canned 1t as per in

During the early days in the pc

said that there are several farmers

me that Sitting Bull was a medicine

Celery. which in It's native state is a
hardy biennial, has been so improved
by cultivation that it has become a
delicious and palatable vegetable.
While it may be grown on any we'll
drained, fertile soil, sandy loan will
give best results for the following rea-
sons: First, the quality Of celery is
superior to that grown on any other
type of soil; second, the texture of
the celery is firmer than that grown
on muck soils, and therefore the ship

celery is grown on either clay or

quently injured by harvesting while
the soil Is wet. Celery that Is grown
on sandy soil can be harvested sew
eral days earlier after wet season
than that grown on clay or muck
soil. This is an important point when
one considers how much it might
mean to the grower to have his crop
delayed a few days in reaching the
market and how seriously he might
injure his soil by harvesting while the
land Is too wet. While this applies
to any method of growing celery, it IS
especially true when the celery is
blanched by banking with soil.
Celery is transplanted to the field
during the summer months, when it
is very hot and the soil usually dry.
