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 willingness to
eat the manzanita but it has been
found that where there is little else
they will just as readily attack 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 every point Of
view. The trails will first be opened
and then kept free of sprouts by the
goats, saving the government consid-
cradle labor in cutting them out by
hand as has been done heretofore,
while the brushy forage which other
wise would have been wasted will sup
port 5000 goats very comfortably
