It is gratifying to learn from the
forestry authorities at Washington
that cutting Christmas trees is not a
menace to the timber lands. 1t is ex-
planned that though 100000 of these
trees are used every year in the
United States they represent growth
that is not material to the well being
of the forests. In fact, it is said the
thinning out thus assured may be
beneficial to the remaining timber. So
a beautiful custom may continue to be
INDUCED in without any conscientious
scruples.

The school of veterinary medicine
at the state agricultural college is now
prepared to offer its services in the
cure of fistula and poll evil. The COL
lege will make vaccine for the veterln-

great differences in the fistula and
poll evils 1t is impossible to use
standard vaccine for all cases, and it
is necessary to make special vaccine
of certain strength for each case.
In order for a veterinarian to get
this vaccine it will be necessary for
him to send a tube of the pus from the
infected part to the veterinary depart
ment. Here it will be investigated NIL
croscopically, the strength determ-
ined for the vaccine and inside of AZ
