Scientific Forestry.

AS the cause of conservation gains
strength, the demand for professional
ly valued foresters increases. Al
ready there are 2S students in the
new course of forestry at the Ohio
State university. The work appeals
to sturdy type of young men who
realize something of the extensive
value of forestry service and have a
fondness for outdoor life. AS would
be expected, the course is strong on
the side of science and mathematics,
which are fundamental in forestry. 1t
includes surveying, forest botany,
geology, timber physics and entomol
ogy, and an extensive array of special
forestry courses. The student is re-
quired to study a modern foreign Ian
guage for two years. The course is
four years in length and leads to the
degree of bachelor of science in for
estry.

the prizes in the national highway
good roads contest, has published an
official treatise on the split log drag
in the form of Good Roads Circular
No. 46 from the Office of the North
Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey.
The circular presents a picture of
the split log drag, shows how it is
built, how much it costs to build, and
how it Is operated. Herewith is re-
produced the picture of the drag, and
here are some extracts from the circu-
lar, which is worthy of wide circula-
tion.
HOW TO MAKE DRAG.
Lately a good deal has been said
and written regarding the road drag
and its usefulness, and under certain
circumstances its value can hardly be
overestimated," says the circular.
"On account of this fact, it has been
thought advisable to present practi-
cal form of drag that is applicable
to any farm community and can easily
be constructed by any one, even those
who are not familiar with this ma
chine. For this purpose a cut has
been prepared, which illustrates in
detail how such drag is made and
gives the bill of material needed for
its construction.
Most drags are lodged so that
when they pull at an angle they will
exactly track but when the drag is
made in that manner it can only be
used to go one way on one side of the
road, while If made as described
above, it can be used on either side,
which is often of very great advan-
tage.
"The stretcher hook may be hitched
In at any place desired to give the
angle to the drag that is desired. This
drag will work either end forward
simply by change in the hitch. All
that is necessary is to move the hook
on the chain. A little practice will
soon make any one expert in the use
of this drag.
HOW 1T IS OPERATED.
ITO operate this drag, throw a
board six feet long and ten or twelve
inches broad on the ties and brace
about midway between the drags,
which is for the driver to stand on.
1t will be interesting to notice the
effect of the driver changing his posi-
tion on the drag. Step one foot on
the from. Of the drag and it will cut
and carry material until the weight
is removed; step back on the rear
drag and the front one will drop it's
load and the rear one catch it. Step
forward again and the latter drag
will drop its load. In this way lit
tie practice on the part of the driver
will enable him to become very pro-
ficient in filling up holes. If it is de-
sired to crown the road up, stand
with superior weight on The front and
little to the ditch end of the drag
and let the drag have an angle of
about forty-five degrees"
