The Department of Agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires on
the national forests for the calendar
year 1912, and finds that they were the
lowest of recent years. Less than one
acre to every thousand of timbered
lands was burnt over, and the total
damage is estimated at $50, 290, or less
than one dollar to every 1000 acres of
area.
The good record is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions in
most localities, and second, the in
creased efficiency of the fire fighting
organization. AS congress make avail
able the means for extending the sys-
TEN of communications on the National
Forests, the equipment of trails, roads,
telephones, and lookout stations is
yearly enlarged and the fires, it is said,
are discovered more quickly and fought
more rapidly.
An especially good showing was made
by the forest officers last year in
extinguishing fires outside the ma
tional forests before they reached
boundaries. Such fires constituted
more than one-sixth of all fought by the
forest rangers and guards. About nine
tenths were extinguished before they
touched the forests. OF the fires
within the forest boundaries more thar
Is per cent were on lands in private
ownership. Nearly one-fourth of the
extra expenditures due to fighting
fires-that is, expenditures outside the
time of the regular forest force-wa:
incurred in fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires thar
any other agency, followed by rail
roads, campers, and incendaries, in thu
order given. The greatest losses oc
Cured in Arizona, Arkansas, and Cali
fornia, in which states there was ais,
the largest proportion of fires caused b,
lightning and by incendarism Abou
81 per cent of all the fires were started
by lightning, and about SO per cen
were uue 10 CdIeleSSneSS. Inc pro
portion in each case was practically tn,
same as in the previous year.
The total number of fires was PAP
as compared with 1869 in 1911. The
burned over, in the aggregate, $50, 90
acres as against 100000 in 1911. Cali
fornia led all other states in total mum
Der of fires, and in the number cause
by lightning. Arizona stood second i
BIO tn of these classifications. Arkansa
stood fourth in total number of fires
and first in those of incendiary origin
with California second. The on
national forest in Kansas had only on
fire, which burned over less than te
acres and cost Sill to extinguish
North Dakota had no fires on its on
small forest.
OF the 2,472 fires, over rs per cen
were put out before 10 acres wer
burned over, and nearly so per cen
before one-quarter of an acre wa
covered. Only IL fires caused damag
of more than 81, 900 each.

What is Difference Between I
Serum and Vaccine.

THE Nature of Vaccnes, Sera and
Tuberculns with Special Reference to
their Use in the Treatment of Tuber-
culosis" is the title Of a timely article
which will appear in the April number
of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, the
Anti-Tuberculosis Magazine New
York;. The article is written by a
we'll known authority on clinical path
ology.
The author states that the use o.
meteorological preparations, such as
vaccines and sera is twofold, both for
the purpose of producing immunity
against certain diseases and also for the
purpose of assisting in the cure of
certain disease processes. They are
used both upon healthy and upon sick
persons.
A serum may be defined as a fluid
separated from the clot of the blood of
some animal which has previously been
immunized against the germ or poison
of certain disease such as diphtheria,
or hay fever 1t is administered to
cure a disease process in the human
body after the disease has already de-
veloped and is not designed as pre-
ventive.
A vaccine on the other hand is a
weakened poison or virus of a certain
disease such as smallpox or hydropho-
bia, which is taken from calf or some
other animal afflicted with the disease
in question. During the process of the
disease in the animal, the poison which
the germs of the disease cast off, be-
come attenuated Then when it is in
oculated into the human body, protec-
tive reaction of the healthy tissues
against this poison follows and an i'm
munity against the disease is thus pro-
duced. A vaccine of this character is
= designed for use only in healthy body
and is not for use after the active symp,
, toms of the disease appear.
The term vaccine is also used in some
cases to apply to attenuated germ:
which have been weakened, usually by
heating or otherwise. These prepare
tons are also called bacterial
vaccines", or bacterins, in distinction
from virus-vaccines. These bacterial
vaccines are employed not only fol
inocuating the healthy individual il
, order to protect against infectious dis
ease, such as typhoid fever, the plague
D or tuberculosis, but also for inoculatinf
p the diseased body in order to stimulate
= the production of protective substance
4 when the processes of nature appar
n emily are not working sufficient!
actively toward recovery.
Tuberculin, of which there are con
; siderable number of varieties, is a prep
, arati on made from the germs of tuber
e culosis, so treated that the poison or
q dinarly produced by these bacilli i
killed or rendered innocuous. Tuber
culin is really distinct kind of bacte
. rial-vaccine used in the treatment O
e tuberculosis, and has been employed
both for therapeutic and preventive pur
. poses.

TOO MANY WANT
THE FARMER JOB
COMMISs SsIONERS CANNOT CEN
TER UPON ONE MAN AND AP-
PolNTMENT LEAVES COUNTY.

Word has been received by w. ..
Atwell secretary of the Carter
county branch of the Eastern Agri-
cultural Association, that W. d. Bent
ley, state agent for the U. s.. Farm
Department, will not appoint any
man from Carter county for the posi-
ton of county agent. The reason
many Carter county men applying for
the position, and the failure of the
county commissioners to agree on any
one man. The new man will arrive
here within the next few days, it is
expected, as the contract begins on
July 1st. 1t is now high time for all
people who are interested in the fu-
ture of this county to lay aside all
personal prejudices and pull for a
greater Carter county and the only
way to have a greater Carter county
is to further the cause of Agriculture.
We must have the county demon
strator, for he has demonstrated his
usefulness not only here but all over
the state, and we must have increased
production and better production, and
then the Eastern Oklahoma Agricul-
tural Association comes in and pro-
vides a systematic method of mar
keting, so that all who care and
wish to get the best and highest
the market affords can do so through
their local county branch. Oklahoma
is primarily an agricultural state and
the sooner we get that in our heads,
the sooner we will be on easy street.
Each and every business man and
farmer should back this county

ricultural Association, not only by

WEATHER FORECAST
FOR THE WEEK
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT WAVE
PROMISED - HIGH PRESSURE
AND GENERALLY FAIR.


Washington, July 6.--Relief from
the heat wave was promised today in
the Weather Bureaus weekly weather
bulletin, which states that pressure
distribution over the northern hemis-
phere indicates that unseasonably
high temperatures need not be ex-
pected during the coming week IT
will be cooler during the first part
of the week over the eastern portion
of the country, followed by some rise
in temperature later.
High pressure with generally fair
weather will prevail during the week
over the greater portion of the coun-
try. A moderate disturbance is now
off the extreme north Pacific coast,
but its eastward movement will prob
ably not be attended by more than
local showers over the northwest dur
ing the early portion of the week and
possibly over the Missouri and upper
valleys about the middle
of the week.

THAW BEFR|ENDS
GENERAL S|CKLES
SENDS CHECK FOR $1,000, EX-
PRESSING SYMPATHY FOR GAL
LIANT UNION OFFICER.

Gettysburg, July 6.-Harry X. Thaw
has come to the financial rescue Of
General Daniel E. Sickles, from his
cell in Matteawan. He sent letter
to Chairman Schoonmaker of the
Pennsylvania commission having in
charge the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg
in which $1,000 in cash was inclosed.
In the letter Thaw wrote that he
felt the deepest sympathy for General
Sickles because of the misfortune that
had come upon him in his old age.
This sympathy, the writer declared,
was heightened by the fact that Thaw
had two uncles in the union army and
a near relative in the southern army.
These circumstances impelled him,
he write, "to offer a thousand dollars
with which to start fund for the pay
ment of the debts of gallant union
officer who had in hfs old age been
bowed by financial misfortunes'

elected a member of the corporation

CORNISH is ENTERPRlSlNG.
