Forest NJ ote 8.

Minnesota has forested area of 28
million acres, the largest of any State
east of the Rocky Mountains.
There are approximately four million
acres of timber land in New Hampshire
of which about half is in farmers wood
lots.
Forest fires in the United States have
caused an average annual loss of 70
human lives and the destruction of 25
million dollars worth of timber.
Juniper from the Indian reservation
of New Mexico and Arizona may prove

it starts when the snow melts anc

To the Middlebury Register:

To the Middlebury Register:
1t has always been a mystery to me
why the voters of this town trouble
themselves to send representatives to
the Legislature to make laws and then
elect officers who will not enforce the
laws. If the trouble is with the laws,
there should be new ones, if with the
officers, put them out; be sure you are
electing those who cannot be bribed.
should think that those with children
growing up would want to know that
there was no possible chance for their
young people to be tempted. You have
men in your town who are worth saving
and am glad the time has come which
l have long hoped for and that is that
the State will take those who are unable
to resist many temptations and bear
the expense of medical treatment for
! their disease instead of leaving the
burden on the families who can i'll
afford the cost of such treatment; and
also l am glad that that price is now
in reach of poor people. refer to the
Wooster Home Treatment in praise of
which l cannot speak too highly, for it
does all it is recommended to do.
Don't wait until some of your dear ones
fall in degradation. See to it that
your young people have pleasant and
safe place to enjoy themselves even
ings. If you are so saving of your
money that you cannot pay for secre-
tary for the Y. M. C. A. why cannot
you take turns and keep the rooms open
every evening in the week? But there
is money enough among your business
men and elsewhere to keep man ir
charge of the rooms so the young peo-
pie will be kept interested and will not
get into places where they drink ano
gamble. But am telling you nothing
new. You men know this and why you
do not stop it cannot understand. Yot
have the laws behind you, why don
you enforc, them? Don't be afraiC

Don't put down the men who drink bu

Protect the Deer.

The unusual depth of snow at this
time of year renders deer especially ex-
posed to pursuit and death by dogs.
When a crust forms sufficiently strong
to hold up dog, this liability is in
creased. Under such conditions deer
pursued by dog will be helpless after
running from an eighth to quarter of
a mile, this being especially true of
does carrying young. All dog owners
ought therefore to provide such re-
straint as will prevent damage. While
a dog not wearing a collar may law
fully be shot by any person when such
dog is found chasing deer, there are
men strongly tempted to shoot first and
determine the collar question later The
statute provides that dogs that will
hunt or pursue deer shall not be per-
mitted to run at large unaccompanied
by the owner or keeper. The penalty
for violation OF this provision is a fine
of one hundred dollars.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1914-02-27

Reports from the back districts of
Vermont state that the ground in the
woods is covered by from two to three
feet of snow on the level and that the
drifts mount to much higher figures,
says the Barre Times. This unusual
depth of snow makes travel hard for
such animals as deer, and especially so
when the snow becomes coated with a
crust which is strong enough to support
the lighter animals but not strong
enough to carry the weight of the deer.
Therefore, deer are apt to become easy
prey for dogs, inasmuch as the dogs
can race over the crust while
the deer break through at every
plunge. This condition is likely to be-
come more pronounced as the alternat'
ing thaws and freezes come, making g
thick crust OF snow. Hence there is
need for protection for deer from dogs
and the only way to do it is to keep the
dogs locked up so that they canno'
harry the deer. Dog owners and keep
ers are warned to look after theil
CANNES to prevent them from chasing
deer.

The measure of success that attended
the national forest fire protection serv-
ice during the past calendar year was
enough to encourage its supporters into
renewed activity along the me line
during the present year, inasmuch as
nearly twice as many fires were fought
in the latter year, yet the total loss was
no greater than during the preceding
year. The largely increased number of
forest fires from 1912 to 1918 indicates
that the work must not be relaxed at
all, else the aggregate forest fire loss in
the United States will be staggering.
The chief feature in which the service
proves its benefits is the promptitude
with which the fires are discovered and
attacked. Alert watchers can save
millions of dollars to the general public
by detecting outbreaks of forest fires
early and organizing fire-fighting squads
promptly on the discovery of the out
break. In Vermont the annual loss is
far greater than it should be because
we are somewhat careless in attending
to outbreaks of this sort, on top OF
individual carelessness in causing the
fires to star. More alertness ano
quicker organization would, annually
save Vermont quite heavy loss, albeit
there has been a decrease in recent
years in destruction of foresss and woods
from this cause. Barre Times.
