ARVEST IS ON. p Along the Pcnobig of Logs. The day's work concludes -with a big supper, for which the men have ravenous appetites, and thefn follows a smoke talk, when some of the men* play cards, some sing rollicking songs of the woods and the drive, others discuss the latest prize fight and a few mend their torn clothing. The majority are so tired that they roll, into their bunks as soon as supper is over and drop to sleep when they have smoked their pipes out. It is at the landings that the most Interesting operation of . logging Is performed?the marking of the logs. The great sticks are here branded with various symbols to denote ownership, just as in the case of cattle. The marks must be indelible or they would be worn off by the bumping and grinding of the logs against the rocks and shoals on the long drive to the boomg, and in all the ninety VAjira nf lnmheH-nc nn the PpnnbRroti no one has ever been able to devise a better method of marking than with a sharp axe in the hands of a skilled woodsman. The marker is deft and rather artistic, and makes vety few slips or errors. There is a head marker and several assistants, and they stand , upon the great log piles, swinging their axes with confidence and precision, as proud of their skill as any chiseler of marble. , The marks cut upon the logs are of, wonderful variety. There can be no two alike and each must be distinctly cut, else there would be confusion at the sorting . booms and loud complaint, if not7 lawsuits, among the owners. , To the common eye log marks mean no more than the hieroglyphics on the Central Park obelisk, but to the markers they are as plain as A, B, C. There are ' crosses, girdles, stars, daggers, crowfeet, fishes, various letters and combinations of letters, links, notches?a long and complicated list, and for every new log owner a new and distinctive mark' must be invented. AND MOUTH" DISEASE / mptoms, But Don't Know s , The eruption appears two or three days later. It consists of small yellow-white vesicles or blisters, varying in size from a hemp.seed to a pea on-the gums and inner surface of the lips, the insides of the cheeks and the under surface of the tongue. They burst soon after their appearance, sometimes on the first day. The blister to ay remain a day or two more and then disappear speedily, leaving deeply reddened areas of erosions, which are very painful. They may become normally/ covered again', or may be converted into ulcers., At this 3tage saliva forms in large quantities and hangs in strings from the mouth. In eight or fourteen days the disease may nave entirely disappeared. From the eruptions on the feet or hoofs there Is a viscid exudation, and the animal is subjected to so much pain that frequently it moves ibout on its knees. This is especially true of sheep. The sores on the udder >f .the cow become exceedingly painful, and after a little she ceases to ?ive milk. The effect of the disease Dn any animal is to cause it to become extremely emaciated, and even If it recovers promptly to greatly lessen its value. Post-mortems reveal affections of the lungs, dilation and fatty degeneration of the heart and gastric and intestinal lesions. Washington, D.

"We have the disease well under control now, and I don't believe it will spread to any other locality," he said. "It has been necessary to slaughter about 1000 head of cattle."
