Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oaks of Pacific Slope Forests of oak extend thus into the naturally treeless western por tion of the Mississippi Valley, reclothing the prairies and the partial deserts, welcomed and protected by the settlers. The kind of oaks that survive most in forests of many species is not, generally, the most valuable, - the white oak group, - but the coarse-grained, usually worth less black oaks. And this is accounted for very readily; the bitter, astringent qualities of the acorns of the black oaks are left by swine, squirrels, and birds alike, to germinate, while they hunt industriously for the sweet, nutritious acorns of the white oaks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of Oak Leaves for Forage During the summer and fall of 1902, while experting a forest reserve in the northern Coast Ranges, the writer noticed with surprise and interest the eagerness with which leaves of certain oaks were eaten by live stock. Having this fact in mind, many observations were made in regard to the forage value of each species of oak occurring in the Coast Ranges. These observations, while confined more especially to the extent to which each species was eaten by stock, included also the range or distribution, altitude, and mode of occurrence. Later in the year, in order to ascertain, if possible, whether these observations indicated fully the real value and significance of these oaks for forage, a chemical analysis was undertaken covering six species of oaks and one of poison oak. Only those species were chosen which occur on hills, ridges, and, mountains where tillage is impossible; and the object kept continually in mind was the forage value of the leaves of the different species.
