Fig. 1. — A small farmer in east Texas ran a hog-proof fence around a piece of 
some 20 acres of cut-over land near his buildings. He excluded hogs for six years 
and most of the fires for 12 years. The result, in part, is shown in the above 
view ; a full stand of longleaf pines 25 to 35 feet high and 3 to 6 inches in 
diameter at breastheight. The owner regards the whole thing with much satis- 
faction, for he has a rich pasture for cattle and hogs and a valuable stand of pine 
reaching about the size for thinning by turpentining
