the stockman found that he was being
limited in his free pasture. He tried to
drive out the settler, but in vain; persecu-
tons and the destruction of crops were
met by laws like the "two-nile limit
statute, keeping the agriculturist safe. The
sheepman went on with his flock and took
the range as he came to 1.-THE cattleman
could not follow, for the cattle would not
eat after the sheep. So the cowboys de-

A Western authority says that in the last
ten years 10000 sheep have been wantonly

range do not come to light-that 500 man

the law, to be sure but in the wilder pOr-
ton of the West it is sometimes a slow
process.
Recently the government has issued an
order that the sheep must be kept off the
forest reserves, the last refuge of the wan
dering fiockS and their worried owners.
These were the only lands which the
cattle were not generally grazed. so the
sheep were turned in. But they destroyed
the shrubbery in their efforts to gain sus-
tenance, and so the order went out to stop
such practice. There seemed to be no
choice but to try conclusions with the cat
tlemen again, and hostilities opened with
renewed vigor. The miners and campers
and hunters try to keep their stock out of
the mountain parks, and the boundaries
constantly grow less for the wanderings of
the hocks and herds. The range is becom-
ing thin, too. The grass is over-pastured,
and, in the opinion of expert stockmen,
does not to-day give more that half the
sustenance that 1t did decade ago. Var
ious plans are proposed to renew it, but
they are as yet in embryo, and do not help
the man with the huge fiocks of sheep that
must be fed. In the end there must be
more extensive leasing or ownership of the
grazing lands, and the rights of possession
must be observed. Until that time comes
the conflict for free feeding grounds will
rage.
