Washington, d. c., May 24.-Now
that the government grazing policy is
in successful operation on the g~ational
forest reserves, the question has arisen
whether the same or some similar pol
icy might not be applied to the opel
public range. The policy of the forest
service is not to hold the reserves out
Of use, but to secure their fullest n
most permanent use. To this end,
grazing under proper restrictions is
permitted. Happily, these restrictions
have thus far met with general ap-
proval.
Fitting to Local Conditions.
From the first the Importance of fit.
ting the regulations to local conditions
has been recognized. Rules occasion
ing needless hardship to stockmen
have been modified, INT emergencies
demanding instant action have been
promptly met. When a new reserve
has been proclaimed all stock grazing
upon it is allowed to remain during the
first year; if, afterwards, this number
is found to be too great for the re-
sources of the range, it is gradually
reduced.
Aid for the Stockmen.
Stockmen are aided in %effecting a
satisfactory distribution OF their stock
upon the range and in securing from
it the most profitable and permanent
use. Small stock owners living in the
vicinity of the reserves are given such
preference in the allotment Of grazing
privileges as will protect their inter
ests. First occupants of the range and
farmers owning improved lands ada
cent are also preferred. The rights OF
large owners based upon the range
custom of the past are recognized, and
reductions in the number of their stock
are required only when necessary to
protect the range or the grazing rights
of bona fide settlers.
Not Allowed to Quarrel.
Necessary range divisions between
of different kinds of stock are
made, and controversy between sheep
men and cattlemen is promptly ended.
Where necessary, the construction OF
drift or division fences is also allowed,
provided the area fenced is not great
er than the needs of the stock owner

purposes. On this land grazing is
wholly unrestrained by law. CONNER
cial interests, great and small, have
competed for its use, and the result
has been abuse of the range. Millions
of acres have been recklessly over
grazed and practically ruined. In his
last annual message the president
says:
Ranges Are Over-Grazed.
at is probable that the present
grazing value of the open public range
is scarcely more than half what it
once was or what it might easily be
again under careful regulation" Some
stockmen have, to the exclusion of
others, possessed themselves of the
strategic positions-that is, the lands
controlling the streams, springs and
other watering places, and by this
means have secured temporary o
troll of the adjoining grazing lands.
Charges of fraudulent entry have led
to litigation. Great areas have been
illegally fenced. Again, stock owners,
notably sheep and cattle men, have de
Tended their conflicting claims by force
of arms, causing serious loss of prop
erty and even of life.
Regulations for Range.
Obviously such conditions should be
corrected by law. The remedy would
seem to be to apply to the open public
range the regulations already govern
ing the forest reserves. This conclu-
sion is strengthened not only by the
uccess attending the forest reserve
policy, but also by the effect of fenc-
ing the public grazing lands. Though
Illegal, this fencing has in most cases
greatly improved the condition of the
area inclosed. Care, however, must be
taken to avoid the application of
sweeping and ironclad regulations to
an area so vast and to conditions so
different. The Investigations of the
public lands commission show that i'm
mediate application of any inflexible
rule to all grazing lands alike, regard
less of local conditions or grazing val
ues, would be disastrous, and that i'm
must be sought through the
gradual introduction into each locality
of such form of control as is specific
ally suited to it.
For Benefit of Settler.
In his message, already referred to,
the president says: "The best use Of
the public grazing lands requires the
careful examination and classification
of these lands in order to give each
settler land enough to support his fam
lily and no more. While this work is
being done, and until the lands are
settled, the government should take
control of the open range, under rea-
sonable regulations suited to local
needs, following the general policy al
ready in successful operation on the
forest reserves" Should the policy
thus suggested be established by law,
great good would undoubtedly result

by the operation, they would quickly
agree that the less of that kind OF work,
the better for the beef, if not for the

Ehis Lung ventilatins Process Serves
a Double Purpose.
The act of yawning Is distinctly bene-

It serves the purpose OF lang ventila.
ton. The lungs are not filed or ex-
hausted by ordinary respirations There
is a certain quantity Of air which phys
biologists call residual air. left in the
recesses of the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This in time becomes VIII
ated and affects the blood and, through
It, the nervous centers. i
The result is a yawn, which Is really
a stretching Of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
Of it with freshly inspired air which
drives the vitiated air out. Yawning Is
also beneficial in SO far as it opens,
stretches and ventilates the vocal, ma
sal, and auditory chambers in immedi-
ate connection with the mouth.
The cracking sound often heard when
yawning is due to the stretching and
opening of the eustachian tubes, which
form a communication between the
middle eur and the back of the throat.
The deafness which often accompanies
q cold is due to the congestion of these
tubes.-London Hospital.

Wool SuStainS Sheep
Values.

While there have been several at
tempts to smash the mutton market in
the east recently, and local dressed NUT
ton trade has fallen down somewhat,
buyers of live mutton stock are finding
it hard to repress the buoyancy of values.
When western woolgrowers are having
things pretty much their own way in
naming prices for their product it is a
poor time for packers or other buyers to
engage in a campaign to reduce prices
for good sheep. With wool commanding
prices that have made every western.
owner financially easy, there is surely
not to be the pressure behind the crop of
mutton stock this year that they have
felt many years in the past.
Well posted owners declare the crop
of wethers and yearlings from the range
will be far below the average, yearling
wethers especially being scarce, while
yearling ewes arc commanding such
prices as breeding stock that the; market
ing of such promises to be the smallest
in modern history of the business.
Eastern and corn belt men are paying
up to S for some of the best native
breeding ewes and indications are that
the demand is again to crowd the enor-
nous business done last year.
Wool prices the last two years have
been very attractive, even to farmers,
some of whom for years had been op-
posed to the maintaining of a flock Of
sheep on their farms, and there is a more
universal movement to restock the farms
| of the middle west with sheep than eve
before. With trading among western
owners of breeding and store sheep more
general than ever before owing to the
strong conditions of the wool market,
and this eager demand from eastern ter,
ritory for breeding stock, everything
seems to favor the western owner for a
continuation of a good time he has been
enjoying since the wool market got to
going the right way.--Drovers Journal.
