Land for Goat Raising.

In u general way, all land in the
United States except very low,
swampy tracts. are suitable for goat
raising. The feed that goats prefer
is browse with a small admixture of
weeds and grass, and therefore those
tracts burdened with brushwood and
nrers are especially desirable. The
,.ct makes it clear that in the colder
parts of the country it would be neces-
sary to provide some feed in winter,
as nothing but the soft twigs remain
at that time as browse. Goats will
eat grass if required to do so, and
will thrive upon it, but grass land Is
regarded as being so much more
profitable for hay production or as pas
ture for cattle and sheep that the plac-
ing of goats upon it is not to be con
sidered. C F. Thompson, United
States Department OF Agriculture.

Furthur Improvement.

Washington, SEPT. 11.-Furthur evil
the improvement of range conditions
in the National Forests is shown in the
announcements just made that stock
owners will be furnished free of charge
supplies of vaccine for the treatment Of
black leg. tuberculosis and other animal
diseases. This arrangement has been
made by the Forest Service with Dr. A.
ID. Melvin, chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry.
Stock men holding permits for graz
ing in the National Forests will now be
| furnished an effective means of combat
ting without cost all of the diseases to
which stock is subject. The vaccine
can be obtained by simply applying to
the supervisor of the Forest upon which
the stock is grazed who will at once for
ward the approved request to the Bureau
of Animal industry where it will be fill
ed. Full directions will be furnished
| for its use.
| The Forert Service and the Bureau of
Animal industry are working hard to
eradicate or diminish the common forms
of stock diseases found on the western
ranges and their efforts are meeting
with much success. 1t is anticipated
that a large number of stockmen will
avail themselves of this latest offer of
assistance and as Il result the loss of
stock will be greatly reduced and range
conditions improved.

against paying the fee charged by the
government for ranging their cattle on
the reserves. Hubert Chedsey was ell
ected chairman of the meeting.
1t was resolved that the reserves are a
good thing but that the grazing fee of
90 cents per head each season is exces-
sive and that the reserves should be pro-
tected by the government so that the
feed on the reserves will be better than
that on the open range. Only one Of
the stockmen was against paying rea-
sonable fee for running his cattle on the
reserves and we understand tnat he will
probably change his mind later.
