Says Sheep Have Changed the Ranges
So That 1t is No Longer Possible to
Fit Cattle for Block Without Feed
ing Hay-Better for Country With
Government Lease Law.
Garrett. Myo.. Feb. 90. 1908

Garrett, Wyo., Feb. 20, 1908.
To the Editor of The Republican.
| wish to write you a few lines III
answer to some of the items that have
been in your paper on the lease land
question. First, as Mr.. Thomas Boy
Ian said, The state had as well charge
the sugar beet raisers of Colorado fof
the fertilizer that they put on their
ground as to charge the sheep men for
running sheep on the government tim
ber reserve-that they were a benefit
to the soil. Now, in answer to that, |
will say that l came to Wyoming in the
carly sos and when | came here a MAJ
could cut hay in a great many places
On the Laramie plains.
Before Sheep Came.
That was before there were n
sheep run on the range as we term it.
There were a great many big herds OF
cattle on the range, and people never
thought of feeding their cattle in the
winter, and today, as there are a great
many bands of sheep on the summer
range and there is hardly enough grass
left to keep a goose alive where the
sheep have been herded. Now, II
sheep were such a great benefit to the
range, why so poor as it is, unless you
take the old saying, the closer the
ground the sweeter is the grass? II
so, the sheep may be a benefit to the
soil.
No Poor Cattle Then.
Now, speaking of this Part Of tina
county, we never knew what it was TO
have poor cattle in the fall of tho
year until the sheep came here, and
row, in order to have any good beef
we have to gather up u cattle as sool
as we get our hay crop cut and put
them on our enclosed lands for a
month or so, in order to let them ge.
fat. Now, if we had a lease law, so Il
small rancher could lease four or five
sections of land to run his small bunch
of cattle on, he could have good beef
and get a good price; but as it is at
the present time, nearly all of our
beef that we ship we sell for feeders or
Gamers.
Government Lease Law.
Let the government make a lease
law so the small man can live as well
as the large man, as the big stock
man is called. It would make moro
money in our United States treasury
and also in our state treasury. We
would not have to be taxed % to Is
mills on the dollar to run our state.
OF course we realize who pays the
largest tax. but we also realize who
pays the most tax according to the
amount of stock he has-the small
man. Why? Because he only has 4
few head of cattle, horses or sheep
whichever it may be, so when the as
SCISSOR comes he can see all the stock
he has and he assesses him for all o:
nearly all of the stock he has; but
the large man has his stock scattered
all around. so the assessor cannot see
them, and he gives in just what he has
d mind to, and the assessor puts ii
down as he says.
More Money for Merchant.
Now, would it not be more money
for the merchants of our cities if ther<
were more small ~ranchers, as it takes
more men accordingly on small ranches

Aztec Remains Unearthed.

San Antonio. Texas, JAM 20
Evidences of Aztec occupation of
this part of Texas were unearthed
yesterday on the ranch of Henry
Schneidenschur, sixteen miles
north of San Antonio. A rounded
mound rising in the midst of a
level valley was opened, and
skeletons and other relics of TN
doubted antiquity were brought to
light. Excavation has been slow
owing TO the fact that the mound
is found to be overlaid with rock
at a depth of three feet Much in
terest is manifested in the dis
covery, and an anth-opologist from
the University of Texas at Austin
will be asked to examine the
mound. Indications point to a
possible important scientific addi-
ton to current knowledge of pre-
historic Texas.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is infarn,
ed you have rumbling sound or i1nper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused Nv Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

fENCEPOSTS MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years Additional
Service by Preservative Treatment.

Fence posts of many kinds OF
cheap woods which ordinarily would
soon decay if set in the ground can
be made to last for. twenty years by
4 simple treatment with creosote.
Most of the so-called inferior"
woods are we'll adapted to the treat
ment. and this is especially true of
cottonwood, aspen. willow, syca-
more, low-grade pines, and some
of the gums. When properly
treated, these woods outlast IN
treated cedar and oak, which are
becoming too scarce and too much
in demand for other uses to allow
of their meeting the demand for
fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has
>-sssu greatly cheapened by the
introduction of the open tank,
whice can be installed at cost OF
from $50 to $45. or much less If an
old boiler is used. A tank with a
bottom II square feet in area will
suffice for treating 40 or so 6-inch
posts a day, or double this number
when two runs per day can be
made. The absorption of creosote
Der post is about as follows:
Eucalyptus one tenth gallon; will
low. tow-tenths gallon; sassafras.
ash, HICKORY, red oak, water oak,
elm, and maple. four-tenths gallon;
Douglas FIR, quaking aspen, and
black walnut, six-tenths gallon;
sycamore, cottonwood, and lodge
pole pine, seventenths gallon.
The price of creosote is about 10
cents per gallon in the East and
Middle West, 10 cents per gallon
on the Pacific coast, and 81 cents
Der gallon in the Rocky Mountain
States. The cost of treating a
post will therefore vary from 4 to
Is cents. Properly treated, 1t
should give service for at least
twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Ser
vice show that with preservatlve
treatment the durability of lodge
pole pine in Idaho is increased six
teen years. The cost of Creosote
Is there relatively high. yet by
treating posts there is saving,
with interest at 6 per cent, of 2
cents per post yearly. More I'M
portant than the saving, however,
IS the fact that through preservative
treatment other woods are fitted to
take the place of cedar. of which
the supply is rapidly becoming
exhausted. A detailed description
of experiments in preserving fence
posts, together with practical sug
sestions for treating them on a
commercial scale, are contained in
Circular III of the Forest Service. |
This publication can be obtained
upon application to the Forester at
Washington.
