Boutell of Illinois said: 1T is the
height of folly to expect tariff re-

matter what congress does in the

will have to pay just as much for his

Why stock Require Salt.

The requirement that all cattle,
horses and sheep grazing under per-
nit on the National Forests be given
salt at frequent intervals is regula-
tion which has been found to go a
long way in protecting the range and
conserving the forage crop.
Experience has been shown that the
want of salt makes stock restless. II
cattle and horses are not supplied as
they need 1t, they roam and wander,
haunting old sailing grounds used in
previous seasons. trampling the forage
plants instead of eating them, paving
the ground. and in other ways injuring
the range. But if their cravings are
supplied. they scatter peacefully over
the pasture grounds and feed at their
leisure.
Salt is so necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range, that no flockmaster would think
of getting along without 1t. II sheep
do not receive their usual supply it is
only with great difficulty that they can
be held in bonds or kept in camp at
night. So far as sheep are concerned,
no regulation by law is really neces-
sary, because the owners for their own
convenience, will salt their fiocks. But
cattle are not herded and the owners
might neglect to salt them If the reg
ulations were not strictly enforced.
Stock on different ranges require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head OF
sheep would be from 1000 to 1900
pounds each year. For like number
of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds
a year is required. Horses need less
than cattle.
Old hunters, in the days of the pio-
neers, knew that deer and buffalo
Travelled long distances to lick salt in
saline springs. The Blue Licks on
Lickingriver. in Kentucky, and a sim
liar mineral spring on Elk river, in
West Virginia, were famous for the
herds of deer. buffalo and elk which
frequented them. The adjacent ground
was SO deeply tramped that the marks
were to be seen many years after the
places ceased to be visited by these
animals.

steers at County Fairs.

In the classification for the last
western Stock Show premiums were
offered on steers that had won first or
second premium at any county. or state
fair. The idea of this classification
was to thus make connection with
the county and state fair live stock ex-
hibitions, but to the surprise of the
managers of the show there were but
few entries. Investigation developed
the fact that the county fairs as rule
do not offer premiums on steers, con-
sequcntly would-be exhibitors were
barred from this class. Notwithstand-
ing this fact the show association will
make the same classification for the
next chow and the county fair manage
ments throughout the state are urged
to make a classification for steers so
that the various localities may be
matched against each other at the next
stock show in Denver No more inter
esting class could be made at any
county fair. The fat steer is the COM
mercial end of stock growing and it is
fitting and right that in addition to the
breeding stock that the product be ex-
hibited. II stockmen through the state
would insist or even ask for this clas-
slfication II will undoubtedly be grant
ed by all the county fairs. The exhibit
tion of the winners at Denver will
make most interesting feature of the

cottonless Cottonwoods.

Many people object to cottonwood
trees on account of the cotton. But
this can be overcome. Only the pistil-
late trees bear cotton. Nurseries now
propagate by cuttings made from STAN
mate (male) trees only. These they
sell as "cottonless cottonwoods." Any
one else can do the same Mark the
trees that are "cottonless," take your
cuttings from those only and you will
be sure to have "cottonless cotton
woods" The Carolina poplar is only
a variety of cottonwood and would not
be cottonless were not this same pre-.
caution taken in propagating it.

Mare. For. Experiment Station.

Dean Carlyle of the Agricultural
College will leave for the East within
short time to join Professor Curtiss
of Iowa and Expert Rummel of the De-
partment of Agriculture and the three
acting as a committee will select a
number of mares to be added to the
government experiment stud at Fort
Collins. The appropriation for this
purpose is only $4,000. and it is prob
able that it will not go far in purchas-
ing the kind of mares that Carlyle
wants.
The horse experiment station at
Fort Collins has been in operation now
for about three years and results al
ready obtained indicate the complete
success of the experiment. There are
now some forty odd Its on the farm
and some of them are wonders. In
the beginning there was fear of two
things: First, that Carmon, the stall
lion, would not prove prepotent enough
to reproduce himself, and second, that
1t would be impossible to secure the
size and weight wanted without sac
rifice of quality and finish. Both of
these fears have proven groundless.
Every colt in the bunch shows the
unmistakable stamp of the sire and
the climate and food have produced
the size and weight without any APP
parent loss of quality. beauty and fin
ish. ... ,s-, ts -ns.-
The training OF the older colts has
already commenced and they are max
ing fine progress. The addition Of a
few fine mares will add very greatly
to the value OF the experiment.

ment that was regarded with much
doubt by the .horsemen of the country
but those who have seen the results
