TO STAMP OUT
SCAB DISEASES
Government viii Lend Its Help
in the Matter.

During the grazing season of
1909, the Forest Service will
again cooperate with the Bureau
of Animal Industry and the
state officials in efforts to stamp
out the disease known as scab
which exists among the sheep in
a number of the western states
and territories.
This work has been carried on
by the Bureau of Animal Indus
try for several years past.
The Forest service has en-
deavored to assist the Bureau,
as we'll as the state authorities,
in enforcing the law by refusing
to admit any sheep on Nation
al Forest, within the prescribed
states, that were not accom-
panied by a certificate of inspec-
tion signed by an inspector of
the Bureau Of Animal industry,
to the effect that they were free
from the disease or had been
dipped in accordance with the
regulations of the Burean.
During the season of 1909 the
work will be continued in New
Mexico, and it is hoped that at
the close of this present year the
results will be so satisfactory
that considerable parts of this
area may be pronounced free
from the disease and relieved
from quarantine restrictions.
Wherever it has been found
necessary to burn the corrals,
counting chutes and other i'm
provements on range which
were possibly infested with this
disease, the material for new
one S has been furnished to the
stockmen free of charge by the
Forest Service.

Obituary..

In the midst Of life we are in
death; death is the lurking foe OF
humanity. He is made his inroad
upon us and taken captive one OF
our number for his prey. Hard it
is for us to have our friends taken
from us by the king of terrors.
For such lie is. There is no place
in this world that we can hide
from this destroyer. He is on
every hilltop and valley low, seek
ing whom he may destroy. The
rich and the poor share the same
fate. How greatly mistaken we are
when we profess to live in the
land of the living, while in reality,
we live in the land of the dying.
Funeral bells are daily sending
their message of grief over this
visible universe, and the few
pleasant mornings that dawn on
us here are but the minstrelsy
singing at our last requiem. Oh .
how sad it is when death comes to
our pleasant homes, where friends
are bound together in bonds of
love and affection. He it is that
enters our pleasant homes and
sewers the connection that holds our
family circle together and lay vast
our affections. What reveries of
thought pass through our minds
while following our loved ones to
the silent tomb and look upon their
clay for the last time. How we
tremble when the casket is lower
ed down in the vault. How hard
it is for us to say good bye. How
we imagine sometimes in the silent
watches of the night, when the
world is wrapped in darkness,
that our friends visit us in our
dreams and whisper to us words of
peace and comfort. Amidst all
our saddess and heartaches comes
to us through the aperture of Di-
vine revelation, the language of
good old Job, "The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away and
blessed be the name of the Lord"
Then again for our encouragement
the words of st, Paul, "For we
know that if this earthly house
of our tabernacle were to dissolve,
that we have building, house
not made with hands, but eternal
in the heavens" Then the words
of the Savior, ~ will go and pre-
pare a place for you that where l
am ye may be also." We are now
encouraged and feel confident to
to know that our friends who have
died In the Lord are safely housed
in the paradise of God, where the
the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are forever at rest.
