A Lost Art in the Home.

Some reported utterances of Arch.
bishop Ireland, provoked by the meat
boycott, but dealing with a more i'm

OF American domestic life. The high
prices of meats are deplorable, but
still worse, in DR.. Ireland's view. are
the extravaganza and waste of Ameri.

of the neglected art of cooking. Nor
is the reference solely to the rich.

The chief problem that the Utah |
stock grower has had to meet is that
OF providing summer range for his
stock. OF winter range Utah has an
abundance. the large deserts alone be-
ing enough to support the sheep Of the
state in a normal winter. In addition.
Utah is thickly dotted with pros
porous farming communities where
the quantities Of forage produced are
oftener in excess of the demand than
otherwise. and where in many cases
the feeding Of live stock affords the
only means of disposal. This condi-
tion created a keen demand for spring
aud summer ranges, a demand compli-
Gated by the strong competition be-
tween the stockowner who winter
grazed his stock at points remote from
the summer range. and the owner who

was the condition that existed when
the national forests were placed under
the present system of grazing control
The forests occupying, as they do. the
higher and more mountainous por-
tions Of the state. exert a considerable
influence upon the summer range prob.
lem, for within their borders a con-
siderable percentage of the summer
range Is located.
Few outside of the interested stock
growers are aware of what has been
accomplished by reasonable regulation
and control within a very few years.
The dwellers in certain towns and
the ranchers In certain communities
know that the watersheds upon which
they are dependent have been protect
ed by the proper regulation OF gra-

numbers of stock allowed have been

, that the ranges have been equitably
divided between the different classes
OF stock. and the owners. that the
small rancher remote from market
centers who must dispose OF his crop
and gain his livelihood by raising and
1 feeding cattle Is provided with a range
adequate to his needs: while at the
same time full consideration is given
to prior use OF the range by the stock
growers who winter their stock on the
deserts. Extensive Investigations are
being conducted for the purpose OF i'm.
