BLACK HILLS FOREST RESERVE
OPENED TO HORSES AND CATTLE

Edg1IpOnt, S. u. July lU.-Ihc united
States government, through the officers
of the forestry service, has come to the
relief of the cattlemen and horse rais-
crs of the Black Hills ana adjacent ter.
ritory, whose range has been burned
off by the excessively hot and dry
weather which has prevailed in this
part Of the northwest during the great
er part of the summer.
The feed for the cattle and horses
has been reduced to almost nothing and
more serious even than this in the fact
that waterholeS have become dry oVe
many parts of the range and there is
not sufficient water to supply the
wants OF the animals.
The forestry service has decided to
permit cattle and horses to be placed
in the Black Hills forest reserve under
a lease system. The national forest
in the Black Hills affords grazing and
water to lines unlimited quantities.
and the cottia ard horse raisors are
glad to avail Themselves of the oppor.
tunity.
Applications have been made to the
service for the grazing of about 5000
head of cattle and nearly 1000 head
of horses Tho department of agricul.
ture has authorized the grazing of 10.
900 head of cattle or hoses in each OF
the two divisions Of the reserve, and
there is no doQAt hat additional APP
plications ~il run the number of cattle
and horses there UP to the full number
allowed.
In case Of necessity. thousands more
could be admitted without taxing the
limit of the grass and water. But ever
under the present limitation of the de-
partment. 10000 can be cared for.
summer grazing permits are issued
from May 1 to November 80, the charge
for which is % cents for CO tile per
head, and So cents per head for horses.
Winter permits, good from December !
to April so, are issued at the rate of %

ing, following their petition to forestry
department to permit them to Craze
their herds in the reserve during The
continuance of the drought, has de,
cided against the sheep owners.
The official found that there was
general opposition on the part of the
settlers surrounding the reserve to per.
hitting sheep to Craze and it also wa.
made apparent that the capacity of thu
reserve would be taxed to the utnaosr
by h admission of the cattle ant
horses from the foothills country.

DR.. Mansell lIaullin, NJ. A., writing
in the London Lancet on the causes Of

women, the effect of this chronic sep

so many OF them have OF swallowing

with regard to this is very difficult to
