gers through whose district the
driveways pass have charge of
the crossing of the stock. No
charge is made for the privilege
of crossing except for frequent
journeys of the same stock which
is considered to amount practi-
cally to short grazing season.
A feature of the business
which the forest service views
with satisfaction is the compara-
tive rarity of trespass. During
the year just past there were but
tWenty-nine violations of the
grazing regulations on the eigh-
teen forests of New Mexico and
Arizona through trespass of stock
on forest range, though the to-
tai number of transactions in
this branch of the work was
4, 462 for the year.

Not Large Enough
To Affect Supply

From statistics at hand it ap-
pears that the Canadian cattle
supply is not large enough to
materially affect the beef market
in the United States if all the
surplus came to this country.
The number of beef cattle in
the Dominion Of Canada has
gradually fallen from 4,629, 1886
in 1908 to A, O93, 600 in 1912. Dur
ing the same period Canada's
exports of cattle diminished
from $50, 993 to 81, SIT, while its
exports of beef fell from 2,253, :
075 pounds to only 948, 771pounds.
The cattle go mainly to the Unit
ed States, while the beef is sold
in the United Kingdom. Unless
Canadians are willing to substi-
tute rabbits for beef the Cana
dian meat import situation will
cut little figure in our markets.

Over Million Head
Of Cattle Grazed

In a resume of grazing busi-
ness in the third district during
the past fiscal year, the forest
service reports that government
ranges in New Mexico and Ari-
zona supported during all or part
of the year $40, 283 head of cat
tie and horses, 913, 389 head of
sheep and goats and 528 hogs.
The number of paid permits to-
tails 3,2O1.
These figures show an increase
over the preceding year of 7,843
head of cattle and horses and
IA, 333 head of sheep and goats.
But, it is added, the number of
stock grazing under paid permit
does not comprise all of the stock
using national forest range,
since forest users are allowed to
Craze mich and work animals
free of charge, up to a limit OF
ten head.
Besides the stock regularly
grazed on forest ranges large
numbers of animals, chiefly
sheep, annually cross the nation
al forests in travelling from sum-
mer to winter ranges and vice
versa, also in going to and from
private lands, ranges on Indian
reservations, etc. During the
past year PSI crossing permits
were issued. allowing the cross
ing of "a, 461 head of cattle and
horses and 1897, 557 head of
sheep and goats.
To facilitate this feature OF the
business regular driveways are
established and the forest ran

Uncle Sam Is InStruCting
Farmers Through Nails

Teaching agriculture by correspond
ence is the latest work of the Agricul-
tural department. According to the de-
partment, the demand for agricultural
teachers is rapidly increasing.
Nineteen states require by law the
teaching of agricultural in the common
schools. So great is the demand for
teachers that the normal schools have
taken up this work. Even with this aid
there are still not enough teachers for
the secondary schools and the special
schools of agriculture.
Several colleges have added an agri-
cultural reading course to their libra
ries. These courses are intended rather
for farmers and farmers wives than
for teachers, although teachers are en-
couraged to enroll as well.
Eight courses will be treated by the
correspondence education of the govern
ment. They are: Agronomy, animal
husbandry, horticulture, forestry, agri-
cultural engineering, agricultural tech
nology, agricultural economics and ag-
ricultural educatino.

government pension rolls at the
beginning of the new fiscal year,

the pension commission.
The report shows that during
the past year there was a de-
crease of "a, 884 Civil war pen
sioners, bringing the ranks of
the veterans down to 462, 379.
The estimated number of men in
service during the Civil war is
2,213, 365.

Livestock, Ranching and

B55REFFFE
Live Stock Shortage
Not Been Checked

The monthly statement from
the Kansas City stock yards shows
that the livestock shortage, Of
which there has been so much talk
has in no way been checked and
the extra heavy runs due to dry
Wheather are no longer apparent
During the month of October of
this year, 269, 500 head of cattle
were received in the Kansas City
yards. On the previous year dur
ing this month 800, 900 head were
received. Last month 140, 900
of feeder cattle were shipped
back to the country, mostly to
Missouri farms. During October
a year ago, Isl, 900 head of feed
ers were shipped out. The de-
crease in the number of hogs is
equally stricking. In October,
1912, more than 203, 600 head of
hogs were received while for the
same month of last year previous
nearly 217, 600 head came into the
Kansas City market. The effect
of the dry whether is also shown
by the fact that the average
weight of the hogs received in
October of this year is 1876 pounds
lighter than the average weight
for October, 1912.
Sheep alone appeared to be hold
ing their own, or nearly so, there
being decease of less than ], 1000
head between the two of the re-
spective years. The total for Oc-
tober, 1918, reached nearly 317,-
900. With a decrease Of 50.0
head of cattle and a decrease of
13, 900 head of hogs in one month
it is quite apparent that there
will be sufficient demand for all
live stock that may be raised and
marketed within the next few
years. This demand will be keen
enough to keep prices up above
the danger line, regardless of
tariffs, foreign importations and
other ''bugaboos," which are
from time to time used to fright
en- the growers of live stock.

Loosening the subsoil allows the

Planting in straight rows is better

Good seed corn is one of the most
important factors in producing good

No man can tell whether corn will

Planting only such vegetables as

planting a great variety.

Protection of Crops.

The one question above all others
over which the farmer, fruit grower,
and gardener should show concern is
the protection of his crops from the
attacks of insect pests and fungus dis

try are destroyed through the depre-
dations of plant diseases. 1t stands
