SHEEP GO WITHOUT WATER
Enough hoisture from Dew and Plants
for Four Months.

Sheep on Tn. Nebo national forest
Utah. go four and a half months with
out water except for such moisture as
they get from the dew and the juices of
forage plants
destitute Of water is a recent innovatio
due to the increasing demand for forage
and the efforts of the forest officers TO
find a place on the forest ranges for all
the stock that can safely be admitted.
The area on the Nebo which has now
proved usuable by sheep is high and
rocky. a portion of it being above timber
line, and IL has neither springs nor
streams of sufficient size or accessibility
to be used for stock watering purposes.
The grazing season lasts from June IL
to october 81, and during this period OF
four and half months the animals do
not get drink
Under such conditions, however, the
sheep have done extremely well, and last
years lambs from this range had an
average weight AT the close of the sea-
son of 6S pounds on the Chicago market
which was rather above the normal
weight from that vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee forest in
Idaho sheep get water only twice during
the four-month summer grazing season
There Is NO water on the range but the
