LOSS OF STOCK is ENORMOUS

That at least ne-twentieth of all
stock bred on the open range of the
west dies before it reaches market
age and that much of this loss can
be stopped is shown by results re-
ported from the national forests.
This waste is said to add millions Of
dollars to the peoples meat bill and
gives one more cause of the high cost
Of living. Winter storms and sum-
mer droughts strew the ranges with
the bones of cattle and sheep; preda-
tory animals take heavy toll; pois-
Onous plants sometimes kill half the
animals in the herd almost over night.
CATTLE contract anthrax, blacklcg and
other diseases, get stuck in hog holes,
slip off icy hillsides; and sheep pile
up and die of suffocaton. Insects
which madden and kill swell the to-
tai losses as do n multitude Of other
minor causes of death and injury.
How Disease is Prevented
If any of the animals to be grazed
upon a national forest seem to be
suffering from disease, the stock is
subjected to a rigid inspection by the
federal bureau of animal industry
before it is allowed to enter the for
est. If an animal grazing on the for
est dcvelopes suspicious symptoms
the pcrmttee is requested to remove
it. The carcaSses of animals dying
from infectious or communicable dl-
seases must be buried or burned,
preferably the latter. To protect
their stock against blackleg permit
tees are encouraged to use vaccine
furnished free by the department of
agriculture. Sheep suffering from
scab or from lip and leg disease are
barred from the forests until they
have been treated in conformity with
the requirements of the bureau of an
imal industry. This cooperation be-
tween the two bureaus has made it
possible to keep the forest ranges re
markably free from all forms Of
stock disease.

A STORY OF PRESIDENT WILSON

President Wilson has n fund of
good stories. One that he tells is of
a little boy whom he encountered at
Stauntion, Va, the presidents birth

discovered little seven-year-old lad
pushing and showing his way through
the crowd. The boy finally landed in

citedly.
where is it, Where is it?
Mr.. Wilson stopped his speech.
and. with a broad smile, said good
natu"edly:
well, my boy. | guess I'm it,"
"Oh, pshaw," responded the young
stcr, with a look Of digust, "why, /
thought it was 4 dog fight" New

Stock Killed by Wild Beasts

The settlement and development of
the west does not appear to nave
greatly reduced the number of ami
mails which prey upon domestic live
stock, and the loss from that source
alone runs into the millions of dol
lars each year. Within the forests,
however. the number of domestic an
mals killed has been appreciably re-
duced by the campaign against wld
animals waged by the officers of the
service. During the past eight years
forest officers have killed over thir-
ty-thousand predatory animals, con-
sisting Of coyotes, wolves, bear, noun
tain lion, wild cats, lynx, etc.
The losses due to poisonous plants
have been in the aggregate the most
numerous and the most difficult to
guard against. Stockmen knew gem
orally that certain flats or valleys or
hillside slopes could not be used for
grazing without heavy losses OF
stock, but there was much doubt as
to what caused the loss. Gradually
il was determined that the losses were
due to various species Of plants. Lat
or. it was learned that in most in
stances these plants while extremely
poisonous during certain periods oil
the year, were comparatively innox-
ious during the remainder Of the graz
ing season. The forest officers de-
termined the various plant species
which cause death or injury to live
stock. the periods during which each
species is dangerous, and the areas
of forest land upon which the plants
are sufficiently abundant to cause
losses of stock. The next step was
to advise ways and means of pre-
venting the losses. Where definite
information is obtainable the outer
limits of the poison areas are marked
by warning placards which give the
name of the poisonous plant, the
Kind of stock to which it is injurious,
and the period during which 1t is
most harmful. With this warning,
stockmen are enabled to SO handle
their stock as to prevent the occupan-
cy of the poison area during its dam
ger period. In cases where the areas
of poisonous plants are comparative
ly small the permittees have been en-
couraged to fence them, material for
fence construction being furnished
free of charge by the forest service
The result of this work has been to
reduce the number of animals lost
through poisonous plants as compar,
ed to the numbers lost several years
previously.

Losses from Poison Unprcventable

Losses from Poison UnprcVentabIe
Notwithstanding all precautions
which may be taken against stock
poisoning, losses from this source
must be expected. During the past
several years the bureau of plant in.
dustry has been making a study Of
poisonous plants and of antidotes. In
the case of larkspur, for example, the
bureau has determined methods OF
treatment which are reasonably sue
cessful, under normal conditions. Tine
only difficulty has been that the ami
mails suffering from poison are gener-
ally ont upon the open range and may
not be observed by their owner until
it is too late to apply an antidote,
The forest service has therefore ar
ranged to meet this situation in an

forgive them we are going just one
step farther along the way not only
to forgetfulness of their unkind-

our love for them-they would be
more chary of giving us cause for
pardon.

when even the hurts do not sting
