be prevented, and one band on the
Payette forest, Idaho, which never
bedded two nights in the same place,
and which grazed in timber and
brush practically the entire summer
lost only four head; in this, as in
the majority of cases, the loss under
the new system was less than under
the old one of close herding.
The forest rangers and trained
hunters of the service cooperate with
the herdsmen to rid the ranges OF
predatory animals, and to render the
danger of loss from this source less
than it was formerly.
Sheep Owners Endorse it

BEDDING OUT SYSTEM IS ADVO-
GATED FOR WESTERN
SHEEP RANGES

AS a result of experiment during
the past few years the department of
agriculture is now advocating the
use of the bedding-out system Of
herding sheep on open ranges, in
stead of the old close-herding sys-
tenn which has heretofore been in
use.
This system gets it's name from
the fact that the herder who attends
the band camps and beds his fiocks
wherever the sheep find themselves
at nightfall. Under the old plan he
established a fixed camp and bed
ground and drove the sheep back to
the same place each night.
Lambs are Heavier
Through experience on the national
forest ranges last year the depart
ment states that lambs from bedded-
out bands were five pounds heavier
on an average at the end of the sea-
son than those which were trailed to
and from established backgrounds,
and that the range can carry from
10 to % percent more sheep than
when so much is trampled out in

travelling back and forth The dis
advantages of the old system, accord
ing to the department, were two-fold,
those to the forage and those to the
sheep. The forage suffered by being
trampled badly, and being actually
destroyed at and near the bed
grounds; the sheep lost weight in go
ing to and from the camps, and in
dry weather suffered not little from
dust and from crowding.
Moreover, under the old system
system the sheep were kept pretty
we'll punched; under the new plan
they Craze at will in scattered, open
flocks. During the day the herder
moves about in wide circuit around
his charges, looking for tracks to see
that none of the sheep has strayed
beyond his circle. The sheep are con-
stantly moving through new feed in
stead of travelling over areas already
fed over.
Few Sheep Lost
Sheepmen have maintained that
the close herding system so long in
use was necessary to prevent losses
from straying, and from the ravages
of animals, such as wolves, coyotes,
and mountain lions. The experiments
of the service show that straying can
