BEDDING OUT SYSTEM IS
ADVOCATED AS BEST FOR
WESTERN SHEEP RANGES


the past fen 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 on elos.. nerdine sys-
tenn which has heretofore been in
use.
This system gets its name from the
fact that the hsrd.r who attends she
hand camps and beds his iiork wh.r-
ever the sheep find themselves nj
nishifaii. Under ii- old plan h-
established n fixed earp and rcd
