MEAT PRODUCTION ON NAT

Secretary of Agriculture AIlOts
Range for Nearly Two Mil
lion Cattle and Nine
Million Sheep.

w oolllHS SOIA3 EI4AA Al.-lG-
ceipts from grazing permits on
the National Forests for the sea-
son of 1915 will contribute to the
public revenues approximately
$1,000, 600, or about $500, 900
more than last year, according
to an estimate made from the all
lOwances just authorized by the
Secretary of Agriculture. The
Forests this year will furnish
forage for 1888, TITS cattle and
horses, 8,747,O25 sheep and
goats, and 54,040 swine, the fig
ures indicating a material in
crease of meat production on the
gOvernment-regulated ranges.
The increase of 1855 cattle
and horses over the allowances
for 1914 is accompanied by a
decrease of 12O,881 sheep and
goats, showing that in many
parts of the West sheep are Civ
ing way to cattle. 1t is thought
that the recent high price of
beef has been encouraging many
farmers and former sheepmen to
go into the cattle business,
though it will be the first time in
the last five years that the al
lowance of sheep has not in
creased over that of the previous
season. There are localities,
however, where the demand for
sheep range is far in excess of
the supply.
The grazing charges are slight
" higher this year. In the West
the rates have been fixed at 48
to 80 cents per head per year for
cattle and horses, and IL to IS
cents for sheep and goats; in
the East the rates are from IS
cents to $1.50 for cattle, S1.1O to
$500 for horses, and 25 to 40
cents for sheep and goats. Pigs
pay from 20 to 43 cents in the
West and so to 80 cents in the
East.
The grazing allowances indi-
cate the relative Importance of
the stock business in the various
parts of the West in which the
National forests are situated.

embraces Colorado, Wyoming,

SCIENTISTS
ARE To HAVE A
READING ROOM
HAVE LEASED QUARTERS IN THE
sIMMs PENNINGTON BUILDING,
AND WILL HAVE MOST coMFOR-
TABLE QUARTERS.

The Christian scientists of this city
have leased quarters in the Simms-
Penningto building for reading
room and as soon as the carpenters
and painters have finished their work,
furniture, books and periodicals will
be installed for the benefit of the
members and their friends.
The Scientists of this city are plan
ming to erect a new church in the near
future, the membership has outgrown
their present quarters and it will be
necessary before long to secure a
larger place. The Scientists of this
city have responded to the call of the
mother church for relief for war suf-
ferers and have done their share to-
ward this work, a recent editorial in
the Science Sentinel, in speaking of
this work, said:
"ln response to the call for contribu-
tions for the relief of Christian Scien-
lists in distress by reason of the pres
ent war in Europe the sum of $82,-
104.02 has been received by the treas
urer of the mother church. Or this
amount $77595.51 has been disbursed
to the relief committees organized by
Mr.. McCrackan in England, Germany,
France and Switzerland, as called for
by them Much gratitude has been eX-
pressed by the Christian Scientists in
these countries for the help extended
to them by their brethren in America.
In addition to the $S2 1O4.02, collect
ed for the relief of Christian Scien-
lists there has also been collected the
sum of $29, 1890 for the relief of war
sufferers other than Christian Scien-
lists in Holland, England, Germany,
France and Switzerland. The total
amount received to date for these two
funds is $111,25S,92, of which but. $4,-
50S,5l remains uneXpended. As the
need for help still continues. this small
balance will not last long; therefore
Christian Scientists are given the op-
portunity to continue to send contribu-
tions to the treasurer of the mother
church for this relief work. For the
future it is proposed to maintain but
one fund, ana from this both Christian
Scientists and others will be assisted" 3"
