Cattle in Buffalo Pasture Fathead Indian Reservation

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The gradual but steady decline in
the carrying capacity of native pas
lures presents serious problem for
the livestock industry. The aver
age carrying capacity of the 100000
900 acres of public lands outside of
the national forests, which are practi-
cally all used for grazing purposes, Is
today estimated at Is per cent less
than what it once was. The privately
cline. On the other hand, the carrying
capacity of much of the unfenced
grazing lands within the national for
ests has been increased in recent
years by the adoption Of what is
known as deferred grazing.
This system is explained in an arti-
Gle in the new Yearbook of the de-
partment of agriculture, Improve
ment and Management of Native Pas
lures in the West" This article gives
as the causes of pasture deterioration
overstoclSing and premature grazing.
1t has been the general belief that if
! stock came off the range in satisfac-
| tory condition the range was not over
stocked. In the majority of cases,
however, this is not true. Animals
which are allowed to Craze the green
feed of the choice forage plants near
" as fast as it grows may for the
time being get enough to eat, but to
rob the plants continuously of this
| forage robs them also of their labora-
tory for manufacturing plant food, and
they are gradually starved out of eX
istence. In the course of five years or
so. the better forage plants are gradu-
ally reduced and their places taken by
less desirable grasses and weeds. The
condition of the stock, therefore, is not
in itself safe way to judge whether
a range is overstocked or not.
Premature grazing is injurious not
only because the vegetation, when soft,
is badly damaged by trampling, but be-
cause the plants are not allowed to
mature their seed. In practice, some
| part of the range must be grazed
early in the year. When deferred graz
ing is adopted, however, part of the
range is set aside and the seed al
lowed to mature before the plants are
grazed.
Deferred grazing was first practiced
| by the. forest service of the United
States department of agriculture in
studies on the depleted ranges of an
| area in northwestern Oregon. An area
with one-fourth the carrying capacity
required for a band of sheep for an
entire season was protected against
grazing until the important plants on
| it had matured seed. After which it
was heavily grazed. This caused the
sheep to aid in planting the seed by
trampling it into the ground. The fol-
lowing year the same area was again
protected until after seed maturity and

YOUNG LAMBS LIKE
THEIR GRAIN FEED
Creeps Will Aid Materially in
Rapid Growth Satisfactory
Ration Is Given.

If creeps are provided where the
lambs can be fed grain away from
their mothers it will aid materially
in their rapid growth. 1t is surpris-
ing how early they will learn to like
grain. By the time they are two weeks
old they will always be around at
feeding time. A place IL by 15 feet
will be room enough for SO to As
lambs. In this is placed a trough IA
to 16 inches wide and 2 to 3 inches
deep in which they are fed twice a
day. 1t is worth while to be punctual
in the feeding. No stale grain should
be left in these troughs. Clean them
out. A satisfactory ration will be
found to be one made of two parts
cornmeal, one part bran and one part
oilmeal. Lambs like oats, too. Some
sheepmen prefer to fit up the en-
frances to the creeps with two rollers
held in place by springs. This is a
good way to take care of lambs Of diff
ferent sizes and the rollers prevent
tearing the wool.

FARMER ARGUES FOR
CALVES IN AUTUMN
Every Condition Is Better for Dali
ryman Then-Young Animals
Get Better Start.

Here are some arguments that a
thoughtful farmer puts up for having
the cows freshen in the fall instead of
spring:
"The fall calf usually gets a better
start in the world than the one that
arrives in the spring. The farmer
will have more time to take care of
the calves in winter than summer
the fall pastures are coming on, fur
nishing the COW an abundance of good
green stuff that produces large milk
flow. The fall pastures are more nour-
shing than the spring grasses, owing
TO the fact that they do not contain so
much water. There are no flies or
heat to bother either the COW or calf,
and If dropped early enough the calf
will get a good start and learn to eat
well before cold weather sets in.
milk products are much easier
taken care of in winter than summer
and milk and butter prices are at
their best at this time.'

LIBERAL WITH LITTLE PIGS
Much as PossibIe-Give Sow
MiIk-Producing Feed.

1t pays to feed the young pig as
much as possible, both through the
mother and later directly from the
trough. Never again will he make
such rapid and cheap gains and it pays
to keep him growing as rapidly as pos
sible while young. To this end the
sow should be given all the good, milk
producing feed she will eat. When the
pigs are about month old they will
begin to need something in addition
to the mothers milk, even though she
Is well fed.

she had feared-simply shot-hole in

Hastily she called to Miranda to get

The pasteboard box interfering with
her work, she laid 1t upon the table.
The old, brown Mexican woman ran
quickly back to the room and seized
the roll of linen from the girls hands.

EASY TO GROW RAsPBERRIEs
Bush VIII Continue in Bearing for Five
or Ten Years-EntireIy Unlike
Strawberry.

A raspberry bush will continue in
bearing for five or ten years accord
ing to the attention given, whereas q
strawberry patch is not expected to
bear more than one or two seasons be-
fore it is plowed under and a new
plantation set out. There are many
people who claim they are so busy they
cannot grow strawberries, but this
argument will not apply to the rasp-
berry, which everyone has seen -four
ishing in the fence corners of the field,
growing wild without any attention
whatever.

was then only moderately grazed. This
gave the Seeding plants from the first
years seed crop chance to develop
a good root system. BY following this
course on each quarter of the range
in turn the entire area was reseeded
naturally without depriving the stock
Of the forage on any part Of the range
in any year. The results obtained
under this plan were compared with
similar ranges grazed throughout the
season each year and with fenced
areas that were not grazed at all.
1t was found that deferred grazing
resulted in a much greater reproduc-
ton from seed than either Of the other
methods and that the production of
good forage species was particularly
great. With lands totally protected
against grazing the seeds terminate on
the surface of the ground, but, not
being planted deeply, the root systems
of the resulting plants are unable to
reach the moist lower soil and the
plants die from drought later in the
season.
The principles of deferred grazing
are being applied to national forest
ranges as rapidly as possible, and the
results in practice bear out those se-
cured experimentally. In the Year
book article already mentioned, pas
kture of 600 acres is taken for the pur-
pose of illustrating the practical ap-
plication of deferred grazing. This is
divided by cross fences into three COM
partments of approximately 200 acres
each, arranged so as to give the best
distribution of water and shade. Be-
ginning in 1916, No. should be grazed
first; No. 2 second; and No. 8 not un-
til the important forage crops have set
seed. 1t may then be grazed heavily.
Iii 1917 area No. 2 should be grazed
first, area No. 1 second, and area No.

turity, and then grazed moderately.
The following table shows the manage
ment of the three areas for period
