CATTLE ON FEDERAL RANGES
Nearly 100000 More Raised on Colo
- RADIO Government Land Than
Ever Before.

Denver-Almost 100000 more head
of cattle were raised on the forest
ranges of the government in Colorado
during the last season than in 1915,
according to figures submitted by the
Denver branch of the bureau. The
season has been unusual, according to
the grazing department of the bureau,
but the cattle furnished to the market
from the forest ranges have been
shipped direct to the killer and have
not required feed lot finishing.
Permits have been issued during
the season for almost 1.125.00O head
to Craze on the forest reserves. Nine
hundred and two thousand, one hun
dred and forty-siX sheep had permits,
and 979 goats. The increase during
the grazing season probably brought
the number up to more than 100000
sheep turned over to owners at the
Put Ban on Eastern Cattle and hogs.
Cattle were second to sheep, per-
mits being approved for 317.801 head
of cattle, and 10.1S9 head of horses.
Many of the range horses were
broken at once and put into the mar
ket for service in the European war.
This is the first year in the history
of the forest records that Colorado
forests were stocked to their full ca
pacity aud officials say that permits
were refused for approximately $4,000
cattle and 215,0OO sheep. The figures
mean two things to the forestry Off
cials-that Colorado stock raisers are
coming to realize the full worth of
the forest ranges and that this real
ization is going to put Colorado in a
more important place in the stock
raising industry.

this bullet proof device on his ma
chimes which first attracted the atten-
ton of his adversaries last December.
During that month he and his assist
ants brought down sixteen British aero
planes without damage to their own
machines. The French loss is believed
to have been fully as large, although
statistics In this as in all French casu-
alties have been withheld from the
public.
The chief value OF the Fokker is its
speed, this being over a hundred miles
an hour and exceeding by twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour anything which
the British or the French monOplanes
can accomplish, and Fokker himself
seems to be responsible for this unique
feature of his machine. The gun Is
stationary. The fiier has only to steer
the monoplane.
In action the Fokker rises swiftly to
a great height. 1900 feet or more and
above the air craft of the British and
French, and there it awaits the appear
anee below of the enemy. Then it
stands on its head and dives, sending
down a stream of bullets which forms
a cone, at the apex Of which is its own
gun. The cylinder covers every inch of
the victims immediate area of escape.
Two men operate the steering gear.

cases when the Fokker is able to take
range directly behind its enemy, aim
ing then along a straight line which
covers the enemy's pilot, engine and

thing In one fusillade.
About five years ago Fokker made
his appearance In the German flying
corps. and his first monoplane was re-
ceived with such small enthusiasm
there that the invention was offered to
the British government. Some English
experts examined 1t. recommended it
as being uncapsizable, but so badly
constructed that 1t made the fier's life
anything but secure. They therefore
declined to recommend its purchase by
Britain.
Nothing more was heard of Fokkei
except in a general way until his for
midable new monoplanes entered the
field last December.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Feb. 25.-There were
no new developments in the strike at
the local packing plants up TO the
noon hour, although surface indica-
lions point to an early settlement.
Cattle market as a whole showed no
change. Local packers supported the
fat cattle deal and the outlet for use
full grades of beef steers, butcher
stock, bulls and veals was quoted
steady with the previous day. Stock
els and feeders continued to enjoy a
broad call and the strength that de-
veloped earlier in the week was firm
ly held.
The days receipts of hogs showed
a decrease compared with recent
days. Urgent shipping demand, to-
gether with some inquiry from local
packers, aided sellers in maintaining
prices on a steady level. Top for the
day landed at sS.25, while the bulk
of sales covered a spread of $1,000
SIS.
Hardly enough sheep and lambs ar
rived to give a basis for comparison,
and prices remained nominally
steady.
