TRAMP TELLS OF

berry picking season around Troy.
Blair and Wathena.
There is always an overflow OF stran-
gers In Troy during the berry season,
and these homeless and transient Ia
borers are usually the first arrivals.
Last year they arrived little ahead OF
schedule, and weeks steady rainfall
after their arrival threw them on the
county's hands. A beanery was main
tanned by citizens where stew, coffee
and bread were supplied the chilly and
hungry Migrants. Two weary wander
ers, one of whom evidently weathered
last years bread line, sat in reminis-
cence on the depot platform the other
day and gave vent to the following:
"Say, DO, me stomach's demandin'

San Antonio, Tex.-Campaigning upon
the Mexican border is no pleasant pic
mic In these hot summer days for the
thousands OF unacclimated men from
the northern states. Notwithstanding
the many discomforts that will be en-
countered by the raw and unseasoned
military men they will find portions of
the frontier region full Of fascinating
interest. This is particularly true Of
that part Of the border which extends
from the mouth of the Rio Grande
along the course Of that stream for
more than 600 miles. When the upper
reaches Of the Rio Grande begin to
break into rough, barren, monoto-
nous country that runs westward all
the way to the Pacific ocean the wild
beauty and striking strangeness that
characterize the lower border begin to
wane.
There is a marked difference In the
summer climate Of the various points
along the border, due to the varying
altitude and the nearness Of the ocean.

STOCK REQUIRE MUCH SALT
Best Way to Provide Necessary Article
of Diet Is to Place Barrel in
Sheltered Place.

Live stock are more likely to be
sailed when on pasture than when kept
up during the winter, even though 1t
Is more convenient to provide the salt
during the winter. The habit of salt
ing the cattle once a week, or once
every two weeks, when on pasture, Is
we'll established and quite generally
followed.
In winter, and for that matter at all
times, the best way to provide salt is
to place ordinary graduated or bar
rel salt under shelter, where the live
stock may run to it and eat as they
want It, Some mix ashes and char
coal with it, while others mix ground
phosphate rock. If salt is mixed with
the feed it should be remembered that
one-half to three-fourths of an ounce
daily is sufficient for an animal weigh
ing 700 to 1000 pounds.-The Pro

In connection with the effort to in
troduce the best methods of handling
all classes of live stock on the national
forests, a study of the goat industry
has been inaugurated by officials In
charge who say that In parts of the
southwest large numbers of Angora
goats are raised for their hair. In
1915 over $4,000 of the animals were
grazed on national forests In six
states.
The goats raised in the West feed
mostly on brushy underground, which
they are said to like even better than
the succulent grass found In the same
region. On this account, the forest
service officials say that In many
places the goats are really desirable,
as they thin out the dense brush and
allow grass to get started. In num-
Der of instances, it is stated, new cat
tie range will thus be provided.
Many people think that the forest
ers have been opposed to letting goats
range on the national forests, but Of
ficials say that this is not true. In
some places, particularly in hardwood
regions, goats damage young forest
growth. In many of the coniferous
forests Of the West, however, this dam
age is slight If the range is not over
stocked and the animals are properly
handled. Often, it is said, they are Of
real benefit in keeping down infiam-
mable brush and thus aiding in pro-
tecting forests from fire.
The goats are grazed in bands of
600 to $500, though the smaller herds
are more common. Sheds are neces-
sary during the kidding season, since
the newly-born kids are almost as
helpless as babies and must be pro-
tected from the cold and wet. After
