Stock Raising Homestead Bill

Stock Raising Homestead Bill
For many years one of the most
important problems which have con-
fronted the stockman has been the
proper use of the unappropriated, I'M
reserved public lands of the western
states which have been treated as
Uncle Sans free public pastures. For
nearly ten years group of us have
struggled, with varying success, to de-
wise some plan to bring these public
grazing lands under a just, reasonable,
and practical system of government
control, similar to that exercised with
in the national forests.
For a long time our friends. the
sheepmen. were bitterly opposed to
such control, but of recent years they
have seen the error of their ways and
have joined with US in the support of
federal control, as embodied in various
leasing bills introduced during recent
sessions of congress. Most of you
are familiar with the great public
interest created in the discussion of
what are known as the Kent leasing
bill and the Ferguson 640-acre stock
raising homestead bill, and the hear
ings on these bills in congress some
two years ago.
1T became very evident to me dur
ing the hearings before the house
subject, which | attended in the
spring of 1915 that a sentiment had
developed in congress favorable to a
stock raising homestead bill, and
while | very earnestly felt that there
was comparatively small percentage
of the 270, 000, 300 acres of public graz
ing lands on which $40 acres of graz
ing land, with a possibility of raising
forage on Q portion of this acreage,
would reasonably support a family
it seemed TO me that the best policy
of the association, looking at it from
the standpoint of public welfare-a
standard which this association has
always endeavored to adopt, and to
which, in my judgement, it owes n
large share of its success-was to en-
deayor to bring this stock raising
homestead bill into such shape that it
would prove really a home making
measure, and not an opportunity for
exploitation through the operations OF
the professional locator and Spectator.
The Ferguson bill failed of passage
in the last congress. In the present
congress a new bill was introduced bv
Mr.. Scott Ferris, chairman of the
house committee in public lands. who
has given this question much study.
A bill somewhat similar in character
but different in certain fundamental
features, was introduced in the senate.
THE stock men, represented
through their national associa ton
the American National Live Stock as
ISOLATION and the National Wool Crow
ers' association-took the position that
if either of these bills were to operate
satisfactorily and result in real home
making, they must necessarily be
based on the classification of these
public lands. so that, when a man APP
piled under the law, for stock rails
ing homestead. he might know that
from an authoritative classification
made by men trained in western range
conditions, there would be every rea-

Foot and Mouth Disease-TubercuIo

Y OOI anu N1OuLn OlSGdSe-l uDeTCutOSlS
1T is a matter of great gratifica-
ton for me to be able to state that
the past year has seen the apparently
complete eradication in this country of
the fOot-and mouth disease, the pre-
valence of which so disturbed live
stock conditions in 1914 and 1915
The federal and state authorities
carried on a vigorous warfare against
this highly infectious malady, which
has apparently resulted in its COM
plete eXtirpation. While there were
some rumors of an outbreak this fall,
later investigation showed that the
animals infected did not have the
foot mouth disease, and the last
actual case of this trouble was dis
posed of in February, 1916.
Throughout the nation practical
methods are being adopted for the
control and eradication of tuberculosis
among cattle and swine. Regulations
of various states on this subject are
steadily improving. The government
is doing its utmost to cooperate with
the state authorities. and the secretary
of agriculture, in his report recently
issued has recommended a systematic
campaign for the eradication of this
disease. and a national appropriation
of $4,000 Tor this subject All these
measures and activities of the govern
ment tend to safeguard the health of
the cattle of this country, and guaran-

allow an expenditure of only 5 cents
per person. Some OF them will prove
slightly more expensive and few
possibly trife cheaper. The cost may
not cover vegetables where large
quantities are called for, as in stew.
A shank OF beef is the cheapest
meat on the market. As a meat it
proves not so cheap because Of the
small amount of edible meat on it.
However, made into good soup with
plenty OF vegetables and rice or bar
ley, it satisfies the desire for meat
and furnishes a nourishing dish.

In some recent dietary work done
by my classes in the high school the
question came frequently, What kind
of meat can you serve that doesn't
cost much? What is there besides
plain stew" The idea seems very gen.
eral that steaks, chops, roasts and
stews are the only meat possibilities;
and when the first three are barred
by probibitlve cost, there seems no
resources beyond the last And of
stews, the kind most generally known
and used is the inevitable beef stew
with potatoes and carrots. Not that
such a stew is not palatable; it is, but
it is also tireson1e. The following

The only inexpensive meat that can
be treated as the choice cuts are
treated is hamburger steak. Because
it is in such small bits, and the meat
fiber is so broken, it can be broiled

flavor that only broillng and PAN broil-
ing can give. A thick cake of ham
