even tho i were extremely difficult
for US to get much wool of the sort
that &c wanted next winter most of us

compared with the women lover

No Raise In Cost of Grazing.

While the high price of honey is
said to be due to the increased cost
OF flowers to the bees, no matter how
high the grass grows this coming sum-
mer the government will not raise the
price Of board to the horses, cattle
and sheep that will range on the for
est reserve. The cost of grazing re-
mains the same for 1918 as it was for
1917. A horse must pay eighty-five
cents for the privilege of getting what
he can during twelve months; a COW
pays sixty-eight cents and a sheep
seventeen cents, and a goat gets the
same rates as a sheep.
