Revegetation on
Forest Ranges

In order to preserve the forage ana
stabilize the livestock industry to tho
greatest extent possible the range for
age cannot be erased with safety year
after year uniess the cropping 10 90
adjusted as to permit the vegetation to
get an occasional rest during the
growing period. Forage plants which
are grazed year after year regardless
tual starvation or produce only a small
amount OF weak growing forage.
The most common causes OF forage
destruction are (D too heavy grazing.
CD pasturing stock too early In the
season. and CD grazing too frequently
during the growing season.
In the Improvement OF WORKOUT
ranges one of the important problems
Is to distribute the stock SO that each
portion of the range will bear it's share
OF early cropping. and. in turn. will be
protected until the main forage plants
have ripened their seeds. To accom- I.
plish this a system OF grazing known
as deferred and rotation grazing" has
been developed. the results of which
are published in department of agri-
culture bulletin No. "a. 1918.
This investigation showed clearly.
among other things. that the removal
of the heritage year after year during
the early part Of the growing season
weakens the plants, delays resumption
of growth. advances the time Of ma
turity and decreases the seed produc-
ton and the fertility of the seed crop
1t Is also clearly brought out that graz
ing after seed maturity in no way In
lterferes with the production of forage
and fertile seed crop. The study
showed that deferred grazing can b.
applied practically wherever ample
water facilities for stock exist or may
be developed.
In applying the deferred and rota
ton system of grazing the most seri
ously depleted portion of the range I,
selected first, and Is not grazed until
after seed maturity. While this arel
is being reseeded the remainder will b,
grazed during the early part of tn,
season. that is. before seed maturity
: After the area upon which grazing ha
: been deferred Is reseeded q secon,
: area is selected. The first reserves
area is then grazed moderately befor
seed maturity so as to injure tn
young Seeding plants as little as pos
sible.
BY the adoption of this method ther
is no necessity of reducing the mum

being revegetated. After the entir
allotment has been reseeded late Q
deferred grazing Is alternated. first o
one area and then on another, in orde
to give the vegetation a "breathin

Home Tanning of
Wild Animal Skins

When IL Is desired to preserve the
skins OF Wild animals which have been
shot or trapped. these may be tanned
either with the hair on or on. as de-
sired Hair can be removed from hides
by soaking them in tepid water-n,ade
alkaline by I've lime. The s-i's ing
recipe for tanning liquor a. .urr red
oy the biological survey of tie led
States department of agricui,-.s.
To each gallon OF water add one
quart of salt and one-half ounce Of
sulphufic acid. This mixture should
not be kept in a metal container. Thin
skins are tanned by this liquor In one
day: heavy skins must remain in IL
longer. They may remain In Il indef-
initely without harm.
When removed from this liquor the
skins are washed several times In
soapy water. wrung as dry as possible
and rubbed on the flesh side with a
cake OF hard soap. They are then fold
ed in the middle. hung lengthwise over
line. hair side out. and left to dry.
When both surfaces are barely dry and
the interior is still moist they are laid
over smooth. rounded board and
scraped on the flesh side with the
edge of worn fiat file or similar

ner layer is removed and the skins be.

then stretched, rubbed and twisted un.

still hard and stiff the soaping. drying
and stretching process is repeated unit
the entire skin is soft. Fresh butter OIL
other animal fat worked into skin,
while they are warm and then worked
out again in dry hardwood sawdust Of
extracted by a hasty bath in gasolin,
increases their softness.

Bessie Eats Heavy.

Bessie Is one of the champion con-
sumers OF the universe. according TO
results OF studies OF the United States
department OF agriculture and Purdue
university In the neighborhood Of Por-
ter county. Indiana. where Uncle Sam
kept tab for two years on the food re-
quirements OF about 3ss cows that
were producing market milk for Chi
cago. As COW living expenses have in
creased proportionatsly to those of the
human family. these results are nQta-
BILE As an index to which the average
dairyman or the owner Of family COW
can refer In doping out" the menus
| and amounts OF feed which his animal
or animals require.
The grand average maintenance and
production ration for the good grade
COW yielding about 1000 pounds of
milk a year included 2,04S pounds OF
grain. as well as 1901 pounds OF hay
and corn slower. 7.27s pounds OF siiage
and I20 pounds of straw or bedding.
The average COW required u little less
than one and one-half acres OF good
pasture to furnish grazing for six
months of the year. To keep her In
proper condition and to milk and feed
her regularly required lsA5 hours OF
human labor. as well as 1872 hours OF
horse labor to haul the milk.
