DEPLETION OF RANGE GRASS
Injury Caused by Premature Grazing
and Lack Of Utilization Of
Forage Crop.

/ Range depletion is due in a large
measure to premature grazing and to
lack OF uniform utilization Of the for
age crop, investigations now being car
ried on at the Great Basin experiment
station by grazing specialists In the
forest service Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture show. These
experiments, which have been con-
Quoted over four-year period have
been for the purpose Of ascertaining
Just how certain range bunch grasses
are affected by different systems Of
grazing.
1t was found that the yield Of violet
wheat grass when removed by cutting
once in a season, at the time the seed
crop matured, was four and two
tenths times as large as when 1t was
removed four times In a season and
three and eight-tenths times as large
as when heritage was removed twice
in the season.
Native bronze grass, on the other
hand, yielded six times as much when
harvested twice during the season,
but the yield from one cutting was
three and three -tenths times as much as
when 1t was removed four times. This
means In range revegetation that the
grass native there must be taken into
consideration and a system Of grazing
used that is suitable to 1t.
The experiments also showed the
striking difference In water content
in heritage as the season advances. In
the LEAKAGE Of the violet wheat grass
harvested once In season, just before
seed maturity, the water content aver
aged Al per cent. Plants grazed twice,
late In the season, contained an aver
age moisture content Of 81 per cent,
while plants cropped four times in a
season contained an average Of 70
per cent Of water. Early In the spring
the young LEAKAGE may contain as
much as IS per cent of water. This

EXPLAINS HOLD OF BUDDHISM
Meets the Cravings Of Eastern Peo-
pies, Much as Does Christianity
in the West.

The frequent destruction Of temples
In Japan by fire suggests an idea;
their speedy reconstruction Is a proof
of the vitality Of their religion, says
an eastern correspondent. Allowing
for the difference In the standard of
living, the amount Of money poured
into the Golfers of the Buddhist and
Shinto temples Is perhaps about equal
to that raised for similar purposes in
the Christian countries. The strong
hold maintained by Buddhism, despite
the advance of scientific knowledge, is
due to somewhat the same reasons
which explain the flourishing condi-
ton of Christianity. Buddhism meets
the cravings Of its adherents In pretty
much the same way as other religions.
What the average man wants Is pros
perity in this life and the hope Of an
indefinitely extended future life as
good or better than this. Good luck
here below and happiness without end
In ''ano 20" ("that world" the Japan
csc popular expression for "the be-
yond"), and both to be obtained with
the least possible trouble; this is what
the average unthlnking man wants.
And Buddhism promises both on con-
dltion of the performance Of cereno-
NAL duties, which must, however, be
of such a nature as to support the
priests,

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
wesult of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in q healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
Rans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scripton, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm.
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
