SHEEP, CATTLE
ON SAME RANGE
EXTENSION AGENT EXPLAINS sYS-
TEM USED on sH RANCH
IN CUSTER COUNTY

Given proper management, sheep
and cattle can probably be run on
che same range, says N. A. Jacob
sen, extension agent for Custer
| and Powder River c0mntfes- As an
! example he cites the system used
| On the SH ranch I'm Caster county.
Kenneth Mclean is manager Of the
ranch and he has Saved" his range
| for cattle by open herding and bedding
out the sheep, according TO Jacobsen.
The $4,000 acre ranch is gTassed chiefly
with blue joint and western wheat
grass. There is also considerable gram
ma grass, early bluegrass and some
sagebrtish At present the ranch has
only sheep, although as a rule cattle
are generally run.
In operating this ranch, jacobsen ex-
plains that early this summer $500
head Of sheep including 1000 lambs,
we're thrown into one band. They were
then drifted about the range In open
formation. The camp was moved with
the sheep SO that no one camp ground
or watering place was used twice In
succession. The sheep were moved often
enough so that they grazed no longer
than a week on any portion OF the
range.
In checking the range In late summer
after the grasses had matured, Jacob
sen said that it was hardly poSsibleY
TO see where the sheep had grazed
previously during the season. The sheep
seemed to have eaten the leaves OF
the gramma grass and other succulent
fine-leafed forages in preference to the
wheatgrass. The seed was left on the
stalk Of all varieties.
Grasses that showed no signs Of graz
ing were bluejoint on the bench and
bottom lands, and bunchgraSs on the
sleeper slopes. Normally grazed by
cattle, these grasses showed a dense
growth from six to 10 inches high.
Although there were no cattle grazed
on this range following the sheep,
there seemed to be an abundance Of
feed sufficient to carry the number Of
cattle the range should normally sup
port" jacobsen said.
Commenting on the possibilities,
Jacobsen says the SH ranch experience
Indicates there is some possibility of
running sheep and cattle advantageous
y on ranches with large holdings. The
experience shows that running both
classes Of livestock would bring greater
Utilization Of the range without dam
age.
He adds that the lambs, all Of Ram
,ouillet breeding, averaged more than
70 pounds when delivered last fall.

A FINE MAN is GONE

north was the high compliment paid by friend of

for the ka-Gastineau operations Salmon Greek

Many years ago Mr.. Warner a mining VEN

men who had been badly injured in powder blast
during their mining operations Charley" he was

aboard and set record for fast dogteam travel from
Fort Yukon to Fairbanks with his suffering passen-

The Business Cycle"
New York Tines

New York Times
The upward movement of the past year in prices
and business activity lately much accelerated has
occurred in England in the United States. British
prices have fact risen rapidly than and
talk of possible "cyclical reaction" shortly ahead
has been heard at London well at Washington
The London Economist citing Professor Macgregor
admits that the cycle of prosperity and adversely is
real and recksons that in the pastt carries its fig
ures of the alternating upward and downward swing
only to 1909-the interval between one cyclical high
point and another averaged about eight years That
would be the interval between autumn of 1929 and
autumn of 1887.
But both The Economist and Professor Mac
gregor make the mistake of not distinguishing be-
backs which occur frequently. For instance it
assumed in the figures cited that between 1873 and
1909 there were five formidable depression periods
placed respectively in sequence to 1873, 1881 1899
1897 and 1906. This conception of economic history
doubtless underlies current tek of another 1929"
But the reaction in business following 1881 and 1897
in each short-lived.
In our own trade history, much the same may be
said of the set-backs in 1908 and 1921. on each of
which occasions business activity soon rose normally
to higher level than before The explanation is that
depression after major setback and the earlier
stages of recovery which together usually occupied
five six years apt to create conditions under
which finance, industry and prices had moved ahead
more rapidly than the growth of actual consumption.
REIMBURSEMENT inevitable, but it temporary.
The next really severe depression period came only
when prices and of credit in the course of an in
fatuated BOOM had been carried to disastrous
breaking point
The philosophy, once very generally accepted of
the business cycle that eight ten years after
major crisis not long enough period for the
financial and business community to have forgotten
the lessons which that crash had taught. It only
after the smaller intervening reaction had been
mounted without serious trouble and when memory
of the last disastrous reckoning had begun to fade,
that the financial mind would begin to be possessed
with the notion that living now in new era
of boundless prosperity in which old rules of bust
ness prudence and financial common might be
dismissed. This distinctly the community's atti-
tude on the eve 1907 and 1929 That its attitude
the same today will hardly be commended.
