That at least one-twentieth of all
stock bred on the open range of the
west dies before it reaches market
age and that much of this loss can
be stopped is shown by results re
ported from the national forests.
This waste Is said to add millions of
dollars to the people's meat bill and
gives one more cause of the high cost
of living. Winter storms and sum
mer droughts strew the ranges with
the bones of cattle and sheep; pred
atory animals take a heavy toll; poi
sonous plants sometimes kill half the
animals In a herd almoBt over night.
Cattle contract anthrax, blackleg and
other diseases, get stuck in bog holes
or slip off icy hillsides: and sheep
pile up and die of suffocation. In
sects which madden and kill swell
the total losses as do a multitude of
other minor causes of death and In
Jury. How Disease Is Prevented
If any of the animals to be grazed
upon a national forest seem to be
suffering from disease, the stock is
subjected to a rigid Inspection by the
federal bureau of animal Industry
before It Is allowed to enter the for
est. If an animal grazing on the
forest develops suspicious symptoms
the permittee is requested to remove
it. The carcasses of animals dying
from infectious or communicable
diseases must be burled or burned,
preferably the latter. To protect
their stock against blackleg permit
tees are encouraged to use vaccine
furnished free by the department of
agriculture. Sheep suffering from
scab or from liy and leg disease are
barred from the forests until they
have been treated in conformity w'th
the requirements of the bureau of
animal industry. This cooperation
between the two bureaus has made
it possible to keep the forest ranges
remarkably free from all forms of
Btock diseases.
Stock illed by TVild Ueat
The settlement and development
of the west does not apepar to have
greatly reduced the number of ani
mals which prey upon domestic live
stock, and the loss from that source
alone runs Into the millions of dol
lars each year. Within the forests,
however, the number of domestic an
imals killed has been appreciably re
duced by the campaign against wild
animals waged by the officers of the
service. During the past eight
years forest officers have killed over
thirty-five thousand predatory ani
mals, consisting of coyotes, wolves,
bear, mountain lion, wild cats, lynx,
etc.
The losses due to poisonous plants
have been in the aggregate the most
numerous and the most difficult to
guard against. Stockmen know gen
erally that certain flats or valleys or
hlllsirto rlopes couiu not be used for
f.-.-mg without heavy losses of
.ock, but there was much doubt as
successful, under normal conditions.
The only difficulty has been that the
animals suffering from poison are
generally out upon the open range
and may not be observed by their
owner until It Is too late to apply an
antidote. The forest service has
therefore arranged to meet this situ
ation In an experimental way by
equipping a limited number of rang
ers with hypodermic syringes and the
necessary chemicals. Armed with
this equipment a forest officer can
in a few moments administer a treat
ment which may save a 840 steer.

! to what caused the loss. Gradually
il was determined that the losses
were due to various species of plants.
Later, it was learned that in most
instances these plants while extreme
ly poisonous during certain periods
of the year, were comparatively in
noxious during the remainder of the
grazing season. The forest officers
determined the various plant species
which cause death or Injury of live
stock, the periods during which each
species Is dangerous, and the areas
of forest land upon which the plants
are sufficiently abundant to cause
losses of stock. The next step was
to devise ways and means of pre
venting the losses. Where deQnlte
information Is obtainable the outer
limits of the poison areas are marked
by warning placards which give the
name of the poisonous plant, the
kind of stock to which It is injurious,
and the period during which It is
most harmful. With this warning,
stockmen are enabled to so handle
their stock as to prevent the occup
ancy of the poison area during its
danger period. In cases where the
areas of poisonous plants are com
paratively smal lthe permittees have
been encouraged to fence them, ma
terial for fence construction being
furnished free of charge by the for
est service. The result of this work
has been to reduce the number of
animals lost through poisonous plant
as compared to the numbers lost
several years previously.
Losseft from Poison I'npreveutable
Notwithstanding all precautions
which may be taken against stock
poisoning, losses from this source
must be expected. During the past
several years the bureau of plant In
dustry has been making a study of
poisonous plants and of antidotes. In
the case of larkspur, for example,
the bureau has determined methods
of treatment which are reasonably
