TO RECOGNIZE OVERGRAZING Use of Forage Crop Must Be Gov erned by Finer Discrimination of Plant Cover- Four Ma jor Stages. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The old saying nbout n small nmount of prevention being worth a great deal of euro applies oven to tho manage ment of grazing lands. It la much better, nnd easier If enro and fore thought are exercised, to. prevent lands from being overgrazed than to bring them back Into good condition nfter overgrazing has been allowed. How to rccognlzo overgrazing In tho beginning nnd how to prevent It arc brought out In Bulletin 701, "Plnnt Succession In Relation to Range Management," by Arthur W. Simpson, plant ecologlst of the forest service. One of tho most serious difficulties In preventing overgrazing In the past has been the lack of a means of recog nizing It in Its early stnges. So long as tho cover was more or less Intact there was little Indication that the rnnge was being slowly but certainly depleted; nnd tho depiction wns not noticed until tho more palatable and Important forngo species were seri ously injured. Enterprlslug stockmen. and those concerned with the admin istration of grazing have come to real ize that the live stock Industry has now reached a point where the inten sity of the use of tho fornge crop must be governed by a finer discrimina tion of the density of tho plunt cover nnd the condition of the stock. Reveals Four Major Stages. A careful grouping of the vegetation, up and down the scale of development, Into divisions reveals four major stages. These stnges may be readily recognized by certain "carmnrks." Tho highest nnd most stable type In tho locality studied is marked by the pre dominance of whent grass In the vege tntion; the second by porcupine grass and yellow brush; the third by fox glove, sweet sugo, and yarrow, and the fourth by annual plants like low peavlne and weeds like Douglas knot weed and tarweed. Whether the rango Is being overgrazed or not mny be de termined by noting what plants are In creasing In abundance. Two Important Objects. In any well-planned method of graz ing designed to hnndle lands as per manent grazing nreas, two objects must bo kept in mind. One is the cropping of the herbage at n time In tho season when growth and reproduc tion will bo Interfered with as little as possible. The other Is the utilization of the forage crop when it Is most needed nnd when the herbage Is pnla tnble and nutritious. Grazing may cause either higher or lower stnges of vegetation to take possession of the Overgrazed Cattle Range on Left range, depending chiefly upon the rlosoness with which the herbage Is grazed annually nnd the time when It is cropped. If the forage Is grazed closely before seed maturity ench year tho general trend will bo toward the lower stnges; if, on the other baud, the crop Is maintained In a high stage of vigor and protected from grazing un til ufter seed maturity every third or fourth year, tho higher types of vege tation will becomo predominant nnd tho carrying capacity of tho range will Increase. Tho Investigations which brought out the results given In this bulletin were conducted by the forest service in tho vicinity of the Great Basin ex periment station, located In that part of tho Wnsntch mountains embraced by the Mnntl National forest in central Utah. The area studied lies between 0.000 nnd 11.000 feet In elevation, and Is typical summer range. The species making up tho permanent vegetation nre similar to those on the summer range within tho national forest In northern Now Mexico, Utah, western Colorado and parts of Idaho and Ne-rada. SUREST WAY TO HAVE GARDEN NEXT SPRING Impossible to Dig Properly After Ground Freezes Hard. Essentials Are Framework of Boards and Sash or Light Canvas for Cov ering Fill Pit With Leaves In Early Winter. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture) 1 . Tho surest way to have an enrly gar den next spring is to prepnro n hot bed nnd n cold frame, or a combina tion of the two, this fall. After tho ground freezes hard, It will be Im possible to dig n pit properly nnd con struct the frnmo preparatory to mak ing a hotbed. Tho essentials nre n framework of boards nnd ensh on light canvas for n covering. Standard hotbed sash nro threo by six feet In dec, nnd the frame can be made to fit one, two, or more of these snsh. The framework of boards should bo 18 to 24 Inches high at the back or north side, nnd 10 to 12 Inches high In the front, or south side. The frame should bo so arranged that the sash will not only slldo on ways but also that they may bo lifted or tilted at any nnglo for ventilation. The framework should bo pnlnted, and tho sash should bo given nt least two coats of white lead Getting a Cold Frame Ready. and linseed oil, with a little drier added before the glnss Is put In. In glazing hotbed sash tho putty is first spread In the grooves on the sash bars, the glass then being bedded In the putty nnd well pressed down. The bot tom light or glnss In each row should he put In first; then the second light should overlap the first one nbout one fourth of nn Inch; nnd so on until each section of the sash Is filled, the 'nst piece of glass being cut to fill out the remaining spnee. Each piece of glnss Is fastened In place by means of spe cial glazing points driven Into the wooden sash bar. The hotbed pit should be 12 to 14 Inches deep, nnd just a trifle smaller than the framework of bonrds. 'The dirt removed from tho pit is used to bnnk nround the frame. The pit mny be filled with leaves during the caYly winter to prevent tho soli freezing, nnd the snsh stored where they will bo protected from tho weather until time to start plants in the beds. If this part of the work Is done now, thero will bo no dlfilculty In getting nn early start for a spring gnrden. APPLE POMACE FOR FEEDING Refuse From Cider Making Is Good for Live Stock Does Not De crease Milk Flow. According to experiments nt Ver mont station apple pomnce, which Is refuse from apples used In cider mak ing, makes good feed for cattle. The station hns been Investigating this product for a number of years, nnd It hns been found tl)nt feeding pomace does not decrease tho amount or detract from tho quality of the mill:. Tho feed should be fed lightly nt first, until cows become nccustomcd to It, when us much ns 85 pounds dally can bo fed. Ench ton of pomace brings on to the farm six pounds of j nitrogen, nve pounds or. potash and two pounds of phosphoric acid. Farmers who live near elder mills where this pomnce' Is avnlloblo might well consider feeding it to their cows If It can be obtnlned nt n rensonnhle price. PROTECT YOUNG TREE TRUNK Hogs, Horses and Cattle Will Do Much Harm If Some Kind of Screen Is Not Provided. (By W. J. MOimiLt,. Colorado Agricul tural College.) Trees nnd shrubs occnslonnlly re quire pruning, but hogs, horses nnd cnltlo nro poor workmen to employ on that task. As a rule, trees and shrubs should bo grown where certain protec tion can bo afforded against stock. Even the hotiHe cat has been known to kill young trees by scratching the bnrk. It Is frequently advisable to protect tho lower portion of tho young tree trunk with wire window screen, which will nlso servo ns n protection agnlnst rabbits, except In deep snow. WORK ORCHARD TO CAPACITY Pumpkins and Mangels Make Good Winter Feed for Dairy Cows and Poultry Flock. Crops like pumpkins nnd mnngels nro lino for dnlry or poultry feed dur ing tho winter nnd tho farmer with cows nnd hens can often grow theso crops In the orchnrd and take tho ro- turns from tho land Id milk and eggs. WINTER GREENS FOR FOWLS Cabbages, Turnips, Beets, Potatoes, Etc, Are Suitable Feeds for Cold Weather. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of AKTtculturc.) If the best results nro to be obtained with poultry they must be furnished with a plentiful nupply of green feed. Whore fowls have unlimited range on n farm they will Becuro green feed during the spring, but during tho win ter it must bo supplied for them. Tho question of how to supply the hest feed nt the least cost Is one that each poultry keeper must decide largely for himself. It will probably make but little difference what kind of green feed Is supplied, provided it Is relished by the fowls. Cabbages, turnips, beets, potatoes, etc., nre suitable for this purpose. The larger roots nnd the cabbages may be suspended by means of u wire or string, or they may be plnced on tho floor, In which case it would be well to split tho tur nips or beets lengthwise with n large knife. Potatoes and turnips should be fed cooked. The mangel Is nn excel lent root for feeding raw. Cut clover soaked In boiling water fed alone or with the mnsh Is good. Clover menl nnd ground nlfalfa make very good feeds for this purpose. Whore tho fowls are yarded nnd not enough green feed Is furnished by tho yard a small patch of clover, alfalfa or rape may bo sown. Any onp of these, If frequently mowed, will furnish a great quantity of green feed In n form which Is relished by tho fowls.

As a general thing fowls should have onco n daj about all tho green feed they will cat MILK AIDS EGG PRODUCTION Value as Part of Poultry Ration Strik ingly Demonstrated at Purdue University. That milk has a value as a part of tho poultry ration wns strikingly dem onstrated by the results obtained on one of tho poultry demonstration farms which are established and conducted by Purdue university. One farmer who had been feeding milk to his flock discontinued doing so with the arrival of tho summer months thinking (hat the fowls would pick up enough Insects to make up for Hie food value that was furnished by the milk. Almost Immediately, how ever, his dnlly egg' production began falling off until, In onc month, it had dropped off to one-half what It had been for the month previous. When milk wus again made n part of tho ration, the dally egg production grad ually Increased. As u result of tho milk fed, tho production tho following month was as good as in tho spring months nnd the extra profit mndo moro thnn paid for tho milk fed.

II You Need a Medicine You Should Have tho Bosl Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex tensively adrcrtiied, nil at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative Take almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system tho remedy is recommended by thoce who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says ''Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost eTery case it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liter and bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; alxo mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles lor sale at all drug stores. Adv. Cost of Politeness. "Politeness costs nothing." "That's n mistake," replied the tnnn who does not articulate well.

CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE Investigation Has Shown Them to Con tain a Satisfactory Amount of Needed Protein. Flour from tho cattails of tho swamps hns been found by the plnnt chemical laboratory at Washington to contain nbout (he same amount of pro tein ns rice and corn flours, with some what less fat thnn whent Hour, nnd It was regnrded us n promising substi tute with whent flour to the extent of 10 to 20 per cent. In tho Investigation, of which he hns given nn account In the Scientific Monthly. Prof. P. W Clnnssen tried tho flour In several ways, both ns pnrt substitute with wheat flour In baking nnd ns corn starch substitute for puddings. Bis cuits containing 50 nnd oven 100 per cent of this flour proved to be palat able, not very different from those of whent flour nlono, while tho puddings had nn ngreeoble flavor nnd were sat isfactory. Tho flour mnterlnl Is ob tnlned from tho Inrgo underground rootstnlks or rhizomes, of which It forms n stnrch core throe-eighths to one-half Inch In dlnmeter. The dried rhizomes from nn acre of cattails were shown to equal 10,702 pounds, and tho core substance, pnssed through a mcnt grinder nnd sifted, yielded flno flour nt the rate of 5,500 pounds per acre.
