To get your threshing rig. It will not be long now before the grain will be ready to thresh and
that is the time you want to get in all the work you can. In order to do this and to do it good you
should have a J. I. CASE rig. The CASE steel separator is used all over the United States and is
pronounced by every one who has used it to be the superior of any machine on the market. It is
weather proof and fire proof, and you have no excessive premiums to pay. It does such clean
threshing that farmers frequently get higher prices for their clean grain. The CASE traction engine
is easily the superior of any other make on account of its pulling and climbing qualities, besides de
veloping more power per rated horse power than any other make. A medium sized job thresher and
a 15 h. p. engine would cost you about $2,000. If you are interested it would be well for you to call
or write me for catalogues and terms.

Washington, June 10 To the West
ern stockmen the present spring has
been one of the most trying in many
years. This is especially true of the
Kocky Mountain region where the sea
son has been unseasonably late with
severe snow storms long after the or
dinary period. On many of the lamb
ing grounds there the snow was so deep
that it was impossible to reach them,
and, in consequence, the lambing oper
ations were transferred to other loca
tions where the surrounding? were not
altogether satisfactory.
The extremely cold, windy weather
has also kept the green grass from
starting as early as usual, in conse
quence of which, the ranges have been
fully a month late. When the usual
time arrived for turning the stock onto !
the open ranges from the feed Ut
there was very little grass available,
and as the stockmen had used up all
their supply of hay, the stock, especial
ly the cattie, suffered somewhat for ,
want of feed.
In New Mexico the sheepmen made a
strong plea to the Forest Service to
allow them to take some of their herds
into the Pecos National Forest which
has been closed against sheep grazing ,
for several year9. The closing of this
Forest to sheep was owing to the
watershed interests involved, together .
with the question of protecting the :
young growth of timber which is com
ing forward on that Forest. However, j
the condition was so serious that after
carefully weighing the question, the
Forester suspended for a time the pro-1
hibition against sheep and 2,(MMI sheep j
will be allowed to enter that Forest to
graze until such time as the conditions
on the outside ranges become normal,
which is hoped will be as soon as the
summer rains set in early in July.
The stockmen using the public ranges
adjoining several other National For
ests in New Mexico ha'e made urgent
requests to the Forester to be allowed
to take their herds into those Forests
for feed. As those Forests are already
stocked to their full capacity, the re
quests could not be granted lest those
. already using them would be injured
and their supply of feed cut short.
I In several Forests in Wyoming and
C ilorado the fees for lambing privileges
i on National Forests will be refunded to
the sheepmen because of their inability
to use the lambing grounds. In ad-
; (lit ion to this the kc.uo:i will b: :x.en !-
e l a month later in several instances
so as to make up, as far as possible, for
the enforced reduction in the early
spring period.
On all the Forests where the winter
and spring losses have reduced the
stockmen's herds below the number
for which they have been granted a
permit, and they do not desire to pur
chase other stock to make up their
number, they will be allowed to amend
their application for the exact number
which they will graze without prejudic
ing their applications in the future.
It will, therefore.be readily seen that
the regulations of the Forest Service
for handling grazing matters are huf
(iciently flexible to take care of emer
gencies and meet all unusual conditions
which may occur from time to time.
Further than this, the manner in which
the ollicers of the Forest Service have
taken hold of this matter proves that
they are always alive to the interest of
the stockmen and more than willing to
do all in their power to protect them '
from losses. j
A pleasing illustration of the care the j
stockmen take of their animals was ;
noticed in a recent trip of Forest officers
over some of the ranges in Colorado
and Wyoming. The sheep had been
sheared at the usual time, but, as the
season was very backward and the!
animals in rather poor condition, to ;
meet unusual storms many of the sheep
men had provided small canvass blank
ets or covers for the sheep in such a
' way as to protect their backs and sides j
; which, in a measure, took the place of ,
the wool which had been taken from i
; them. Thus they were better able to i
I withstand a severe storm and the use I
j of such blankets has been the means of
saving many thousands of dollars to the
sheep owners.
