It is a faot, however, tbat none of tbe ranges sup port tbe stook which tbey did form eny, and rsseedlng experiments will therefore be undertaken In this sec tion of the oountiy also. The msthod of handling stock Is also to bs considered. Every stock man knows that stock do not waste as muoh feed when unrestricted in their movements as when olose herd ed. An experimental pasture was en closed last summer In the lmnaha national Forest In Oregon, which will be a model for others next sea son.
