FOREST SERVICE
New National Forest Range Re­
gulations Approved by Sec­
retary Wilson.
’Washington, March; 25.—The Sec­
retary of Agriculture has approved a
revised form of the grazing regula­
tions which govern use of the National
Forest ranges. In the opinion of the
Department officers, the most im­
portant departures from the old regu­
lations are found, first, in the fact
that provision is made for recoguiticn
of a permanent National advisory
board representing the sheep and cat­
tle interests, which wil confer annual­
ly with the Secretary of Agriculture
concerning grazing matters; and
secondly, in the laying down of a rule
that on forest where the quulity of
range and advantages for raising
cattie and sheep ate equal, the year
long rate for Shéep after the season
of 1911 Will be thirty per cent of the
yearlong rate for cattle.
The new regulations have been made
the subject of extended and most
careful consideration and are pro­
mulgated at the present time as the
result of a general revision made of
all the regulations governing the use
of the National Forests. Before de-
eiding on the grazing regulations,
Secaetary Wilson invited representa­
tives of the two great National or-
organizatlons of stockmen, the Nation­
al Wool Growers’ Association and the
American National Live Stock As­
sociation, to present their views to
him on grazing matters, and to make
any suggestions which they might
wish to offer concerning the proposed
regulations.

For Diseases of the Skin.
Nearly all diseases of the skin such
as eczema, tetter, salt rheum and
barbers’ itch, are characterized by an
intense itching and smarting, which
often makes life a burden and disturbs
sleep and rest. Quick relief may be
had by applying Chamberlain’s Salve.
It allays the itching and smarting
almost instantly. Many cases have
been cured by its use. For sale by

Teaching Farmers by Mail
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­
vallis, Ore., March 28—The principal
of making the college of direct,
practical service to every tax-payer
of the state of Oregon, of carrying its
assistance and instruction out to those
who are unable to attend the courses
at Corvallis, is demonstrated in a
striking manner by Oregon Agricultu­
ral College in its new correspondence
course in farm accounting and business
methods, given by the school of com­
merce under Dean J. A. Bexell.
One advantage to the farmers, in
addition to the fact that, it is free to
all, that it can be taken up at any
time, and carried on at the convenience
of the student, without restriction as
to the number of months it cavers.
There are already fifty students en­
rolled in the work, and it has so at­
tracted the attention of the publishers
of the bulletin of lesson instructions
that they have envolved a plan by
which Dean Bexell’s course can be
offered by ail the different agricultural
schools throughout the country, adapt­
ed to each locality and its particular
needs.
As fast as the funds and instructional
force at the college will allow, other
courses will be added to the corres­
pondence work for farmers, including
a study of rural law, and agricultural
economics. 'Unrortunately the legis­
lature did not allow the appropriation
requested for this work, so it can not
at this time receive the attention and
development planned for it. It is the '
policy of the college, however, to ex­
tend these advantages to the people
