The following summary of results from the coyote-proof pasture con ducted by the Forest service in this county, will be of Interest to stock growers. "Portland J. T. Jardine, grazing expert in the Forest service, before leaving for the Wallowa National forest to observe range conditions during the lambing- seaosn, spoks of the work of the service there as follows: . "The experimental work conducted at coyote-proof pasture on the Wal lowa National forest last Beason was a continuation of the work begun in 1907, for the purpose of studying the pasturage system of handling sheep with a view - to bringing about the highest possible utilization of Vjrazing lands. "The coyote-proof fence constructed In 1907 was repaired and the enclos ure cleared of animals in May of 1908. On June 21 ft band of 2,200 ewes and lambs of Rambeiuliet. breed were turned loose in the enclosure. During this time an accurate record was kept for the purpose of ascertaining the TUlTYirtPi nn H Irtnrt rt animate AAmlna1 to the enclosure, and the attitude of each toward the coyote-proof fence. Coyotes were at the fence line nearly ever night during the 95 days of test, arid not one succeeded in getting through. Grizzly bear and brown bear passed . through the enclosure many times, but did not mole3t the sheep, and it may ba of interest to note that two grizzlies and five brown bear were kii:el within the pasture or near it. "At the close of the season the short wool lamb3 of the pasture band then six months o'd, averaged 72 pounds. The best lambs of the same breed, and the same age herded on range near the pasture, but richer In foiage crops than the pasture area jiaged 64 pounds. The average weights of four bands of one-half Shropshire lambs from choice sum oer range, were 63, 64, 65, and 69 pounds. "The loss from the pasture band was less than one-half of one per 1 cent, ine average loss, during tne Acre i same ;?erijd, from outside bands was hree ier cent. "Canrful compa lso i of range graz ed und er the two systems showed chat 50 per cent 13 a conservative estimate for the Increase in carrying capacity of lands grazed under the pasture system over lands grazed under the customary methods of herding. "Ve have then, an increased carry ing capacity of 50 per cent, larger I ;U ratter sheep, far le3s loss and we may anticipate a heavier, cleaner crop of wool.'.'
