*USE OF SHEEP IN RESEED
ING RANGES.
The government is studying
■means fop usiug sheep to regen
erate overgrazed ranges. Unique
experiments are now being con
ducted by the United States For
•est Service at the experiment
station within the Wallowa Na
tional Forest, in northeastern
■Oregon, demonstrate that the
grazing of sheep under proper
restrictions is an important fac
tor in the work of reseeding over
grazed ranges. The problem be
ing studied is that of restoring
to depleted ranges their original
covering of mountain bunch
grass.
In the initial stages three dif
ferent methods of reseeding were
used. Upon one area the seed
was allowed to drop to the
ground without treatment. The
seed was brushed in with a brush
drag or harrow on the second
tract, and upon the third a band
of sheep was passed over the area
in a compact body twice. This
summer it has been found that
the area not treated has the
lightest stand of seedlings, while
the resulting seedling stand on
the other two areas showed but
little variation in density, but
later, during the period of
drought the seedlings on the
area brushed over died out bad
ly, while on the area upon which
the sheep harrowed in the seed
there was very little loss, the
sheep having tramped the seed
iuto the soil about a half an inch
deeper than that which had been
brushed in.
So far as the investigation has
been carried it indicates that a
a denser and more drouth resist
ant stand of bunch grass can be
secured where the sheep are al
lowed on an area after the plants
have seeded and dropped the
seed than where they are ex
cluded throughout the entire
season.
Some entirely new phases oi

The Owyhee Nugget $2 a year.
The irrigated sections of Owy
hee County are attracting the
attention of homeseekers and
investors from the east, and the
lands are rapidly being purchas
ed and improved by a thrifty
class of people. On the rich sage
brush plains of Owyhee County,
where once the jackrabbit and
coyote held full sway, are now
to be found many homes around
which the lands are being cultiv
ated and improved, and which
in another year will produce
bountiful crops of forage plants
and cereals, tender vegetables
and berries of all kinds. Young
and growing orchards are to be
seen that in a few years will be
producing a delicious quality of
fruits for shipment to outside
markets. Water is king and sun
shine the queen, which with the
rich alluvial soil of Owyhee
County presents the golden op
portunity to the thrifty farmer
and homebuilder.
A custom plant to be erected
at Benton, Wis., using the Jobke
system of electrical separation,
is under contemplation by
Chicago capital. Conditions in
the Wisconsin field at the pres
ent time are such that a plant
of this kind, working on a live
aud-let-live basis, would be a
boon to the average producer,
and permit him to work his pro
perty to the best advantage
and at a fair profit. As it now
is ore buyers are scarce and
prices paid are generally at the
pleasure of a so-called combina
tion of orebuying interests, there
by curtailing production.—Min
ing World. A custom plant
would be a Godsend to the pro
ducers in the Silver City district,
and would do more then any
other one thing toward giving
new life and permanency to the
camp. Other districts can have
custom plants, why not Silver
City? _
Many golden opportunities are
lying dormant in Owyhee County
awaiting the advent of the cap
italist and homebuilder, in min
eral, stockraising and highly
productive agrictural pursuits.
People on the outside are just
beginning to realize this and it
would be no surprise to see old
Owyhee double its population
within the next two years. Then
it will not be long in forging to
the front as one of the richest
and most productive counties
iu Idaho.
