 his stock he must notify the nearest Forest officer, by mail or other- 

 wise, stating the number to be driven in. If called upon to do so, 

 he must provide for having his stock counted before entering a 

 National Forest, or at any time afterwards when the number of 

 stock appears to be greater than the number covered by permit.

 permit if the Forest officer is notified of such action at once.

 of their stock in any portion of a National Forest, and build any 

 new roads or trails found necessary for the proper handling of their 

 stock. They must also fence any spring or seep which is being dam- 

 aged by the tramping of their stock, and, if required by the Supervisor, 

 must pipe the water into troughs for watering stock. Such troughs 

 must be open for public use. 



BEDDING SHEEP AND GOATS. 



Reg. G-24. Sheep and goats must not be bedded more than six 

 nights in succession in the same place, except when bedding bands

 yards of any running stream or living spring, except in rare cases 

 where this restriction is clearly impracticable.
