notice of appeal to the district forester is filed with the supervisor 

 within 10 days from the receipt of his decision. The decision of the

 the district forester within 10 days from the receipt of his decision. 

 Appeal may also be taken to the Secretary of Agriculture from adverse 

 decisions of the Forester and must be presented to the Secretary of 

 Agriculture within 30 days from notice or the decision of the Forester. 

 Appeal under this or the foregoing regulation to the district forester, 

 the Forester, or the Secretary of Agriculture will avail only when it is 

 shown by the evidence submitted that the decision is not warranted 

 by the facts or is contrary to the grazing regulations or the instruc- 

 tions covering the allotment of grazing privileges. 



COUNTING STOCK. 



Reg. G-24. When an owner who has a permit is ready to drive 

 in his stock, he must notify the nearest Forest the number to bs 

 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. Whenever any stock is removed 

 before the expiration of the permit, it can be replaced by other 

 stock to fill out the number covered by permit if the forest officer 

 is notified of such action at once. 



DAMAGE TO BO ADS, TRAILS, OR SPRINGS. 



Reg. G-25. Each person or group of persons granted grazing per- 

 mits must repair all damage to roads or trails caused by the presence 

 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 

 damaged by the tramping of their stock, and, if required by the super- 

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

 troughs must be open for public use. 



BEDDING SHEEP AND GOATS. 



Reg. G-26. Sheep and goats must not be bedded more than six 

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

 of ewes during the lambing reason; and must not be bedded within 

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

 this "restriction is clearly impracticable. 



DISPOSITION OF CARCASSES. 



Reg. G-27. The carcasses of all animals which die on the National 

 Forest from contagious or infectious diseases must be burned-, and 

 the carcasses of all animals which die in the close vicinity of water 

 must be removed immediately, and buried or burned. 



SALTING STOCK. 



Reg. G-28. Whenever the forest officers require it, all stock grazed 

 under permit must be salted regularly at such places and in such 

 manner as they may designate.
