58 THE USE BOOK. 



|* 



Counting corrals will be constructed at convenient points to facilitate compli- 

 ance with this regulation, and an actual count will be made wherever possible 

 without serious interference with the proper handling of the stock. 



Where cattle or horses are driven to Forest ranges from the feed lots or 

 winter ranges a count may be made at points of entry designated by the 

 Forest officers. 



Counting in the feed lots can be done at a time when it will interfere little 

 with a ranger's duties. If the number for which application is submitted is 

 less than the number in the possession of the applicant at the time the count 

 was made, he may be required, on entering the Forest, to show what disposition 

 has been made of the balance. An applicant who refuses to allow his stock 

 to be counted in a feed lot may be required to arrange for a count before 

 entering the Forest or to round-up at any time thereafter. 



DAMAGE TO ROADS, TRAILS, OB SPRINGS. 



REGULATION G-25. Each person or group of persons granted grazing permits' 

 ' 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 supervisor, must pipe the water into troughs for watering stock. 

 Such troughs must be open for public use. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect 

 May 1, 1913.) 



BEDDING SHEEP AND GOATS. 



REGULATION 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 lambing season; and must 'not be bedded within 300 yard of any run- 

 ning stream or living spring, except in rare cases where this restriction is 

 clearly impracticable. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



DISPOSITION OF CARCASSES. 



REGULATION 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 imme- 

 diately and buried or burned. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 

 1, 1913.) 



SALTING STOCK. 



REGULATION 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. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



Salting is required as a means of Forest protection, and the regulation will 

 be enforced to as great an extent as the interests of the Forest demand. 



A person who refuses, upon request, to snlt his stock will be liable to a reduc- 

 tion in permit number during the following year. If his disregard is con- 

 tinued, and results in damage to the range, he may be denied further privi- 

 leges. Obviously, where natural licks occur, salting will be unnecessary. 



QUARANTINE AND LOCAL LAWS. 



REGULATION G-29. All stock which is grazed under permit in, or allowed 

 to cross, any National Forest will be required to conform to the quarantine 

 regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture, and all live-stock laws of the State 

 or Territory in which the National Forest is located. Forest officers will co- 

 operate with State or Territorial officers, so far as they can without undue inter- 

 ference with their regular Forest work, to enforce local laws for the protection 

 of stock, and will promptly inform the State officials of all violations dis- 

 covered. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



Whenever the stock in any locality is known to be infected with a contagious 

 disease, or notice to that effect has been given the Forester or district forester
