212 OUR NATIONAL FORESTS 



mits, on-and-off permits, private land permits, and 

 crossing permits. 



All persons must secure permits before grazing 

 any stock on a National Forest except for the few 

 head in actual use by prospectors, campers, ranch- 

 ers, stockmen, and travelers who use saddle, pack 

 and work animals, and milch cows in connection 

 with permitted operations on the National Forests. 

 Under these conditions JO head are allowed to 

 graze without permit. 



Persons owning stock which regularly graze on 

 ranges partially included within a National Forest, 

 or upon range which includes private land may be 

 granted permits for such portions of their stock as 

 the circumstances appear to justify. This regula- 

 tion provides for cases where only a part of a nat- 

 ural range unit is National Forest land, and where 

 the economical use of the entire unit can be secured 

 only by the utilization of the Forest land in con- 

 nection with the other land. The regulation con- 

 templates a movement of the stock governed by 

 natural conditions, between the Forest range a;nd 

 the adjoining outside range, or between Forest 

 land and intermingled private land. This is called 

 an on-and-off permit.
