86 THE USE BOOK. 



such inclosures are necessary for the proper handling of 

 the stock allowed to graze upon the reserves, as a special 

 privilege, for which an annual rental of not less than four 

 (4) cents per acre will be charged in addition to the regu- 

 lar grazing fee. The fencing up of watering places for 

 the purpose of controlling adjoining range will not be 

 allowed, and in fencing pastures provision must be made 

 to allow free access to water by any stock grazing under 

 permit. The application must state the exact location 

 and area of the land to be inclosed, and must be accom-

 regulations. 



Under this regulation the construction and maintenance of pas-

To pasture saddle horses, milch or work animals, graded or

To give settlers who live upon lands either within or on the 

 border of a reserve the exclusive use of adjoining pasture lands 

 during a portion of the year, when needed for protection against 

 other stock which is permitted to graze on the reserve. 



In the approval of applications for the construction of inclo- 

 sures upon forest reserve lands, only such area as is needed for

 acres will not be allowed when a smaller area would be sufficient 

 for the needs of the applicant.

 land, whether or not there is living water upon it, and the de-

 price to be charged. An advance over the minimum charge will 

 be made whenever the area applied for is largely meadow land or 

 so located as to be in special demand for pasturing purposes. The 

 minimum price is four (4) cents per acre in addition to the regular
