10 FOREST RESERVE MANUAL, 



to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, with his 

 approval or other recommendation. 



8. No stock of any kind is allowed to graze in a reserve 

 without a permit based on the the application made. All 

 permits, except those for 100 head or less of cattle and horses 

 owned by persons who live in the reserve, are issued by the 

 Department. 



9. The supervisor may issue permits himself for not more 

 than 100 head of cattle and horses combined, to any one per- 

 son who actually lives in the reserve and who does not own 

 more than 100 head; but the permit must not cover more stock 

 than he owns, be it few or many, up to 100. These reserve 

 residents or farmers must make application, the same as out- 

 siders, before the supervisor will issue the permit. 



10. The applications of all reserve residents who have more 

 than 100 head of cattle and horses are to be forwarded to the 

 General Land Office the same as the applications of outsiders, 

 and the Department will issue the permits thereon. 



11. Reserves in which grazing is allowed by the Depart- 

 ment will be divided into sheep and cattle ranges whenever 

 this can be done without injury to either interest; but such 

 division nmst first be determined by the Department. At the 

 end of each grazing season the supervisor should report fully 

 on any such existing divisions, and recommend any changes or 

 further divisions which are warranted by existing conditions. 



12. Sheep are always herded and restricted to the limits 

 fixed by the Department. 



13. Cattle and horses need not be herded, and may roam at 

 large. 



14. When the owner of cattle or horses who has a permit, 

 is ready to drive in his stock, he should notify the supervisor, 

 stating the number and brand. 



15. Cattle and horses of persons who graze on the reserve 

 only part of the time, some days off and some days on, require 

 a permit; but such cases should be fully explained by the super- 

 visor when he makes his recommendations and estimates. 



16. Applicants for the grazing privilege are given prefer- 

 ence in the following order: 



{a) Persons residing within the reserve. 

 (5) Persons owning ranches within the reserve, but not 

 residing thereon.
