Customs
By D. D. Cusenbary
l)o you remember in the early
days when we didn’t have ice
boxes or refrigerators, but we
almost always had firm butter
and cool milk?
The homes had a pan about
three or four inches deep with
water in it. Into this pan of
water, jars of milk and bowls of
butter would be placed with wet
cloths wrapped around them.
The pans were placed on a
house, and when one wanted
milk or butter, all one had to do
was just raise the window and
reach for it.
Do you remember when we
had at almost every meal hot
homemade biscuits?

livestock operators Ttiave^ 'to sn/erarmer and rancher can use
reduce the cost of production in
meeting the cost-price squeeze.
There are many things to
consider before beginning tree
dozing. First, of course, is the
actual cost which varies from 10
to 20 dollars per acre depending
on the density of the mesquite.
Tree dozing is most applicable
and achieves the best results on
open stands of larger trees and
brush or on rocky soils where
other mechanical methods are
limited. A wise farmer or rancher
should be aware of the type of
brush on his place and the
approximate cost of removing it.
Some thought should be given
to the effects of dozing on
wildlife. Wildlife such as deer
and quail is not only valuable
from a recreational point of view
but is also a good source of
income for local farmers and
ranchers. Leaving the brush
along draws and hillsides as well
as leaving desirable plants such
as Oak, Elm and Hackberry will
provide good wildlife habitat.
If a man is planning to spend
10 to 20 dollars an acre to doze
trees, it is a wise investment to
add 3 or 4 dollars to it and reseed
the area with adapted native
grasses. This is especially
needed where the trees are thick
and there is a great deal of
ground disturbance. If the dis-
turbed areas are not reseeded,
they will grow back in Broom-
weed and other poor quality
weeds.
The main purpose of dozing
and seeding is to increase the
productivity of the rangeland.
One of the best ways to achieve
this increased production is to
rest the area during the growing
season following dozing. This
gives the grasses that were there
before dozing as well as the
reseeded grasses, a chance to
utilize the extra that the brush
had been using. This extra water
will allow the grasses to make a
great deal of root growth, and
