This site offers exceptional opportunity for making a good city. Vast (areas of ara ble territory spread out in all directions. Every valley and streamlet of the distant mountains has its ranches and flourishing livestock. Considerable land in the valley is still subject to homestead entry, and with the advent of the Oregon-Eastern Railway Now building toward Harney Valley, this grand new empire will teem with land seekers and people seeking business opportunities and professional locations.

A limited number of lots are now otfeied for sale at remarkably low prices cither for cash or on easv terms, which prices will advance when the railroad is built into the Harney Valley. REMEMBER, Harriman will be the first important point in the great Harney Valley to have a railroad. UTAH-OREGON LAND COMPANY C H. MOREHOUSE, Pres. Salt Lake City, Utah. H. M. HORTON, Sec.

The cow- should be given n fnlr trin I frith the hght kind of feed In the right quantity and she should he tiled out with the1 I teeter and the scales before she is classed as unprofitable The cow that is always hun gry, or. to put It more plainly, the cow that always 1ms a good app.-tlte. Is the one that will yield the best profit. There may be occasional bad luck In the dairy business, but It almost Invariably follows bad management. A good dairy cow should hnve all the feetl she will eat and dl- T gest and keep In good health. An exposed or an abused cow X will give less milk ami that milk of a poorer quality than one well cared for With good cows, good fond, good stables, all profit! can be wiped out by an Ignorant or cru el stableman The demands of n cow are Im perative The dairyman who consults his own convenience and disregards the comfort of his dnlry herd suffers loss. THE SAFEST WAY OF INBREEDING CATTLE AILMENTS OF PIGS. Treatment of Common Diseases That AWIict Young Porkora. Tin- prime essential to good results with pigs are sunshine, exercise and feed, says Professor I.. A Weaver of ttM Mlaaairl experiment station Due of the thing often giving trouble Is scours In the voting pigs., Numr are usually caused bv one of four things - eltl.. r by changing the f 1 of the sow, overfeeding, dirty pens and troughs ..r tire of either sow- Of ptgB to cold rain or to cold weather In sn.-h n way III it they become chilled Tim thing ta wath aapactalli N tba fei .1 I 'hanging from sweet to sour mlllt often ranaea the trouble n will iiN.. ihe f .!lng of too iiiu.'h protein when the animal Is not used to It If Is led too mm h her milk How ls s.. stimulated that very young pigs will get more than they can utilize, thus causing them lo scour. Pigs should always be In dry, clean quarters and be fid In clean troughs Thev sh iii'd not bt allowed lo run out In cold in In or allowed to ... ie chilled III any way. Howa running through filth and then being suckled by pigs will often throw pigs off. There are a good many remedies fol Ihls trouble The first thing to do In tn cut down on the sow's feed ami clean up her quarters if they need It A la hit-spoonful of sulphur In the aow'a There are many vague and foolish) tiotloi s entertained on the subject of Inbreeding, snys Hoard's Dairyman. I.lkeaeverythlng else In this world that is good for anything, it Is capable of evil as well as good results. Knives have been used to stab people, ropes to hang them and water to drown them, yet no man of common sense would fail on that account to make a right us,, of knives, ropes and water. The safest wny of Inbreisllng, so far as out observation goes. Is from sire to daugh ter There Is one rule that should al ways be watchfully observed: Never Inbreed heifer or cow that shows a lack of constitutional vigor. Keep that Idea foremost Also, with lll;e pertinency, never Inbreed to a sire who shows any signs of lacking In con stitutional vigor Now. within those two road fences It is safe and very often advantageous to breed a daugh ter back to her sire This should be practiced In breeding grade cows a great deal more than It Is done, with close observance of the foregoing rules. It should always be remembered Mint liihr ling Is an Intetisliler It Inten sifies a weakness Just the same as It may Intensify strength, talent or ca pacity In any then direction Sow. suppose we start with a pure bred bull ami a herd of cows of Btfied breeding Tbe heifers got i.v that un ion Inherit BO fer cent of the straight blood nf the sire ami an equal nmount ''. ; " '-. li .
