The following list of dates, as arranged by tho buyers: . Echo, May 29. Pendleton, May BO. Pilot Rock, June 8. Ileppner, June 4. . Baker, June 8. Ontario, June 10. Valo, June 11. Shaniko, June 18. , Mo toil us, June 21. Bend, June 22. , Joseph, Jnue 05. Euterpnse, June 20. Shaniko, July 0. Baker, July 10. Regarding tho date of the Baker sale the Baker Democrat says: "Secretary John G. IJoke, of the Oregon Woolgrowers' As sociation, announced that the dates of the sale for Grant County in Baker had been changed from July 8 to July 0. The change in dates made for the accomodation of the Grant County woolmeur who are mombers of the Baker Elks lodge and who desire to make the trip to tho grand lodge at Portland on the Elks' special train, which loaves Buker Sun day evening, J uly 7. By putting the sale date ahead two days, thoy will bo ake to attend the sales and finish in time to leave for Portland the next evening. Coming on the Cth, it will also be possible for many to attend the celebration on the 4th and 5th and attend the sale and combine the two events to one trip." also euch given a fleece averaging 9 pounds, which owing to the light shrinkage brings about 3 centa per pound more than the average Merino wools. Hampshire sheep are especially adapted for the (urmer and for the sheepman of Central Oregon who is breeding (or a lamb market. The Hampshire sheep is the largest and heaviest ol the Down breeds, and presents a very strik ing appearance, the rams having bold Roman countenances, and the ewes with characteristically strong but feminine faces. Tbey have iark brown or black points, the bone Is large, the limbs especially strong and well set on, with a good fleece of fine, white wool. Tbey are healthy and proliGo and the ewes are g6od mothers, giving an abundance of milk. The Hampshire ia essentially the Bheep (or the farm, fitted by long habit to being put in hurdles, able to consume a large amount of food and to make from it good mutton at an early age. The Hampshire lamb is famed tor its! early maturity and great weight. Tbere is no breed that excel the Hampshire in this respect. Well kept Hampshires are among the most profitable sheep in tho world Mr. Elkins says that the farmers of Crook county are loosing money every day by not buying wire netting fences to keep out preda tory animals and raising a few sheep along with their cows and hogs. Twenty ewes will not take any more feed in the winter than one horse, and in the summer they will keep fat on the weeds on the Summer fallow and waste of the farm. Twenty Merino ewes bred to a Hampshire ram should bring an annual income from one hun dred to one hundred and twenty dollars with very little expense. Hampshire lambs coming in March from Delaine ewea will weigh Irom 05 to 70 pounds in July and are ready to market. The time has come when the farmers should raise and fatten more livestock. All grain and hay produced on the (arm should be (ed on the farm, marketed through the livestock, the manure going back to the land to keep up its fertility.

His office is now connected with two districts, which contain ap proximately 800 million feet B. M. of excellent yellow pine timber. District 3 on the north slope of the Blue Mountains south of Mitchell, Oregori, will be con nected as soon as funds permit. It is a heavy stand of timber and a telephone will greatly reduce the fire risk in this district. The estimated amount of tim ber on this national forest is 10,422,000 M feet B. M. The slopes of the mountains aUo furnish range to 30,000 head of sheep and about 2000 head of cattle. Both the timber and range are perishable property and must be protected from Tire. A comprehensive system of trails and telephone lines has been planned which when com pleted will make every portion of this forest accessible, and bring areas which are now isolated much closer, in point of time, to the outside world. During the dangerous season the Forest Service will then be able to pat trol a given region more quickly and effectively, and in case of a fire, men and supplies can be quickly rushed to it. - The time elapsing between the discovery of a fire and attacking it is the important factor in fire fighting., Several years will be required to complete the necessary trails and telephone lines, but the work will be pushed along as fast as appropaiations made by Congress will permit. The most necessary or primary improvements are being constructed first and the system will be gradually com pleted by the addition of the secondary improvemeats. Work Team for Sale.
