After calling atten tion to the date of this year's dhow at the Union Stock Yards at North Pirtlnnd, December 7th to 12th, he tnyi: The exposition In purely ecluea tionul along livestock linen, there boing no "wild weal" or other amusement features ami Ih unique in that it will pay over 1 15,000 in cash premiums and make nocharKC for entry fee, stull room or admls- sion.

Bankers as well as breeders are taking a keen interest in the ex position and are lending very active support. It WiFPaTtoTtkk to Fine Wool Sheep It will pav to stick to the line wool sheep, says a writer in the National Stockman and Farmer Many who have pure-bred Delaines and have suffered from light de mand for breeding stock for a sea son or two no doubt at times have been inclined to grow faint-hearted so far as their fine-wool flocks are concerned. But we do not farm in this country as they do in England, the original home and stronghold of mutton sheep. We cannot afford as a rule to give our sheep so much attention. Labor is too high. Too many other farming operations must be continually performed by the few available on each farm. We must have a sheep that to a large degree will take care of itself and, all prejudice aside, the mutton sheep will not do that. A lot of men who have quite recently used in their grade line-wool flocks mut ton rams are going to be in the market for fine-wool rams within the next two breeding seasons. The Delaine breeder can do no better now than keep on producing his fine-wool a little better than ever before. We will need them and use them in this country. Additional Bounty -of $1 Removed At its regular monthly meeting on August 13, 1914, the State Board of Fish and Game Commis sioners paused an order removing the additional bounty of $1 each on wildcats, lynx or bobcats, which has been previously paid under Section 60, Chapter 232, Laws of 1913, and that no additional bounties shall be paid on these animals presented to county clerks on or after August 14,1914. Payment of the additional bounty of 915 each for cougar and f20 each for timber wolves will be con tinued as heretofore. Homesteader Act Passes Senate Washington, Aug. 15.

Tbe origin of the lleur-de-lts Is still an unsettled question. There am many theories, but bo two of them agree. One makes the emblem originate wjtb Clovls I., another with Louis VII., an other with one of the German kings of the twelfth century snd still snoth er with the Romans. All that is dell' nltely settled Is the fact that since the twelfth century tbe fleur-de-lis bas been employed as the emblem of French royally. The nature of the em blem la also lu dispute.

Treatment of the Skin to Prevsnt Abrasions and Sorts. When they ore tlrst put Into harness young horses are particularly liable to be gulled by the hnniena because their skin Is not accUNtouied to the pressure snd friction caused by the collar, pad, etc., says the American Cultivator. Homes Just up from grass are aiso specially nusceptlhle to suffer from this trouble because of their soft condition. Tbe fact of a lioro' system being In s heated state or "bumory" Is another predisposing cnuse of harness galls suit sores, while some horses are un animity prone to them, owing to their skin being specially sensitive and deli cate. In all these cases It is a useful plan. In order to burden the skin, to bathe the parts exposed to galllnsr twice or thrice s day with a saturated solution of slum, while a lotion con sisting of Milestone (copper sulphate), dissolved In water st the rate of Ove grains to an ounce of water, may also be recommended for use ss a toughen ing ageut and to counteract any tend ency on the part of the skin to be come chafed.

Some experiments were conducted by Professor Henry st the Wisconsin station to determine the cost of pro ducing gains In pigs during the suck ling period snd sfter weaning. In discussing the results of these experi ments Professor Henry says that it thus appears that young unweoned pigs are fed moreecou'iniicully through the sow than after weaning. This means that at uo time In the pig's life sre gains made with such econo my s during the suckling period. Un derstanding this principle, the good bog man will always feed his sows and pigs most liberally before weaning. Kven with the best of feeding a good brood sow will usually lose weight during the suckling period. A milk producing ratlou must of ne cessity contain a liberal allowance of nitrogenous material Alfalfa pasture supplies protein, but tbe brood sow must have additional protein In a more concentrated form.

With the present prices prevailing for corn, shorts and bran, we would ad vise tbe making of tbe ration not to exceed B0 per cent corn. The brood sows at the Kausas Agri cultural college at the present time are being fed on a ration made up as follows: Fifty pounds of corn, tweuty flve pounds of shorts, eighteen pounds of bran, four pounds of tankage and three pounds of linseed ll meal. This makes a splendid ratlou for a brood sow suckling pigs. In addition they should always have access to good al falfa buy and alfalfa or other pasture as soon as such pasture Is available. The quantity of the suggested grain rotlon to feed will depend somewhat on the Individual bow. The aim should be to feed each sow all she will clean up with an appetite. Of course this heavy feeding should not begin until the pigs are a week old at least Clean Milk. It Is well to bear lu mind that pure milk Is not produced In a barn that has stroug odors; that clean milk Is not drawn from dirty or filthy cows; that the milker's hands should be clean; that the open milk pall Is a dirt catcher; that milk is not clean unless some effort has been made to prevent it from getting dirty and that It Is more sensible to keep dirt out of milk than It Is to rely on straining It out.

Conditions in Crook County are Good Within the past few days one of the great mercantile associations has completed a business survey of Oregon, county by county, and has made a boiled-down report which makes mighty good reading. The condensed report of Crook county follows: Wheat, cattle, sheep, root crops, the principal producta.lhave incresed 25 per cent in acreage of grains. There is no change in fruit crops. The condition of farmers will be 25 per cent better after harvest Merchants' conditions, loans and de posits remain unchanged; Btocks are lighter; new elevator and flour mill under coustruction. Prospects fair. Fall grain was slightly damaged by frost; growing conditions good. COURAGE FOR RIGHT. Sir, it Is not for me. an bum ble and uulnfluenUal Individual at an awful distance from the predominate Influences, to sug gest plaus of government But to my eye the path of our duty is as distinct as the Milky way all studded with living sap phires, glowing with cumulat ing light. It is tbe path of ac tive preparation, of dignified en ergy. It Is the path of 1776. It consists not In abandoning our rights, but In supporting them as they exist and when they exist-on the ocean as well as on tuu land. It consists in taking - the nature of things as the measure of tbe right of your citizens, not the orders and de crees of Imperious foreigners. Give what protection, you can. Take no counsel of fear. Your strength will Increase with tbe trial and prove greater than you now are aware. But I shall be told, "This msy lead to war." I ask, "Are we now at peace?" Certainly not. unless retiring from Insult be peace. The surest way to pre vent wor Is not to fear It. The Idea that nothing upon earth Is so dreadful as war Is Inculcat ed too studiously among us. Disgrace is worse. Abandon ment of essential rights Is worse. Joslah Qulncy, Jr., In Congress. 1S08, For Sale or Trade One Mowing Machine, one new Wagon Box, one Potato Dlgner.
