to every fnrmur and Btock breeder
in the state. After calling atten

The exposition In purely ecluea

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

Cortland is recognized as tho court

rretnlum lista will lie mailed to
all breeders who belong to tho dif
ferent breed associations. Others

by applying to the general manager.
Fjirly YcHrta indicate fifty per cent
larger entries than last year, and
commercial organizations all over
tho country will be asked to co
operate with the railroads in form
ing Hclul parties to attend the
show. 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.

The Fleur-de-lis.
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. An old tradl
(Ion makes It tho representation of the
Illy given by the ancel to Clorls at bis

adopted by Louts VII. In allusion to

COLTS IN HARNESS.
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

BROOD SOW WITH PIGS.
Import no of Full Ration During the
Suckling Period.
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. This can be sup-

piled most cheaply by the use of tank
age, although some hog men strongly
advocate the use of Uuseed oil meal.
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.
