the immediate passage of House
bill JNo. 13, which provides an in
creased bounty on coyotes during
the present year-"
The action or the governor was
prompted by the following mes
sage from County Judge B. Daly of
Lake county:
'Rabies among coyotes in this
part of the state has become epi
demic. A great many horses, cat
tle and Bheep bitten by coyotes
have become infected and have had
to be killed. This epidemic is not
only a serious menace to the live
stock industry of Oregon, but it is
also very dangerous to human life,
I would, therefore, most respect
fully request that the legislature
now in session be officially informed
of the great danger menacing the
lives and property of the people of
this part of the state; also, that
prompt and effective measures may
be taken to eradicate this disease
by providing a liberal bounty for
the extermination of all coyotes in
Oregon."
House bill No. 13, in addition to
providing a liberal bounty on cer
tain predatory animals, increases
the bounty on coyotes from $1 50
to $3. This increased bounty is to
lug the bulbs in soil either in pots or
what florists know as "pans," which
are shallow porcelain pots, or in box
es. These bulbs are then put In a
cool place In the dark for a period of
two to six or eight weeks, or even
longer If desired. They should be
left there until the roots are well start
ed. The bulbs should then be brouebt
Into a slightly warmer place, with
some light, for three or four days, and
then gradually brought Into greater
warmth and full light. During all the
period of growth the ground should be
kept moist without being water
soaked.
Occasionally the roots should be ex
amined to see whether or not the plant
requires repotting. This is done by
holding the hands over the top of the
pot, inverting plant and all, tapping
the edge of the pot so as to loosen it.
then lifting the pot off. This cannot
be done unless the soil is moderately
moist If the ball of earth is com
pletely covered with roots the plant
should be put in a slightly larger pot
with new potting soil firmed about the
old ball of earth by firming with the
fingers and then wetted thoroughly.
Tulips require special care and atten
tion. It is best to place the pots or
pans in a box and cover the whole pot
with at least two inches additional soil
or ashes and leave them there until the
bud has pushed clear above the pot;
otherwise the blooms will be strangled
In attempting to get out of the bulbs.
The hyacinth, paper white narcissus
and especially the Chinese sacred Illy
are frequently grown in water. Spe
cial glasses for these bulbs may be
purchased In which they may be sue-
l e in effect only during the present , any attractlve dlsn and supported
year.
The State Board of Health has
taken up the matter of a bounty on
coyotes and will present a bill to
the legislature providing for either
a three or five dollar fee. They
have been investigating the spread
of rabies in this state, especially in
the vicinity of Eurns and in Lake
and Klamath counties, and will
recommend that some action be
taken at once to stamp out this dis
ease.
by pebbles. The water should be kept
so that it touches the bottom of the
bulb.
LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
In Lake county all parents have
been warned to either provide con
veyances for their children attending
rural schools or discontinue sending
them, The danger from rabid coy
otes and dogs is considered too
great to risk the children on foot.
Harney county issued a warning of
this nature in December. The
danger can be little if any less in
the southern part of Crook. Par
ents should take every precaution
to protect their children, especially
in the thinly settled portions of the
county.
The duty of the hour for the Individ
ual farmer is to keep the closest watch
upon bis home herd for any outbreak
of foot and mouth disease. If any sus
picious case develops it should be Im
mediately reported to the local authorities.
The dirty feed pail is the killer of
the calf. There is no reason to doubt
that the greut majority of calves which
die before tbey are two months old
are killed because of poisoning or in
digestion, traceable to uncJean feed
palls, if it is worth attempting to
raise calves, surely It Is worth while
to huve the utensils thoroughly clean.
Cows giving milk consume about
twice as much water as those not giv
ing milk. One of the experiment sta
tions found that the average amount
of water consumed for each pound of
milk produced was a little over four
and oue-hulf pounds.
Dairy cows do not need a great
amount of exercise. Their business is
producing milk, and their milk mak
ing machinery will exercise itself if it
