farmers of that State:
"When you waka up In tha morn

cut clock. You get up and button on
Chicago suspenders to your Detroit
overalls. You go out and wash your
face with Cincinnati soap In an In
dianapolis wssh basin. You sit down
to your breakfast and eat from a
table made in Grand Rapids, Michi
gan, and you eat Chlcajro meat. And
your bread Is made of Tennessee flour
cooked on a St. Louis stove. You go
out and put a New York bridle on
Kentucky mule, fed on Iowa corn,
and plow your corn all day with an
Illinois plow, and the farm is covered
with a Massachusetts mortgage. And
at night when you get home, you
read a Hlblo printed in BoBton, and
you say a prayer written In Jerusalem
And you crawl under a blanket man
ufactured In New Jersey to be kep
awake all night by a damned dog
the only home product you have on
the farm."

I BE USED
Although the cattlemen themselves

caused its amendment in 1917, which
compels the use of pure bred bulls on
the ranges east of the Cascades, and
specifies that no less than one such
animal must be turned on tha
ranges with each 25 head of (emala
cattle, or fraction of ten or over,
over, many violations of tha statute
are reported, and district attorneys of
the territory are being asked to in
vestigate and prosecute all violators.
Everyone who has information of
violations of this law should notify
the district attorney, or S. O. Correll,
secretary of the Cattle and Horsa
Raisers association of Oregon, at
Baker.,
ftecords are being secured from
officers of the Forest Service, and
prosecutions will likely follow Mr.
Correll saya.
There is also an occasional report
ot the violations of the estray law,
ppssed also at the request of the stock
men at. the 1913 legislature, and am
mended in 1917 and again in 1919,
to fit the handling of estray enimals.
Unless this law is followed careful
ly, the title of the animal remains
with its original owner, and the per
son retaining him is guilty of larceny.
Any good attorney is competent to
set the stockman right on the points
of he estray law.
Dates ot the stockmen'a convention
at Burns have been changed to May
24 and 25, at the request of the Burns
committee. Every stockman in
