NEEDS COUNTY DIVISION LAW
It was clearlv demonatrntcH i0at division vote, as it also nolled fi
proposition. And
i-ueaday that the electorate will not
approve any of a miscellaneous lot of
county-division bills submitted to the
state at large. Yet it must be ac
knowledged that some of the counties
of Oregon, because of their great area
and recent growth in Donulntion.
Bhould be divided." Lawyers are prac
tically agreed that the constitution
prohibits the Legislative. 'Assembly
from changing county boundenes, and
the voters, according; to thejincomplete
have rejected the bill providing a meth
od for local determination of county
division matters What is to be done?
Although a well-defined sentiment
has existed in recent legislative sessions
against enactment of laws that have
been rejected under the initiave, the
defeat of the last-named bill need not
necessarily be ascribed to the exist-
ance of a general opinion that no meth
od should exist for the changing of
county boundaries. Rather it may be
supposed that the bill was defeated be
cause of its manifest unfairness in not
giving the whole territory affected by
a proposed change in boundaries a voice
in the final determination of the ques
tion. Perhaps, too, some voters indi
cated their disapproval of the bill under
the belief that the law now, although
indefinite, provides a method for set
tling such local vote, and that there
fore the general division bills were
invalid.
Under either theory no hesitation
need properly be exhibited by the Leg
islature in the formulation of a definite
law providing a means for changing
county boundaries or creating new
counties, and there could now be no le
gitimate criticism of a movement on
the. part of those interested in county
nivisions for the drafting of a bill, fair
to all sides in such controversies, for
presentation at the next session of the
legislature at Salem this winter.

EXPERIENCE IN
LAMB FEEDING.
STATE LAND BOARD MEETS
Conflicting interests occupied
the attention of prattically an
. all-day session, last Monday, of
the Dessert Land Board in con
nection with the Central Oregon
Development Co.'s work in the
Deschutes, this eompany super
seding the defunct Deschutes Ir
rigation & Power Co.
The Water Users Association,
the company and A. M. Drake,
of Bend, were all represented by
attorneys. The Irrigation Com
pany requested that the time of
completing the contract as to the
lands in segregation No. 6 be ex
tended until February 1913, and
the time for completing the conr
tract as to lands on segregation
19 be exteuded until October 17,
1915.
; It was also asked that the in
terest on liens should begin at
the date the lands are approved
for sale by the Board instead of
ine aaxe wnen tne proot was
submitted on application for pat
ent. Objections are made by the
water users to sales of land to
settlers until water is actually
available to be placed on the
land for crop purposes, and the
Board is asked to take steps to
protect the settler in his water
right and to refuse to allow liens
or privileges to attach in favor
of contractors where there is a
doubt oi tne water rignt, so as
to avoid complications and liti
gation for the water users.
It is practically assured that
the settlers will be required to
pay the state 50 cents an acre on
the lands, probably half at time
of filing application and half at
time of furnishing proof.
Drake is particularly interest
ed because of a power site at
Bend. He claims a prior right
on water appropriation and
wishes to have at least 1200 sec
and feet of water flowing in the
river past the Bend for power
purposes. He claims he is en-
titled to this under original con
tracts when he disposed 4 of his j
The time to commence lamb feeding
should be governed by the circum
stances and conditions that surround
the farmer, writes John M. Jamison In
the National Stockman. If heVnuts to
finish the work about the holidays he
must commence early. If It Is tlu
plan to feed and shear, thv feeding
should bewln much Int er. f!lnvpp
must be used early before frost strikes
It. for frosted clover is of no value
for lambs. If there Is blue grass It
can be grazed till Inclement weather
drives to shelter and longer than that
when the fields adjoin the shelter and
lots. Alfalfa can also be grazed after
the tops are frost bitten, but the graz
ing should not be close.
On our farm there Is a field of blue
grass adjoining the lots that usually
lias a good coat of grass In the full.
This adjoins nil other fields of the
farm, gates opening Into them.
Whether the lambs come In early or
late the blue grass pasture Is almost
always used to help start the lambs
on feed, grazing during a part or ail
Hay when the weather allows nnd go
mg to tne barn nnd lots at night to
find alfalfa hay and a little corn In
the racks. Very little hay and corn
are put in at the start, as It Is best to
have them fresh each time they go
to them. If there Is uny hay left over It
goes to the horse barn. The corn goes
to the pigs or Is put some place where
the air will purify It so It can go back
to the racks in a day or two.
Gradually the corn and hay fed are
increased as the blue grass fulls. This
way of feeding Is kept up till the
Iambs do not care any more to leave
the lots for the blue grass pasture.
Then the gates are closed, and they
do not leave the lots again, unless bv
accident, till they go to mnrket.
Jt used to be my custom to work
them up to full feed In thirty days,
meaning by full feed all the corn they
would eat from one feeding Ume to
another. Keeping up to this amount
meant too often that some of the
lambs would fall to eat. making the
lot irregular as feeders. To overcome
this fault the plan was adopted to feed
a little short of what they would eat.
so tnat an wouia come to reed every
time. This was much more satisfac
tory than the former plan, and they all
seemed to thrive better. The rule Is
to put In the rack a stipulated amount
of ear corn, allowing them to shell lr,
which they do without protest, finish
Ing before they leave the rack. If two
men work at feeding the corn feeder Is
followed by the hay man putting the
hay In on top of the corn. If the hay
is nirairn tuey ao not seem to care
which they eat first.
The feeding Is done twice a day at
as near stated times as possible. The
mop-lug time to feed should not be too
early, as they are slow to start. Nor
should the evening time be too late.
for the feeder wants to see that all
come to their feed promptly. It may
do to feed a hog after dark, but never
a Iamb. At every feeding time the
cobs and refuse hay should be thrown
out or tne racKs. All or tne nay we
feed Is alfalfa, and what the lambs do
not eat Is taken to the horse bnrn
where the horses are glad to get It and
eat It to the last straw.
Tholr Bill of Fare.
Two well known Now Yorkers, after
a lively winter of It, went together to
a mineral sprlug establishment to ro
vivo. They called on the doctor, ex
plaining that they wanted to cut every
thing out and get buck on curth again.
The doctor told them how to take their
baths, what exercise to take and gavo
them a diet list with various Items of
food ou It checked In lead pencil. They
took the baths, but had a hard time of
it when It came to the diet, because
they liked none of the things marked
Still, they stuck it out for three days
did the best they could with the food
exercised, bathed, then went to tho
doctor.
"Sny, doc," said one of them, "can't
you loosen up n llttlo on this diet? We
are doing exactly what you told us to
but neither of us likes any of thceo
things you checked on that bill. Can't
you let us have a little something
more?"
"What's that?" asked tho doctor.
"I say we don't like a darned one of
thoso things you checked off for us
to eat."
"For you to eat!" roared the doctor,
"Why. you Idiots, the things I checked
off were the things you were not to
eat!" Philadelphia Saturday Evening

Indigestion In Pigs.
Stop feeling corn and oats. Allow
the pigs their liberty on grass. Feed a
light slop of tnllk, middlings.' bran and
a very little cornraeal nnd flaxseed
meal. Add llmewater at the rate of
one ounce per quart at each meal until
the pigs are doing well, then give It
once dally. See that the slop barrel
and feeding troughs are kept scrupu
lously clean. When the pigs are well
cojn may be lightly fed.

live stock that can safely be allowed

Including bugs, worms, ants, etc. Some

got on to the fact that the ants, which
do much damage by moving their
"dairy cows," the aphides, from twig
to twig on the young apple trees,
make headquarters in the cracks in
the hoII at the base of the tree, and
they are frequently seen very indus

they may get the ants nnd their larvae.
