Tillamook county, who had purchased
a farm In Ihe Herrnlston section for the

Here was an Idea born of experience

LARGE GAME BAG
Since 1915, when Uncle Sam turned
hunter of wild animals that roam the
Western ranges and prey on the farm
ers' livestock, he has accumulated a
game bag the like of which was never
before witnessed In history, according
to reports to the biological survey. Unit

made public.
Listing the predatory animals which
go to raaks up ths kill total, the inven
tories of the six-year campaign are as
follows: 40 bears. 17,(42 bobcats and
lynxes, 133.(04 coyotes, 6U mountain lions
and 1630 wolves. The firures represent

Probably the figures would be doubled If
tnoss animals, too, were placed in the
list Many poisoned animals, however,
are never found.
During the fiscal year 121 figures
i snow the total number ot predatory am
mala killed was 27,637. classified as fol
lows : 89 bears, 2468 bobcats and lynxes.
24,258 coyotes, 128 mountain lions and
594 wolves. The average destruction by
these animals Is estimated to be,. for each
won ana mountain lion, about 81000
worth of livestock ; each coyote, and bob
cat. 850 worth ; and each stock-killing
bear, 8500 worth. In view of these esti
mates an idea may be obtained of the
tremendous damage averted by the gov
ernment's skilled hunters.
5ETADA LEADS
These figures are averages. In some
eases, notably that of the Custer wolf,
the depredations of individual preda
tory animals have reached much higher
figures. The Custer wolf was esU
mated to have killed at least $25,000
worth of cattle before it was disposed
of not long ago.
The figures cited above- represent the

Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. .
uuring we six-year .campaign more
predatory animals wereVilled In Nevada
than in any other state, due largely to
the, fact that that state was the first
to conduct a cooperative campaign with
the federal government, starting in 1918.
Tne total killed in Nevada, not In

32,068. Utah comes second with 21.713;

On ot the olreest Kttle industries in

There are approximately 250 goaU on
the payroll and they range over a tract
of 700 acres of brush land owned by the
O-W. R. . N. company, lying eastward
from East Eighty-second street and In
cluding Rocky butte. The dairy com
pany holds this acreage under lease and
hafrected suitable buildings for resi
dence and dairy purpose a i
The dairy la a model of cleanliness
and is equipped with modern appliance
for handling the output of the herd. Ths
plant has been given the highest. of
ratings by city and stats dairy Inspec
tors and ths herd m excellent condi
tion and free from disease of any kind.
The milk produced by the herd aver
age from 10 per cent to 14 per cent but
ter fat for ths Nubians and rrora H per
cent to 8 per cent for the Saanena, ac
cording to D. Holt, manager of the
dairy. x ,
The Nubian does average one gallon
a day and approximately ths same av
erage Is obtained from the Saanen doea
The majority of the -Cera are or tnese
two varieties, though -there arc also a
number of Tegenburg goats, whose mOk
is used In the manufacture or cheese.
The milk Is In great demand in Port
land, Holt stated, especially as a diet
for children. Grown-ups thrive equally
well uoon it. he staled, and many bust
ness men take it fegularly with their
noonday luncheon. The entire output of
the dairy finds a ready market in the
city at 40 cents a quart.
Ths pride of ths herd ia Fannie, a
4-year-old doe, giving more than a gal
lon a day. Fannie is SO per cent Nu
bian and 80 per cent Saanen. Her sire
is Idlewtld Leonard, a pure bred regis
tered Nubian buck, owned by the Port
land Goat Dairy company and used' for
breeding purposes. Idlewild Leonard
heads a long list of first prizes taken at
exhibitions and his owners have re
fused offers of 81000 for him, according
to Dr. J- Murphy, head ot the com
pany. '
Nubian goats are odorless and Im
mune from tuberculosis, as are also the
Saanen and Togenburgs. But the Tog-
enburgs certainly have an odor and the
Saanen goats are not free from a sus
picion of smelL The milk is not af
fected by the flavor of foods eaten by
the goats and is pleasing to most pal
atea One pound of hay per day for
each goat is a fair winter ration and
their graslng habits are above reproach.

and Un cans are strictly taboo and the
high bred doe turns up her nose at feed
which would prove highly tempting to

ana tne storms known as "blixsarda'
The weather bureau of the United States
department of agriculture, in its endeav
org to assist stockmen, issues warnings
of tnese unfavorable conditions, which
are dangerous to farm animals. These
warnings are widely distributed by tele
graph and telephone to large centers, but
tne rurtner. dissemination must devolve
on the people interested. The problem
has been largely solved tn some states,
particularly Missouri, by telegraphing the
warning to one central point in each
county, where arrangements are made to
telephone Information of the warnings to
each community interested.
When a warning is received the farmers
and stockmen on the great Western rang'
es arrange to graze their stock near shel
ter or in such a direction from shelter
that the stock will drift toward it when
the anticipated severe weather comes.
modification of this service consists of
sheep shearing and lambing forecasts
and warnings. In early shearing and
lambing districts shearing Is delayed or
iewly born sheep, ewes and young lambs
are kept near suitable shelter, such as
coulees, where they wHl receive protec
tion when wind, snow or cold rains are
expected. ,

1 NOTES S-XO
Simple methods and simplicity la
buildings, equipment and rations have
much to do with the success of poultry-
men, according to observations and ex-
periments made by ths United States
department of agriculture. There Is -a
mistaken Idea among many inexpert
enced poultry raisers that the more
elaborate the preparations made tor conducting-
a plant or for caring for a
small nock, the better the chance of
success. It Is safer to keep down ex
penses as much as possible without in
terfering with the health, comiort ana
nourishment of ths .birds.
A moderate price for birds of a good
laying strain, if egg production is the
principal objective, will prove a good
Investment. Later it may pay to buy
soma exoensiva stock if the develop
ment of business , and the ability of the
owner warrant it Fancy birds In the
hands of poor poultrymea will soon de
teriorate Into a mediocre Cock.
Although labor saving devices may
not be essential or desirable tor . the
owner of the small flock from the stand
point of expense ' and Intimate assocl
ation with the flock, a convenient layout
of the plant is always desirable. The
person without experience will do well
to start in with a comparatively small
flock and build it . up gradually, but
later if he is specialising in poultry and
eggs a flock of such sise that will re
quire all of his. time should be kept

TON BUREAU OF THS JOURNAL.)
Ths bureau ot roads of the department
of agriculture estimates that when the
good roads bill with' Us 878,000.000 ap
propriation for federal " aid is passed it
will provide employment tor 800,000 to
li 0,000 men for six months, which will
play a material part In dealing with
unemployment conditions.
"Whsn It is passed." qualifies tne
outlook, for at last reports the bill is
in a bad way, although fully agreed
upon by the conference. This situation
results from the rules of the house of
representatives, which has brought on
conflict with ths senate because the
senate insists it has Just as much right
to appropriats money as ths house.
-ORIGINATED I2T 8 E 9 ATE
Ths house rules makes any appropri
ation an outlaw unless it comes through
its appropriations committee. The good
roads bill . when it passed, the bouse
carried no appropriation, aod ths senate
wrote in the 875,000.000 before It sent
the bUI to conference, Ths-house Is not
opposed to the appropriation, but it can
not receive the conference report be
cause the appropriation originated in
. T .
A special rule would make the bill in
order, but Representative Mondell. the
house leader, is afraid of establishing
a precedent in that line. Chairman
Madden of the house apropriaUons com
mittee, suggested that a mere authori
sation be substituted, and his commit-
tee would make the appropriation in a
separate measure, but the senate con
ferees objected to that This Is as good
a time as any, they said, to decide
whether the house Intends to keep its
hands tied by a lot of "fool rules" which
hamper legislative' action.
COSTUSIOK REIQXS
The controversy really goes back to
the difficulty that a house of 428 mem
bers has In keeping control of its busi
ness, which it attempts to do by cen
tralising power tn the appropriations
committee and a few leaders, assisted
by a set ot complicated rules which
every now and then gets It into a tangle
like that oa the good roads bill. Rules
have been added upon rules, restricting
debate, amendment and ordinary parlia
mentary procedure, and the business of I
the country waits upon the committee
overlords.
Increase of this confusion would
necessarily come from an increase in
the house membership, and would be di
minished if the house bad the courage
te reduce Its number. The good roads
bill is a victim of these conditions, as
other bills have been, and others will
be until the house finds some cure tor
Its malady.
