The Heppner Cuzetu KHtnhlichc.i March Is-i-'t. rSSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Warned Entered at the Fottottice at Heppner Oregon, a ?cuui1 -class matter. Thursday. , Julv 19. 190G nty in by 3 a goad boa A change iu the i emulation of the forestry bureau, governing the grazing of 6heep iu the leserves of Wyoruiiig, Colorado, MontHua. 1'tah una other states, abolishes the percentage system heretofore in use, under which system lmnbs under six morrlis of age were counted. Hereafter no count will he made of lambs under six months of age, and the charges will be made on a flat rate basis, counting ouly the old stock. The minimum price for graziug sheep will be kept at 5 cents a head for the present. The ohM forestei, in a letter to the National Wool Growers' Association, announces that otLer chaDges will be made that will beueii; the sheep and vool-growin 'in'erests using the forest reseives. "It will be our ftini," writes the chief forester, Mo realjintthe charges for grnz iug 6heep on an equitable basis, lowering the late in localities where it appears too high, and raising it in localities where the .hd vantages wmrant it. I assure .11, L .. 1. .. you, it wilt oi our aim to ihhm the rates comparatively equitable in all case, and I 1 ope we will be Whv Don't Homescekers Come To Mo County? Morrow county produces more wealth per capita than any otber co the state of Oregon. Our territory within cotin'y lines is 7.") miles in lenjst miles in width, large enough ior a state, but with not enough population fo sized country village. Only WOO people in the county. Every year we grow about 1,000.000 bushels of wheat. This ia wortl W hare about 225.000 head of sheep worth about $3(12,000, after Blearing while tha wool from these sheep will sell for SoOO.000. Then there are botes and i ait.e wcrtr. at eat-t a na i h mutum mo e. These are the main items in the wealth producers. It don't take much fijarinM when you look at these figures to cornel to the conclusion that Morrow county peop e make some money. We have theioii, the ilinnte and the goods make gooJ. t Morrow county's climate is pleasant and healthful. Morrow county people are prof perous. Morrow county people havemoney Here in the town of Heppner we have two banks. The First National in'publisb ed statements shows deposits running from half a mil. ion dollars up. Bijih banks have a big business. Heppner can show tlm largest bank deposits of anw town of its iae iu the North west, and it should t remembered that Lexington, Mine miles away, and lone, JS miles from Hmpuner both Imve banks doing a good jbusiuess. This looks like Morrow county peopl.-1 have money. J But look heie, almost half tiie population of Morrow county resile in the towns. This leaves only between 3,000 and 4,tXi) people in a territory 73 miles in leuuth liy Co miles m wealth. Don't you think there is room for more people. Ten or twelve years ago land in Morrow county went begging at from if 100 to 8250 for a quarter section. Five years ago this laud had looked up to $6.00 and $7;00 per acre. Today this land is worth $15 per acre w ith a few of (he choicest lots nome timas bringing $20 per acre. Now the old timers are wondering why tliey did not take advantage of this cheap land. They could have made a barrel of money. J Over iu the adjoining county of Umatiili wheat lands today are forth from $"0 to $75 an acre. O-i the other side of us is Sherman county with wheat lands selling from $25 up. Here we are betweeu with just as good land )and at $15 per acre. Our lands are sure to go up in price. Io a few years the people, heie wilj be again wondering why they did not buy some of this $13 land. Thd proposition is the same now as it was a few years ago, but it takes more money. Lat yetr and year before a number of good farmers bought wheat iauJs and paid for it with the first crop. Come to Morrow county and investigate this land business. Fo lowing are a few sumplm of what we have for sale: row HINTS- FOP. FARMERS No 1 320 acres, 13 mile oou.h of lone, 220 acres in cultivation ami is in crop.

The action of the forestry bureau I ?od well water fair building one I ni Kj frnm bp inn) Prwa inr-l mi i n cr frnn is the result of protests from tliei RIimmpr ... S,,01, t:30ll() sheep men usuiy the Shu Juan and Cochetopa forest reserves iu Colo rado. These protests were pre sented to the National Wool Growers' Association, and by it referred to tlin chief foresler. Complaints of inequitable regula tions on other reserves have been received and in due time the Wool Growers' Association hopes to secure the needed concessions. The pnssnge of the bill amend ing the 28 hour law, granting shippers eight hours additional timfl stock may rema:n in the cnrr, which was originally drawn by the cattle intertsts, is a great victory for the National Wool Growers' Association, which sent a delegation to "W.H hingtcn early in February to vork with the com mittee of the Senate and IIouBe tiaving the bill under considera tion, It was an vpdiill fight rgainst the IInroar,e Society :uter- r-sts of the country, but the large majorities given the measure in both houses indicate that the con gressmen believed the representa tions of the stock men in perfer-f-nce to the claims of the Humane Society lobbyists, who claimed that an extension of tima stock might remain in the cars would be inhuman and would work an ur ijeceseary hardship upou the stock. Just the reverse was proved to be the case by 6tock men, who showed, through their delegations in Washington, that more hard ship was workei by compelling stock to fiequently unload when m ar a market, where an extension i f h few hours would have carried (hem to the raarket in good con dition.

Proper Feeding of Stock. Ia feed! tig live stock all animals should lmve as much as they will eat up clean and never enough to waste. If when fed on concentrated food they begin to show their dislike to it the quantity should be diminished and more bulky matter substituted, but ev erything depends upou the observation of the farmer, and it Is easXQji' him to know how to regulate his manner of feeding. An important mutter iu meas uring and weighing is the knowledge the farmer always possesses of what ho is doing, and a memorandum book Is a necessary adjunct to the system, which serves not only in summing up the amount of feeding material on hand, but also assists iu the future management as well as being a guide lu the rotation and selection of the crops most necessary the succeeding year. Every farmer should know what he is feeding to his stock, its value and the benefit derived from it Philadel phia Record. Molasaea For Pisa. In a pig feeding experiment at Fort Collins molasses from the sugar mill was utilized as a complement to corn and shorts. The molasses was mixed with water and the grain added, suffi cient to make a thlu slop. Molasses was also put in the drinking water, which was relished greatly by the pigs, for after a time they would not drink water without It. The pigs averaged eighty-three pouuds each at the time the experiment began aud 212 pounds each at the close. They were fed 107 days. It required 3.3 pounds of grain and 1.8 pounds of molasses for each pound of gain. At local prices for the grain and molasses the cost of each pound of gain was 3.G1 cents. Consld eriug that no pasture was used, these results show a high feeding value for molasses. The pork from these bogs was very fine. Intelligent Dogs. The shepherd dogs of South America have an extra duty to perform. The vultures are very cunning birds and the dread enemies of all sheep owners. The sheep are so heavy and fat that when they fall down aud roll over on their backs they cannot get back ou their feet They He down and kick, and the watchful dog know this sig nal as one of distress. They nm to their assistance and help' them up; oth erwise the vultures would sw oop down upou them when iu their helpless con dition, pick out their eyes and torment them in other ways until they die.
