grazing of 6heep iu the leserves of
Wyoruiiig, Colorado, MontHua.

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

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:

The action of the forestry bureau I ?od well water fair building one

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

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.
