Tho work In connection with this summer's development of tho now cnnnl will reuulro an expenditure of $175,000. All of this money will bo H)tit close to Ilond. Tho cntlro system will require approximately $700,000 to comploto. Timber. Tributary to Ilond. on down grade hauls, Is 20,000,000,000 feet of tho finest yellow plno timber. Jlesldcs providing tho chonp powor for tho milling of this enormous timber belt, Ilend offers tho best of mill pond facilities.

As all labor on my farm Is hired nnd as I never do any manual lilmr myself. It Iwliooves mo In all my farming operations to first of all get mj labor down to a straight hunlni'HK proMMltlon. Years ago I urd to feed my cattle com twlre n day until one day I ran serous ProfiHor Henry's look and there saw the statement that many rattlomcn fed only mice n day. I bare In my yards at present 300 head of calves. All are well bred Hereford, bought from one ranch In Nebraska. The were wenned the day prior to shipping nnd were received Oct. 23- Tiiee calves on Jan. II were being fed i00 jKiiinds of corn and cob meal, WO pounds of oatJi. 1JOO pounds of clover or alfalfa bay nnd 000 KMinds of oat straw.

Tba Illus tration showa a fine Shorthorn bull of pur breeding. clean np at one meal There will be no Increase lu the amount ot alfalfa fed. The 300 Hereford calves on March S weighed 700 pounds each. TbU enormous gain was made wlbte by the splendid weather. They now each get twelve wund of shelled corn ami six tounds of alfalfa n day. The calves are fed once a day. The amount of hay nnd straw to be fed Is weighted and put In the racks: then the grain I weighed and put In the boxen. TbU Is always done by t030 a. m. One man with team eeds the Brain, nnd hay and fewl and attends to hogs b noon, 'in tbo nftcruoon ho grinds corn or hauls bedding when necessary. Tbo sheds nro bedded down twice n week. Ho then loads bis hay wagon nnd his grain wagon ready for next day. In the winter months there are two men. and this work is often divided so ns to allow for other work In tbo afternoon, but from the middle of March until the cattle are old In tho I summer one man doo It all nnd has . nil the ows and oilier Utters to look ' after as well Of courre he linn earlier Legal Blanks OF ALL KINDS Blank Notes Rent Books Receipt Books Agreements Sales Contracts Crook County Maps Central Oregon Maps Scratch Pads Township Plats Cruisers' Books.

It Is n fixed rule on the farm that all work toM at rl. p m.: supper at (1. This rule Is never broken even for haying or har vest unions I pay the men overtime. Many young feeders make the great mistake of trying to push their cnttle too rapidly. Never forget that the ben and blggeMt gains nre made the first month on the smallest amount of grain. It Is not big gains that pay. It Is economical gains. Ever feeder wben be gets his cattle ought to bavo bis ration figured out that It. bis cheapest ration. No two ears aro alike in this. If clover or alfalfa Is worth $7 per ton and corn DO cents per bushel the ration might bo for n 1,000 pound steer, nineteen ounds cur corn and twenty pounds hay, whereas, if U10 clover or alfalfa Is $10 to $12 a ton and corn less than 40 rents n bushel. It might better be a ration nf ten pounds clover and twenty-fire pounds ear corn. If yon have straw or fodder work It Into your ration according to quantity or price. DOGS OF ALASKA.

On ono occasion I remember t waa driving a team of dogs down the Yukon river and had ono dog in the team called Tommy, who waa n good dog in his way, but who showed a strong dlsllko to being harnessed to such an extent that In the morning, when nil tbo other, dogs were bitched to the sleigh. Tommy would hide himself under a cabin or bur himself In the snow. Thbt continued for several mornings. nrf IxHitlnir him necmed to hare no of- I feet- One morning, however, too team had been standing In tbo cold walling ! for Master Tommy. I Anally dlcov ' ered him biding nnder tbo roots of n tne. and as soon as I came in sight, dragging tho dog, the entire team, mov ed by a common Impulse, uounded to ward mo and at once administered a terrible thrashing to Tommy. I finally rescued him from his angry companions, and after that Tommy was always the first to put his head In tbo collar in answer to my whistle.
