Strong, two i f the live boosters of the Dew Valley -octi n. came in Monday night to K. of P. lodge. These gentlemen say the Knights is "the lodge", and no doubt the example they are set­ ting of regularly attending is going to have its influence among Dew Valley people interested in fraternity. I FOUR MILE L____________ _ I By CLEM A. McAdams of Bandon was a ' business visitor at the North Prairie ranch Sunday. Earnest Hughs was a visitor at the DeOs ranch Sunday. Carl Johnson returned home Mon­ day after completing his job fur the McNair Hardware Co. C. F. Waterman was a Bandon visitor Monday. Most of the ranchers have been feeding their stock during the trusty weather of the past two weeks There is always a bunch of calam­ ity howlers in every community. For instance, we hear from numerous sources that the horse industry Is down ¿fnd out and there is no sale for them. We notice that contractors are securing teams for next summer's work even at this time and are offer­ ing $6.00 per day for 8 hours. It is a safe bet that 90 per cent of our horses are in the cayuse class and not capable of doing a day's work such as horses are supposed to do. W'e are endeavoring to better our dairy herds by breeding to better sires. Some < f the more enterprising have invested in high class hogs and are trying’to further that industry by giving our ranchers the benefits " incurred by them. But where is the rancher that is trying to regenerate the horse! It does not necessarily require a well- bred mare to produce a draft colt. For instance, any good Sound half- breed Perclieron sire or any other heavy stock mare if mated to a well bred heavy sire will generally pro­ duce a good seller. Why n >t raise a few of the $200 sort and find out how easy it is to dispose of them? Can­ vass your locality and find how few of this class of horses you will Dud. W ithout a doubt there is ready Bale x .. tor heavy horses if we only had Uiem in the monthly spelling contest to offer. the Fourth grade.
