HAH, 7, IVOl. How the Prize Lambs Were Produced. The splendid carload of range lambs Itit-li took the first prixe of at the tecent stock show in Chicago wore own ed ami raised by L. F. Oswald, of t'tah. ays the Breeder ami Sportsman. They ere out of common range ewes and aired by full-blooded Lincoln rams, and were dropped on the range along the foothills from April 3d to May 1st. Concerning their treatment Mr. Oswald says: They were run in small bun "he mutil the middle of May, when the Mothers were sheared and the Hocks started for the high mountains and kept tallowing the snow banks until August 10th, when I sent the ones intended for the contest to mv alfalfa ranch and turned the lambs on the alfalfa, then bout fifteen inches high. I took great care not to allow them on the field un til the dew or frost had disappeared. They were handled in this way until V tol-r 1st, when a mixture of oats and wheat was given them with hay in racks t night. They still had the run of the fields in the daytime. About CH-tobcr 10th the lambs were eating a pound to the head. 1 then changed the grain to 25 bushels of corn, 5 bushels of oats, 12 grain scoops of g'tod screenings and IV) 18. of oil meal all ground together. I gradually increased the grain ration tin til they were eating a trifle over 2$ lbs. f this mixture and 1 lb. of sugar beets, yulped, a day, with as much wild hay a they wanted. They ate the 2l2 pounds of grain and the sund of sugar fceets for thirty day, were never off their leed and were sound. 1 fed twice a day, aight and morning, and at exactly the me time each day, 7 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. They weighed U lbs. when ther went on feed, 1 Irt lbs. when they left tho feed lot Tr market and 107 lbs. when sold. They brought i.50 it 100 lbs. The constitutional lawyer of the Bos ton Herald in an article assailing the hip subsidy bill said it was draw n in its present form so as to make it im possible for future Congresses to re-j-al it. It assumes that the effect ot the passage of the bill w ill be to enable the beneficiaries of the subsidy system to enter into contracts which the Govern aient cannot abrogate, lieeause the Federal Constitution forbids the pass ive of a law impairing the obligation of a contract, says the Chronicle. If the Herald will turn to the section of the Constitution it relies i-pon to sustain its contention it will see that it is the states which are precluded from passing laws of tlie character referred tf. Congress tn pass laws impairing the obligation f contracts and has dune so on occasion. Another reason has been found why men should not wear long whi.-kers.

A crew of four men are at work on the building. Ijtst Saturday evening as Ir. A. A. Witliam and P. 11 Conrad were return ing I rum f-ilver Ijike, just as they reach ed the divide letw-en Silver lake and .summer lake they saw a mountain sheep. There is said to be two of these animals ranging in the rimrot k on the divide and they are the only ones in the country. The Dr. said this one looked as big ai a horse. They had ail excel lent view of him and i". was a grand sight. F. M. Chrismau stated to a Post re resentative last week while in conversa tion regarding the future development of the northern part of Iaike county, that he had made a test of a dry-laud grass that was far ahead of alfalfa. He had in last season 10 acres of Urome grass which he says is just the thing for arid lands. There are thousands of acres of as tine land as ever laid out doors in Northern Lake county and no reason for its remaining vacant and dormant when a large yield of tine hay can le produced without water. There is tine laud lying vacant at Silver Lake joining the town. This seems strange, but it is a fact, nevertheless. For miles aruind the town of Silver I-ake the country is per fectly level, and still vacant land ad j .ing the town. Theie is no place in Oregon offering better opportunities for successful farming and stockrais i n g than the vicinity of Silver Lake. stock sorts. Louis tierber lught 100 head of cattle fromC. A. Kehart of Crooked Creek, ami expects to make some purchases in the northern part of the -utility, lie in formed us that Jim Small and Mr. Abshier of r-ilver Iaike had some cattle for sale and he expected to look at them. He will buy cattle or sheep and is pay the top price. Chas. TrumU) started about 500 head of fat cattle to the desert north of Christ mas lake this week. The cattle are in excellent condition and will not suffer any uudesired result from the change. The weaker ones were kept on tho feed ing grounds. K. M. (Jreen XL foreman, came over from the Abert Lake ranch Tuesday on his way to Foster's in Summer Lake. Mr. Green went to look at Conner, Foster's race stallion with a view to tuning him. He intends to raise some fine horses for saddle and driving pur (hiscs from the XL band. Dr. A. A. Wiiham last week negoti ated a deal for a tine bunch of yearling heifers consisting of 10 or 12 head, which he will add to his bunch of slock cattle in Summer Iake valley. The Ir. wishes to buy more heifers, and will soon have quite a band of cattle. Jack Kelsay has 50 head of fine Here ford bulls among the I lines & Kelsay cattle; they are of the best strain of Herefori stock. This is a fact worthy of notice, as the time is near at hand w hetj the better breed of cattle w ill I sought after, and the scrubs will be left on the ranges At the present time it is not difficult to dispose of any grade of cattle, but this state of affairs may not remain long, then let the people of this section be prepared to compete with any cattle producing section in America and our stockmen will not be affected by any decrease in demand. A resolution introduced in the Legis lature, praying to Congress for a divis ion of the State of Oregon, was not taken seriously, and it was lost upon a motion that further consideration of the resolution be indefinitely postponed.

Conrad, who has for some time advocated the practicability of building storage reservoirs in the mountains sur rounding the two great valleys of North ern Lake county, has recently made a few inspections with the result that he is absolutely certain that the excriliiciit would be susces-ful, especially in the hills bordering the western part of Sum mer Lake valley and the southern part of Silver Lake valley, says the Chewau can Post. There is, at the least calcula tion. 50.000 acres of land in Summer Lake valley that would make excellent homes if water could be had to irragale it. At the south end of Silver lake where there is but one ranch, there are several thousand acres of gxsl laud with an excellent opportunity for building reservoirs at a nominal cost, and an abundance of water runs to waste there every spring. It is only a matter of a short time when this project will lie tried, ami when once the experiment proves suc cessful, more land will be put under cultivation than is now cultivated in this portion of Lake county, making homes for hundreds of people. This should lie looked after before the gov ernment has a chance to lease out these lands for a life time to monopolies and land-grabbers, which is sure to come in time. He Ought to Know. In referring to an item in The Po. t regarding W. J. Sherlock having cut from the ear of a sheep an almost per fect horn, The Examiner intimates that we have been jollyed, "as Mr. Sherlock is as full of tricks as a boy in swimming," Does The Examiner man mean to say our sheep editor don't know a sheep's ear when he sees it, or that Mr. Sher lock has played a trick on another man's sheep cutting it's ear off ? Chewaucan Post. Nay! Nay! My bleating friend. None of this. But we only wanted to caution you, for Willie would as soon play a trick on a sheep editor as on the sheep. However, jokes aside, we have no doubt of the genuineness of the curio. Say what you want to about canned fruit bought at other places, but you'IH have nothing but praise for the kind we have.
