Read The Examiner Want Ads TO REVISE CATTLE ' RAISING INDUSTRY Ths day of raising Rftst hard ot cattle on the fres and optn ranges of ths Northwest has passed. Cattls kings, prompted by high prices of beef have "cashed in," leaving (his section of the couqtry in the midst of a cattle famine. Normal conditions will r turn only in the end of a pariod of transition when the farmer, with a mall bsrd scientifically tailed, will have taken tbe place of the stockman whose thoussnds of cattle roamtd ths ranges and msrsly grew. These are contentions advanced by Randall R. Howard in tha .sailing articla of tbe Septcmbernumbar of The Country Gentlemen, entitled "Get ting Ahead of a Meat Famine." The autcaption of the artiele ia "An Op portunity for the Small Stockman and Farmer." So scares is feeding stock today, ac cording to Mr. Howard, that buyers are scouring the Texas Panhandle and Southwest, practically begging stock men of thtt territory for an opportun ity tc purchase cattle to snip to Ore gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, so that the Northwestern ranchers may have a profitable opportunity of using the hay they have grown. And the success which thus buyers are meeting is aptly described b an in terview which Mr. Howard had with an official of one of the biggest cattle loan and feeder companies of the Northwest. He quotes tbe interview ss follows: "But what ate you going to do? Where are you going to get feeders to use up the bay in the Northwest this year? 1 asked. "We're sitting on a tack," be replied, meaning the bank official. "We can't get leeders. They're being held too high, down in Mexico and Texas. Tbcy ask $62 50 for cowa and calves. They want $62 for two-year-old steers that can't be bandied here for less than $7 more, and that won't be worth more than $75 after the farmer feed them for four months. So we're sitting on a tack." "What are the bay ranchers of tbe Northwest doing?" "Some of them are-Retting pinched." The history of eattle raising in the West is briefly traced in the artiele from the time when eattle' were not raised but "grew." when the stock men began to raise bsy. when the ranges became crowded and eattle ana sheepmen were at war, when Uncle Sam assumed control of thousands of acres ot National forests, and tbe coming of the irrigation age, when tbe cattleman waa driven still further lack to seek grazing land for hkstoek. All these stagea of development were merely ateps toward the inevitable passing of the cattle king, and tbe coming of the time when cattle ia tbe West must be raised as they are in tne East in com'pxrstively small berds by the farmer. Quoting from Mr. How ard's article, the natural results of the influx of settlers and development of Northwestern lands has brought about the transition period of the West, and Mr. Howard describes ita effect as follows: . "The cattle kings have been largely forced cut of the business. The small stockmen have been drifting under pressure ot decreasing range and the recent high prices have perauaded most of them to 'cash in.' Yet the orchard land boomers to the contrary notwithstanding the Northwest is primarily and most naturally a stock raising country. And the Northwest must turn acout and recover its lost HvetBock prestige if it is to put to tbe highest economic use Its dry-farming grain fields and its Irrigated alfalfa lands. The day of tbe big cattle berd on the free open range is practically over. Tbe day of the small cattle herd on the farm is just beginning." Mr, Howard then takes up, as an example, the history of the hog-raielng industry in the Northwest. He tells of its rise and its sudden decline. The revival came with the establish ment of toe Union Stockyards m Port land, and the subsequent campaign of caseation among farmers by agricul tural colleges, packers and the Ore go.-. State Bankers' Association. Even tbe school children were taught tbe significance 'of the stock-raising re vival. Portland livestock and market ing interests, imported carloads of select hogs, distributing them among farmera at cost price. Special trains bearing experts wen among the farmers and spread tbe gospel of the bck-to-the-livestock movement. The results are strikingly apparent. The receipts at tbe Portland stockyards tell the story best in figures. IS is no longer necessary to bring bogs here from Nebraska. Tbe Northwest is supplying its own pork. A movement similar to the "back-to-the-hog" campaign is on foot to reestablish the Northwest as a catt'e raising country. Because the returns are neither as prompt nor as promising aa in pig business, the movement of necessity is progressing moro slowly. Ooe reason for the slowneBs, accord ing to Mr. Howard, is ti e practice of selling calves. Mr. Howard writes: j "It is estimated that in Tillamook County, Oregon the premier dairy, ing county ot the Northwest a total of 10,000 calves are "knocked In the head every year." The excuse of the dairyman Is that It is cheaper to sell the calves, aa the profits on milk and cream are about $1)0 a year for each cows. To realise that muoh on a calf It would be nec essary to feed It for about three years. The present conditions in the North weat are described as change from one stsge of progress to another and higher one. The hog-raising props gsnda has slready had its effects, as not a single live hog has been import ed to Oregon from Nebrsska since August, 1912. In 19. 1 83.789 csme from Nebraska, representing about 40 per cent of all the hogs thst psssed ovor the Scales. The campstgn ot education among the farmers will also restore-the csttte industry to a normal basis in the Northwest, according to Mr. Howard, wbo concludea his article as follows : "The 'wheat miner' ia being taught that his safeat market and his largest profits are secured by keening his produce on the farm until It ia conver ted into self-trsnsportable. meat pro ducts. Ths many open-range stockmen ho have 'cashed in' their herds and movtsd to town or city during ths past 10 years sre being replaced by mora contented smsll stockmen and term ers. The states of the Pacific Notrh west are being stocked up largely with higb-grade cattle ana hogs. And per haps not lesst, science Is being Inject ed into the stock-rsislng rsvivsl." CONSERVATISM.

"It Is contended by the friends ot the infill order houses that as a great economic uuwt!on tho rights of the consumer and purchaser to buy wher ever ho can obtain the lowest prices should not bo raised and that if the extension of tho mail order business means tho elimination of the country merchant then the country merchant must go. "If such arguments were logically sound, which I do not admit, there is still tbe social, moral and religious view to bo considered. Tbe retail mer chant is the backbone of the country town.
