The horses stomach is the smallest
similar organ to be found in compar-
alive anatomy. 1t holds but about
half as much as the horse needs to
eat, eating DO oftener than man. 1t
is hard to find horse asleep in a
pasture. He goes to sleep in a stable
but when he gets out to pasture he
eats nearly all the time. He is con
tinually filing himself with grass
That indicates that he has rapid
ity of digestion only equalled by his
rapidity of power in regard to the

Make the most of the hogs while
they are shut up for fatting. Keep
thepens well Uttered with dry leaves
and road scrapings.
To make economical pork the pig
should be kept in a continuously
growing condition from the day of
his birth until he is delivered into
the hands of the butcher.
1t is said that a quart of charcoal
given to a brood SOW that has taken
too much feed by accident or other
wise, will speedily relieve her. A
little charcoal is good for the hogs,
and it should be given them oc.
casionally.
In the early days of farming in
Minnesota, the swine raised and fat
tened by the farmers, were all near
ly white. 1t is said that now ninety
per cent. of them are black or spot
ted. 1t would seem by this that
black or spotted pigs are great fav
orites with the northwestern farm
ers. Formely most every one had
a partiality for white pigs.
A flock of twenty-five hens, well
cared for, is more profitable thar
one hundred hens that are made t.
shift for themselves.
The number of fowls kept il
France is said to be nearly A 900
600. The average product of chick
ems raised is estimated at three Il
each hen. and the average product
of eggs per pen at 100 per annum
Fowls that are made overfatj anC
kept stimulated are more liable tC
disease than when in ordinary flesh
1t is better to keep them hungry
during the summer than to make
them slOvenly with fat.
Hens two or three years old will
not lay so large number of eggs

In quantity, therefore, yearlings will

Telegram: Brainard, the fugitive
bank president who was kidnapped a
a few days ago and brought to this
country to receive merited punish
ment, for his crime, has escaped and
returned to Canada. A large reward
is offered for his return, and he will
probably be kidnapped again if the
thing is possible. 1t seems unjust
that criminal cannot be arrested for
his crime anywhere in the world and
justice be administered to him, but
until this is SO kidnapping will proba

The Baker City Sage Brush thusly
speaks of the beef situation and the
prospect for higher prices: Many cat
tlelnen are selling off stock at present
that it would pay well to keep for an
other year. Such wholesale disposal
of cattle as have been made through
out Eastern Oregon this season will re-
suit in higher prices next year. Part
les from Montana have been buying
and driving to that section and it
would not surprise us to hear that
these same cattle will be sold in the
San Francisco and Portland markets
next spring at double what they now
bring. Ifthe shipments continue for
another month as they have in the
past the ranges will be used only by
horses and sheep and there will not
be enough beef to supply the home
market.
Passengers who arrive here over the
