George Green was taken to Baker City,
Monday, from Pleasant Valley, for med
ical treatment. Ar. Green and his part
ner, Pat McAnavin, were at the bottom
OF sixty-five foot shaft at the Star mine,
about quarter Of mile south Of Pleas
ant Valley. They had been at work
only few minutes and Mr.. Green had
occasion to ascend the ladder. He
started mp and his head had just reached
the top Of the first set of timDers when an
explosion occurred, the full force and
power of the missile striking him on
the right side of his face, knocking him
down and fearfully decorating and burn
ing his face. Mr.. McAnsvin, who wss
standing directly back Of him in the
shaft, escaped without injury. Mr.
Green states positively that no blasting
powder had been used in the mine fol
several days and the explosion is q com
plete mystery to him. He has some sus
picions, but does not care to make them
public at this time. He will probably
lose the sight OF one eye.

THE Low PRICE or WHEAT.

Farmers Are Learning by Actual Exper-
fence What Nothing Else Could Have
I Taught Them.
There 10 probably no agricultural ques-
ton that comes 30 directly home to the
farmers OF today as that Of feeding wheat
to stock and poultry. Will it pay to raise
wheat and feed it to animals and poultry Z?
asks q writer in the American Cultivator,
and continues in answer: With wheat 90
cheap as 1t is now it is almost impossible
Tor many farmers to make q lair profit
from this industry, although in favored
parts OF the West and Northwest the large
farmers claim that even at this price they
can make profit. But this is not true OF
thousands Of others scattered throughout
the East and West. Undoubtedly this sea-
son has been an exceptional one and prices
are lower than will be the case for many
years again.
But the present low prices for the grain
are having their beneficial results. Many
farmers are feeding their surplus wheat
to stock and to poultry, who at any other
| time could not have been induced to at
tempt this. They are learning by actual
experience what nothing else could have
taught them. As an illustration, one
farmer this summer fed his wheat to the
poultry, and he is 80 we'll pleased with
the experiment that he asserts that not 20
cents bushel would induce him to sell
it in the market another year. He would
feed it to his poultry, for by so doing he
realizes at the lowest estimate 81 per
bushel in the SKINNER time. He now in
tends to try the same experiment this
winter, and he anticipates making the
wheat pay him nearly " per bushel.
Another poultry-raiser has even deigned
to buy the wheat direct from his neigh
bors at the city market prices simply to
feed his poultry, and the results are 90
good that he is now laying in q stock OF
wheat for winter feeding instead OF his
usual rations. The fact in, there lie no
better food for making the hens lay tina n
wheat, and this may yet be the food that
We will give to our poultry. 1t also
answers the purpose better than the best
screened oats.
Then We have other farmers feeding
their wheat to swine, and here, too, the
results are satisfactory. Hogs are high
this year, and the profit is certainly sure
TO be good. 1t will return 81 per bushel
to the owner today when fed to hogs, and
this is much better than selling it in the
market at current prices. II is estimated
that two quarts OF wheat equals in feed
ing value four quarts Of oats, and the
stock, as a rule, like the wheat better
Now. there is an outlet for wheat that
has never been given much attention
and one need not fear that wheat-grow.
ers will have to 20 out of the business
Within short time poultry-raisers and
stock owners are going to buy more
wheat for feed, and all the surplus will
90 in this direction, relieving the mar
kets of the heavy stocks. The market
prices will consequently advance, and
those who must have the ready cash fol
their wheat will be benefited in the
long run also. Farmers should feed
wheat rather than sell it at today't
prices.

HOW TO FEED SHEEP.
A Wheat Dict Makes Good Mutton and
Fair Profits.
\. Craig In breeders Gazette.


John A. Craig In Breeders Gazette
Last winter visited Mr.. William Ogil-
vie, of Verona, who is one Of the largest
feeders OF stock in our state, and on his
farm saw some two thousand wethers
being fattened on grain ration consist
ing mostly OF wheat. Mr.. Ogilvie has
very kindly given me some notes from
his experience Of last year, and as it has
been but one years work in many with
him his observation and facts are very
valuable.
The sheep that were fed, though the
bestthat could be obtained, were Of COM
mon merit from the feeders standpoint
AS may be inferred the purchase oil such
a large number must necessarily include
variety OF Indifferent sheep.
The wheat that was fed was damaged
by bleaching, as it had been exposed to
Dakota winter. II it had been prop
erly cared for, Mr.. Ogilvie informs me,
it would have graded as No. l. 1t had
become wet, and as consequence it was
slightly musty. For about the first half
OF the fattening period, which lasted alto
gether about four and one-half months,
beginning November l, the sheep were
fed exclusively on wheat. OF this they
at first received one-qusrter of q pound.
During the second half OF the feeding
period the grain ration consisted OF q
mixture of corn, bran and oil-meal, about
equal parts, and the amount fed has been
estimated by Mr.. Ogilvie to be in the
proportion of one and seven-eighths
pound per 100 pounds of the live weight
OF the sheep. The average weight of the
grain ration he places at one and seven
eighths pounds for the whole period.
Clover hay was the only addition to this
ration. The reason given by Mr.. Ogi!-
vie for the substitution of corn for the
wheat is that the corn became the
cheaper.
In reference to the conduct of the
sheep, Mr.. Ogilvie says he never had
sheep do 80 we'll with him on the start.
There we're no deaths until the last hall
OF the feeding. when the corn WAS substi-
tuted for the wheat. He then lost ten
head and this he attributes to the feed
being too strong, although the sheep
were not fed more than they would thor
oughly clean from the troughs.
The sheep we're fed about four and
one-half months and during that time
the gain was thirty-six pounds, an aver.
age weekly gain of two pounds per
head. Charging the foods fed at marke
price, the cost OF gain is estimated by
Mr.. Ogilvie to have been 5000 per hun.
dred pounds, which does not include the
advance on the first weight. Considering
the increase in the value OF the original
weight he has estimated that the cos,
would not exceed FIVE cents per pound
He offset the manure by the labor OF car
ing for the sheep In addition to the
profit on the sheep, the homegrown

WOOL IN BOSTON.
Sales During the Past Week Show I'm
prOvement In Prices.

Sales During the Past Week Show I'm
prOvement In Prices.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter OF Bos-
ton says: There has been q large
amount OF wool sold the past week; in
fact there are four large territory houses
whose sales exceed 800 900 pounds an d
other houses whose sales show
very marked increase over pre-
vious weeks. The market is decidedly
stronger, but can scarcely be quoted as
higher, except, perhaps, for quarter
blood combing and the coarser pulled
woods, which have advanced fully a cent.
Fine medium territories are perhaps q
shade stronger in price for the best woods,
and washed combings and delaines are
remarkably strong.
The heaviest sales, as will be noted by
the appended table, consist OF Eastern
Oregon, fall Texas, and Wyoming and
Utah, although some good-sized lines Of
other territory woods and 1eeces have
been taken. In territory woods the de-
mand has run to fine medium
grade of good staple costing from So to 38
cents clean.
The reason for this increased demand
for wool can hardly be attributed to the
fact that manufacturers have received
more liberal orders for goods, for such
is not the case, although there is q
slightly better feeling in this direc-
ton and a somewhat improved demand
for spring goods. The real cause for
the demand is derived from the fact that
manufacturers recognize the cheapness
OF the staple, recognize that it will not
he cheaper, that it is a good purchase
today, good business risk, and having
idle money they are buying, for the most
part, on speculation and laying it away
in anticipation of future requirements.
Heavy sales Of Oregon wool also &C.
cured, but the business has all been
done by very few houses, and mostly
on clean basis OF 35c. California woods
had relatively quiet week, although fair
sized sales have occurred Of short woods
on secured basic of 34@35c. Territory
wools. such as Wyoming and Utah, have
again sold heavily, as has also good
amount Of fine and medium Montana.
The secured cost OF high Montana has
ranged as high as Acc, the range being 38
to 40c, while Utah fine medium of good
staple has cost $50. The sales include
29O, 900 lbs California, 10 to 15c; 1900
lbs California pulled, part on private
| terms.
