Stock raising is and has been one
OF the chief, if not the chiefest, OF
the industries or Washington county
since the early sixties.
The natural resources or this sec
tion Of the country, included between
the Rocky mountains and the coast
range, are particularly adapted to
this line of business.
Although Idaho is so far north, the
winters, in the valleys of this county
are usually short and mild, conse-
quenty there are few losses of stock
by cold and snow There are thous-
ands OF acres Of fine grazing land,
besides miles and miles of grassy
hills and mountains, all of which are
plentifully supplied with water from
rivers, creeks and countless springs
Also there is generous supply of
SALT ticks.
Horses and cattle can live upon
the range the year round though
stockmen calculate to feed from two
to four months
Alfalfa hay is raised easily and in
great abundance as though it were in
its native soil, and is sold from So to
to VI per to ton The yields are not
only large but can be depended on.
The market for all kinds Of live
stock is most excellent
A few thousand horses roam among
the hills and mountains of this
county.
A few years ago, owing to the BIZ
cycle and electricity, horses took a
great fall in value.
For several years range horses
were not worth looking after, to say
nothing about feeding them except,
perhaps, the very largest and best.
But during the last year they have
been more in demand. Goud, well
broken teams sell from $50 to 500.
Extra large, well broken horses sell
for the same figure per head. SO
the future prospects are more encour.
aging for those owning bands of
horses.
The number of horses found upon
the assessors list is 4, 600 for last
year.
Hogs.
According TO last years tax list
the number of hogs in this county
was B, $50. Quite an extensive in
dustryl
There need not be very much ex
pense attached to it as the hogs may
be driven in large droves to the
mountains for the summer to live
and grow upon camas. In the fall
they can be driven down and shipped
east to be fattened, wherever there is
a surplus of corn.
However, portion of them are
raised at home on alfalfa during the
summer. In the fall they are finish.

Beeves sell for $40 and $50 per

There are two crpalneries in the
county now Therefore it may he
supposed that henceforth the COW
will be more valuable than ever to
her owner, for many stock COWS
might become pretty good dairy
cows. 1t is claimed that dairy COWS
produce from $50 TO 500 worth of
butter per annum, which could hardly
be possible if the price of butter
were not so high the year round
Ranchers butter sells from 20 to
20 cents per pound Creamery but
ter sells for % cents and over, sum

1t is to be feared that mos, people
fail to appreciate the COW aside from
her market value. Suppose we had
to eliminate her products, either dead
or alive, from our every day bill of
fare. Could we realize what the re-
suit would be?
Sheep.

high figures There are many large

back towards the lower valleys, where
they are fed from two to four months

One shepherd can take care of a
flock during the summer. In the

Hitherto it has been the popular
belief that for the amount of capital

other stock But under the present
