SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain Is Ripening
and His Stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of shooting,

There Is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort aud sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such n pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing OF
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where / saw a
man drop 10 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken Growing like barn
door fowls and little to the north
east is a bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the suipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
| column of blue smoke curling up in
| the distance shows you where few
| wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
q short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"a very short railway journey will
bring you to country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king OF
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulleo
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach
broken now and then by the weirc
banshee-cry of strange Waterfowl

HERE AND THERE.

The oil mills of Memphis, Tenn,
consumed 10000 tons of cotton seed
last year, making that city the largest
cotton seed crushing center in the
world.
Hogs should never sleep under the
corn crib, or under any building what
ever. Dust and parasites will abso-
lutely ruin their chances of future
usefulness.
The cow-pea is so valuable as
food crop for both man and beast, AMI
so wonderful in its effects as fer
tilizer, that we feel justified in calling
attention to it in season and out of
season.
There is some complaint that the
price of corn is too high to feed TO
pork hogs for market Well, that de.
ponds on where the hogs are. In the
southwest, where green feed can be
had all the year round, it doesn't
make much difference.
The rice trust, organized for con-
trolling the rice crop of the south
west, seems to have crawledi into an oil
well and pulled the well in after it.
At least no one knows what has be-
come of il. 1t is possible that it was
all water and that it evaporated.
Vicious sheep should not be per-
mitted TO run at large, as they are
liable to destroy many valuable cur
dogs; and even children are liable 10
be bitten by lambs, while on their
way to school. A stringent sheep law
is required by the cxigencies of the
case.
Hens are great creatures for
grass and fresh vegetables; they seem
to never tire of the former, especial
| ly in the spring OF the year when it
is young and tender. 1t seems to be q.
necessity with them, if best results
in the way of laying arc to be OBJ
tanned.
Farm horses should go barefooted
until there is necessity for shoeing
to preserve the hoof. Like farm boys,
they should wear no shoes except on
special occasions, until they are about
fourteen years old. Many horses can
serve lifetime on the farm without
being shod.
| Animals are machines like mills,
designed to convert raw material into
marketable products. Put nothing in,
and you get nothing out. Feed liber-
ally and wisely, and the animals will
grind out milk, meat or eggs( accord
ing as the animal has four legs or
two) in quantities that will make the
feeder glad.
One of the chief objects in teach
ing agriculture in the public schools
is to impress the young with the fact
that successful farming does not con-
sist entirely of hard labor, but that
thought and acquired knowledge can
be made to replace much Of the
drudgery of farm life with something
more satisfactory.

May Call Election.

The valuation placed on prop
erty of school district No. 9 is
$48, 500 less than the valuation
placed on the same property last
year. AS a result the school
board of this district finds that it
is somewhat embarrassed for
want of funds. On the 28th of
last June the board saw fit to
place an insurance on the school
house and its fixtures. The cost
of the policy for period of three
years, beginning June 28th, 1901
was $3.50, and the board issued
warrants for the sum required.
No provision was made for pay
ment and the warrants are still
outstanding. The difference in
the property valuation cuts a
vast figure in the revenues of the
school and the board is consider
ing the matter of calling a dis
trict election for the purpose of
rating special tax, in order that
something may be done toward
meeting this expense incurred
on account of insuring the school
property. In case they SO decide,
the election must be held in jan
ua1y in order that the amount of
the-levv may be in the County
Clerks hands by February 1st,
SO that he may extend the tax
roll. This was one of the prob
lems that absorbed the attention
of the board at its meeting last
Saturday evening.
At this neeting the bids for
the contract for furnishing wood
for the use Of this district next
year were considered. There
were seven bids in all. The bid
of J. w. Ing1e to furnish 20
cords of oak wood at $3.50 per
cord, delivered, was accepted.
In the matter OF fir wood the
beard has not yet decided what
to do, as the bids were of such a
character that some consideration
was necessary to determine what
was best. However, within a
very short time this matter will
be decided.

SChuberts hot Strangers.

TIE Schubert Symphony Club,
booked to appear at the Opera
House N this city on the evening
Of December 28th, will not make
their initial bow here on that occa-
sion. Their first performance in
Corvallis few years ago gave en-
tire satisfaction, and if we are to
believe the press reports of the
present season, the Schuberts are
stronger than ever.
In a column write-up devoted tc
a performance given in that city,
the Anaconda Standard of Deem
Der 5th, 1901, says:
The Schuberts have won name
and fame during the years they
have toured the country and the
people of Anaconda this year ex-
pected much of them. However
much they expected, they got it in
fullest measure, for the splendid
musicians who comprise the Schu-
bert organization fairly outdid
themselves. Every number on
last nights program was a gem.
Carefully the selections had been
made and the artists to whom they
had been assigned carried them out
magnifcently.
One noteworthy feature about
the Schubert concert was that the
music was of the more tuneful kind.
No attempt was made to go into the
high flights of composers whose
music doubtless is grand, but is
little understood by the majority of
the people. The Schuberts held to
the pleasing melodies that the
people like and at all times refrain
ed from reaching over the heads OF
their audience.
