The Science Of Growing Wool.

Raising wool is one thing. 1t
is science. Treating wool after
1t is grown is another science.
Manufacturing it into cloth is
still another science. As the
loom is the objective point of the
two other wool sciences it is bust
ness sense to study the needs of
the factory, says the National
Provisioner.
The manufacturer of wooden
desires fibre for lustre and even
telling. When the farmer grows
a good wool and then ruins it
with some crude dip for curing
scab or some other sheep disease,
he more than often produces a
fleece that comes up harsh and
feeble, is expensive to scour and
generally defeats the purpose for
which it is grown. Cap woods are
becoming Objectionable for this
reason. The same objections were
raised 20 American woods some
few years ago.
The farmer may soon learn that
soil, climate and grass also effect
the fleeces Of his flock and better
the product by that knowledge
When the science of growing
woods in this country, as seer
through the spectacles of the
manufacturer, is learned by our
farmers, the industry may be-
come more proitabie.

Cheaper to Feed.

Tom Morrison prominent cat
tleman of this section, whose
ranch and cattle interests are To-
Gated out in the Iatan country
says he was uneasy for u time
over the winter prospects, but
the rains have put his range in
good shape and he is now salts
fled his cattle will make it through
the winter in good shape. While
the weather was dry and the out
look far from pleasing, he did a
little figuring that may be of adj
vantage to those who have to
provide their cattle with feed or
new pasturage this winter. He
says that he has found that cattle
can be fed on oil cake on the
range cheaper than they can be
moved and pastured. According
to his figures one pound of oil
cake per day will keep COW
through the winter with the
roughness that she will be able to
rustic in the pasture. This cake
costs about 1c per pound deliver
ed, and he figures that 1c per day
per head will feed grown cattle,
and half that amount will carry
young cattle. Pasturage will
average Doc per month per head,
and Mr.. Morrison figures out that
through the use of oil cake the
cattle can be kept at home and
the expense of moving absolutely
saved. He bases his figures, he
says, upon his experience is feed
ing cattle last winter.

SECRETARY Of WAR RESIGNS
ROOT GOES TO LONDON TO SIT
ON ALASKA COMMISSION.
1t Is Expected Gov. Taft Will Be Of.
fered the Cabinet Position-Wash.
ington Life Does Not Appeal to
Members Of His FamiIy-He Wants
Other Work.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Before Sec.
rotary Root shall sail for London to sit
with the Alaskan commission, he will
place his resignation IN the hands of
president Roosevelt in order that the
president may appoint secretary of
war if it shall be deemed necessary
during Mr.. Root absehce.
1t Is expected, however, that the
resignation will not be acted upon un-
til after congress shall meet. The ap-
pointment Of Secretary Roots success
sor will depend somewhat upon the
length Of time Secretary Root will be
engaged on the Alaskan boundary
commission.
1t has been known for some time
that Secretary Root intended to retire.
but he did not wish to leave the de-
partment until the general staff bill
was in operation and other matters
pertaining to his Office were well un-
der way. 1t is understood that the
matter Of his successor has been dis
cussed and while nothing official can
be obtained, it is believed it will be
rendered to Governor Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London
he will remain in communication with
the department and matters pertaining
to the general staff and other import
ant affairs will be referred to him. If
the sittings of the Alaskan commission
extend beyond December I, it is likely
that the SeCretarV'S resi- pnation will no
accepted and his successor appointed
at that time.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. Members of his family do
not like the life in Washington. and
the secretary also desires to return to
his law practice in New York.

Montana Mines.

The notable event of the week in
mining circles is the bonding Of the
noted Jay Gould mines by the Stand

Gould is in the Canyon Creek range,
20 miles north of Helena, and was
worked for years, more than 81, 900 900

Idaho State Mine Inspector Bell
makes an interesting statement con!
corning the Minnie Moore mine at
Bellevue, silver-lead property that
was famous in the early days Of that
district. The company abandoned the
mine after it had made a large pro-
duction, the vein being lost. Mr.. Bell
says the new management has ex-
posed million and a half in the mine,
and the work shows the old company
fhad undercut the ore body without
knowing where it was.
The total receipts at the United
States assay Office in Helena for July
were $214,152, as compared with $217,-
