FORCED OUT OF
PRESIDENCY

Loree, the highest salaried railroad
president in the world, has just been
forced out of the presidency of the
Rock Island after holding the posi-
ton less than a year, because the
chief owners don't like his policies.
About Jan. l last, Loree was in
duced to leave the presidency of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad by the
payment of a cash bonus Of 100000
and a five year contract insuring
him an annual salary Of $4,000.
This contract, so liberal in it's terms
as to be almost beyond credit, pro-
vided that in the event of his leaving
the service of the Rock Island his
salary should continue during the
life of the contract, and that in the
event of his death his widow should
continue to receive it.

cept cottonseed oil meal-with four
times the quantity of corn meal and
bran in equal parts added; and good
grass pasture. Feed the ram as WELL
and let him run with the ewes, mark
ing him on the brisket, SO as to de-
tect the ewes he may have mated with;
and as they are mated, remove them
to another pasture; increasing their
grain ration a little; and keep a weth-
er in this pasture with them. A close
daily watch should be kept on these
ewes, and if it is perceived to be neces
sary by the conduct of the wether,
they should be turned back to the
breeding flock again.
These notes are made from personal
experience with a flock of mixed ewes,
all, however, of very good quality, and
having Shropshire blood in them, and
pure Shropshire rams. The ewes
from this were, in a very few years,
brought to mate in time to bring lambs
in time for the Easter market, and
there was a gradual fastening of the
breeding time, so that the lambs sold
by the pound gradually came to bring
SIS each instead of $40 at the start.
And there was no dollhouse business in
it, either, the only extra care given
was clean, warm, airy housing at
nights, as soon as the weather became
cold; and in the daytime well shell
tered shed, when this was desirable.
Quite often the lambs would begin to
eat in the creeps provided, a little of
the mixed grain food kept in the shall
low fiat troughs which were provided
for them. This was made Of corn,
oats and bran, equally mixed, and
ground very finely, along with-at first
"a mere busting of cottonseed meal.
The ewes got a pint day of the same
feed.

More Grazing in Reserves.

When the sheep and cattle grazing
privileges on the forest reserves were
appOrtiOned last winter among the va
riOus stock men, d. B. Shelter, United
States forest superintendent for the
northwestern district, including Wash
ington, and good part of Oregon, Ida
no and Montana, found that the de-
mands of the stocllmen were increas-
ing and that there were many thous-
and head more demanding grazing
room than for which land could be
provided.
Mr.. Shelter has decided to make a
erly portions Of the state on the Cas-
cade range, extending from the north
careful investigation of the Washing
ton reserve, which is the most north
erly limits of the Rainier reserve
north to the British Columbia line,
with the view of ascertaining how
many of the surplus cattle and sheep
could be pastured there. This exam
ination will be made as soon as the
superintendent disposes of routine
business now demanding attention,
and if the condition of the reserve
warrants, a considerable number of
cattle and sheep will be apportioned
to this reserve next season.

The sheepmen and Organization.

The western range cattlemen have
succeeded in perfecting general work
ing organization at Denver known as
the Cattle Growers Interstate EXecu-
tive Committee. This committee is
composed Of three representatives Of
the organized cattlemen of each state
and there are indications that the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association,
which is becoming a very strong or
ganization in Iowa and Missouri, will
cooperate with the committee in its
efforts to secure some practical re-
suits in the railroad transportation
problems in the way Of better service
and lower rates. This is a subject in
which the sheepmen are equally inter
ested with the cattlemen and they
should be stirring themselves to
strengthen their organization and get
in line for cooperation. Complaint has
been made that the sheepmen have
been weakening their efforts by scat
tering their efforts. They are trying,
in some sections to give financial sup
port to both the National Live Stock
Association and the National Wool
Growers Association The American

them to decide what they are going

through their own organization, the
