dition of the bowels when fed to driv-
ing horses.
For breeding cattle either clover or
alfalfa is very much better feedstuff.
Oats are an excellent feed for any kind
of animals and should always form a
part of the ration when not too eXpen-
sive Wheat when ground and mixed
with oats, bran or some other bulky
feedstuff gives good results Oilmeal
is a good adjunct to almost any ration,
especially while animals are on dry
feed. Corn, on account of it's relative
ly low price, should always form part
of the grain ration on an Iowa farm.
eff your subscriber must feed timo-
thy hay to his breeding cattle he should
feed a grain ration rich in protein and
ash. A ration composed of two parts
corn, two parts ground wheat, four
parts ground oats and one part oilmeal
should give good results. This will
furnish all the necessary constituents
and at the same time plenty of variety,
which will make the ration more palat-
able. Some corn fodder might be fed
in connection with the timothy hay for
sake of variety"

Trouble With Angora Goats.

The beginner In goat raising should
know that marshy lands are not very
good for goats. One raiser of these
animals wrote the Breeders Gazette
the following note regarding his goats:
81 have flock of Angora goats that is
badly out of condition. Last winter
they had not sufficient hair on them to
keep them warm and suffered severely.
They we're shorn twice the preceding
year. They coughed and from their
nostrils exuded yellow mucus After
ward they began to swell under the
lower jaw. When these swellings were
opened a clear water would exude
They died. When dissected there were
found to be nOdular swellingS of a
greenish hue on the intestines and
there seemed not to be a healthy organ
inside their wretched bodies. My land
is level and the season was wet"
Joseph e. Wing, the well-known
sheep breeder of Ohio, said: Doubt
less there was a sort of convention of
all known and unknown diseases in
those goats, intestinal parasites being
at the bottom of all the mischief. The
stomach worm, the nOdular disease and
| do not know what else came into &C
tive existence there. I would not at
tempt to run goats on soil that devel-
oped such condition of affairs. Valu-
able as the Angora undoubtedly is, it
is sure to cause hundreds to mourn
when they try to put them on wet rich
soils or to crowd them together in
warm weather. The Angora is child
of the desert; it will thrive in damp
ri hs1t nnn T1oI1ct 11p6Qrctan6 tho
management there or great havoc will
ensue. Treat them as you would sheep
subject to stomach worms; change
pastures, do not crowd them; give oc-
casional medication when they need it,
and do not get Angoras at all unless
you need them and are fitted by ex-
perience or thoughtfulness to give
them the right care"

A case af great interest was that OF
the government against the Oregon
sheep king, Charles Cunningham,
and some of his associates. They
were under indictment for attempt
ing to defraud the government out
of public lands and their trial was to
come off in Portland the other day.
When arraigned Cunningham and his
friends, with one exception, plead
guilty, and the judge imposed a fine
of $1,000 on the leader and 500 each
on four of his fellow-conspirators. This
ended case that promised to develop
into gdrawn-out legal battle. Cum
ningham had furnished the money to
secure the government land and those
who were indicted with him made
proofs upon the land selected but
which they never saw Cunningham
is one of the largest owners of sheep
in eastern Oregon and owns large
tracts of grazing land.

The department of agriculture gives
the number of sheep on hand January
1, 1904, at 51,630,144, or 12,334,732 less
than last year. If these figures are
correct, the wool clip for 1904 is bound
to be between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000
pounds less than last year. The total
wool production for 1903 was esti
mated at 245, $780, 900 pounds, not in
Guiding pulled or butchers wool. The
total wool production, including wool
pulled from skins, for 1903 was 2S7,-
100000 pounds. The above statistics
are sustained by reports issued by the
Wool Manufacturers association, and
on this basis we cannot see how the
wool clip for 1904 can reach 100000
900 pounds. Unless someone has made
a gigantic mistake our wool production
for the past two years will have fallen
off mighty close to 100,000,000 pounds
With this tremendous decline in our
domestic clip, coupled with a strong
wool market abroad and anything like
normal demand from manufacturers

Livestock Industry
Devons Wanted in South America.

Did all ranchers, who are in posi-
ton to raise more cattle than they do,
appreciate the fact that livestock bred
and raised on the Pacific coast are in
great demand in foreign countries,
there would be more such cattle rails
ed. Experience has shown that our
cattle. when sent to certain countries,
do better than those coming from the
eastern states and in consequence the
demand for our stock is great. The
following letter from L. V. McWhorter
& Sons. the Devon breeders of North
Yakima, shows that the possibilities
in the stock breeding line here are
immense and will continue to'increase
as our state becomes more thickly
settled and as the buyers in foreign
lands come to know our cattle bet
ter. Incidentally the Messrs Nc
Whorter show also what The Ranch
is capable of doing for those who use
it's advertising columns and keep their
names before our readers from jan
uary 1st to December 31st They say:
1--WE want to express our apprecia-
ton for the benefits derived from
our card carried in The Ranch. We
have many inquiries for our Devons
1TOul DdIDlcS WIN lClCl W JOoi P@PNA
as the source from whence they heard
of our cattle. We have more calls
for Devons than we can fill without
breaking in too strongly on our herd
We now have several young calves
and this fall will be able to supply
limited number to our customers. We
have a call for six Devon bulls, from
parties in Peru, South America, but
IL nl.n or ON
of Mexico and South America want
only Pacific coast bred animals, and
if we had the facilities for handling
them we would certainly increase our
herd to five times it's present s1ze
for the demand for Devons on the coast
and in the countries named is grow
ing so rapidly that we know from past
experience that the man who produces
Devons on this coast will necessarily
come out winner in the race. East
ern bred cattle do not do so we'll when
shipped to the countries named as
do our coast-bred cattle, consequently
coast cattle are being sought after"
This brief letter from l.. V. Nc
Whorter & Sons contains large hint
that the stock business, especially that
of raising bloOded stock, is by no
means in danger of being overdone.
Why more ranchers who have the
land and the location do not take up
such a business, instead of trying to
make a competency out of the single
crop system, is beyond our compre-
hension. We know some of the men
who have come out from the east this
year to locate in Washington will take
up the breeding of fine stock, but there
is room for some of the old timers
in the state to go into the same line
of industry.

Feed for Breeding Cattle.

A reader of the Breeders Gazette
wrote that journal as follows: care
timothy hay, wheat and oats ground
and oilmeal good ration for pure-bred
breeding cattle? If so, what part OF
each should be fed? Would it be bet
ter to use some corn?"
w. J. Kennedy, of the Iowa expert
ment station made the reply. He said:
Timothy hay is not considered to be
a desidable feed for any kind of cattle.
1t is deficient in protein and ASH thus
not properly balanced for young and
growing animals. For dairy COWS the
same criticism holds true. Aside from
the fact that it is deficient in some of
the necessary constituents, it lacks pa
liability, most important essential
in any feedstuff. Timothy hay is usual
ly high in price on account OF its ex-
tensive use for horse-feeding purposes.
In this respect it is valuable on &C
count of it's freedom from dust, also
because it does not cause loose con-
