MARBLE there is a small pore or opening
in the skin through which the grub
breathes.
Life History-The adult heel-fy or
warble-fy is little larger than the
common house-fy. In the latter part
of the summer she deposits her eggs
upon the hair of cattle in the region of
the heels. The presence of the flies
among cattle causes much annoyance.
The animal ticks the part and the lar
vac are taken into the mouth. From
the throat or gullet the small larvae
bore their way through the tissues un-
til they locate beneath the skin of the
back, where they increase in size quite
rapidly so that the Jumps are large
enough to be noticed by the latter part
of December or early in January. In
February or March these larvae or
grubs work their way out through the
small hole in the skin, fall to the
ground burrow into dirt or litter, pu-
pate. and some weeks later transform
into adult flies.
AS the adult flies do not travel far, a
cattle owner can free his herd pretty
well from these pests by treating them
at this season of the year. If other
cattle in the immediate vicinity are af-
fected, the adult flies will travel far
enough to infest neighboring cattle.
All cattle owners should unite to de-
stroy this pest.
Observation-Disclosures should begin
as soon as the MARBLES are noticed up
on the animals backs. Most of the
MARBLES or grubs can be destroyed by
putting turpentine, kerosene, crude Pc
troleum or mercurial ointment in or
on the opening through the skin direct
ly over the MARBLE. If the opening is
very small, it should be enlarged by us
ing a smooth, pointed stick. A machin-
lists oil can having a slender nozzle
furnishes an excellent method of Apply
ing the medicine. BY running the cat
tie through a chute they can be treated
quite rapidly They should be examin-
ed in about ten days, and any MARBLE
that escapes the first treatment should
be destroyed by second; or better,
squeezed out and crushed; or they can
be crushed beneath the skin by pinch
ing the lump, or killed by inserting a
pointed wire or large blunt-pointed nee
die. 1t is important that any grubs
squeezed out or escaping naturally
should be destroyed or they will trans
form into adult flies.

Breeding Size Out of Hogs.

At the present time the tendency
among farmers seems to be to breed
size out of hogs. On the other hand,
the scientific breeders are breeding size
in, but they have difficulty in offsetting
the tendencies of the unscientific breed
ers Breeders claim that the Poland
China of twenty-five years ago was a
much larger hog than the Poland-China
of the present time, taking the average
of all that breed now on farms. Some
claim that then they were too heavily
boned and coarse and were too slow in
maturing, says Farmers Review. "
So the refining process was begun and
has gone on till we have now a much
finer-boned and lighter animal. The
average hog today is doubtless too
small, and this points us to the good
work being done by our great breeders
of today. 1t is no surprise then, to see

MARBLES or Grubs in Cattle.

A recent report from the Kansas ag-

fly or heel-fy. They are noticed as lit

Combination Sales of Fine Cattle.


In another part of this paper an
nouncement is made of the forthcoming
sales of two hundred Shorthorn and
Hereford cattle at Spokane, Walla
Walla and Pendelton, Ore. The Spok-
ane sale occurs on March s, and those
who contribute the animals for this
event are w. o. Minor, Heppner; How
ell w. Peel, Spokane; j. l.. Smith,
Spokane; B. T. Byrns, Moscow, Ida; j.

occurs on March 10, and will have ami
mails from the herds of w. S. Goodman,
Freewater, Ore, and E. j. Conrad &
Son, La Grande, Ore. At Pendleton,
Ore, on March II there will be sold
los head consigned by G. B. Wade, N.
G. Maris and w. T. Rigby. These three
sales will afford an opportunity to Sc
cure some choice animals by those who
are anxious to have good strains Of
blood for building the foundation of
great herds. The animals in these sales
are all good ones and the men who con-
sign them are careful to place on sale
only those animals they can depend
on to perpetuate the regulations OF the
herds from which they come.
The Ranch spoke in its last issue of
the ten animals consigned by A. j..
Splawn, of North Yakima. Other
choice animals are consigned to the
Spokane sale by w. o. Minor, proprie-
tor of the Mountain Valley stock farm
at Heppner, Ore. Mr.. Minor writes
that he will send Chief IS Belle, Marvin
and Minority, three of the animals that
were in his show herd the past season.
Chief IS Belle should make great show

old Both dam and sire are among

Mr.. Minor is out after the top average
of these sales, and puts in good ami
mails. The other consignments are also
good. To find out just what animals
will be at the respective sales those in
terested should secure catalogs of eth

The Mayor adjusted his glasses,
and looking at the stranger for full

This somewhat angered the spec

"Dadn't buy it wild none OBJ your

Then there we're two people mad.
The Mayor says:
"Get up and pull off your hat and
take hold Of this book and l will

this Court and tell where you got

This seemed to sober up the young

century he went in and out among

during those long years allotted to
him there were scattered along his
pathway good deeds and kind words.
In days gone by, when prosperity
smiled upon him most abundantly,
he bestowed his gifts with lavish
hand, and after the loss by the war,
when a large part of his property
had been swept away, he continued
to help the poor and to do all in his
power to make bright the lives of
those about him.
All of his brothers are dead, and

Swedish Government VIII Kstablish
One Far North Of the Po-
Lar Circle.

A curious health resort is about to be
established in Lapland, way beyond the
polar circle, according to news received
from Stockholm, Sweden. The inten-
ton Of the government is to erect
sanitarium on the shores of LAX Q Torne
long and beautiful sheet Of water at
Wassijauve. the end Of the Ofote rail-
road. The latter, by the way, is In itself
curious institution In that In distance
OF 121 miles it boasts OF only one soli-
tary station. This Is not anywhere near
any human habitation, but right on the
line between Sweden and Norway. and
1t was erected only for the requirements
OF the customs Office.
The sanitarium would be an ideal one
for people with weak nerves who need
absolute rest. Aside from the small
settlement of Wassijauve the country is
absolutely void of any signs of human
existence, except for few Laplanders
who, with their herds Of reindeer. pass
through once in awhile.
Guests at the arctic sanitarium will
have for their only object of interest.
aside from the scenery, a scientific sta
ton which has been erected by the gov
eminent out OF funds subscribed pri-
Vately by scientists and laymen inter-
ested in the object Of the station. The
observations and investigations to be
conducted here will be various. In
summer biological. geological, botani-
cal, chronological and other researches
will be made. while at all seasons me-
neurological magnetic and other OBJ
seryations are to be made The sta
Ion is a solidly built blockhouse con-
aiming seven rooms. and it is proposed

year the vaudeville period terminated in
April, when comic opera was undertaken
and continued until the first week in Ju1v
~hen the plans for rehabilitating the thea
ter had to be put into effect. Altoeether
since last September the theater has been
open forty weeks. which is unusually long
even for theaters devoted to this form of
amusement. The omission of the comic
opera season and the extension of poIite
vaudeville to the present time was due 10
the 1act that there has been almost a sur
Ieit or attractions for the twice-a-day thea
ters. The annual work of renovating and
improving the theater will be undertaken
at al once under the supervision of George
thompson. who directs Chase's scenic and
stage departments. A force of mechanics.
art1sts decorators and others will be en-
ployed and the theater will be in readiness
at the usual time
