and Clark exposition will be a good
one" is the way NJ. d. Wisdom, su-
perintendent of livestock for the
Western Worlds Fair explains the
situation with regard to his depart
ment. 1T will be the biggest show
ever held in the west" Mr. Wisdom
adds, "and will compare favorably
with the other big shows of the kind
which have been held in connection
with expositions."
The stock show dates are from Sep
tember 10 to 29, inclusive. In the
neighborhood of $4,000 in prize
money is now available as an incent-
i've to stockmen to attend the show
and exhibit their stock at the exposi-
tion, but this, according TO Mr.. Wis
dom. is not responsible for the very
unusual interest which breeders and
dealers all over the United States
have taken in IT, The big dealers are
going to exhibit at Portland because
they believe that the stock business
in the Pacific northwest has a great
future, and that no better opportu-
nifty than the Lewis and Clerk expo
sition could be found for introducing
their breeds to the western market
Several firms are making arrange
ments TO open branch houses in the
Pacific northwest, and already one.
Mclaughlin Brothers, of Kansas City,
Mo, and Columbus. o., has decided to
establish "a branch in Portland.
Mclaughlin Brothers have written
Mr.. Wisdom that the showing of
horses which they will make will he
the finest ever made by any firm
anywhere. They have purchased so
/ head of French Percherons and coach
| horses from the continental prize
winners and these are now en- route.
These horses have never been ex-
hibited before. They will be exhibit
ed at the International Stock Show in
Chicago and the American Royal
| Stock Show at Kansas City before
being brought on to Portland. ].
Crouch & Sons, of Lafayette. Ind,
will enter so horses to compete with
those of Mclaughlin Brothers.
Galbreth Brothers, of GAINESVILLE,
| Wis, have on the way an importation
of 80 head of Clydesdale and Suffolk
Punch horses, never before exhibited,
and A. c. Ruby & Co.. of Pendleton,
Or. have imported a lot for exhibit

Robbed of Another Mans Money.

A day or so ago Ed McGrew went
to Payette with a fine team belonging
to Pete Roberts, which he took there
to be sold and which he sold at a
good figure. While waiting for the
night train at the depot he became
sleepy and took short nap while
sitting in the seat. When he awoke
he was dumfounded to discover he
had been robbed of the neat sum of
sSO5. He gave the alarm, but having
no clew to work on he decided to
come on home. These are the facts
as given to the Signal, and we under
stand there is yet no clew to the rob-
bers.--Weiser News.

strictly observed of all the feast days
OF the New Mexicans, has political
and patriotic as well as religious
significance, and a very interesting
story is attached, says w. e. Curtis
i'm the Denver Post.
Marcos de Mia. Franciscan friar
explored this country in 1888 and
went to Zuni. In 1540 Coronado led
his great expedition as far as the Mis-
souri, river and occupied the country
Santa Fe was then an Indian pueblo
called Tequayo, and in 1897 it was
occupied by the Spaniards as a seat
OF government under Juan de Onata
In 1900 Pedro de Paralta became
the first governor. Everything went
on well until 1880, when the patient
and peaceful Pueblos, exasperated
by the cruelty of the Spaniards
arose in a successful rebellion under
the leadership of an Italian named Ri
va.
Juan Diego of Taos. another In
dians, was made governor. The In
dian had been made slave. He had
been driven from his home into the
mines and corNSelled to do labor that
killed him in a few years. The Span
iards invaded his home, debauche1
his family and robbed him IF every
thing he possessed as well as his lib
erty.
This was done by permission of the
Spanish throne. When the revolutio
did occur 1t was terrible. Thousands
of men. women and children were
massacred. Churches and converts
were burned down; the holy vessels
the vestments beling to the church,
and the records destroyed, and the In
dians tried to obliterate every trace of
Spanish rule and religion. Even the
children who had been baptized were
taken to the river and thoroughly
washed, in order to remove all traces
of contamination.

The Benefits Are Explained
BY c. A. Saunders, Manila, Iowa.

shows were the best places for that pur-
pose. | took one of my first calves to the
Shelby county fair n showed in the ring
with stock shown by Iowa. most promi-
nent breeder, Uncle Tommy Westrope,
who was personally known by every
breeder in the United States and Canada.
Ny calf was. the judge thought, the best,
and was awarded first place. Well, all the
farmers and breeders 10 Shelby county
soon knew there was one calf in the coun-
ty that was just as good as the best from
the Westrope herd, and that fact alone
was one of the greatest benefits | ever de-
rived from showing my stock.
After that j had courage to meet other
breeders, and since then j have exhibited
stock at the Chicago international, Iowa
state fair and Interstate fair in Sioux City,
always winning some prizes in every class
in which my stock was entered (either in
beef or breeding c~lass), from seventh prize
TO sweepstakes. The prize money come
mandy: 1t usually pays expenses, but il is
the smallest item to be considered. More
people have seen my cattle in one. day at
the fairs than would have seen them in a
year at the Greeley stock fair. / have be-
come personally acquainted with many OF
our prominent breeders who want the best
animals of the breed that can be secured.
Besides, have had inquiries from people
in almost every state I'm the union who
would never have known that such a man
as yours truly' was in existence. let
alone knowing anything about my cattle,
if ! had not put them up to compete with
the best at the leading fairs on earth.
or course, as | said before. the news
paper AVE done their share In the sue
cess attending the showing OF stock of all,
kinds by the liberal Use of free printers
INK From a cash basis in prize money, |
do not think | would advise anyone to fit
his stock for exhibition. but for the benefit
to be derived from that source. 1t cannot
be estimated by dollars and cents. but IT
makes the mar who HAS inferior cattle
long to W something better, while the
man who owns good stock decides for the
best. and the man who has the best will
now have to look well to his herd. or
some other fellow will soon be in the lead.
Competition compels the breeders TO better
their herds by careful selection and breed
ing, trying to produce something better
than has been produced before.
I certainly am. a believer in the showing
of stock at fairs. If YOU herd is not good
enough TO go 70 the best state fairs or the
great shows. then begin with your county
fair, always keeping in mind that inn
provement of your herd should always be
sought after. After the county fair comes
the state fair, then the Royal, and then
the international. This is not reached in
one day, or one week, or one year, but
time and coed judgment on the part OF the
breeder will eventually land him at the
top.

Alfalfa On The Plains.
BY ]. z. PAYNE.

Oily the hoppers which grow on tie
prairie. By using hopper dozers the
number OF grasshoppers may be kept
down without damaging the crop.
These machines can be used only i'm
fields where the plants are but "a few
inches high. Poisoning by using arr
senic I'm bran or other substance which
Is relished by the hoppers is often sue
c~essfnlly used.
The most profitable method I have
ever seen employed lis the poultry rem
edy. Some people keep SO many chick
ems and turkeys that the g~rasshoppers
are held in check by them. In August
1901. ! visited the orchard OF "A. f. Ia
Dor, who lives ten miles southeast or
Wray in Yuma county. and found
many trees entirely stripped of bark
and leaves by the grasshoppers. j yis~
tied the same place In 1908 and found
the trees n garden in good cordition.
He told me that the presence OF about
400 chickens and turkeys were .respon-
sible for the good condition OF the trees
and also for the scarcity OF g~rasShop-
pers which / noted. Il. ID. Prentice and
Rufus Roberts. living near Laird, both
gave testimony which conceded with
what / observed at the home or Mr.. Ia
Dor. Dozens OF other cases OF the Same
kind could be cited showing the same
results. The main difficulty In work
ing the poultry remedy is that the coy
otes must be kept away from them.

water in considerable quantities from

Other very important questions that
confront the cattle feeder are: Will 1T
pay 10 shell or grind corn for fattening
steers2 VIII cornmeal or corn and
cob meal give best results? Has silage
a place in fattening the ~2-year-old or
older feeding steer? Is the old method
OF feeding shock corn, with hogs fol-
lowing, a wasteful one?
Results in fattening ten different lots,
including in all 100 steers. at the Illi-
onis experiment station last winter,
Will throw some light on these ques-
tons. Each lot was followed by a
sufficient number of pigs TO consum

steers. This suggests that the same
number of hogs would not be required
behind each lot. For example, ii did
not require much over half the num-
Der of pigs behind the meal fed steers

shown that the feeding of oil meal. cot

creases the capacity of the steer for
handling economically large quantities
of Concentrates. While the average
daily ration per steer of ear corn and
oil meal in one lot was 23.03 pounds, 1t
was only 21.12 pounds ear corn where
no oil meal was fed. In other words,
a steer Will consume abou as much
corn where he gets 8 pounds of oil meal

TINS paper was read at the Sioux City
meeting OF the Central Shorthorn Breed
%Fs association by G.. A. Saunders of Ma
Mia. Ia, a successful breeder.l
The subject, Benefit Of Exhibiting at
Fairs" is one that l nave always been
personally interested in, and one, / may
add. that | am a great believer in. To me
ii has not only been a source OF profit,
but IL has been "a great pleasure as well.
1T has furnished me with an inclination TO
have something better; in fact. 1t has
caused me 10 want the best. j have there
fore benefited two ways-one in raising
the standard of my herd and in getting IN
touch with people who attend the fairs
and shows. and the other with the profit
tina comes as a natural result.
| Will try and explain where | think one
derives benefit from exhibiting stock at
the national shows and fairs. In the first
place. there is no other way by which SO
many people will be able to see your
stock. or no other way by which so many
newspapers will mention il. as by putting
1t in the show ring. Every one, either in
live stock or other business, knows the
importance OF newspaper advertising. Ex-
hibiting live stock at the fairs and shows
Is the only possible way of getting adver-
Using through this medium for nothing.
and that fact of itself is a great benefit
TO the stock breeders of the present day.
| would like tc tell of my experience in
the show business several years ago. |
made horse breeding a profession and
bought Il fine Percheron stallion, "Lerida.'
As an inducement to my patrons / offered
four cash prizes on get of said stallion
the first three years i owned him-S5 to
the man that raised the best. $50 to the
man that had the second best, $25 to the
man that had the third best, and $50 to the
man that had the poorest. This method
brought them all out and / soon found
that this little show was of considerable
benefit in my own neighborhood and was
looked forward TO as quite an event and
WAS called the Saunders Colt Show
So | exhibited my stock at four county
fairs for four years in succession. Away
stakes with the stallion until the fair as
sociations barred him from further exhi-
bition. Even though the cash prizes were
not large, | made expenses, put my horses
before the public and induced many 9TH
ers to invest I'm good stock. i certainly re-
ceived some benefit from showing my
stock. Besides, j think our county, and
the adjoining county, received a great deal
of benefit. as Shelby county was known
for years by the horse buyers as a place
to secure good draft horses.
It has has always been one of my the
cries to get out and see liz the other fellow
has anything better than | have. So when
i began breeding Shorthorn cattle | was
anxious to see for myself and let others
see my cattle. Knowing that the fairs ana
