For Wood Preserving.

"In time of peace prepare for war"
has often proved valuable sugges.
ton to the nations of the earth, and
a hint to the farmers of the North.
west, suggesting how the tedious
hours of enforced idleness during the
winter season can be employed in
money-saving way, may prove equally
valuable to them.
These hours cannot be used to bet.
ter purpose than in arresting the de-
terioration of fence posts, hop poles,
outbuildings, stills, agricultural imple.
ments, and other articles and struc-
lures partly or wholly of wood and
subject to rapid climatic decay.
That this can be done by proper ap-
plication of the scientific and infal-
libie German wood preservative, Ave
narius Carbolineum, has been amply
proved by governments who use it for
treating bridges, barracks and trans,
ports; by cities who use it for string
ers, trestles and paving blocks; by
railroads who use it for ties and tele-
graph poles; by hopgrowers who use
it for poles, and by hundreds of farm
ers who have used it for preserving
ranch untensils and structures re-
ferred to.
All admit that Avenarius Carlo
lineum accomplishes everything that
is claimed for it; but great care
should be taken to secure the genuine
article, as all limitations have proved
utterly worthless. Write to the Car
bolineum Wood Preserving Company
at Portland, Or, for prices, mention

roads are forced around and over
grades not easily travelled, while
such a law would give enough pro-
lection to the land owner that he
could afford to permit the private
roadway through his property.
1t seems to me that these three
laws suggested for enactment by the
next legislature are necessary and
proper and that this association can
well afford to urge the same in every
way as individuals and as body.
If we expect to exist as body we
must do something to entitle us to
continue to exist. Men are not COM
ing to Spokane from various parts of
this state just for the uprpose of
listening to papers on live stock sub
jects, and meeting persons engaged
in this industry, however pleasant
that may be, unless we take hold of
the duties that confront us and &C
complish results that are beneficial to
the members.
Organization in this day and age
is the almost universal rule of bust
ness. From the Community of Int
erests" agreements of railroads and
the steel and Standard oil trusts
down through the lesser branches of
industry including the business men
and the artisans, everything is organ
lied. Even the hand organ grinders
have an organization according to
recent newspaper reports, but the
live stock growers, for some unex-
plainable reason, have failed to per-
feet any helpful organization as the
mo hid of "a hIJci NJ "a
intelligence of it's votaries lead one
to expect. Some state and county
organizations are greatly beneficial to
the members and to the industry.
The National Live Stock Association
and National Wool Growers Associa-
tion are accomplishing good work
along legislative and educational lines
but they cannot secure the results aim
ed at unless the local and state organi
cations throughout the country are
active and take hold of work pre-
sented with a will and energy.
With the demoralized condition of
our beef market where the producer
is getting such ridiculously low
prices that he cannot afford to re-
main in business, while the consumer
is paying such top prices that the
consumption of meat is curtailed,
with the forest reserves occupying
such a large portion of the summer
ranges within this and adjoining
states, and with the various other
questions of personal and public in
terests to be settled, there is plenty
of work to be done in this state that
will justify our existence as state
organization.

down to some extent. But to think |
of western Washington once getting
infested with coyotes is something |
appalling.
No time should be lost in starting
this war of determination. 1t will
cost a few thousand dollars during
the first few years, but the game is
certainly worth the powder.
Montana has for years had a
bounty of SIS, but reduced it two years
ago to So per head. Agitation is be-
ing made to put the bounty back to
SIS again. The rule in most countries
is to start with low bounty and as
the wild animal pest nears EXTERN
nation and becomes more difficult to
catch, to raise the bounty and effect
a total determination if possible.
1t would seem that bounty of 81
per head on coyotes, wild cats and
lynx, and SIS on cougar and mountain
lion would answer the purpose for
time.
Bears and other wild animals are
hunted for sport and profit, and no
bounty on them is necessary.
3rd: Providing punishment for
fence breaking and leaving gates
open.
During the past few years a great
amount of land in this state has been
put under fence as the only hope of
bringing back to a state of product
iveness and value lot of over
grazed and practically worthless
land These lands have been bought
from the N. P. Ry. Co., and leased
from the state and fenced at great
expense.
The result is that the public range
has been reduced in area. 1t is a
fact that the great majority of our
citizens are law abiding and respect
the property rights of others and
only in rare instances do we find that
human coyotes with envy and malice
in their hearts, sneak around and
cut the wire and open gates.
The burglar, who enters your house
at night takes some chances on his
life and possesses some courage.
He is after some personal benefit to
himself, though it may not be very
great, and is an honorable man com
pared to the scrub who sneaks around
and destroys your pasture fence.
While his act of vandalism does not
benefit him. the stock that StrayS out
side, especially if it is beef approach
ing a market condition, either becomes
lost or is stolen, or else gets into lanes
and loses flesh so that it is not profit
able for the winter feed yard. 1t is
easy for such losses to run into many
hundreds of dollars.
While the fence cutting miscreant
is not numerous quantity and has
every opportunity to escape detec
ton, yet when one is landed in jail
there should be a penalty awaiting
him that would be so severe as to
put him out of business for a long
time and be wholesome lesson to
any others of his kind.
AS to leaving gates open, either
carelessly or wilfully, the results are
as bad as the act of cutting
the fences. While small fine,
in the discretion of the judge,
should be the minimum to cover a
case of mere carelessness without
criminal intent there should be a max
imum penalty of Imprisonment in the
penitentiary to reach an offender who
might deserve such a punishment.
Persons having gates would see to
it that notices reciting the penalty
were posted and the very severity of
the penalty would aid in keeping the

End A state bounty on coyotes
and other wild animals.
The direct damages caused by coy
otes are much greater than any one
would suppose who has not given at
tention to the matter and the indi-
rect loss to the state is enormous.
The coyote pest is constantly in
creasing menace.
1t is safe to say that 80 per cent of
all the sheep losses in this state re-
suit from coyotes and lambing ex-
penses are quadrupled on that &C
count. While these losses alone must
run up into hundreds of thousands
of dollars, the amount is small COM
pared to the damage done to farmers
scattered all over the country. The
stealthy coyote reaches the most
thickly settled rural districts and
lives on the fat of the land. Chick
ems suffer most, but pigs and calves,
melon patches and fruit all contrib
ute to. his support.
Were it not for this pest, nearly
every farmer would have few sheep
to keep down weeds, especially on
the summer fallow in sections where
wild oats are a nuisance, thus furn-
ishing the most convenient fresh
meat during hot weather and harv-
est time and supplying in the aggre-
gate a large quantity of mutton to
local butchers. The returns from
this source would be more than vel
vet for the lands would be cleaned
of weeds and benefit the wheat crops
of the state.
1t is often urged that our people
do not diversity their farming
enough, that it is a shame for this
state with it's matchless opportuni-
ties to be shipping in from Iowa and
other eastern states eggs and poul'
try in carload lots and thus sending
out money that should be kept at
home.
Right here is the cause for that.
Eternal vigilance is the price of rails
ing a flock of chickens. 1t is the rule
and not the exception for the farm
er's wife to raise lot of chickens say
so to 500, and for coyotes to get most
of them before Christmas time. Who
pays for this? Note the price of eggs in
the markets throughout the state at
this time, and the 35 to 40c a dozen
answers this question.
In the newly settled districts when
the pioneers are denying themselves
all the luxuries and many of the COM
forts of life, in order to hold down
their homesteads for year or two
until the land is gotten into cultiva-
ton and begins to yield something,
in most cases the only revenue pro
Queer is the hen, and the hard work
ing, self denying women who under
go these privations to lay fOunda-
ton for a home are entitled to our
best efforts to eradicate this pest
that robs them of the fruits of their
labors.
But it may be urged that the coy
ote pest is an eastern Washington
proposition, and that the cost of it's
determination should not be borne
by western Washington tax payers.
Do not the cities of Puget Sound
point with pride to the wheat fields,
the orchards, and the live stock in
terests of eastern Washington, as a
part of the resources going to make
up their wealth?
Until recent years little punches
of sheep were practically safe all
over western Washington, but not so
now. The coyotes follow our east
ern Washington sheep up to their
summer ranges on the summit of the

A Manchurian Razorback.

A razorback pig that strayed in be-
tween the Russian and Japanese lines
at Mukden succeeded in putting a
temporary stop to war in that Sec
ton. The pig was chased first by
Cossacks and then by Japs, but it
kept in the middle of the space be-
tween the two armies.
Not a shot was fired all this time
and the Japanese and Cossacks stood
within hundred PAGES of each 9th
er in the open, laughing at each 9th
er's nonsuccess and hurting mutual
maledictions at the pig. There has
been lots of pig headedness in the
starting and conduct Of the war. Mel
Their commanding general would hav
been willing to cease hostilities, but

these men forget for a few moments
the grim business of warfare and
turned them into boys at play.
