of the previous big business undertake
ings with which they have been con-
nected says the Yakima Herald. The
deal was made possible through de-
sire on the part of Mr.. BabcOck to
retire from the active management of
so extensive a business, and the de-
sire on the part of the Coffin brothers
to go into sheep raising more extern
sively than they ever had before. The
lands included are in Kittitas, Douglas
and Chelan counties, the range and
live stock headquarters being at Trini-
dad postoffice Coffin brothers will
hold the controlling interest, 1000 of
the 5000 shares, and are Offering 1,400
shares for sale, confident that good
profits will result for those who invest
with them.
The direct management of this in
vestment will be with the president,
H. Stanley Coffin, at North Yakima,
where the books and stock subscrip-
tons can be seen at all times by the
stockholders. Officers of the company
for the present draw no salary, as the
Coffin brothers will hold majority of
the 100000 stock, and are anxious to
make everything great success.
George Finn, of Prosser has been en-
gagged as the superintendent of the
land and live stock He has had TWEEN
ty years experience with cattle and
sheep, is economical and can be de-
pended upon to make everything count
for the best interests of the company
The charging of forest reserves and
the closing of the same in a measure
to live stock will make the running
of cattle and sheep on a large scale
impracticable to many 1t is expected

make money where less fortunate
stOckmen cannot, and that land as we'll
as sheep and cattle will steadily in
crease in value. Besides the $4,000
acres of decided land there is in the
fence $4,000 acres of leased land. This
is a very valuable addition to the com
pany's holdings.
The Landing range is the best in
the state, being protected by hills, the
sides OF which are covered with early
tender bunch grass and other smaller
grasses which produce a good supply
of milk in the ewes, insuring early
large lambs. The sheep are never
short of good feed, following the foot
hills on up to the highest mountain
ranges as the warm weather comes on.
1t will be the object of the manager
to use the outside government, state
and railroad lands as much as posi-
BILE, reserving the cOmpany'S fenced
range, allowing thick growth of
grass. In the fall the sheep are brought
down slowly from the range and on
good grass all the distance, and taken
back across the river to the fall and
winter range again. There is no other
sheep range where the summer and
winter range can be used, connecting
together as this does, most sheepmen
having to drive hundreds of miles over
dry and dusty roads to get to their
summer range, resulting in great in
jury to their f1ocks.
Tt is estimated that on all of the
cOmpany's land holdings there are over
50,000,000 feet of timber, stumpage of
which is now being sold to a saw mill
on the land at $500 per thousand,
which will show large profit
Throughout the timber and summer
range there are timothy and clover
meadows. The seeding of these lands
by the government experiment station
at no cost to the company is quite an
item.

BILE in narrowing, but will be likely
to have little milk for her pigs. The
management of sows prior to farrow-
ing should therefore aim to maintain
bodily vigor and all of the organs In
a normal and healthy condition. This
being the case, the mammary glands
will also be healthy and perform their
natural function perfectly.
Do not stuff the sow upon any fat
tening food prior to narrowing. Corn
is most apt to cause trouble, perhaps,
but any other food used in large guam
titles while exercise is restricted will
produce similar bad effects. The food
of the pregnant SOW should contain
sufficient succulence or laxative prin-
ciple to keep the bowels freely open.
Stops of middlings and f1axseed meal
are popular with swinebreeders as an
offset to the constipating effects OF
corn for pregnant sows, while others
prefer roots and some are experiment.

opinion should be to breed a milking
strain of sows and then feed ana
manage to enhance the hereditary
trait. Work in this direction will in
cidentally mean more pigs at a litter
and less trouble for the SOW at harrow
ing time.

turned in when the growth was rank
and permitted to gorge themselves,
causing bloat or other bad results.
This is an injudicious act and by pro-
per treatment could have been avoided.
The hogs go in very hungry for this
food and overeat and bring about the
trouble. All changes should be made
gradually until they become accus-
toned to it.
The breeder and shipper who is
good feeder and close cutler is the
one that has the best reputation and
gives satisfaction to his customers.
The well-grown and finely developed
pig is the one that satisfies the buyer.
Overlooking causes indigestion in

Hog Notes.

Don't ship your pigs in a crate of
old punks or fence boards of flimsy
material. There is danger of them
not carrying safely and the looks is
a bad advertisement. There is no
better advertisement than a neat crate
put up in businesslike manner. But
always be sure that there is a good pig
inside the crate.
An Oregon breeder writes that he
grows his hogs for the first six months
and then feeds them after he has
grown them and lays on the flesh. He
believes in this way that he gets a
stronger bone, better hog for breed
ing purposes and more profitable
one.
Farmers sometimes get the notion
that certain pastures are injurious to
pigs from the fact that they were

Horses Through Ice

Saturday forenoon the Skowhegan
bay horses that have been in use on their
delivery team during the past summer.
Webster & Savage, active member OF
the company, was driving them, at
tached to scraper, to clear the Ice
field where they cut their seasons crop,
when the ice broke and let both horses
into the water at point where the
depth must have been more than 25
feet. A man who was driving another
team IN the employ of the same COM
pany came to Mr. Savage's assistance at
once and the log crew of the Skowhe
gan Pulp Co. hurried to the scene. W
5. Gilman also saw the trouble from the
North Channel bridge and drove to the
spot as quickly as possible picking up a
crew of men on the way. First one
horse and then the other was rescued,
using the method best employed IN
such emergencies, which is to arrange
rope around the animals neck. turn
him on his side or back and then haul
him up over the edge of the ice which
will sink at the point where the horses
body comes against it just enough to
assist in the operation. It was chilly
bath for these two horses and they re
ceived a few minor cuts but were lot
permanently injured.
AS the weather was comparatively
warm Mr. savage had taken the pre-
caution to measure the ice at several
points over the field to be worked before
going on with the horses that morning
He found it to be from six to eight inches
in thickne So where tried and concluded
there would be no trouble. He had
driven over the place where the acct
dent happened several times before the
ice broke. He afterward measured it
at this point and found it to be but four
inches thick This thickness of ice will
usually hold pair of horses driven light
but is not considered safe to work on
and in this case proved insufficient.
