AGE OF KENpALL,s SPAWN CURE.

There is popularity about the adj
vertising of Kendalrs SPAWN Cure

ton the advertising is based on testi-
monials of users. Our readers, who
have been familiar with it in these col
character does not change. This is un-
doubtedly good policy in the DR.. B. j.
Kendall Company. 1t is their peculiar
good fortune to have an army of users
of this remedy who have not been with
out 1T for many years, and many OF them
have been using it to the exclusion of
all other methods to cure their horses
of wounds, lameness, etc. 1t is no I'M
common thing to read testimonials from
those who have uSeo K9ndalPS SPAWN
Cure for fifteen or twenty years. 1t has
been now about thirty years since the
remedy was compounded. 1t has been
the most popular remedy of the kind all
that time. 1t has attained a wonderful
popularity. There are calls for it
everywhere and we venture that there is
hardly drug store in the country where
it is not sold. 1t is remarkable that it
should have continued so universally
popular for so long a time. No other
not? Originally compounded by the
noted veterinary surgeon, DR.. B. j.
Kendall, and used by him in his prac-
tice in treating the above-named horse
fallible remedy. These ailments are
just as common now as they were in
DR.. KendalPS day. The remedy is the
same. 1t is still manufactured by the
company which bears the eminent vet
erinarian's name. For thirty years 1T
has been proving itself to be of highest
themselves of the record 1t has made in
their advertising. Every reader of this
paper who owns horse should procure
a copy of the free book entitled "A
Treatise on the Horse and His Dis
cases." Get it of your druggist or write
the DR.. B. J. Kendall Company for it,

to keeping the skin flexible, as well
as furnishing the necessary nourish-
ment for the hair to keep it soft and
glossy. 1t will not do, therefore, for
these pores to get clogged, for in that
case the skin soon would become dry,
rough, hard and diseased; nor is there
much danger of it except when the
horse is hard at work. Then the Sc
cretion of watery fluid is heavier than
when the animal is idle, and If the
sweat is allowed to dry on the skin,
dust will accumulate, mixing with 1t,
and, if not cleane doff, fill and clog
the pores. AS result the skin will
not only become diseased, but the
whole system more or less deranged.
The impurities, unable to escape
through the skin, will accumulate in
different places and give rise to blist-
ers, which, If neglected, may lead to
blood poisoning or something else
nearly as bad. By regular, thorough
grooming, however, all this will be
prevented, the pores kept open, and
healthier, thriftier condition Of the
animal maintained. A horse having
thick, tough skin will endure toll
erably sharp curycomb, which, used
on another with thin, tender skin,
would be a positive cruelty. What
ever accumulations of dirt may be on
the hair after the use of the curry
comb a thorough cleaning out OF the
skin should follow by the aid Of
good brush.

Tax on Migratory Livestock.


According to the Oregonian suit
is pending in the supreme court of
Oregon to test the validity of the act
of the last legislature which provided
for the taxation Of migratory live
stock The act provided that the own
er of live stock shall pay the taxes
thereon at the time of assessment at
the rate of the last levy. If the stock
should be taken into another county,
he must pay tax on them in proper
ton to the time they are pastured in
that county, and will be entitled to
collect from the first county the
amount of money he has paid to the
second.
The purpose of the law was to en-
able each county to collect tax on
live stock for the time the stock may
be ranged within it's borders. The
principal objection to the law is that
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-07-15

it provides an unequal rate of taxation
for the owner of migratory live stock
must pay at the rate levied for the
previous year, while all other property
is taxed according to a rate levied
after the assessment. The new law
was expected to discourage the driv-
ing of stock from one country to an
other, to make fair division of the
tax upon migratory live stock, and,
incidentally, to lessen the range
troubles. Like many laws that have
been enacted in Oregon, the first thing
to do is to submit it to the supreme
court. Lake county brought the first
suit under the law, and has carried
the case to the supreme court, Judge
Benson having sustained demurrer
PRO forma.

"The Sire is Half the Herd"

This is common saying, but is it
always true? 1t seems to depend on
circumstances. You breed a herd OF
common COWS, for instance, to thor
oughbred Jersey or Angus bull. These
two types are very strong in marking
their progeny.
Take the former, the Jersey. Some
of the calves from tne first cross will
look just like thoroughbred Jerseys,
and some will scarcely show the Jer-
sey breed at ALL In one case the sire
is the whole thing; in the other ne
cuts little figure. 1t seems to depend
on the strength of the dam.
Some half-breed Jersey COWS people
mistake for thoroughbreds, while 9th
er half-breeds have been sold to breed
crs who did not know they contained
any Jersey blood, or they wouldn't
have bought them.
The same Jersey sire and the same
common cow would produce calves of
different types from year to year. This
shows that the sire may be nine
tenths or only one-tenth OF the herd,
when used on common stock.
To what extent this is true when
breeding is continued along one line
Tor NUMBER OI Stu0IdClOuS dIu I'LL
able to say, but I believe it depends
upon the sire and the dam in every
case. Sometimes he may be stronger
than any cow in the herd and again
he may be weaker than certain 1ndl-
viduals.
1t pays to get the best sire possible,
for he will surely improve upon the
majority of the herd. If an individual
cow invariably marks the calves with
her characteristics and she is not OF
sufficient excellence to be maintained
she should be disposed of.

CoqsweII Buys More Red Polls.

GO0SWcIl Buys mOTC nCO TOIISs
L. X. Cogswell, the well-known
breeder of Red Polled cattle at Che
halls, has bought six head of the pick
of the Dunbar herd at Red Polled cat
tie, giving him a total of 76 head in
his herd of pure bred Red Polls. This
latest purchase in bunch consists of
the imported cow Merry, the choice
pair Judge Dunbar secured from the
Martin herd, Master and Daughter, the
show heifers Narcissus and Narcissus
II, and Miss Davy.
Wool buyers are now in Wallowa
county, Oregon, endeavoring to con-
tract for next seasons clip. They are
offering 16 cents a pound, one-third
of the purchase price to be paid down.
On the two-thirds remaining they offer
to pay whatever advance will be made
in the price next year, and should the
price be below 16 cents to still pay the
contract price. Many wool growers
are taking advantage of the offer, es-
pecially those who need the one-third
that is paid in cash as soon as the con-
tract is made. AS the most OF the grow
ers sold this season at 16 cents anc
those few who held received over ~
cents they are cautious about contract
ing for another year and are demand
ing good terms if they again contract.
The end in view in keeping sheep is
profit, and with wool and mutton 1t
should be realized.
A small amount of wool. or even
mutton, often represents the difference
between profit and loss.

Kansas Oil eraftecs.

How Kansas Was Rolled" is the
title of strong article in Appeton's

methods of the oil promoters in Kan
sas. The writer does not suggest a
remedy but according TO his state
ments. the Mississippi River Bubble
was but a mild explosion 20 the deton-
alton that Is due when the many peo-
ple-Avho have put money into the oil
district discover what is to be the
fate of their investments. The Kan
sans are not reputed to be a patient
people. and they have been trying to
do the right thing in regard 70 the oil
situation. Mr.. ogden tells how Gov
ernor Hoch was bluffed out by the
specter of the Populist party. and
gives a vivid description of the Office
force and workings OF one Of the larg-
lest and greedest fake oil concerns in
southeastern Kansas. When the full
realization of the situation comes
home to the Kansans Il win be q
mighty unhealthy state for oil pro-
meters. There is no question but that
the oil Is there, but IL is not as valu-

The CHIMNEY SwIFTS NEST


Russell NJ. coryen in September st. Mich
olas.
one morning late in June I climbed to
the top Of our house to look around the
country. ] had not been there long when
felt rush of air on my head and
saw a chlmney-swlft. Improperly called a
chimnoy-swallow. flying away for an
other swoop at me. I then realized that
L must be near its nest. and, looking
down a chimney near by, / saw after
my eyes had become used TO the light, a
nest within three feet Of the top with
five pure white eggs about a half an inch
long in IT, 1t was the first time ! had
ever known a chimney-swift to build so
near the top Of a chimney, for usually IL
builds some few feet down where there
Is a bend which Keeps out tho rain that
would soften the glue with which the
nest Is held together.
I thought 1t would be interesting 20
take a picture OF the nest and this be-
ing such "a good chance, I did so. much to
the dislike of the birds, who kept making
swoops at me.
The nest Of q chimney-swift is not
made, like that of most birds. of hair,
leaves or grass, but Of small twigs which
the swift gathers while flying and which
are stuck together with the birds saliva
which Is glutinous.
IL Is very interesting to watch a swift
which is remarkably good nier. IL
never seems TO tire and never rests ex-
cept when II is on the nest IL is on the
wing all the day and Is said sometimes
TO ny a thousand miles in twenty-four
hours. Chimney-swifts are good friends
Of the fire insurance companies because
they knock the SCOT down and make il
less easy for the chimney to catch fire
