ty of quality. The fact is, corn makes
good provender when fed judiciously
but in the great corn states it is of
ten fed almost to the exclusion OF
everything else. This burns out the
fiues and makes unhealthy hogs which
causes frequent visitations of the chol-
era plague. Cholera and corn are
both practically unknown in this
state. Our hogs are healthy and make
the finest kind of pork. 1t keeps some
ranchers guessing at times to find
enough feed for them. In some Sec
tons an early maturing dent corn,
rich in protein, is grown and of course
it is used for hog feed. Wheat and
barley, sometimes an injured lot, peas,
potatoes, sugar beets and other root
crops, mill feed, beet pulp, milk and
kitchen swill are all used in connec-
ton with alfalfa to satisfy the hogs
omnivorous appetite.

The Nebraska experiment station
undertook to find out what feeds-tak-
ing those grown right in the state and
of low price-would be best for sup
plementing corn, and hit upon alfalfa
as best of all. Six lots of steers of
ten head each were fed for three
months on the different rations. Lot
1 was fed on prairie hay with the
corn, lot 2 prairie and alfalfa hay,
lot alfalfa, lot corn stover or stalks
without ears, lot corn stover and
alfalfa and lot 6 corn fodder-stalks
with ears attached-and alfalfa. The
best gains were made by the steers
feed snapped corn and alfalfa hay
mounting to 2.06 pounds daily. Those
in the lot receiving snapped corn, al
falfa hay and prairie hay gained 201
pounds day, those on snapped corn,
alfalfa and slower 1876 pounds, those
on corn fodder and alfalfa 1.81 pounds,
while the steers fed snapped corn and
prairie hay gained IL pounds and
those fed on snapped corn and sto-
yer 1.02 pounds day. These results
show that when alfalfa was added to
the ration the gains were increased
materially. This is explained by the
fact that alfalfa is high in protein con-
tent and supplies that which is lack
ing in the corn, prairie hay and corn
slower.

Exhaustion in Livestock Business

Expansion IN EiVcStoCk DuSHiSSS'
A peculiar situation has been con-
fronting the various fairs of the Pa
cific northwest this year, so far as
the livestock exhibits are concerned.
At all the larger fairs so far held in
this section, including the Washington
and Oregon state fairs and the Spokane
interstate fair, the stockmen have been
very few in comparison with previous
years. Just what is the cause of this
it is hard to state, but IL letters re-
ceived by The Ranch from different
stockmen are any criterion there are
not so many fine animals in the hands
of breeders this season as usual. Many
of them are emphatic in the statement
that they have sold out most of their
animals and will not have many more
to dispose of for some time to come.
Others say they could easily sell num-
bers of additional animals if they but
had them.
This condition may account in part
for the small number showing at the
various fairs, but at the same time 1t
is an indication of good in the stock
business. The many small breeders
who have been buying from the large
established herds are laying the foun-
dation for herds of their own, either
for fine stock breeding or for market
animals, and in the course of two or
three years they will be seen at the
fairs with strings of fine animals that
will be representative of herds now in
existence in our section of the coun-

Indications are to the effect that the
coming fall and winter will be most
prosperous season for the farmer In
every way. Livestock interest is keen
and the demand for good blood is
strong; the prices for butter and eggs
are high very early in the season; all
kinds of crops are good on the whole
and the prices very satisfactory, all
of which makes powerful combina-
ton in the farmers favor.

1t was expected that the state fair
at North Yakima would be far ahead
of the interstate fair at Spokane, but
such appears not to have been the
case. There is something radically
wrong with the state fair when it can
hold only weeks exhibition, while
a fair not supported by the state can
hold two weeks exhibition and put
up larger attractions and bring out
more exhibitors.

Doctor Shows Judge Some Fast Driv-
ing, but the Latter Is Game.
DR.. McBryer, who was very fond of
speedy horses. had purchased a new
one that had mark of 2:1O and also
possessed some very headstrong ways.
Nevertheless the doctor was proud of
his now trotter and was anxious that
his friends should enjoy with him its
bursts of speed. So about a week after
the thoroughbred had been added to his
stable he invited Judge Rodgers to take
a drive with him. The judge said he
would go gladly. They started out Of
town at lively clip. In the country
the doctor gave the horse his head. and
the buggy ratified over the road at a
hair raising rate of speed. The judge
clinched his jaws and manfully deter
mined not 70 ask the doctor to slow
down. knowing that If he did so he
would be accused of lacking nerve. At
last, about five miles out, the doctor
pulled up and turned around prepara-
tory to starting home.
"How do you like him, judge? asked
the doctor.
"Fine! Best goer l ever saw. Great
pleasure to ride behind him." declared
the judge.
"Well. on the way back I'll just show
you what real trotting is"
The horse covered the first mile as If
it were squirting down homestretch to
win a $4,000 purse. The judges hat
was Jared off, and his hair blew
straight back from his head. Still he
would not cry quits. Then an automo-
bile whizzed by, and the horse was
frightened. With the bit in its teeth it
took immediate charge Of the driving
party and neither doctor nor judge |

that the doctor merely pulled taut on
the reins and occasionally chirruped
soothingly to the horse, would not |
show any signs of alarm. They reach

seemed to put on more speed. From |
side to side of the street they bounced,
and then the judge leaned over to the
doctor and gasped:
