those who have something you want.
Every one who is engaged in the
raising of wool and mutton in the
western half of the continent is thor
oughly optimistic as to the outlook
for the industry.
The great International livestock ex-
position, held at Chicago in the middle
of December, was in every way
grand success, according to reports.
The promoters intend to get up even
a greater show for the fall of 1906.
There is big demand for fancy
poultry this year and many OF the
most prominent breeders, and espec-
tally those who advertise all the time,
have orders booked far ahead. If you
want to be sure of getting some of the
eggs you have to place your orders
early.
Mr.. e. F. Benson has become pres
ident of the Washington state live
stock association, a position to which
he is eminently fitted by reason of
his long experience in the livestock
industry in the state and his intimate
acquaintance with all the leading men
in this line.

resolution was unanimously passed
respectfully requesting the senators
and representatives in Congress from
this state to aid in securing an adj
equate appropriation for the conduct
of the work in farm management that
