INCH OF WATER Defined
OREGON SUPREME COURT SET.
TIES DISPUTED QUESTION IN
RECENT DECISION.

Ore of the most important decis-
ions ever rendered by the supreme
court of the state of Oregon was
case of Gardner ct al against George
F. Wright, appealed from Baker
county, involving certain water rights.
The decision of the court written by
Judge Eakin, clearly defines an Inch
of water both for miners and farmers.
The definition follows:
In speaking of measurements OF
water in use in California, Mr.. Will
liam Kent in his recent reference book,
for use by engineers and mechanics,
states the situation, thus:
1.-THE term. miners inch is more or
less indefinite for the reason that Cali
fornia water companies do not all
use the same head above the center
of the aperture, and the inch varies
from 1876 to 1.73 cubic feet per minute
each: but the most common measure
ment is through an aperture two inches
high and whatever length is required,
and through a plank IA inches thick.
The lower edge of the aperture should
be two inches above the bottom of the
measuring box and the plank five
inches above the aperture, thus MAX
ing a six-inch head, above the GEN.
ter of the stream. Each square inch
Of this opening, (under six-inch pres
sure,) which is equal to flow of 1-2
cubic feet per minute"

rigation, PIP. 1913; Troutwine on Civil
Engineering. p 546; Dougherty VS..
Haggin, SIS Calf. 522. 1t is evident
that the only reliable method by which
any certain number of inches OF water
when awarded under this method OF
measurement, can always be deter
mined, is On the basis Of what Is
termed by engineers as second feet"
or quantity of water flowing past
certain point in a given space of time.
The ratio recognized by the authorities
cited, and rule quoted, is that one
inch of water under six inch pres
sure equals one-fortieth of a second
foot.''-that is, forty miners inches
furnish a flow of water equal to one
cubic foot O-2 gallons per second of
time, which ratio we find substantially
accurate, and will be adopted here.

Saturday last, Thomson told the
board of public works that, because
of work in connection with the Lake
Washington canal commission, he
would be busy the greater part of
the week on public work in connection,
with the canal commission which is
trying to fix the assessment of prop
erty AMI the limits of the district from
which $1.000,000 will be raised for the
construction of the big waterway.

The Habit of Tongue Lolling.

correspondent says he has a young
horse that has a habit Of putting his
tongue over the bit and letting 1t hang
out of the mouth. Is there any way to
break him of this habit? He is using a
straight bit on him now and has the
bride so tight that 1t would seem i'm
possible to get his tongue over the Bit
but he keeps chewing at the bit con-
tinually and finally he succeeds in get
ting the tongue over.
If our correspondent will go to the
nearest harness shop he may be able to
find a bit made to act as a corrective Of
this habit. If he cannot secure such a
bit he can make one by getting a round
or oblong metal disk about two inches
wide and perhaps three inches long.
Round the edges and file them down
so they are smooth and will not injure
the mouth. Drill two holes at the outer
edges of this disk, about the center,
and fasten it loosely to the bit, using
wire, through the holes. The iron will
then lay fiat in the mouth over the
tongue and will make it impossible for
the horse to get his tongue over it.
Another method used by some horsemen
is to have a blacksmith make bent bit
in place Of the straight one, bending the
bit proper in such a way that it will
project up in the mouth two or three
inches.

bearing stock and Of good form and
the young pigs will eat up clean two
or three times daily.
When such plan as outlined above
is carried out you will find that you
have bouncing big pigs at weanig time,
and there will be no dropping off when
that period is passed through. Such
pigs are in ideal shape to acquire a
good deal of their living on pasture
during two or three months after wean-
ing, though, as a rule, we believe that
it pays to feed little grain every day
of a growing pigs life.
One thing more. Do not forget to
put in a supply of mineral matter, such
as soft coal slack, charcoal or ashes
It requires but little time and small
expense to keep a constant supply Of
mineral matter before hogs, and such
supply seems to be an important part
of the whole ration.

Notes for the Sheep Man.

If sheep and lambs are fed grain to-
gether the lambs will fare pretty slim.
Have a hole in the fence near the barn
through which the lambs can slip and
get away from the old sheep. Have a
good trough out there for the grain you
feed the little fellows and they will get
their share and grow like weeds.
Make it a rule to see the sheep and
lambs every day. Count them to see
that nothing has happened to them.
If one is sick or otherwise in trouble,
get it out of the flock where you can
give it a little extra care.
Pick out a good buck lamb for your
own use now Choose one from lamb

Mares Galore but Few Colts.

The trouble complained of in the
following note is not confined to one
section, but is general: II keep five
mares to do my farm work, and to
raise colts from all of them. A few
years ago when horses were cheap it
seemed easy to get mares with foal,
but now when colts are worth some
thing I am having a lot Of trouble.
This spring I will have but one colt
from the five mares Last year I had
two. My experience is net any diff
ferent from that of my neighbors. The
complaint is general. What can we do
to get colts? We have breed to our
company horse which stands only two
miles away"
An authority on the horse has made
the following suggestions in response
to the query above:
First, the trouble may be due, in
part at least to the horse, and all the
more likely if he ris handled as some
company horses are-given no exercise
worth naming, and ut times permit
ted to serve three four and some
times even five, mares in day. Vital
tty cannot be sustained for any length
Of time under such treatment. If we
would adopt a rational system Of
handling our stations we would get
not only more but better colts. The
ideal way is to work them on the farm.
A stallion doing a reasonable amount
of work the year round keeps in the
finest physical condition and by all the
laws of breeding should get more colts,
stronger colts, and colts that will have
the work instinct. If the horse to
which our correspondent is breeding
is not being properly handled he should
use his influence to bring about a re-
form.
Second, the trouble may be due in
part to the mares He does not say
whether all of these mares have been
breeders. One or more may be bar
rem; if so, replace them with mares
that are not. In some cases it may
be that the mouth Of the womb is
closed; this can be determined by the
groom of the horse and remedied.
Perhaps the trouble is due to an acid
condition of the secretions. The yeast
treatment published recently usually
overcomes this trouble. A number of
other conditions may make it difficult
to secure impregnation, but those men,
toned are most common.
Third, the fault may be with the
owner of the mares. The breeding
season is the busy season on the farm,
and too often the mare is hurried to
the horse and back again to the field
as quickly as possible mare should
not be taken to the horse Immediately
after a sharp drive or when over
warm or excited in any way. After
service she should be put in dark
box stall and left for two or three
hours If possible before being taken
home She should not be worked any
more that day and should be kept
away from other horses until she has
gone out Of heat. The date Of breed
ing should be noted, and the mare re-
turned for trial at the proper time,
whether she shows signs of passing
the period or not If she refuses the
horse at this time watch her closely
until the next period, when she should
be again tried. This may seem like
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-06-01

a good deal of trouble, but If you
breed at all every means of breeding
successfully should be taken. Go at
it carefully and systematically. If the
horse has settled a reasonable percent
age of the mares bred to him for the
season, and failed to settle yours after
you have done your part sell the I'M
certain mares and buy others that will
breed.

Some Hints on Pig Raising.

Pig raising in the minds of many
persons is a hit-and-miss affair. Men
expect bad luck" at intervals. Our
attention has recently been called to
an instance where an extensive farmer
raised only fifty pigs from the first
fifty sows that narrowed, and yet, on
the other hand it is not difficult to
find instances where a large bunch of
sows have raised seven, eight and nine
pigs on an average.
When a man loses his pigs in a whole
sale way, is it a matter of bad luck or
bad management? In our opinion it is
the latter or, rather, mismanagement.
It is too late to give advice now on
handling the SOW previous to narrowing,
but it is not too late to drop few
hints that will help out the man who
has succeeded in saving a nice average
The matter of first Importance is that
of keeping a comparatively small num-
Der Of young pigs together. We have
found from experience that two sows
may be put together when their pigs
are two or three weeks old without run
ming any risk of the pigs Stealing" and
thereby runting. An outlay of SIS or
$40 will fence a half acre lot, and more
than this can be saved on the first
bunch Of pigs raised, providing, Of
course that the sows average seven or
eight each. When the herd is divided
up in this way and the old sows are fed
all the good rich slop that they will eat
during the first two or three months af-
ter they farrow, the largest and most
economical gains will be made on the
young pigs that is possible during their
career. It is not reasonable to expect
a good milking SOW when handled in
this way, to make her pigs weigh
thirty, forty, or even fifty pounds by
weaving time but it cannot be done
where large numbers are run together.
We do not deny that there is profit
in raising pigs the other way. that is
by letting the sows all run together and
allowing the little pigs to take their
chances as they find them, but, on the
other hand, there is much more profit
in the plan outlined above, namely, d.
viding the sows up while the pigs are
sucking.
Men are divided in their opinion as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of feeding young pigs
heavily between the time they are four
or five weeks old and weaving time.
Wnere one mas SdVeu d idrSo average
per SOW we certainly think that 1t pays
to feed, and that can only be done sue
cessfully when a creep is provided for
the little pigs. They need something
else besides corn, and while mill feeds
are high in price and have been for
some time. yet it will pay we'll to use
them to some extent. We do not adj
here to or advocate any special mix
ture Five parts ground corn, five parts
middlings and one part tankage or oil
meal will make an excellent slop for
young pigs. and we think that it pays
to mix 1t up about twelve hours before
feeding. With such a mixture little
harm can come from feeding all that
