We are not giving away any
body's secrets, wheu we tell our
readers that Mr.. Clegg bot the
ranch of 100 acres with 1000
inches of water for $40, 500. He
sold a half interest in it for
$50, 900, and soon afterward, Mr..
Clegg and the Hickenloopers were
offered $29, 900 for it. They de-
clined to sell so good thing at
that price, and after adding $50
acres of adjoining land they incor-
porated for $4,000. W. A.
Hickenlooper of Ogden, Utah, is
president, G. A. Hickenlooper of
Pleasantview Utah is vice presi-
dent, and Thos. G. Clegg of
Blackfoot Idaho, is bust n S
manager.
They are pushing plans to di-
vide the long reservoir into many
divisions, with screens to keep the
smallest minnows from getting
back into the hatchery they are
going to make and keep each
larger size in their own division.
When the fish are all sold out Of
the lower or adult division, the
next division will be drawn into
it, and each division above it will
be "promoted.' This will make
room for the new hatch to come
into division number two, which
for convience we call a nursery.
Each division will occupy several
acres, and the whole system will
accom- modate millions of fish.

The world is short of horses and will
continue to be for long time to come
Several things have combined to make
it so. For time the Western World
raised bronchos but nothing else to speak
of. South America swarmed with them,
and the east was flooded with western
horses until the breeders had limitations
on their market. They had to raise
fancy drivers and heavy dray animals or
quit.
The bicycle fad spread over the coun-
try, western horses were unloaded on
the east until they could not be sold for
enough to pay freight, men both east
and west quit breeding horses except
special breeds, the bicycle fad was fol
lowed by the automobile fad, and for all
we know 1t may be followed by the flying
machine fad, but after trying all the fads
people want horses for As many things
as they ever did, and there are more peo-
pie and more kinds of work demanding
horses.
During the past nine years there have
been special demands on the horse mar,
ket that depleted the supply as it had
not been for long time. The rush to
klondike, the Spanish War. the rush to
Nome, the Russo Japanes, War, the set
Element of the Northwest Territory in
Canada, and the building of railroads
and reclamation works in the west
Practically all Of the horses taken into
these pursuits, were consumed in the
work
Conditions in South America have
changed with the result that the Euro
pean breeders have a vast market for
their stocF. and we have to pay more if
we get any horses to import. Each horse
whose life was used up in building recla-
nation works, made new farm where
several horses are needed, and each horse
that died building railroads, helped to
open up new empire so that ten times
as many horses ara needed Neither the
east nor the west can supply its home
demand for horses, and the Europeans
who raise all they can. receive the
benefit of the splendid market we offer

The days of turning your stock out,
on the open range, near your door is
past and is now only being talked Of, as
are many other things of advantage that
existed while the country was yet in
its frontier state.
Under irrigation pasture can be made
very lasting and also furnish an abund-
ance of forage.
The best plan to adopt is to have two
fields, one to irrigate and grow while the
other is being used. Stock should not
be allowed on the pasture while wet.
These fields should be prepared to irri-
gate easily, for tame grass pasture needs
about twice the amount of water that
ordinary hay land does. White or al
sike clover, blue grass, timothy and or
chard grass do well, but mixture of
them does better. Alfalfa and red clover
are dangerous to pasture as they may
cause the cattle to hloat. BY mixing
clovers and grasses you will have late
and early pasture, as grasses will start
two or three weeks earlier than clover,
and clover will grow late in the fall.
To get good stand, from fifteen to
twenty pounds of seed should be sown
per acre. The best stand can be OBJ
tanned by irrigatng the ground and
then narrowing in the seed as soon as
you can get on it. Sow the seed after
the ground gets warm the latter part of
May or up to July without a nurse crop,
and in four to six weeks you can begin
to pasture it lightly After the first
season a good stand of mixed grasses
will pasture three to four head per acre,
from six to nine months in the year. A
good tame grass pasture will furnish
two or three times as much feed per

Editor Republican, answer to your
request to write my experience IN the
stock business, | would say the Durham
cattle are the best kind of stock for this
section of our state. Now that the
open range has entirely disappeared, the
stock raiser must turn his attention to
good, hardy breed of cattle for milk
COWS. OF course, the Jersey is the most
profitable, and | would not recommend
the Holstein COW, altho she is preferred
by some people
The Percheron horse. think the best
all round animal for our use in South
eastern Idaho. OF course, for light
driving, smaller horses would suffice.
Now, as to the little animal that the
Chief Forester calls the flights OF the
Forest, my experience was limited
However, would say that if the sheep
had never trodden our bunch grass and
white sage in the ground and eaten
the June grass to the roots, the
Russian thistle and other obnoxious
weeds would not today be so dominant.
Cattle would be on thous and hills,
where now roam the sheep and herder,
while the real baron drives the buck
board, smokes cigars, and talk sheep.
OF course he is always the main factor
in making our laws, scab, coyote, two
mile limit, range distribution, and many
other laws originate with the sheep
barons.
In the fall they talk hay, and illustrate
how they should not pay but very
small price for it as the desert is the
natural home for golden hoofed amin
called the sheep I have just returned
from looking over the desert range,
and find that it also has been sheeped to
death. The moss and bunch grass, have
almost disappeared. Conditions have
changed. The homesteader looms up in
the future: his name is legion. The
horses the cattle, the large bands of
sheep, must be a thing if the past. They
are now passing.
The aggressive sheep baron, the drunk
en- cowboy, the talkative horse man, all
submit. Resistance is useless, for the
small farmer has come to stay.

ham County, and is also one of the
best. Not many moons ago we
published an article entitie d
"Trout in the Desert" and it is
being literally fulfilled. W e
showed how easy it is to raise
trout in some localities, in, or
bordering on the Carey Lands,
and called attention to the fact
that under proper conditions ton
of trout can be produced as quick
y as a ton of beef, and always
sells for two or three times as
much money. But somebody
else was thinking on similar lines
and put the idea into practical
use. The history of the project
up to the present time is this:
A long time ago, before The
Thaw Case, before Mormons and
Gentiles had any argument to see
whether they disIiked tithlpg, dues
donations or subscriptions the
worst, before Lewis and Clark
ever saw the Columbia River; in
deed before the days of Pitt or
Cromwell or Caesar OFT h e
Pharaohs, there was something
doing about Tilden, getting ready
for the trout business.
AS we were saying, it was a
long time ago, and the waters Of
Lost River flowed across to Snake
River, and left drift wood and
other plant matter scattered along
the way without asking any odds
of the fellows who run the forest
reserve. There were lots Of old
channels, and when the great
drouth came that DR.. Talmage of
The University of Utah speaks
about, some old crater opened up
and belched forth lot of lava
that covered the valley in a jitfy.
The vegetable matter along the
old water course burned out and
left streaks and openings under
the lava, and when the next wet
period came on, some of the water
followed under the lava and came
out in varions places near Snake
River, which men have since
given the name of springs. One
of these springs is on the old Gar
letz Ranch, later owned by S. W.
Gibbs, and recently purchased by
Thos. &. Clegg, who conceived
the idea of improving the large
reservoir on that place, and max
ing a fish pond and hatchery.
The first lnstallment of min
nows placed in the reservoir a
long time ago for domestic pur-
poses, have grown so large that
local fishermen were able to ode
liver the goods: when they told
of catching trout weighing eight
or nine pounds, and one shipment
of 100, 900 minnows, followed by
another of $4,000, will soon be
joined by 100000 more. The
minnows are furnished by the
government at small cost, to en-
courage the cultivation OF the fish
industry, and Mr.. Clegg esti-
mates that if a million minnows
grow up to be million trout of
two pounds each, and sell at the
prevailing price of % cents a
pound, the rece! pts for trout
would be half million dollars
But he does not expect them all
to live aud go to market and
bring him the retail price. On
the other hand it is worth while to
note that he has other stockmen
bested on several counts. He
does not have, to range them in
summer nor feed them in winter.

acre as alfalfa and will not kill out. Any
farmer who will SOW an acre or two for
an experiment will be pleased with the
results. In the middle west, the farmers
raise all their stock on pastures They
figure, on an average, one animal per
acre. Their land is worth $75 to 500
per acre, and they make money. They
make money because they raise good
stock, and keep it at home where they
can take care of it and keep it growing
the year around. Why can't we keep it
growing the year around: Why can we
not compete with them when our land is
nolhigher and will furnish three or four
times the feed.
LIVE STOCK BREEDING
Has there ever been so much interest
shown for the improvement of livestock
as at the present time? There is not a
single breed, but that shows more or
less activity. And every breeder
watches and studies every cross thor
oughly, to try to gain some particular
point, Of his fancy. OF all live stock
every breed has its particular place to
ill. And the certain different breeds,
as we have thenr today, have been bred
for generations for some particular pur-
pose Many people cross certain diNar-
ent breeds, for the purpose of trying to
get some kind that they think will an
swer their purpose better Every time
a person crosses different breeds. it is
speculation as to what the results will
be. You can never breed that way with
assurance. While one cross of a certain
strain may result favorably, the next
cross is sure to be something different,
and disappointment. There are full
bloods of all kinds to fill every purpose
And when kept pure you always know
about what you will get. This western
country in particular, has been breed
ing too many mongrels. such as crossing
draft horses with drivers to get general
purpose horses. The markets do not
demand a horse of this kind. Some
farmers cross dairy breed of cattle with
beef breed to get a combination dairy
and beef animal. Such breeding has not
proven success in other localities, and
it is sure not to prove success with us.
Our land is getting too valuable, and
help too scarce, to afford any longer to
keep mongrel stock. Better keep one
fourth the amount and get the same
amount of money for it.

any other breed, and has some particu-
lar place to fill,

self, and it never costs as much to raise
pure breeds for they are more hardy
and thrifty.
If you go on the market with horses
you will find there is only demand for
two classes. The heavy draft horse
and the driver. These are the kind
that sell at fancy prices. In our west
ern markets there is always a demand
for good horses, and they are shipping
them in from the east. We ought to
supply this trade, but the class of horses
we have been raising goes on the mar
ket and sells for less than one half what
the good well bred horse is bringing.
1t takes time to breed up good bunch
of stock, and one or two progressive
stock raisers can not build up all the
stock in locality. Every farmer should
try to raise some kind of full blood
stock and so doing is benefting his
locality as we'll as himself.
