LEGISLATION That Is Dangerous.

Often, when a man finds he is I'M
able to compete in business with an
other through honest business meth
DDS he is glad to StOOp to some sort
of trick to attain his ends, no matter
whether such methods injure the COM
mOnwealth as a whole or not. Numer-
GUS cases might be cited illustrative of
what is meant by the above statement,
but one will Suffice-a case that Is now
before the legislature at Olympia. The
roundabout method some cheap horse
dealers are using to attain their ends
may not be clear to the minds of the
legislators of this state, and If the
latter pass any such law as senate bill
No. 1923 they will sooner or later rea-
lie that they have been used as a
cats paw by some willy schemers to
drag the chestnuts out of the fire.
Senate bill No. 1923 provides that
when farmer buys a registered stall
lion, jack or bull in the State of Wash
ington and wants to give his note for
all or part of the purchase price he
must have the note endorsed mon
negotiable" At the first glance this
may seem all right-and it will be
on this very point that many legisla-
tive votes in favor of the bill will be
caught, unless prevented in time. II
enacted into law this bill will be the
means OF effectually shutting out the
breeders of the best registered stall
lions, jacks or bulls in the State, and
opening the food gates to the cheap
unregistered animals, which can be
sold at low price and whose breeder
or seller can afford to wait for the
notes on the animal to mature. No
reputable breeder of animals will ac-
cept a "non-negotiable" note in pay
ment for one of his $4,000 or $4,000
stallion; he simply cannot do business
that way. He will accept only bank
able paper, from which he can realize
cash on his sale, although at a slight
discount from the face Of the note.
The breeders or dealers of the cheap
stations or bulls know this, and It is
to prevent the breeders and importers
OF fine animals from doing business in
the State that senate bill No. 1913 has
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-03-01

been concocted and introduced in the
w ashington State legislature.
The bill provides that its provisions
shall be applicable only to registered
stations, jacks or bulls, allowing the
cheap unregistered animals to escape
the hardships imposed. This is just
what the breeders Of the latter want,
for they know that the farmers will
demand the better animal every time
in comparison with the mOngrel. They
have not animals Of real merit to o1er
the farmers, hence find it expeditions
to resort to the legislature to have all
competition removed. II the farmers
do not want their livestock improved
by the infusion of the best blood let
them write their members OF the leg
islature to pass senate bill NO. l23,
but, on the other hand, if it is the de-
sire of the farmers OF our common
wealth to have as many pure blood
stations, jacks and bulls as possible
scattered throughout the State, so as
to steadily improve the herds, then
let them send most vehement pro-
test against the passage of Senate bill
1913. There is no choice between the
two sides. Enact this bill into law,
and the stock business of the State
is dealt staggering blow. Defeat the
bill, and the industry will continue to
improve with the infusion of more and
more pure blood into our herds.
The livestock industry in Washing
ton today is far from the goal of per-
lection toward which it is striving, but
each year finds it nearer and nearer
We should lay no obstacle in the way
of the breeders and importers of the
finest animals, in whose veins run the
most royal blood of foreign countries.
These breeders place within the reach
of the farmers service animals that,
while they may cost some more than
the scrubs, will eventually eliminate
all mongrel blood and give to the
State herds containing full bloods or
the best high grade individuals. There
is money to be made with such ami
mails, but there can be no profit in
breeding down the herds, as is con-
templated by those who are backing
senate bill No. 1913. This is a most
insidious bill and should never be-
come law, for the simple reason that
once it becomes law it will destroy
the fine stock industry in the State.

Barley is one of the most desirable
grains for stock feeding, and is espec-
the firm quality of flesh produced
when fed. In beef production salts
factory gains have been made with it
ranging from Ill to two pounds a
day on steers averaging about 800
pounds live weight at the beginning.
When on full feed Of five to six pounds
of barley day the complement of al

thirty pounds.
