In 1861. where the Shenandoah sang

pahannock ran beside the hills, along
the storied banks of the James, and
within the blue haze of the mountain.

know it, We all admit it, and yet
how few of us have any registered
stock on our farm or ranch" if you
please. What are the reasons? The
main reason is that we are hard up
and can not or think we can not af-
ford to pay from SIS to S25 for a regis
tered boar pig, and still worse from
500 to $3.50 for registered bull. And
farmers as a rule do not take kindly
to the cooperative plan of buying such
animals and keeping them in neigh
borhood on a pro rata basis "for the
good of the order"
Another reason is that we as class
are not much on bookkeeping and we
do not know to a dead certainty
whether the balance on our scrub
stock account at the end of the year
should be carried out in red or black
ink.
I must confess personally that until
the last two years I have not had a
head of registered stock on my place,
and if it had not been for my Oldest
boy, II years old, | might not have

neighbor who had neglected to trim"
his male pig and | got the use OF him
before the surgical operation was per-
formed The male pig was black, and
a spirited discussion arose as to
whether the ears stood up straight
enough to entitle him to be called a
Berk, or whether he was a lop-eared

The Best AII-PurposefuI Chicken.


Someone has asked which is the
best all purpose chicken, the Wyan-
dotte or the Rhode Island Red. We
all have our favorites but the farmer
wants an all purpose bird, one that
has the size and one that will fill the
egg bucket The Reds will do this
the year round. When you beat the
Reds as layers you must get non
sitter.
There are plenty who think that
Just so it is a chicken it is all right
That is all wrong. Don't take my
word for it but try it for yourself
The breeding season is on and the
thoroughbred man is getting from So
to S. per sitting and you old scrubs
get ten cents. Now make faces at me
if you dare When l started with
the Reds l paid 1918 each for my
birds and my neighbors made fun of
me, but they all want to go in the
poultry business now.

open. In further course of time my
Chester White" had nine pigs and
raised them all. AS time rolled on l
slaughtered my porkers and sold them
to butcher at cents a pound. On
adding up my bills for hog feed
found they had cost me cents. The
next litter | resolved to sell at wean-
ing time, and did so, getting 50 each
at six weeks old and taking most of
the pay in labor. Then came a per-
iod of buying two pigs a year for
family pork.
Finally my Oldest son got chance
to go out with a surveying party, and
he acted on my advice and bought a
registered Berkshire pig twelve weeks
old, which cost him, with express
added, his first months pay. The pig
was a sleek, handsome animal, weigh
ing lis pounds. His sire weighed $40
pounds at fourteen months of age and
got the blue ribbon at the Lewis and
Clarke show. The Duke of Meadow
Lawn, as he is called, has long list
of titled ancestors with prize winning
records. We bred him to two good
sows not registered and sold the pigs
readily with the help of an ad. in our
local paper, at SIS each and were not
asked to take it out in work either
The Duke has paid his keep in out
side service and has proved a valu-
able pig getter.
Later my boys bought two regis
tered sows who have each had their
first litter of pigs and they are offer
ing them for SIS each at twelve weeks
of age, and expect to realize enough
to help pay their way through high
school. Before the year is over we
will try to get enough dollars laid up
in our stocking to get a registered
Jersey heifer to breed TO a registered
bull our neighbor has. This regis
tered stock venture has interested my
four boys in the farm so that they
have no desire to leave it and this
fact alone pays me for what it has
cost w. ID. GOODRICH.

We Should Raise Toys.

Editor Ranch: | think the farmers
of the state of Washington are max
ing a great mistake in not paying
more attention to hog raising and to
breeding good stock. l raised one lit
ter of nine pigs that brought $214, in
Guiding SO premiums at the Sunnyside
fair, and they were disposed of under
six months old. Later, two were sold
by N. F. Koegler at his auction. The
SOW brought $40 and the boar SAB,
which looks as though there were
some at Kennewick who know and
appreciate good hogs.

ease Is correct this trial need never
have taken place and Hermann might
now be behind the bars for term OF
years. The mistake the government
accuses itself OF is in not forcing
Hermann cut of Office the moment IL
was discovered that he was holding
back the Holsinger report, and at the
same instant Selling all the records
In the general land Office. But when
his resignation was demanded there
came an avalanche OF requests from
politicians, office-holders, and promi-
nent citizens protesting against a
summary and disgraceful removal OF
Hermann and asking that he he
treated with some dignity aud per.
united to resign, at the end OF thirty
days. This vas done, and now the
government charge that during those
thirty days Hermann collected and
destroyed all the evidence in the of.
nee discriminating himself and Others
In the land frauds. The specific
charge on which he Is being tried is
for the alleged destruction of thirty
live letter-press copy books, claimed
to have contained letters which
would have made clear the whole vast
conspiracy by which in few years
all the public lands worth anything
would have been stolen.
Men have been at work in the
General Land Office for the past Three
years trying to lind some incriminat-
Ing evidence overlooked by Hermann,
but according TO the government
claims none has been found. The
government says Hermann made a
clean sweep, but although the trial
is being prosecuted with the greatest
care and diligence, with no detail
overlooked, it is beginning to be sus-
pected that the case against Her
mann will not result in a conviction.
III he is guilty he has certainly COW
cred his tracks very effectually, so
far as the charge of destroying pub
lie records Is concerned. But out In
Oregon, where he has been indicted
for conspiracy to defraud the govern.
ment, most of his alleged fellow con-
spirators have already been convict
ed, and he will have to stand trial
there as soon as the trial here is con-
cluded.
