According to the manager Of the
Cruelty Of Animals, an excellent or
ganization, there are no laws, ordi-
nances or police regulations in Ger
many prohibiting the use of the check
rein on horses with the exception of
the police ordinances of Berlin. The
only law in Germany, as far as this
authority knows, which prohibits the
Ill treatment of animals is that con-
tanned in the imperial penal code, ac-
cording to the provisions of which any
one who publicly cruelty tortures or
maltreats an animal is liable to fine
not exceeding $50 marks ($35.70) or
to Imprisonment of not over six weeks.
Throwing stones or other hard bodies
or mud at animals is also punishable
by fine not exceeding 60 marks
($142S) or an Imprisonment of not
over IA days. AS the existing statutes
are not regarded as sufficient properly
to protect animals from cruel treat
ment, the various societies for The pre-
ventaton of cruelty to animals in
Germany are endeavoying to secure
the enactment of new legislation
which would provide them with more
efficient legal support in their praise

A leahet published bv the same So
ciety makes it appear tat laws of
Germany for the protection of animals
from cruelty are not as etiici mt as
those of the United States Although

ENDS BIG HOLDINGS
EFFECT OF RULING BY INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT.
Oregon Journal Welcomes II as Her
aiding the Day OF Small Farms
and crowding Out the
wheat Kings"


There will hardly be any widespread
sorrow over the new ruling of the
interior department, which compels
the farmers who lease Indian lands
to dwell on them, says the Portland
Oregonian. 1t will have the effect OF
reducing the acreage held by wheat
kings and of increasing the number
of small farmers, an advantage too
obvious to require explanation. As
stated in Pendleton dispatch in the
Oregonian, the importance of this
ruling may be realized when it is un-
derstood that there are men living in
the city of Pendleton who are farm
ing as high as 5000 acres, upon which
there Is not single house. 1t will
mean the cutting UP of the big hold
ings into smaller holdings and the in
vasion of the reservation by more
humble class of growers and the
crowding out of the big wheat kings"
The present season has offered an
excellent illustration of the advant-
ages of farming on a small scale as
compared with what Ii generally
known as bonanza farming Prac-
tically all of the damage suffered by
the wet weather in the interior wheat
fields was on the big farms, where the
scarcity of labor made it impossible
properly to handle the crop when i
was ready. In nearly every case the
small wheat grower who was farming
about 100 acres and could work 1t
without much help, succeeded in es
Gaping injury. 1t will be a great many
years before diversified farming will
supplant wheat growing in many To-
Idaho, but limitation on the size of
the wheat fields will be of great bene
fit to the country. In. the case of
Umatilla county it will result in a
large increase In the population, some
thing which has not been noticeable
for a long time. In fact, there are
some townships in the county where
the steadily increasing absorption of
sinai ldIIllS ny lHe SlSdI NACoI SlON-
ers has resulted in decrease in popu-
lation at a time when all other por
lions of the northwest, outside of the
wheat districts, were showing sub
stantial gains.
In the Willamette Valley, which 80
years ago was producing nearly all of
the wheat grown in Oregon, diversified
farming has reached stage where
not infrequently ten families are found
on a single quarter section that was
once devoted to wheat growing and
each of the ten farmers is making
more money out of his small farm
than the farmer wheat growers made
out of the entire quarter section when
it was devoted to wheat growing
What the Pacific northwest needs is
more permanent residents to take the
place of that wandering army which
drifts in at harvest time and drifts out
again when harvest is over. The rul-
ing of the department will work a
hardship only on the big wheat kings,
most Of whom have done we'll enough
out of the industry to live quite COM
fortably on 100 acres for the remain
der of their lives.

shrinkaae Of Swiss Glaciers.
