Lousy Stock.


Dip or wash the animals with a l or
2 per cent water solution Of a tar dis
infectant, such as kerso. A convenient
way to apply the remedy in the larger
animals is with a spray pump, and in
sheep and hogs by dipping. Whatever
method is used, the coat and skin must
be thoroughly wet with the solution.
After treating the herd, the stables,
sheds or sleeping quarters should be
sgraEea VII sh ". 3 per cent water
solution Of the disinfectant, Or white
wash may be used instead This is nee
essary in order to prevent reinfecting
the herd from the surroundings. If
there is much litter around the yards
it is advisable to move the herd to 9th
er cOrrals. Tar disinfectants in 1 or
2 per cent solutions do not destroy the
eggs or nits, hence it is necessary to
treat the animal again in ten days or
two weeks. StOckmen sometimes ask
if the feeding of sulphur to lousy ami
mails will not drive away or destroy
the lice. The feeding Of small doses Of
sulphur will do no harm, nor will 1t
help in getting rid Of the lice, and it
cannot be considered a remedy for this
class of disorders when used in this
way. Sulphur is effective, however,
when used externally, and the addition
Of four ounces to every gallon Of the
tar disinfectant solution used greatly
increases the effectiveness Of the rene

No Melon Is Blight Proof.

There is much talk of blight-proof
muskmelon varieties and some are an
nually sent out with that claim, but it
is safe to say that even a reasonably
light-resistant melon has not yet ma
terialized. The quest Is not by any
means hopeless as individual plants
vary to some extent in their power to
resist infection, so that careful selec-
ton may eventually isolate good va
rfety that can be depended on to a
greater extent than those we now have
The Colorado Experiment Station
claims to be making Roadway in this
direction, and keen private growers are
on the lookout for resistant individuals.

Board Drains Substitute for Tile.
Drainage is a live subject with the
farmers IN the northwest, and many
would be glad to do a great deal more
Qf It i they were IL a financial condi-
ton to do so. While tile drains are
considered the best, board drains will
give very good service for q number of
years and will enable the farmer to
raise better crops and thus provide
himself with the means for buying
tile later on. Board DRAINS especial
" where the ground IS so wet that
they are kept constantly saturated with
water, will last for years. Farmers
living In the districts where timber is
cheap will find that such drains will
answer the purpose very well without
much expense. Such drains have been
known to last twenty or twenty-five

]. C. Ulery, familiarly known as
Beaver Jack" ulery, a brother of
Mrs. Charles wilkins, who died in this
city several years ago, and an old
schoomate of Frank Arnspiger of this
city, is reported to have perished
while attending his traps in the Bit
ter Root mountains of Idaho, this
winter.
A correspondent from Lewiston
writes about the disappearance of
Ulery and II is the opinion of those
familiar with his habits that he has
perished. Henry Schultz, the well
known brewer of this city, has long
been personally acquainted with Ulery
and thinks that there is no doubt
about his death. For years he has
lived hermit life in the Bitter Root
mountains, coming out to civilization
occasionally for supplies, but living
alone in an almost inaccessible por-
ton of the range. He followed trap
ping and hunting for living, and was
peculiar character. The Lewiston
correspondent says of him:
Further inquiry into the life and
-
mountain hunter and trapper, better
known as Beaver Jack" who mys-
teriously disappeared from his ac-
customed haunts in the Craigs and at
Cold Springs, leads his Kooskia and
Lewiston friends to entertain the fear
that he has been killed by wild beasts.
Others cling to the idea that the
man met with an accident while at
tending his traps and being unable to
help himself, If he were not instantly
killed, succumbed to the elements, his
body now being buried under six or
seven feet of snow which covers the
Bitter Root mountains in the vicinity
OF the Craigs.
The last seen of Beaver jack was
on November 10, 1906, when he visited
the cabin of the forest reserve rang
ers at the fork of the Lochsa and Sell
wa rivers, 80 miles above Kooskia. He
| told the rangers that he had located
a band of elk up in the mountains;
that he, was going up to get some of
them, and that he would return with
the elk meat about November IS.
As soon as spring opens, Parry
says he intends to search the Craigs
and surrounding country for the re-
mains of Beaver Jack" At the same
time he will brick back to Kooskia
the mans possessions, and turn them
over to the authorities until his estate
can be settled up.
1t was learned today that Beaver
Jack" had three cabins. The one he
called his home had been nicknamet
the Saddle" cabin from its peculiar
location. 1t is about 20 miles from
the forks of the Lochsa and Selwa
rivers, on the main divide, and is
known to the forest reserve riders as
cabin No. g.. To hunters and trai
travellers it is known as Saddle cabin
being situated in a low saddle on tn,
divide between the two rivers. TIL,
cabin at Cold Springs was used as
base of supplies and as way cabir
or halfway house. The third cabir
is on the Three Forks trail, about II
miles beyond Saddle cabin.
Beaver Jack" was born in Oregon
on the Willamette river. near Port
land. His father was warehous,
man on the river and at one time wa
considered well-to-do. The missing
man had a brother living near Pa
louise, Wash, who is "A rancher.
