The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-02-15

Alp Ranch, January 20, 1908.
Editor of The Ranch,
Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir-Referring to Talks With
Our Readers in The Ranch's Deem
Der number, will say that l am as
tonished to see how few farmers or
stockmen dare to substantiate the
stand the way they should.
1t is a well-known fact by any ex-
perienced feeder that even feeding hay
as low as five dollars a ton each
pound of grain will cost an average
of seven cents and half.
Now right here in the Methow val
ley there is to the best of my knowl-
edge about 600 head of beef just as
good as anywhere, if not better, that
their owners would be glad to dispose
of, even at discount, if a buyer should
show up. The highest price. paid SO
far has been $2.75 for cows and 1913
(hundred pounds) for steers. Any one
can see that if it was not for the free
range the ranchers would raise and
sell their stock at a loss of fifty cents
on the dollar or more. No wonder
ranchers are getting poorer and pack
ers richer. Some time ago l also read
in The Ranch that hide buyer stated
that he had to pay this year in Okano-
gan county as high as nine dollars for
a hide. (That was in reference to the
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-02-15

shoe trade.) Now, let me state that
the only kind of hide Chat is, cattle
hide) that was sold in Okanogan coun-
-ty for nine dollars apiece was with life,
tallow, meat and bones, etc., in the
inside of it, Best known price paid
has been from $3.50 to So each. The
writer does not wish any i'll or harm
to either beef or hides buyers; he likes
to see them do well.
But at the pace they have been go:
ing, if they are not killing the goose
that lay the golden egg, they are at
least starving it. They must not be
forgetful about a well-balanced ration.
They are feeding all grit without any
reproducing food whatever.
BY the way, while l am at it, could
we get Mr.. F. Walden to write an
article about the best way to set new
orchard. He is quite an up-to-date ex-
pert in the matter and a good many
of your readers would appreciate an
article on the subject.
Since more irrigating bitches are
built in the valley a good many are
turning their attention to dairying and
fruit raising.
Wishing The Ranch a prosperous
New Year, remain, Yours for Success,
GUSTAVE BANDERET.

Editor The Ranch:
l notice in one of your numbers an
article headed "The Farmer Has the
Best of IT, that we of the Okanogan
country are now getting from SIS to
81 for our cattle hides. Now, dear
friend, we never got more than So,
and that for about one in So and now
all we get offered is $3.50 for prime
beef hides. Such articles as that are
misleading and deceiving. l am not
knocking about prices, but about mis-
statements. e. N. GARRISON.

Editor of The Ranch
In reply to yours of January II, re-
questing story of my poultry ex-
perience, I will say that after keeping
mongrels for some time bought pure
bred White Wyandottes They have
been source of profit and pleasure
to me. The pullets began to lay in
October, all laying in December and
continued laying all winter. l GER
tainly was a satisfied customer
Some people stand by the mixed
chicken. I don't, because you have
some large, some small, layers and
non-layers. l believe person will
take more interest in standard bred
poultry than in mongrels, because, in
the first place, they cost more, and
secondly, they look better. I had
mixed chickens and Wyandottes one
winter to compare their laying quail
ties. The resultwas that l soon sold
the mongrels at sacrifice in order
to be rid of them. They layed. yes,
every one of them, but not so good as
the Wyandottes. The source of
pleasure l spoke of is the admiration
caused by seeing uniform flock of
pullets every time go outside, and
hearing the comments of my friends
concerning their looks, and sometimes
receiving an order for eggs. My
friend, if you keep chickens, keep
thoroughbreds. They'll put more
money in your pocket and give you
more satisfaction than scrubs. I have
an incubator due to hatch tomorrow,
January 49, Tonight l heard the
chicks squeak inside the shells, some
having pipped already. They are
thoroughbreds. Will l take good care
of them? You bet

Could you, or any of your readers,
tell me what is the cause of grubs,
or worms, in a cows back, and is there
any cure or preventive? Can any of

think or know about it. A. E. G.
