Fred Gelwick as Bear Hunter.

The baying of the bear pack may
soon be music to Pullman s sport low
ing citizens, and if the schemes of
Fred Gelwick do not miscarry, Presi-
dent Roosevelt may one of these fine
mornings find in his mail an invitation
to join in the big bear hunt which is
to be a part of Pullman's daily life
hereafter.
Recently syndicate of the city's
business men who think they ought to
be bear hunters came into possession
Of a pair of beautiful Airedale terriers
whose pedigrees are as long as their
tails are short, and whose ancestors
are noted as the cream of bear hunting

everything in readiness for the hunt
except that Col. Sapp and Toodles had

Ips Up TO the Farmer.

The range is fast disappearing, and
the opportunity is now with US for the
production of beef on small farms. The
work, however, in order to make it a
thorough success. must be a special
work, and the farmer who undertak es
it must never lose sight Of the fact
that it requires proper knowledge of
the business on hand. Beef must
come from some source, and the farm
er on a l6O-acre farm is the man in
this state to produce it.

EXPERT TELLS OF RAISING BEEF

Writes on Beef Production

whatever kind is most fancied, with a
pure bred bull to head the herd bull
that possesses the characteristics of a
getter of quality calves. 1t does not
always follow because a bull is pure
bred, and has a pedigree, that he will
fill the bill. There is such a thing as
a pure bred scrub. In selecting a bull, e,
it is always requisite to have some
idea Of mating the cows properly, but
it is never advisable to buy a big,
bany, cat-hammed beef bull. Size is
all right, if the quality is there. It
is so much easier to feed an animal

The State College steer. Jack, was of

Must Specialize.

Like everything else, the production
of beef must be a speciality, and there
is no reason why the farmer cannot
make good yearly income. There are
men IN this state who have gone east
and bought the best beef cattle that
money could procure with the idea that
the time was at hand for the 160-acre
farmer to develop the beef industry.
So far, these public benefactors have
had but meager encouragement.
In fact, some of the beef herds have
been disposed Of. This is, indeed, a
pity, because it loses great deal Of
foundation stock to the northwest.
Farmers also complain that there are
not enough buyers to create an interest
in the beef business. When the time
arrives that there area sufficient lot of
good beaves on hand there will be no
shortage of men to buy, especially
after the new packing house on the
West Side is erected.
There Are Pure Bred Scrubs.

this business. and that is to start right

To Make Baby Beef.

To make baby beef, the calves would
have to suck the cows, the cows being
properly fed and cared for to make them
milk. The calves should be housed up
during the day, and fed meal of some
kind and turned out at night for exer-
else. am of the opinion that before
long a farmer on 100 acres of land can
grow enough corn to feed off each year
goodly number of young beeves.
Part of the crop could be put in a silo
and part husked. That, with alfalfa
or clover hay would make ma excellent
ration, or mixed with the other cereals
which can be grown abundantly, it
would perhaps be better
YearIings Weigh 1000 Pounds.
All the experiments that have been
made along the line of feeding cattle
prove conclusively that the profits come
from early matured beeves. By
proper care it would not be too much
to expect long yearlings to average
1000 pounds, and at two and little
over, 1900 to 1400 pounds. | am not

lieve that can he done under ordinary

in very high state of cultivation,
and it would produce extremely heavy
crops.

In Washington we are learning bet
ter ways of doing everything and he
who would lead in the race must indeed
be progressive.
Most of our large wheat ranchers
declare that keeping cattle at all is an
injury to them from a financial stand
point. From their point Of view, this
may be true. To allow herd of cat
tie to roam at will over large wheat
ranch is certainly detrimental to the
tilling of the soil. Anybody who has
plowed a piece of ground "'poached"
full of holes, knows exactly how it
goes. The ground is in a measure
ruined consequently the men who own
large acreage will never become dairy
men or beef producers, and we must
look elsewhere for the needed supply.
No Beef in Washington.
Thus far, Washington has not been
noted as a beef producing state. Even
in our large cities, the people are eat
ing a very poor article that is called
beef, especially at this season of the
year, and it seems to have taken a
long time to teach the farmers that it
does not pay to raise scrubs. The
Inland Breeders Association has by
every possible means encouraged the
farmer to produce better beef cattle.
The excellent prizes that have been
offered have brought but meager re-
sponse, and while on show day we
would see a splendid exhibition of
horses, creditable to any state, the
cattle exhibit has been left with but
one exception to the State College.
The reason for this is quite plain. The
farmers of Eastern Washington have
not, so far as | know, prepared them
selves to raise beef cattle as one of the
staple products of the farm-merey
some cattle to eat the wild oats of the
summerfallow in the summer, and the
straw in the winter, the stack taking
the place of what would be much bet
ter, a good, comfortable shelter; the
little gain in fseh made in summer is
lost in the winter, consequently they
could not help but lose money for the
owner.
