There are 455 shingle mills and
$40 sawmills closed in the north
west. Besides these there are 93l
logging camps also closed as the
result of the general shutdown OF
the mills. This means an army
of nearly 10000 men thrown out
of employment in western WASH

The following three are taken
from daily papers and are worthy
your consideration:

last week and put his big toe into
it. He is inclined to treat the
statement Of this paper regarding
the Salt Lake soup kitchen in a
jocular manner and admits that
previous to the mention OF the
fact through the columns Of the
Free Press he had never heard Of

dubbed out all over him. But he

it has been suspicioned by many
that Carpenter was spending more
time patching up the political
fences Of his party and trying to
make political black look white
than he was to perusing the COL
umns Of the daily papers.
We can't be expected to review
the daily press dispatches for the
benefit of Flesh-Pot Elder Editor
Of the Standard News, but, with
his permission, would mildly sug.

gaze from the state treasury, rub

his eyes and read the current
news OF the present trading stamp

Brady has announced himself as

the wishes Of the coming republican
convention. Several republican
papers in the state are opposing
him and the Standard News is re-

that it is opposed to the gentleman.

THE WINTER FEEDING OF BEEF
CATTLE.

The settling up of so many of the
best cattle ranges in the west is bring
ing sharply to the attention of farm
ers and feeders the question as to
where feeding steers fit to consume
fifty-cent corn can be secured in the
future. IL they are to be grown on
the farm the cost of maintenance or
keep becomes a very important ques-
tion.
The Illinois Experiment Station,
which can always be expected to be
at work on a problem two or three
years before the farmer think seri-
Ously about 1t, and hence have reliable
information at hand when it is wanted,
has taken up the question of win
ter maintenance for COWS kept for the
sole purpose of raising calves, feed
ing them with the feeds that can be
grown most economically in the corn
country.
Thirty grade Aberdeen Angus cows
as nearly similar in size, conforma-
ton and breeding as possible were
secured for this experiment. They
were from three to six years of age
and from one-half to three-fourths
Aberdeen Angus, and arrived on the
farm In December, 1904. These cows
were divided In three lots as nearly
equal in age and condition as possible,
and were properly labeled.
