THE PACKING INDUSTRY.

Parties at Dayton, Wash, Grange

are considering plans for establishing
local meat packing plants by which
they hope to profit and stimulate the
extension of the live stock industry.

four big packers, Swift, Armour,
Morris and Cudahy, and their as
sociate, the National Packing Com
pany, do an annual gross business
of almost $800,O00,OO0, total greater
than that of the steel corporation IN
it's biggest year, 1907, when gross
sales reached $757,OO0,OOO. 1t is now
possible, owing to Massachusetts laws
requiring full statements, for the first
time in the history of the packing in
dustry, to get close idea of the exact
proportions of the business, the sales
of the different companies for the last

The HORSE
PURSES FOR TRoTTERs.

Secretary M. D. Wisdom of the
North Pacific fair circuit, embracing
all the light harness race towns of the
Pacific Northwest, has given out the
official program for the various horse
meetings to be held this season.
Never before has there been so much
money hung up for the trotters and
PAGERS in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho. This applies not only to the
cities in the North Pacific curcit, but
to other smaller racing points. These
events, taken as whole give an earn
ing capacity to the harness horse
which has not been approached here
tofOre. One reason for this is the
fact, says Secretary Wisdom that
bookmaking has been eliminated in
the racing game on the Pacific Coast
which means that the harness races
are coming more and more into favor.
Purses aggregating 100000 are offered
for the Northwest circuit.
The widespread anti-gambling
movement responsible for the wiping
out of betting on horse races has prac-
tically abolished running races, and ex-
traordinary efforts are being made
by the lovers of the harness races to
arouse general public interest in the
trotting and pacing turf events by
the offering of heavy purses.
Portland week will be September
20-25, the races being run off in con-
nection with the annual livestock ex-
hibition at the Country Club.
Seattle dates and events together
with the purses are as follows: Sc
attic, September 27 to October 2, 2:25
pace, Queen City purse, $1,000; 2:16
trot, Alaska purse, $1,000; 2:17 pace,
Pioneer purse, $1,000; 2:10 pace,
Northwestern purse, $1,000; 2:12 trot,
worlds fair purse, $1,000; 225 trot,
A. Y. P. purse, $1,000; 2:2O pace,

pace, Rapid Transit purse, $1,000; 2:20
trot, Puget Sound purse, $1,000; 2:15
pace, Tacoma purse, $1,000; for late
closing events, $4,000.
Other dates are: Salem, September

Most farm horses get far too much
hay. A pound for every hundred
weight, live weight, is enough, fed
one-third in the morning early, none
at noon and the rest at night. This,
of course, when horses are working

Very many farmers do not have
enough horse power. The high price
of feed and the tempting prices that
are offered for horses have served to
reduce the horse supply on the
farms to a low point compared with
the actual requirements. While it is
a wise policy to make the horse crop
help to increase the yearly revenue of
the farmer it is not wise to sell so
short as to deprive the farm of album
dant horse power. In fact, it is better
to have a surplus of work horses than
not enough Emergencies are thus
provided for and a great economy
practiced during the rush season.
Big plows need plenty of power. If
you use a 12-inch plow you travel
eight miles in blowing one acre. If
you use a 16-inch plow you only trav-
ell six miles per acre and do better
work.
