A Committee on Christmas

Last Saturday the committee to
buy the presents for the Cedar
creek Christmas tree were down
and made their selections. There
is great expectation on the part of
the small humanity on that creek
and altho Christmas is but two
days away, it seems an eternity to
every small man and woman on
the creek. The committee con-
sisted of the Misses Elva Want.
Ludella Flood and Ida Albee.
Judging from the large number OF
packages in the back part of the
sleigh somebody on Cedar creek
will have knobby stockings on
Christmas morning.

been employed in the dining room
of the Hotel Wolf, returned Sat
urday from a visit to her place
near Kemmerer. She owns a fine
ranch of $50 acres about five miles

full during her absence this time
In making very satisfactory
lease on it for five years. Her
services are highly esteemed
at the Hotel Wolf, where she has
been in charge of the dining room.

much confidence does Mr.. Wolf

Denver.

Saratoga Girl Makes Good

Saratoga people will remember
Lurene the 12-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Simonson,
who now resides in Rawlins. At
the beginning of the present term
she was promoted to the 7th grade
in the public school of that place
with the understanding that if she
did not pass the examination she
was to 90 back to the 9th grade.
The examination just reveals the
fact that Lurene was the only one
of Is girls In her room who passed
and that only 5 boys out of l9 had
passed. Naturally Miss Lurene
and all her friends are much pleas
ed over her efficiency.

o,oortunity for Hereford Men

On. Of the most popular breeds
t%o.ttl. in the West is the Here
Gard. and through the efforts of
,ho Western National Stock Show
,~ssorntion the West is rapidly
coming to the front as a producer
| Of the very best in this breed.
Western conditions seem peculiar
" adapted to this breed of cattle
and the demand for the choicest
individuals for breeding purposes
Is always greater than the supply.
Al the coming show in Denver
,be American Hereford Cattle
BREEDERS Association is arranging
TO sell fifty hea l of selected indiv.
;duals from the best herds in the
country at public sale. This sale
will take place on Tuesday, Jan,
10Th, and while il is not expected
that the cattle offered will bring
auy where near their value, they
will be- scattered through the West
and will do good work for the
breed in the future. Each animal
sold is guaranteed by the associa-
ton. and they are sold without.re-
serve. The animals are selected
from the best herds in the country
and there should be a good demand
for them. The West is to be the
future breeding ground for the
beef breeds and it is the hope of
the Westert Stock Show Associa-
ton that within a few years the
western bred cattle will be able to
win over the breeding from all
other sections. 1t is the desire
that these choice cattle pass into
the hands of good breeders who
will use them in building up
good herds. Anyone desiring
furthur particulars of this sale can
address G. X. Thomas, secretary,
Kansas City, Mo.

rough weather on the Red Desert.
The herds north of the U. P.
track in that country are suffering
as much as at any time during
last winter and sheepmen are feed
ing heavily of grain wherever they
can reach their herds. Grain aud
hay both are being rushed to that
point in effort to tide over the
crisis. The hocks south of the
track are in better shape and are
doing fairly well.

Lease Law Agitation
has Returned

The America National Live
stock association, in its call recent
ly announced that an attempt will
be made at the recent session of
congress to pass the proposed lease
law, by which the government will
lease all unoccupied public domain
in the west. The w~oolgrowers
have in the past strongly opposed
this measure. Indeed, their oppo-
sition prevented the bill becoming
a law on more than one occasion.
This subject will be discussed at
great length at the Cheyenne
meeting of the Wyoming Wool
growers association on January g.
4, and some of the best posted men
on land laws and western condi-
tions will lead the debates. Gov.
Bryant B. Brooks will deliver an
address on "Land Laws, and
there is a possibility that Con-
gresham Frank w. Mondell will
also be present. Congressman
Mondell is an expert on federal
land laws, being head of the great
lands committee of the lower
house, and his presence at the
Cheyenne meeting would be help
ful in the extreme.

of Animal Industry. DR.. r. A.
Ramsey, secoud assistant, and
other leading federal official 8 will
be present and confer with the
sheepman as to the best methods
to be employed in eradicating the
malady. The state board of sheep
commissioners will meet at tn e
same time, and it's members have
invited sheepmen generally from
all over the state to attend and
make known their views, so that
when orders issue in the spring,
same will embody the best to be
had, and will incorporate the best
methods to be employed in putting
lip and leg liberation and the sore
mouth malady out of business.

Some Nice Displays

The decorations of the Saratoga
Grocery Company's windows for
the holiday season has been about
as pretty as any Saratoga has seen.
The trimmings were in evergreen
and strings of paper holly and red
wreatbs and Christmas bells.
Mrs. Dyer had a very nice dis
play of her goods and the trimm-
ing was something similar to the
Grocery Co.'S.
For a nicely trimmed and eleg-
gantly displayed line of stuff in
small windows, Jeweler Scott took
the prize. While as we say his
windows were small vet the dis
play of cut glass, jewellery and
hand painted china and many 9TH
er nice things represented in mon
ey many times larger than some
of the bigger windows. Mr..
Scott's Christmas goods have been
well patronized and by Christmas
night he will be pretty we'll sold
out.
Cosgrif Brothers Co. also mad
a very nice display in their large
window.

One OF the commonest causes OF

II much more detrimental to sheep In
winter than being exposed TO draughts.

rather than inability TO overcome H.
that SUBJECTS sheep to such exposure
Almost any man, under almost any
conditions, can devise means OF
keeping sheep out OF draughts. One
method commonly employed IL that Of
keeping the sheep either outside or In,
thus avoiding the necessity OF leaving
the entrance way continually open.
II the barn is warm one, care must
be taken to regulate the temperature
by windows open on one side. else the
barn will become too damp and warm
and the sheep will take cold upon go
Ing outside. This scheme Is a pretty
good one, as outside feeding and plen-
~ of exercise are associated with Its
proper working.
Another method Of obviating
draughts suggested by The Farmer. Is
TO set second door or gate at such
an angie Win tne resulhr one as 10 VI
rect the passage OF air into a corner
away from where the sheep lie.
Those who use open sheds have the
least trouble OF all because the circu-
lation OF air within is like that with.
out and there are no rising currents.
The only difficulty in this case arises
when the wind or storm comes from
the direction Of the open side OF the
shed: then unfortunately nothing can
be done to protect the sheep except
put them in different quarters.
| A little care and little thought ex'
pended along this direction will be
more than repaid by the increased
healthfulness and growthiness OF the
sheep.
