County Veterinarian,s Report.

The annual report of County
Veterinarian J. ]. Kenwell has been
submitted to the county court. The
report as a review of the work of
the veterinarian for the past year
and contains many valuable sugges-
tions with reference to the diseases
and caring for horses.
According to the report there
have been few cases of strangles
among colts and young horses, but
the losses as a result if this malady
have been few The report also
says that the disease known as stag
gers has made it's appearance and
further states that it is apt to con-
tinue until the grazing season COM
mences in the spring when it will
disappear again until the horses are
again put on grain or turned out
into the stubble field.
The veterinarian says in the re-
port that there is no question but
that the disease results mainly from
the excessive feeding of oat hay, or
from turning the horses into the
stubble fields, and in support of this
contention cites the fact that ninety
nine per cent of the cases which
have come under his observation
were of horses which had been fed
on oat hay. AS a preventive of the
disease it is suggested that the
horsemen provide another character
of hay, such as wheat, timothy, al
falfa, or clover and that the oat hay
be used for cows.
Chambers Well Under Control.
Chambers, says the report, is well
under control in the county. It's
first appearance during the quarter
was among the Arell horses, but
those who were affected have been
destroyed, and the remainder were
| put under quarantine, and are still
under quarantine and will be sub
jected to another examination in the
near future.
In concluding his report the vet.
erinarian advises the horsemen and
! stockmen in general to provide their
stock with sufficient nutritious food
and shelter, and in emphasizing the
latter says, when ! say shelter,
/ do not mean some open head or a
! dark stall in the barn, but a place
where there is ample light, pure air
without drafts and plenty of bed
ding" He also suggests that the
stockmen and farmers subscribe for
some authoritive and recognized pa
per dealing with their industry as
the information to be secured from
it will be beneficial and raise the
standar Of the industry in general

A YANKEE
IN THE WEST

An enterprising Yankee from the
granite hills of New Hampshire went
out to Montana last summer as the
guest of a western kinsman and
while his travelling expenses were
paid for him he went rather grudg-
ingly. All the way he made unfa-
vorable comments. The barns and
houses were small; there weren't
any trees. 1t was too far from Bos-
tom the towns were new and raw
and the absence of rocks and his
tory made him very peevish, says
an exchange.
He stopped off to look over the
country at Waller, Mont. where a
new irrigation system was being es-
tablished under the act which pro-
vides that the government furnish
the land, the state hire a contractor
to build the DAM canals, bitches,
etc, and the settler file on 40 to
100 acres, paying back to the state
the proportionate cost of the water
works plus so cents an acre for the
land The idea of getting virgin
soil for so cents an acre and a per-
petual water right at COST struck
the keen Yankee. Grass land with
neither sage brush, rocks nor
stumps, that would grow 54 bushels
of wheat per acre looked good to
him He filed on 100 acres, paying
$3.50 per acre down and agreed TO
nay the balance during a period Of
IA years.
Now here comes the joke Ad-
iacent to this irrigated land was
considerable high land which could
not be wate"od. Much of 10 was but
p few feet above the ditch" yet on
that account it could be obtained
for a nominal sum. The Yankee
had analyses of the soil made and
found it extremely rich i'm phos-
pilates. nitrogen and potassium In
fact it was almost as high in these
elements as some of the fertilizers
he and his New Hampshire neigh
bors had been buying to put on their
barren soil. He devised a scheme
for skimming off the tops of the
high points and shipping the stuff
east for fertilierz
AS the intermountain soil in those
valleys Is so feet deep he had
enough left 10 last long and the sur
face was lowered sufficiently so that
he could put in bitches and irrigate
the whole tract Thus to secure ir-
rigated land for so cents to $40 per
acre and sell OF the high spots as
by-product, remained for a shrewd
Yankee.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING BLAMED
ON FARMER
Mayor of Spokane RefuteS
James J. Hills Statement
to That Effect.

Nelson S. Pratt, mayor of Spo-
kane, a successful farmer and lum-
herman in the Mississippi valley and
the Pacific Northwest, takes excep-
tion to the sweeping statement by
James ]. Hill that the present high
cost of living is chargeable to the
extravagances, carelessness and lack
of thrift of the agricultural classes
of the country, saying:
GAS a result of recent visit to
several of the largest districts in the
midle western an Pacific states, l
am prepared to say there has never
been a time when general farming
was conducted along more econom1-
cal lines than at present. In fact,
the methods of today are marvels to
those who farmed land in the sos.
Had we been as skilled and thor
ough then as are the farmers of to-
day, we certainly would have been
equally successful.
''It is not overstating the case
when I say tina tthe modern grower
conducts his farm along the same
lines that prevail in well organ
lied business establishment, and as
a result he is not only making a
good living and eucating his child
ren, but is also putting money into
improvements, as well as into the
bank.
"'It is idle to talk to charge the
high cost of living to the farmer as
it must be plain to any one who has
studied the subject that at least
three causes contribute to increasing
prices of the Necessities of life. The
large production of gold during the
last few years is an important factor
in that it has resulted in making
money cheap, and, to a great extent,
no doubt, is responsible for in
creases in prices. Cheap money
means high prices.
Perhaps the greatest factor in the
high cost of living is the tariff,
which enables manufacturers to
combine and compel the consumers
to pay enormous and unreasonable
prices. Such farm products as beef
and pork are controlled entirely by
the so-called beef trust, while but
ter, eggs, cheese and poultry are
handled by cold storage companies
and kindred combinations, and the
prices of cereals are fixed largely by
the speculative boards of trade.
II hold no brief for the farmers
of the country, but from aneXper-
ience of almost lifetime as farm
er, born and raised on a farm,
know that the system employed dur
ing my time holds no comparison to
the present methods of farming. In
tensive agriculture, with the use OF
water supplied by artificial means,
was then largely an experiment, and
so-called dry-farming, or more prop
erly soil and moisture conservation,

was in it's very infancy. These meth
DDS are successes today. The agri-
cultural colleges and experiment
stations have also been and are
strong factors in advancing the in
dustry.
Il challange Mr.. Hill to show any
period prior to 1894, when there
were larger acre yields of grain,
fruit, grasses and roots than at pres
ent, and with this l would also ask
him to point to any year when the
farmer were more prosperous than
they are today. Extravaganza and
lack of thrift and progress and
