Brood Sows.

In selecting gifts from any young lit
ter for raising as breeders. the number
of teats should always be ascertained.
A SOW can rear no more little ones
than she has teats. for each keeps jeal-
ously to its own. says the Rural
World of England And, singularly
enough, If one of the litter dies. it Is
rarely. If ever, that one of the sur
viving youngsters takes to the spare
teat. The number of teats that sows
have varies from 10 to 16, but IA is
quite goodly array. The numbers
vary with the breeds bit, and most
OF our big, free-breeding sows are
pretty we'll furnished with teats. This
is as 1t should be, else many little
piggy would come on the scene with
no font to run to.

Chicken Pests.

Chickens are attacked by a number
of parasitic insects and nits, the most
common being various species of
chicken lice, chicken fleas and ticks.
These pests when present in great
numbers are great drain upon energy
of the birds. Spray the henhouse
walls with kerosene or use white.
wash to which carbolic acid has been
added in the proportion of four ounces
to one gallon of whitewash. Pyrenth.
ram powder or other suitable dust In
secticide may he applied to the bodies
of the poultry.

Good Draft Horses.

A heavy draft horse should be long
ribbed. If a horse is short-ribbed he
is light in his middle and is nearly al
ways a poor feeder. His stomach is
too small to contain enough feed TO
serve him from one meal to another.
When put into hard work he general
ly has a fagged-out appearance. A
light centered horse seldom weighs
well, and weight in a draft horse, if
1t comes from bone. sinew and mus
Gle, goes a long way toward deter
mining his commercial value.

various communities in Colorado
have for several years been success
full in cooperative effort for the grow
ing and marketing of various kinds OF
melons and fruits. Examples are the
cantaloupe growers and the fruit
growers associations.
The live stock men have also been
organized. The local stockmen's as
societions, through a state organiza-
tion, are able to command many bene-
fits from the state that would other
wise not be secured, such as adequate
records of brands. protection of focks
from the depredations OF human and
other enemies, and control OF disease.
Through representatives In the legis-
lature and state administration the
united live stock interests are able to
secure much of the states aid and at
tention.
Cooperation in live stock work.
however. can be carried further, and
another class of benefits secured. Such
benefits are represented by the COM
munity system of work. Ninety-five
per cent of the farmers of Denmark
are members of cooperative dairies.
Cattle. there, are slaughtered cooper
atively and eggs are handled by a CO.
operative egg export society. Wau-
kesha county, Wisconsin, Is breeding
both Percheron horses and Berkshire
swine on the community plan.
In using the community plan, the
farmers organize In counties or other
small units for the production of a
certain kind or breed Of live stock.
If PercheroE horses are selected the
organization will buy one or more
stations and will contract In behalf
of several of the farmers for large
number of pure bred mares, thereby
getting much more favorable prices
than single farmer coule secure.
The organization will provide for
the rotation of the stations through
the district that all may secure the
services of a good stallion, and yet
not be forced to practise in-breeding.
Once the industry is on its feet, a
market must be provided. The or
ganization is able to advertise for
the farmers of the community much
more cheaply than each can do for
himself. The annual sales of pure
bred stuff, widely advertised, may be
conducted by the breed organization.
The organization, as a rule, keeps in
touch with the experiment station of
the state and secures what aid and
help the station can furnish. 1t also
promotes the study of breeding prob
lens and aids in the dissemination OF
knowledge of feeding and caring for
pure bred animals and means for
more useful and intelligent citizen
ship. st
The islands of Jersey and Guernsey.

wide reputation for the excellence of

districts in New York are widely
known for Holstein cattle. Certain
districts in Wisconsin specialize in
Guernsey cattle and in other lines.
as before mentioned. The Duroc-Jer-
sey men of the Arkansas valley, Col
orado, are now organized. No doubt
other communities will find 1t Wise
and profitable to specialize on a cer-
tain breed or breeds and promote the

ONE OF LAST MEMBERS
JAMES GANG FOUND DEAD

Pasco, Wash. Jan. 31.-James Law
son, one OF the last survivors OF the
one time notorious Jesse James gang
OF bandits, died at his ranch home
near Pasco this week, and was buried
here. Lawson came to Washington
80 years ago, after the gang which
terrorized the Mississippi river states
for years, had been broken up. and
took up a homestead near Page. in
this county, and 1t was on this place
he died alone.
The body was found by neighbors
and brought TO this city.
According 20 the old timers in this
section. Lawson amused himself in
the early days OF this country by
shooting up saloons and making the
initiated tenderfoot dance to the
whistle of bullets. For years he had
lived the life of a recluse on the place
where he died.

Farmers on the north side of the
Umatilla river who haul their wheat
to this city will have a new bridge
over which to come into the city next
fall If all the plans of the city are

the building of new Main street
bridge was taken today when surveys
were made by Gerry Kimbrell assist
ed by e. w. Brown.
Although it is not yet definitely de-
cided just what style OF bridge will
be built. 1t is almost assured that it
will be a steel truss bridge with the
truss work underneath and none
overhead. There will be a thirty foot
roadway with an eight foot walk on
each side for pedestrians and the
bridge will be n two span structure
with a pier in the center of the chan
mel. According to all ideas so far Sc
cured, such bridge will prove the
most practical

WORLD CHAMPIONS
FOR THE ROUNDUP
EXHIBITION MANAGER is
NEGOTIATING FOR MARVELS
Bill Pickett and Bert Weir Will Prob
ably BE Among Most Famous At
fractions at Coming Big Show.

Spectators at the second annual
Roundup next fall may have an op-
portunity of witnessing some feats of
skill and daring such as have never
before been presented to an audience
in this section Of the country If the
efforts of Exhibition Manager Fred
Earl to secure certain wild west per-
formers meet with success. For some
time he has been in communication
with Bill Pickett, the most renowned
of all bulldoggers, and Bert Weir,
champion roper of the world, and he
has just received letters from both of
these men relative to appearing as at
fractions at the Roundup.
Pickett states that he is very de-
sirous to come to Pendleton for the
occasion but is unable AT present to
announce anything definite as to his
arrangements as his negotiations with
Miller Bros, owners of 101 Ranch,
are as yet unsettled. Weir, however,
has given a more satisfactory answer
to the invitation which has been ex-
tended him. He asks that his trans
portation and that Of his pony be paid
to Pendleton and back and that all
expenses while in the city be de-
frayed by the association. Further
more he is anxious to appear in a
steer roping contest with any cowboy
for side bet of from $1,000 to $1O,-
600, both contestants to rope and hog
tie thirty steers, ten each day. AS
he holds the worlds record for this
event. it is considered doubtful wheth-
er any cowboy can be found who
would care to risk his money in a
contest with him.
Pickett is probably better known
than any other cowboy in the world
because of the daredeviltry and reck-
lessness which has characterized his
life before the public gaze. His chief
fame was derived from his hand to-
hand encounter with a fierce, man
hating Mexican bull, which feat has
never before been attempted and per-
haps never will be again. Twenty
thousand people witnessed this battle
between man and brute, and when it
became evident to the throng that one
lone American was giving a demon
STRATUM Oh NERVE COuTdBe, SlESI6 III
and daring that was putting to shame
the boasted prowess of the most not
ed of their professional torreadors,
they rose up in their wrath and hurled
sticks, bottles, stones and knives at
him SO that he was exposed to the
fury of mad crowd and mad bull
at the same time. He was saved
from both only by the timely inter-
ference of one of his fellow Ameri-
cans who waved a red shirt in front
of the bull just as a pottle struck
Pickett full in the side and caused
him to loosen his hold upon the
horns of the infuriated animal.
Pickett has a mixture of Indian
and African blood in MIN and is
known in the southwest as THE Dus-
ky Demon" He is a giant in stature
and strength and has never yet met
steer that he could not throw with
his bare hands. Mr.. Earl is partic-
ularly desirous of securing him as
an attraction and will offer him every
inducement

Vernon Doesn't Like East.

Major Lee Moorhouse is in receipt
of a letter from Buffalo Vernon, the
bulldogger of steers who was such a
prominent feature of the first annu-
al Roundup, which was written from
Twin Falls, Mass. Vernon says the
far east is no place for a western
man and he declares he has a great
yearning for the land of his birth.
He is growing weary of the life of
a vaudeville performer, he says, and
is anticipating the day when he can
once again get astride of a cayuse
and twirl his rope over the long horns
of wild steer.

.P|NOCLE M|CR0BE
STRIKES PENDLETON

Walla Walla is not alone to enjoy
the distinction of being the one city
where the pinocle microbe has
been inoculated into the sporting
blood of the populace. for Pendleton
too has been seized with a craze for the
great card game and ITO meld or not
to melt is just as much the question
of the day here as it is in the Gar
den City. A pinocle tournament was
begun yesterday at the Welch Cigar
store in which twenty of the most IA
nous of card fiends are entered to
decide to whom is to go the honor and
title Of champion.
By last night the series of games
had gotten fairly under way and ex-
element was intense as card after
card was drawn from the stack in the
center while the contestants waited
with ill-contained impatience for the
card which was to make one hundred
and fifty trumps or a hundred aces.
Up until noon today Dick Sullivan
and Raspberry" Humphrey were in
the lead of the field and they were
running neck and neck.
By the terms of the tournament,
each contestant is to play one game
with every other player entered which
will give him nineteen games to play.
Jake Welch has hung up two prizes,
a meerschaum pipe for the winner
and a box of cigars for the man hav-
ing the second highest percentage.
There are some expert pinocle play
ers in the city and it will be case OF
Greek meeting Greek when some of
them clash.
