LIVE STOCK
a Few Facts and Figures from the
Census Report,

A preliminary report OF the thir-
teenth census, giving statistics con
corning domestic animals in Minneso,
ia, has just been issued and is ex-
ceedingly interesting to those who are
watching the live stock development
OF the northwest. These figures cover
only the state of Minnesota, but in a
general way are typical of the North
western states. From these stats
tics we CLEAN the following interesting
facts:
"The total number of farms in the
State in 1910 was 156,137 OF these,
96.9 per cent, or ISL 1886, reported do
nestle animals; 93.9 per cent, or 146,-
556 reported cattle; ola per cent, or
142,693 reported horses or colts; 69.5
per cent, or 1OS,515. reported swine;
|15.7 per cent or 24,549 reported sheep
or lambs; and 1.S per cent, or 2,SO9
reported mules or mule colts.
"The aggregate value of all domestic
animals, poultry. and bees, on farms
and ranges only, in the State in 1910,
was reported as 61,52S,OOO as com
pared with SS9,o65,o00 in 1900, the
amount Of increase being $72,465,000,
and the rate S1.4 per cent.
'The total value of the domestic
animals was reported as $156,659, 900
in 1910 as against $S6,621,000 in 1900
the increase amounting to $70,O3S, 900
or 500 per cent.

| "Horses and colts had greater
value than any other classes of do
nestle animals, both in 1910 and in
1900. The total value reported for
horses and colts in 1910 was $780,
900, while in 1900 it was $42,255,ooo

TO
THRESH

Inc last smear OF the harvest is
hardly in shock before {: number of
farmers are anxious to thresh; and
seldom a season passes that some
farmer in the community doesn't find
himself in a quandary to know when
lis the best time to thresh.
There are many things that may
be said, both for and against shock
threshing and stack-threshing; and, in
deciding what to do. the farmer must
be guided largely by his particular
case and the conditions to be met.
Shock threshing appeals to many
farmers, from the fact that when it is
over there is nothing to hinder taking
up the general fall work and fastening
it's completion without delay. Others
are favorable to stack-threshing but,
having had variable success in getting
their grain well stacked in previous
seasons, they are inclined to favor
shock-threshing.
If shock-threshing is really practical
lit will be found so upon either the
large farm, where there is ample help
to carry on the work, or where three
or four farmers can cooperate and
supply the necessary help. No at
tempt should be made to start a run
of more than six to eight days of
steady threshing; as this will usually
occupy about two weeks, and possibly
longer. A longer run would mean
that the grain of the last farmer to be
thresAed for would be exposed to more
or less rain; and, no matter how we'll
shocked, some damage is bound to re-
suit With shock-threshing the grain
must sweat in the bin; and, where
,,threshlng is resumed too soon after a
rain; serious damage to it's quality is
bound to occur. The most satisfac-
tory way to apportion the possible
damages in shock-threshing among a
group Of four or five farms is to start
in and thresh full day on each farm,
and then complete the threshing on
these farms, taking them in reverse
order.
Stack threshing may appear trifle
more expensive than shock threshing;
|but it has in return several things
1 which commend it to the small farm
Ter, or 10 the farmer who is following
diversified farming. Stack-threshed
grain will usually bring premium O
one to two cents per bushel over thu
laverage of shock-threshed grain, be
cause pf its better color and weight
The threshing usually takes place at
ter many Of the fall rains are over;
and, as consequence, the straw is
savedItn much better shape, and is fa1
more useful for feeding.
Experience has shown that tn
chances Of waste and damage ar
more numerous with shock-threshine
than with stack threshing, and as all
cannot be first in hock-threshfng, II
lis we'll not to forget how to build 9
/ cool grain stack. 10. M. Olson, Elk

CUT SEED CORN

Don't forget to cut all corn intended
for seed purposes just as soon as the
ears are we'll dented. The stalk may
seem a trif1e green, but the seed will
fill out and cure properly in the shock.
Corn cut in this way will have better

SEWER PIPE DROPS

Two years ago the city of Aber-
deem was paying $500 per foot, F. o.
B., Aberdeen. for 24-inch vitrified
sewer pipe, and today the same pipe
is being placed, 10 feet under grade,
on B street for $1.39 per foot. The
drop in price is believed to have been
caused by the establishment of the
Aberdeen Glazed Cement Pipe works
in this city. If such be found the
case, it would seem but fair that in
calling for sewer bids, the city should
specify the kind of pipe that is manu-
factured at home, particularly as the
quality of the pipe appears to be un-
questioned

Date for Special Election to
Vote on Commission
Form is Set
WILLiVOTE NOVEMBER l3
Petition is Presented Contain
ing Required Number
of Names

special election to decide whether
the city of Aberdeen shall adopt the
commission form of government, has
been called for Monday, November 13,
the call being issued by Mayor J.
w. Parks last night following the
presentation of petition containing
the necessary names to the city coun-
Gil
The petition presented was a sup
Elemental one and contained 1871
names. Miss Benjamin's report show
ed three names with wrong address
es, leaving more than the required
number of names on the petition
Following this, Mayor J. w. Parks
issued his proclamation calling for
the special election
Now that the citizens of Aberdeen
Lave an opportunity to vote on this
matter, it is time that an organization
be formed and the work of educat-
ing the people on this popular form
of government begun. The lesson to
be gained by Hoquiams economy, the
commission saving that city more
than $500 last month, is one good
argument in favor of the new sys-
TEN. That cities all over the coun-
try are adopting the new form, not
because it is fad, but because it
is giving results, is another good ar
gument. why the commission form
should be in vogue, instead of the
present unweildy system of running
municipality.
The matter will soon be up to the
electors of Aberdeen and it should
be given consideration 1t is busi-
ness method of running a city, not
a political way, and this is the rea
son why it is being adopted through
out the country.

COUNTY FAIR PASSES
PUBLIC EXPECTATION
DlSSLAY OF CATTLE, POULTRY, HORSES, GRAIN AND
FRUITS AMAZE THOSE WHO ATTEND EXHl-
BlTION IS GREAT SUCCESS

With exhibits of cattle, poultry,
grain, vegetables and fruits, uneXcel-
led in Southwestern Washington the
Chehalis county fair opened it's doors
Tuesday at noon.
The transformation of the park and
pavilion into the scene of festivity
and show, surprised the public to
such an extent that many seemed lost
on entering the park gate.
When the sightseer had crossed the
threshold of the pavilion and examin-
ed the exhibits from the various sec
tions of Chehalis county, feeling of
surprise was the result.
The work necessary to get so fine
an exhibit together, in the short space
of time, speak well of the executive
ability of Manager J. E. Calder and
his able assistants.
That Chehalis county eXcells prin-
cipally in root vegetables, there is
no doubt. Huge potatoes, weighing
5 pounds each, or 16 tipping the
scales at 43 pounds, speak mutely
of the productiveness of the soil of
this new farming section.
Cabbage, pumpkins, Rutabagas, par
ships, etc, etc, of mammoth size and
weight are seen on every hand. On
the walls and in pans, are to be found
wheat, rye, oats and barley of high
est grade. The oats run 100 bushels
to the acre, while wheat of a hard
variety yields As bushels to the high
land and 60 bushels of soft wheat in
the low lands to the acre.
Fruits of every Kind, from large lu-
cious apples of all kinds and colors
to peaches and grapes, are seen in
the various east end valley displays
Two Fine Exhibits
The exhibits of Elma and Oakville
are highly credtable and speak of
progressiveness in the accumulation
of so many fine specimens for exhibit
ton.
The Oakville exhibit is under he
supervision of G. J. Taylor, ex,coun-
ty treasurer, who resides in that sec
tion. On the wall above the exhibit
is the inscription made of oats: why
Not Oakville." Three tables loaded
to their fullest capacity show what
Oakville can produce. Among the
exhibit is found a mammoth Hubbard
squash, a fine grain exhibit, mush
melons, peaches, grapes, threshed
grain, cucumbers and box of ripe
tomatoes.
The exhibit from Elma is under the
care of Ed Liddell and his arrange
ment of the produce exhibited is tas-
ty. The most important exhibit is
that of the Elma Canning company,
showing several cases of canned
fruits and vegetables. The Elma
Shoe factory has a creditable exhibit,
while threshed grains, White Russian
and Yellow Mangels, Bagas, Potatoes,
Hickory and Walnuts make up a fine
display.

HAVE HEARD
HIS DEFENSE
President Taft Has Had Re-
spectful Hearing in the
Western States
SWINGS AROUND CIRCLE
People Generally Like Taft

Absolutely His Record

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-(SpecialD }
The president has been in the west.
I he people have listened to his de-
Tense. And they still believe he did
wrong in vetoing the honest efforts
of both branches of congress to re-
duce the awful cost of living in the
United States.
Such is the tenor of the news that
has come over the wires from the
special correspondents who either ac
companied or trailed Mr.. Taft on his
10000 mile swing
Arthur Henning, Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune,
and found that the people generally
liked Mr. Taft personally, but abso-
lutely disapproved his record as pres-
dent
Angus McSween, the celebrated
( Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American, (also
republican,, wired from Topeka
Kans., as follows:
president Taft did not make a
dent in the surface of strong pro.
gressive sentiment in the state of
Kansas during his visit here.
1t developed, too, that great
many men, in all walks of life, can
didly admitted that next year they
propose to vote TO ra democrat for
president. Notwithstanding they al
before had voted for a republican. A
great many of these referred to the
magnificent record of democrats in
congress last session, and frankly
admitted that since the democrats
had shown real ability to govern, and
govern we'll, it was no more than
their due that they should be given
greater responsibility.
Legitimate Business Safe
Chairman A. o. Stanley, of the
steel trust investigating committee,
says the republicans are endeavoring
to create the impression that the
democratic investigation of the steel
trust is in the nature of an attack
on the steel business. He denied that
this is tue.
"Republican newspapers" said Mr..
tSanley, "are trying to make the cOun-
try believe are prosecuting the steel
corporation. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. The investiga.
ton has been conducted with the ut
most fairness, and not a single one
of the steel men who testified fail
ed to thank the committee for the
fair and generous way in which he
had been treated.
"The democrats realize the neces.
sity for constructive action. They
want the country to feel that no leai-
innate business is going to suffer at
their hands, and that no business
which is not legitimate is going to
prosper if they can help it.
"The democratic party is not bent
upon ruthless policy of destruction,
and no legitimate business need fear
that it will be treated unfairly"
