STOCK SHIPPING Law
Regulations Given out by Washing
ton Departments Covers Trans
porting of all Live Stock

The following announcement made
by the bureau of animal industry at
Washington, ID. c., is Of interest to
all the livestock shippers of the
west. An extended Investigation of
the feeding, watering and resting
of sheep, cattle and swine and other
animals while in the course of inter-
state transportation. 1t reads;
The mount of feed which
should be given to different classes
of animals varies with the length
OF time between feeding and the
weights of the animals. For each
"a hours the rations of horses and
cattle should not be less than one
and a quarter pounds Of hay to
each hundred weight of animal; and
for hogs, not less than one pound
of shelled corn or It's equivalent in
ear corr or other grain, to each
hundred weight Of animal. For
periods greater or less than "a
hours, the ration should be greater
or less in the same proportion.
THE only practicable method of
railroads to transport animals other
than hogs, without unloading dur
ing each period prescribed by the
statute for rest, water and feeding.
are in palace or similar stock cars
and with emigrant outfits. There
are cases in which exceptional facil-
tiles complying with the law make
unloading unnecessary, for instance.
specially equipped cars conveying
show animals and blooded stock.
In such cases care should be taken
to observe the law. In all cases.
If animals are not unloaded, suffi-
cient space to permit all animals
to lie down in the cars at the
same time must be provided.
Hogs may be fed, watered and
rested, without unloading provided
(a) the cars are loaded so as to
allow all the animls to have suffi-
cient space to lie down at the same
time. OBJ the trains are stopped for
sufficient time to allow the water
ing troughs to be prepared and al
low every hog time to drink his
fill, and (c) are is exercised to
distribute properly through each
car deck sufficient shelled corn, or
its equivalent in ear corn or other
grain, for each hog.
"All pens into which animals are
unloaded must contain adequate
facilities for feeding and watering
and suitable space on which animals
can lie down comfortably for rest
ing. Covered pens should be pro-
vided for unloading animals in
severe weather"

CLAIM wEEvIL CONQUERED
Government Experts Say They Have
Another Pest Practically Put
Out of business.

Government experts are of the
belief that the boil weevil is no
longer a serious menace to cotton.
Despite the large number of weevils
this year Louisiana and Mississippi
bid fair to produce record crops.
Careful attention is declared to be
the secret of the victory over the
pest. BY this Is meant the keeping
of the fields clear of litter rubbish,
picking off the punctured sbolls and
burning them, and exposing as much
OF the plant to the sun as possible.
This latter is accomplish by leaving
more space between rows and plants
and by trimming out as much Of
the plant as possible to prevent too
much weed" The farmers gem
orally appear to have followed the
advice of the government experts
along these lines. Even the negro
farmers seem to have learned that
1t is money in their pockets to keep
their fence corners cleaned up so
that they will not afford harboring
for the oyer-the-winter
weevils.

That 1t was Hugh Whitney, the
notorious Idaho and Wyoming out

bank Of Rigby Of $500 Tuesday af-
ternoon, continues to be the firm
belief of local officers, who are
concentrating their efforts in an
attempt to trace the robbers move
ments since the afternoon Of the
crime, says the Pocatello Tribune.
For some unknown reason Sheriff
Lowry Of this city was not notified
of the holdup until the following
day; In fact, his first knowledge of
the affair was gained from the
newspapers. Sheriff Harropp of
Fremont county overlooked a big
bet when he neglected to notify the
sheriff's office here, as effective
work might have been done from
this point. II the saddle horse

fact would have been known IN time

DRY FARM CROPS

Late Rains Assure Biggest Crop

gated Farms and "a Great De-
mand for These Lands,

State Land Commissioner George
A. Day is much increased in the
dry farm situation as represented in
the southeastern part Of this state,
and in his expressed opinion, dry
farming is now one of the decided
factors in the state and dry farm
lands will be eagerly sought in the
future, as the experimental stage
has been passed and even with sea-
sons when the moisture is a great
deal less than this year, with the
scientific cultivation better under
stood a crop is certain and many
varieties are being grown now
which would have been considered
impossible a few years ago.
In commenting on the local situa-
ton Mr.. Day says: ss-
This viii be the greatest year
In the history of idaho for dry farm
wheat. l confidently expect the
crop to run to 1000, 900 bushels.
The crop is now assured and no ad-
dltional rain is needed. As a mat
ter Of fact the dry farm crops this
year are better than the irrigated
crops. ~ iatfs ffr- r,,

was never anything like the demand

farming and perhaps more favorable
seasons have brought great success

OF the cars were large, so the tonnage

The work prosecuted on tho orc channel
consists OF raises into the ere from tho

extends the entire length of the property.
An Immense quantity of ore is blocked out
