Care of Fall Calves.

Fall calves will require little more
care and attention. However. fresh
skimmilk, alfalfa and silage will keep
them growing nicely. When spring
comes they will be ready to be turned
out on grass and will be large enough
to get along nicely without additional
food. Calves that are intended for
sale have distinct advantage if they
are dropped in the fall. They are
larger and present a more attractive
appearance to any prospective buyer.

BILE Care to Thrive.

The farmer who carries his first
flock through the winter is apt to run
up against the rocks of ineXperienre.
If the owner is wise he will first
consider the condition of his flock.
For instance, ewes that are pregnant
will not receive the same attention
as ewes that are not nor will young
lambs being raised for ewes receive
the same treatment as the others. This
calls for three different punches. TO
secure the best results these three
classes should be separated-that Is.

not pregnant and wethers for fatten-
ing together. and lambs for breeding

Says Barons Grab Timber.
(Kettle River Journal.l

r z
Nearly 30O,OOO.00O feet Of timber Ia
the Kaniksu national forest, near New
port. will be sold April by the for
estry service. OF course, no one but
lumber barons will be able to buy 1t.
They will have ten years to move It OF.
In the meantime the buyers pay no
taxes on the standing timber but the
value continues to increase. And yet
the Pinchot fanatics and Fasteners
ignorant of the West say that the rich
lumbermen are fighting the national
forest system The profits from this
timber sale now go to q few wealthy
people. In previous years 1t was re-
served for the needful homesteader
and empire builder, the practical con-
servationist, to help him in raising
funds to make the land productive and
the country fit to make home In. 1t
is admitted that in number Of In
stances the land was taken for specu-
lative purposes, the same as is now
being done by those buying from the
forestry service, but even In those
comparatively few cases poor home
s,eader from whom the lumberman
bought timber land received few hun
bred dollars, sufficient to give him a
start on the road to better things than
a bare existence.

Some Election Advice.

Don't botch UP another primary law
in non-partisan form or any other. Cut
the whole expensive farce out. Let all
who aspire to official positions simply
ray filing fee to the proper officer of
state or county and receive a permit
to announce and advertise themselves
as candidates and have their names
printed on the general election ballots.
The voter can make his choice among
candidates as easily and as intelligent
ly at the general election as the pri-
mary, and it will cost the candidate
nc more to make campaign for cleo
ton than for nomination. Apply the
fees on the expenses of the general
election.
