will the ewes If turned into the open
during the hours of daylight.
There are many farmers who keep
their lambs and ewes housed up until
the pasture Is long enough to turn
them in permanently, says an Indiana
writer in the Farm Progress. Even
though the lambs are very young, q
long sun bath daily will work wonders
with them. 1t will be good for the
ewes, and still better for the lambs
If possible, the southern side of the
sheep barn should be utilized for this
purpose, as it will keep the young
sters out of the wind most of the
time.
Play is the very blood of the young
lamb and when he is playing he 10
growing. II he lies down in the wind
he will chill easily, so the southern
hillslope for the pasture lot in the lee
of the barn will make an ideal place
for him to spend the days while he Ia
waiting to be turned into the summer
pasture.
Young life needs exercise II 1t Is to-
do well. The lambs that are kept In
the shed from the time they are
dropped until they are a few weeks
old will get bad start. 1t is mistaken
kindness to house them in close quar-
tiers when their young legs are aching
to be out in the open. They will be
far more thrifty If allowed to spend
hours in the sunshine. or course
they must be sheltered on rainy. chilly
days, and in long periods OF COOL
damp weather when the wind is high.
It takes some time and good deal
of trouble to shift the ewes and lambs
from their quarters in the shed TO
the lots and back again daily. In
freedom from diseases, quick growth
and general vigor 1t will be worth all
that 1t costs the shepherd.

FEED MAKES Pig PROFITABLE
Good Feeder Keeps Improving HE
Herd In Quality and individuality
Good Ration Counts.

There are too many farmers and
even breeders who seem to hold the
idea that a pig can feed himself and
that their whole duty ends when they
have supplied the food. A good feed-
er can keep improving his herd IN
ouality and individuality and Is there
fore progressive and successful Wnlie
the poor feeder may take the best to
be had, and in five generations be BACK
to scrubs. This is the difference be-
tween good feeding and poor feeding.
This Is where the feeder has more
influence than the feed.
II is a clean waste to give the pig
80 or 80 per cent of his feed IN corn
or meal when perhaps not more than
one-half that amount Is needed in
building the various structures OF his
body. The balanced ration is what
counts. That is intended to be COM
posed of such materials as are needed
by the pig to build all of his growth
to furnish the bone and the muscle,
and all parts in proper proportion. 1t
Is shown time and again that two val
liable feeds, when combined, make a
better feed than either one separately,
because 1t comes nearer balancing the
ration.
1t Is only of late that the opinion
is spreading among farmers in general
that the feeder is one Of the important
factors, both in the success of breed
er and also that of pork raiser. The
modern hog is an artificial product
and is more readily responsive to good
treatment, or the reverse, than any
other farm ANNA! No matter how
much you may pay for pedigree or
individuality, If you do not know how
to feed your hogs will be but little bet
ter than scrubs.

RESULT OF A FARMERS DREAM
(American Falls Press)


We want to tell our readers the
story of a farmers dream.
This farmer dreamed that he
raised 1000 bushels of wheat one
year and nothing more. He sold the
wheat to 1000 different people at
5000 bushel. The purchasers did
not pay for the wheat when they got
it, in fact the sum being only a small
one, many of them forgot it and the
others simply neglected payment, till
a more convenient season. The man
who sold the wheat having no other
income was soon in need of money.
He had plenty coming but to get it
he must see a thousand different
men. He hated to speak about so
small an amount for fear his neigh
bors would think him hard up. The
result was he actually came to want
with $4,000 due him and all the
debtors were "good.'
Awakened he was relieved to find
that it was only a dream but he at
once made a vow and as soon as
breakfast was over hitched up old
Dobbin and drove to town. Right
to the printing office he went
and paid the two dollars that he
knew was past due, with the remark
Hereafter I pay in advance

half the concentrates and half the
roughage in the morning, and half in
the evening. Cows will soon become
accustomed to this routine. In the
winter they should be allowed to
spend the day in the stall, and for
two or three hours about midday
they should not be disturbed. Turn
ing them out into the yard, or giving
them access to a straw-stack or field
of corn stalks, will cause them to
shrink in milk, no matter how much
or how well they may be fed in the
morning and. evening. No more feed
should be given them than they will
eat up. The managers should be abso-
lutely clean and free from any feed,
during the day and night.

Freely-keep Barns Clean.
(By T. L. HAECKER.)

(By T. L. HAECKER)
II cows are fed at stated intervals,
they will not worry for food until the
time for feeding arrives If 1t is then
given to them in proper quantity, they
will eat and lie down, chew the cud
and sleep or rest contentedly until
time for another feed. First give the
grain mixture, and milk the cows
while they are eating it. This routine
is recommended because, with some
cows, the milk comes more freely
while they are eating that portion of
their ration which has the most rel
ish. Cured roughage should be fed
after milking because it fills the air
In the barn with dust. Succulent feed,
like silage and roots should also be
fed after milking, because Of the odor
that it gives. Feeding twice day
will bring better returns than more
frequent and wasteful feeding. Give

Feed Your Cows Well.

1T sometimes happens that farmers
are in possession Of extra good cows,
but not realizing the amount of feed
required by cows giving large yield
they are soon allowed TO shrink in
milk because the feed given does not
provide sufficient nutriment. While
cows in good condition can, for a
time, give more milk than the feed
provides, by drawing upon the fat
stored in the body, yet If the grain is
not gradually increased as the cows
lose in body weight there will soon
follow an abnormal shrinkage in milk
flow and also a decrease in the quality
of milk yielded"

A MOST DESERVED HONOR.

The late Harvey w. Scott, so long
editor of the Portland Oregonian,
was one of the original founders of
the Oregon Historical society, and
was an active member and director
of that society up to the time of his
death.
In his honor the society has de-
voted a quarterly number of it's mag
azine to a memorial number. 1t is
a most deserved honor to the memory
of the great editor. He began a
laborer for wages on a farm. He
educated himself and in 1865, then
twenty seven years of age, he began
his work upon the Oregonian. Then
for forty-eight years, he pursued his
work, steadily improving himself and
his journal, and all the time keeping
a little in advance of his people in
anticipating the needs and perform
ing the work of advancing every good
cause in which Oregon was directly
concerned, and beyond Oregon what
the nation, and especially the great
west, was most concerned with.
He was not always right but he
was always honest and his trenchant
pen was the creates: civilizing froce
in Oregon.
He wanted Oregon to be the great
est Of states on merit. He wanted
the schools perfect; he wanted the
public opinion of the state always

GREENWAY SAYS CON-
DITIONS ARE BETTER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

A well known mining man living
IN the Jerome mining district pass
ed through Prescott yesterday en-
route home from the southern part
OF the state, and when seen at the
depot expressed himself as more
hopeful than ever concerning the
copper situation.
While at Bisbee I saw Captain
John {. Greenway, general manager
OF the Calumet & Arizona Copper
Company" he said, land he has Just
returned from a stay of several
weeks in the east. mostly New York,
his principal business being to look
over the copper situation for him
self and know first-handed what to
depend on. He told me the outlook
for not only copper, but for bust
ness generally, in New York was
improving every week. Every line OF
business is showing marked pro-
gress toward former prosperity,
more so than any time since the
commencement of the European
war, is about the way Mr.. Green
way put it, generally speaking. He
said that he had been so favorably
impressed that he came home pre-
pared to say positively that so far
as his company is concerned it will
continue operations in all depart
ments at the present rate. with the
probability OF an increase to nor
NAL conditions in the near future.
He declared that the greater part
of the production of the c. & A.
is being readily sold. and that while
they had fifteen million pounds of
copper in storage in New York
they were in no manner alarmed
as to either the sale of this or OF
what they could turn out at the pres
ent rate OF production. The quota
ton for the red metal now is eleven
and one-half cents per pound, and
Mr.. Greenway things he sees a
good increase in this price soon
In fact, he was frank to predict that
it would be but a short time until
the price would assume normal pro
portions. He said that at the pres
ent time expectations continue, most

AWKWARD BALLOT
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
From Fridays Daily.)

Voters in Arizona must be particu.
larly careful at the coming election
| if they wish to vote ballots that
will be counted and at the same time
be expressive of their desires on
the proposed initiative, referendum
and amendment propositions, there
being FIVE proposed amendments to
the constitution, four referendum
and ten initiative measures to look
after.
The particular point with refer
ence to these is that by crazy pro-
vision of the law the ruled places or
squares for marking the ballot Oh
these measures is at the left, instead
of the right hand side OF the ques-
tions. Voters will find that in vot-
ing for the candidates they mark in
the squares to the right of the
names, whereas in answering ques-
tons proposed by the measures re-
ferred to, they must mark to the left
of each question. the law providing
that the order OF voting be reversed
with respect to candidates and prop
ositions on the ballot. The danger
is that the average voter, no matter
how intelligent, will naturally mark
answers to the proposed questions
in the places designated to the right.
and when the last column is reached
will find that there are no places
for marking to the right, having
missed the first column of marking
places entirely. By the time the
third column is reached the ballot
will have been so marked that it
will be spoiled. Just what could
have prompted such crazy forma-
ton of ballot is not plain. but it
is a condition, and every voter will
have to watch it if he or she desires
to cast a ballot which will express
their desires and be eligible to count.
Twenty-one thousand official and
