Schroeder Sells Fine Steers

August Schroeder sold a car
load of fine steers Monday to
Mr.. Larson, buyer for Frye &
Co. of Seattle, and the cattle
were shipped to the coast on
Tuesday mornings train. The
shipment consisted of 22 head of
two-year old steers and 2 three
year olds. The cattle were by
long odds the best bunch shipped
from the prairie in many days
and the nice price of $3.50 a hun
dred pounds was received for
them. This price may seem a
trifle high to other stockmen
who have been getting from five
to six cents a pound for their
cattle but it only goes to show
that when they have the right
kind of stuff they can command
a price and get it. 1t does moi
stand to reason that well brec
cattle properly fattened shoulc
bring no more than ordinary
stuff and the sooner the stock
men realize this fact and product
high grade cattle and put then
on the market in proper condi
ton the sooner will they real
the reward in better prices. Ant
the buyers will be glad to pa!
the price whenever this time ar
rives.

Employ Home Labor

Great care should be taken by
the local farmers to select their
help from Idaho County men who
are seeking labor during the har-
vest.
The history of the threshing
season in eastern Washington is
starting out in a manner which
indicates more thresher explos-
ions and grain fires than last year
if such a thing is possible. Fires
are starting in the center of huge
fields of grain without any appar-
ant excuse or cause. On the
evening of August 3rd four
threshers we:e blown up and
burned near Rosalia. The crews
in each case were being worked
thirteen hours and had made a
demand for a ten hour day.
Employ home labor; those you
know and can depend on being
careful. There is enough risk
by fire without any human agency
lending a direct hand.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1915-08-06
bring it up to somewhere near
normal, and he estimates that the
prune crop will be considerably
larger than it was last year.
Sells To Eastern Buyer

Will Jones was in town several
days this week from his home
across the river, having made
the ride out last Friday from his
place in three hours with the ex-
pectation of going on to Montana
in responce to a telegram stating
that his brother, Bob, had UNDER
gone an operation and very low.
On reaching this place, however,
he received word that Bob was
much better and in no danger.
While here Will informed us that
he had sold big bunch of his
beef cattle to a Chicago buyer
and that Chas. Baird and several
other cattle raisers in that section
had also contracted their stuff,
with the result that the cattle
will be brought out to this place
about the 18th and an entire
trainload will be shipped to the
Chicago market. It's understood
the price received by those who
sold is quite a bit better than
that offered by Spokane or coast
buyers.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1915-08-06

to the reported sales the other
day to a Spokane concern of beef
cattle at 81 cents.
According to information at
hand the representative of the
stockyards at Chicago now in
this field recently secured a train
load of cattle at Baker City,
Oregon, and another at North
Yakima, offering price in ad-
vance over that offered in the
western markets. Fridays Trib-

tages of the various routes and
no community will be sighted or
injured.
The governor spoke alsn on
community development and the
need of each town to build high
ways leading out into it's tribu-
tary country to bring trade to it's
doors and insure future progress
and prosperity. He compliment
ed Cottonwood highly on its
thrifty appearance and progress
sive citizens and said we have
one of the best towns in the
north end of the state.
At the conclusion of his speech
the governor was roundly ap-
plauded and was then given a
vote of thanks for his presence
here and the assurance of the
hearty cooperation of the citi-
zens of this part of Idaho in his
efforts to secure the building OF
the north-south railway.
From this place the governor
went to Winchester and then on
to points in the northern part of
the state.

Straw And Manure.

We are just beginning to realize
the value of stable manure.
While the market gardener has
for years depended upon it for
success, the general farmer is
just beginning to see its
value, and to give it place in his
farming sc'ltme. With its mo! Q
general use is also coming more
care in saving it, without a loss
of the ingredients.
The liquid portion of manure
constitutes an important part of
| it. It NAV be of interest to note
that over half the nitrogen and
nearly half of the potash produced
by horses is in the liquid excre-
ment. Over half the nitrogen
from cows is found in the liquid
while there is five times as much
potash in the liquid as in the solid
excrement.. Liquid manure
from the pig contains one-fifth of
the nitrogen and one-third of the
potash. In general it may be
said that the liquid manure is as
valuable as the solids when we
think of the total plant food, but
when we consider the availability,
we find that that found in the liq-
uid is Immediately available,
while that in the solid becomes so
only slowly. While the nutrients
in the liquid are easily available
they are very easily lost, and that
is one of the big problems we run
against in conserving the manure
while it is accumulating.
How can we best save it? The
first thing to do is to see that the
floor of the stable is water tight.
; Quit using dirt floors. Then
, catch the liquid. This can be
7 best done by use of an absorbent:
