WYATT BUYS
JONES CATTLE
Well Known Stockman Pays
$4,000 for Fine Herd of
Registered and High Grade
Beef Cattle.

One of the biggest livestock
deals concluded in the Lewiston
country in many years was nego'
tiated last week when F. E.
Wyatt purchased from Seth D,
Jones the breeding cows anc
registered bulls of the Jones herd,
the purchase price being approx.
imately $4,000. Included in the
purchase are 16 registered Here
ford and Shorthorn bulls, rs high
grade cows and about 200 cows
and spring calves.
Mr.. Wyatt recently made a big
sale of range steers that were
taken to the Pomeroy section to
be fed for the market. The pur-
chase made from Mr.. Jones will
give him one of the largest breed
ing herds in the entire central
Idaho country and will replace
the range animals recently sold.
Mr.. Jones has retained approx
mately 300 head, most of which
are young steers, and in the
future will devote his entire at
tention to the preparation OF
steers for the market. This will
mean that he will become a heavy
buyer of young steers in the flu.
ture and will buy as near home
as possible. His extensive range
will be used for finishing the
steers for market and large num-
bers will be marketed annually.
During the past year Mr.. Jones
has been selling heavily to pre-
pare his ranch and range for the
steer business and his transac-
tions during the year are but lit
tie short Of the S80,000 mark.
He has also operated extensively
in hogs and will continue in hogs
in connection with finishing his
cattle for market.
Both stockmen involved in the
deal are pioneer residents of the
Salmon river and upper Snake
river sections. Lewiston Trib-

Stock Market Report.

Following is a report Of the
stock market at Portland for the
week ending Dec. 6:
There being no choice stuff Of
fered today, the real strength of
the market could not be ascer-
tanned. Top steers, however, are
quoted at $7.25. A few cows
brought $3.50. Today's run was
more liberal than for some time.
Over 1000 hogs were on the
market. Prices were maintained
and trading was active through
out the day. Quality was some
what better and buyers were
more liberal than usual. Tops
brought $6, bulk at $5.95.
Sixteen hundred head were re-
ceived for today's market and
buyers were eager to buy at
slightly advanced prices. Lambs
again brought $3.50, after a weak
ness in the market for couple
of weeks, all other classes remain
steady.

At Stock Show

Without doubt the finest article
in the beef line that has ever been
driven or shipped in or out of
Cottonwood was marketed here
Monday when Simon Bros, the
local butchers, purchased a beau
tiful 3-year old steer from Joseph
Hoene, of Keuterville, for their
holiday trade. The animal was
held in the street for some time
while men around town placed
bets on its probable weight and,
when later placed on the scales,
tipped the beam at exactly 1860
pounds, bringing its owner the
nice sum of $1,000. 1t is said
quite a bit of loose change trans
ferred ownership W h e n t h e
weight of the steer was made
known.
Simon Bros, who own one of
the finest meat markets in the
state, will kill the animal within
a few days and place it in cold
storage to supply choice cuts for
their Christmas trade.

will he begin to rake down big
profits from dairying as an ad-
junct to regular farming.
Farm Was Made to
Pay by Efficiency

A significant instance of what
proper methods Of farm manage.
ment can accomplish is afforded
by a certain 500-acre farm in cen.
tral Michigan. For 10 years this
farm failed to pay interest on the
capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to
make certain radical changes the
farm paid all the expenses of
operation and returned them 5
per cent on an investment of
$50, 1000. The changes which ac-
companied this financial revolu-
tion were as follows:
Cd Four-horse machinery was
substituted for 2-horse.
(2) The Improbable cows in
the dairy herd were weeded out
and sold and the money received
for them invested in better stock.
90 A silo was built.
(4) The foreman was allowed,
in addition to his salary, 10 per
cent of the net income from the
farm. The expenses of operating
the farm, but not the interest on
the capital, were deducted from
the income before the foreman
received his percentage.
1t was this last suggestion
which met with the most opposi-
ton from the owners of the farm,
but when it was pointed out to
them that for every dollar the
foreman got under such an ar
rangement they would get SO
they yielded.

Frank Scherer Dead

Frank Scherer passed away al
his home south of town at ar
early hour Wednesday morning
from heart failure, following an
illness of several months dura-
ton. The deceased was about
CT years of age and had resided
here with his family for a num-
ber of years. Some seven or eight
years ago his eyesight failed and
he had been practically blind and
almost helpless for the past sew
eral years. Several months ago
he developed a dropsical condi-
ton and his death was not unex-
pected.
The deceased was a hard-work-
ing, frugal citizen and had many
friends. He leaves a wife and
two children, a grown son and
daughter.
The funeral was held this
morning from the local Catholic
church and was quite largely at
tended.
The Chronicle joins with friends
of the family in extending SYM
pathy to them in their loss.

Dairying Will Come

Camas prairie may not proper
ly be classed as a dairy country
but this industry will be carried
on here to a marked degree just
the same as time passes. The
lack of green pasture during the
dry harvest months will be over
come by the silo and in this way
dalrying can be made almost as
great success here as in the
most favored dairy districts.
Where forage plants, corn and
grain can be grown in such abun-
dance as here the silo is the only
way to conserve the green food
Tor the dairy cow and the sooner
the farmer realizes this fact and
puts up silos and fills them with
green feed for the late summer
and winter months the sooner

holiday colors with a large a.
mount of advertising on the part
of local merchants of that city.
The Chronicle certainly gets good
appreciation over in the neigh
boring city in its efforts TO give
the community a medium of pub
licity. And the confidence Of the
merchants of that place is not
misplaced for the Chronicle is al
ways up to the moment on the
news and easily wins a place as
one of the leading newspapers of

STOCK HERE
Idaho County Stockmen Own
Animals From Best Herds
in the Country---Produce
Future Champions.

George Chandler, Of Baker
City, Ore, who has been exhibit
ing his Hereford cattle each year
at the Northwest Livestock show
at Lewiston, this year took a
number of his famous herd to the
Pan-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, where out of 26 en-
tries he took FL prizes, this in
competition with the entire fine
stock section of the United States.
County Commissioner Nate B.
Pettibone of this county, saw Mr..
Chandler's stock at Lewiston a
year ago and was so taken with
it that he bought twenty head of
young heifers, borrowing the
money to do it, and took them to
his Circle S ranch ten miles north
of Grangeville, where they are
doing fine. His bunch of prize
winning blood is one that little
has been said about; but there is
none better to be had, and the
circumstance of their purchase
point to the fact of what the
Northwest Livestock show is do
ing to better the stock, and, as a
natural sequence, the condition,
of the people of Idaho county.
Mr.. Pettlbone, while having
farmed for years, was not a
stockman, but the show was near
enough to our county for him to
attend, he saw the fine stock
there and became a convert, and
and as result of that trip, he is
now raising the best stock posi-
BILE. No further argument in
favor of maintaining the show at
its present location should be re-
quired; if it is a benefit, all should
take interest and help carry it.
Grangeville Globe.
In addition to the above we
may say that August Schroeder,
of Cottonwood, who has twice
won first prize on his carload of
fat steers exhibited at the North
west Livestock Show in Lewis
ton, has also some of the best
blood in the Hereford line in the
entire west. Mr.. Schroeder Sc
cured his foundation herd from
the famous Splawn herd at North
Yakima, which for years won
prizes all over the northwest, and
later added to it with some of the
best blood to be secured in the
central states until at present he
has stock that will rank in blood
lines and quality with the best in
the country.
Mel. Hastings, of the Winona
and Kamiah sections, also has a
line bunch of registered Here
fords, while single animals have
been secured by many of the
stockmen of this county. In time
1t may be that Idaho county will
come to be looked on as the Here
ford country of the northwest
where the finest breeding stock
IN the country may be found.
