THIS BEAUTY VS.. UTILITY CON-
TROVERSY.

consumed in the poultry press by nu-
merous so-called fanciers and utility
breeders in a discussion of the subject
of utility poultry and fancy poultry.
Lately both sides have resorted to
technical definitions in an effort to
maintain their respective positions.
In our judgment it is all bunk.
There are certain number of men
that will always breed for feathers
only-they are fanciers and usually
can afford to be. They are the one
extreme. Then we have the other
extreme-the man who feels that to
get eggs he must have lot of non
|descript stock that tries to make you
believe that lot of scrubs will make
him more money with less expense
and less trouble than flock of we'll
bred fowls. Personally we have no
quarrel with either; both are entitled
to their opinions but we have seen
enough of the poultry business to
know that it isn't necessary to 60 to
seed on either proposition in order to
have either profits or fine stock, or
both.
In order to breed fancy cows we dc

NORTHWEST NEEDS
TALL SMOKESTACKS
WILLIAM PIGOTT, SEEING BET
TER BUSINESS, URGES INDUS.
TRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

look is better than it has been for
months and convinced that what the
Pacific Northwest needs is more tall
sm6kestacks and fewer tall buildings,
William Pigott, president Of the Sc
attic Car & Foundry company and
one of the big business men of the
returned to Seattle the
fore part of this week after a months
trip in the East.
II found business good through
out the East" said Mr.. Pigott, with
the steel plants running at 80 per
cent of their capacity and all manu-
featuring establishments engaged in
the manufacture of war supplies
working day and night.
Money is plentiful. One of the
leading bankers of New York City,
where spent most of my time while
away, said If the present war contin-
ues another year, the major portion
of the money in the world will be de-
posted in that city. And the state
ment seems fully justified.
Crop Prospects Are Good.
"While there has been little more
rain than usual through the farming
districts, crop prospects could not be
better.
II return to Seattle, however. with
the same opinion that have enter
tanned for some time, that the North
west has great possibilities and that
we should be able to develop on our
own account many useful enter
prises for the upbuilding Of this Sec
ton, and not depend too much on
Eastern capital.
II found the people in the East too
much engrossed with their own af-
fairs to give to the West very musA
consideration. either from view
point of investment or otherwise.
The conclusion I draw is that the sal
walton and development Of the West
depends ON its own people and local
capital. and 1t is grave mistake for
US to be waiting year after year for
Eastern men or Eastern capital to
develop local industries or Alaskan
enterprises.
Local Investments Needed.
"The only way to develop Seattle
and her sister cities in the Northwest
from an Industrial viewpoint Is fol
local capital to invest in local enter
prises. not only on Puget Sound. but
in Alaska. Our local capitalists never
assisted in the development Of Alas
kan resources to the extent that they
should have.
"They should also invest local cap
ital in shipping. As an illustration
we have expended approximately 80.
000.OO in docks and terminals and
have done very little. II anything. t.
develop tonnage.
III Seattle business men would onl!
take small portion Of their accu
mutation and invest the same In IN
dustrial and shipping enterprises, o
in the development of our natura
resources, instead Of investing thei
surplus altogether in real estate AM
buildings, we would have a prosper
GUS city. Everybody wants to be
landlord, with the result that W.
have many tall buildings, but no tai
smokestacks."

SUDDEN CHANGE OF
FEED IS DANGEROUS
DietetiC Disturbances Cause Gen.
eraI Disorder and Several
Dead Sheep Are Found.

Loss of few lambs in the feed lots
is to be expected. But this loss in
some instances is far greater than it
should be.
When range lambs are placed on
fattening ration the change of feed
is so sudden that dietetic disturbances
cause a general disorder and several
dead sheep are found in the pens each
morning. This invariably leads to
the suspicion that they are dying of
some infectious disease.
In some cases the ration is not well
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only very small loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw en-
silage, etc, must be made gradually
and herein lies the secret of the
heavy losses of lambs in the feed lots
in the early fall. The desire to get
the lambs on a fattening ration as
early as possible and failing to appre-
ciate the danger of too heavy feeding
and change of ration, has helped to
make lamb feeding an Improbable
business in some instances.
A sudden change of feed or over.
feeding, should be guarded against
with all domestic animals. But it is
especially important with the horse
and sheep.

made out, and quartermaster's lists
checked up. The captain had his hands

to find a noncom, who could write
neatly and figure a little. The first
sergeant was equal to the emergency
Corporal Kammermeyer was prompt

Travesty on Real FaIstaff.

Yarmouth has a claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently of it's as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks a writer in st. Nicholas. For
it was the home of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been a man
of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"a Falstolfe or Falstaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first of it's representatives in par
lament, and from that the members
of that family filled the highest mu-
nicipal offices. John Falstolfe, man
of considerable account in the town,
purchased lands at the close of the
fourteenth century in Castor, and be-
came the father of Sir John Falstolfe,
who, after a distinguished military ca
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare's famous char
acter. In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as a benefactor to the
great church of st. Nicholas.

TUBERCULOSIS HOGS
ARE NOT WANTED
Many Dairy Districts Known to
Harbor Diseased Cows Beng
Disseminated Against.

1t is a well established fact that
hogs contract tuberculosis very readily
from tuberculous cattle, being fed the
diseased milk, or following stock cat
tie.
There has been a. too-general objec
ton to any method employed to rid
the country of diseased cattle. The
tuberculin test has been declared a
worthless test, the state laws have
been drastically opposed as tyrannical.
Farmers have declared it was nobody =.
business if they wanted to keep tuber-
culous cattle. 1t is somebody's busl-
ness, and nobody's more than the
farmers themselves. The consumer u
milk and meat wants to be satisfied
that he is getting wholesome foods,
and every honest farmer is anxious to
know that he is producing wholesome
foods. But aside from this the farmer
wants to know that he and his neigh
bors are producing wholesome foods
because of the financial reaction that
is bound to come soon if the disease is
not stopped.
Just as sure as anything there is q
time coming when the farmers will sell
their cattle and hogs subject to inspec-
ton or not at all if they do not make
every effort to get rid of tuberculosis.
Many dirty districts now known to
harbor tuberculous cows are being dis
eliminated against in the hog markets.
Their hogs are not wanted at any price.
The dairymen in such localities could
do not better than make a great effort
to remove every cause for the discrim-
ination. What is true of hogs will be
true of cattle some day. Cattle are
inspected at the stockyards but the
day will come when there will be no
buyers soliciting in certain localities
where the farmers feel that it is no
body's business" whether they have
diseased stock or not.

| ing to a horse that is of some value
and whose colts have the points that
will make for future value in them.
What is the sense in wasting good
feed and barn room, to say nothing of
pasture for two or three years, on a
second or third-rate colt, when you
might have one that had all the max
ings of good horse about him from
the beginning?
The difference in the amount that
must be paid for the two classes of
stallion service amounts to but little
in view of the fact that the colt of
the really good stallion may be worth
twice as much to his owner as that Of
the underbred horse. 1t is one of those
curious things that help to keep some
men from ever getting as much out of
their farming and stock raising as
they should have.
OF course the cooperative plan of
a few farmers in a neighborhood buy
ing good stallion is an excellent one
if the horse is bought of an absolutely
reliable dealer and is the right kind
of an animal. This plan is being fol-
lowed in good many neighborhoods
and is working out fairly well. Co
operation will not come, of course, I'M
til the people have awakened to the
fact that the only kind of horses that
are worth the trouble and cost of rails
ing are those that are properly bred.
The man who hopes to make little
money out of the colts he is going to
raise ought to travel a long way to
reach a high-priced stallion rather
than to accept free the services of a
poor horse kept on a neighboring
farm. 1t will pay to ride two days,
one going and another coming back, to
reach the right kind of horse. The
other kind is the animal that is re-
sponsible for so many scrub horses at
the present time.
