Nearly One-third of Dairy Animals
in Honor List of Cow Testing
Association Owned by c. IL.
Barclay of Pullman

Six COWS in the dairy herd of &.
II. Barclay, the Pullman dairyman,
produced over As pounds of butter
lat during the month of January, ac-
cording to the tabulations of the
Whitman County Cow Testing asso-
ciation for that month, and each of
the six animals was given a place in
the association honor roll for the
month. The average production OF
the six cows was 54.S pounds of fat,
which, taken at current market
prices, was worth over SIC, while
the cost OF feed averaged $5.37 for
each animal, leaving the owner a
net profit of $10.63 for each COW, or
$t3.1S for the six COWS during the
month. This record is considered
an exceptional one for this time of
the year
The ration for Mr.. Barclays herd
consisted of alfalfa hay, corn silage
and about 10 pounds of a grain mix
ture, OF equal parts rolled oats, bran
and shorts. This is a ration that
can be recommended to anyone feed
ing COWS for profit, according to A.
j. Lashbrook, field agent in dairy
ing, and the record made by the
Pullman dairyman would bear out
the statement. Numerous others of

COWS above the 45-pound mark were

be made to produce we'll in cold
weather, will do we'll to look over
the records made in the Whitman

ports that a total of 80 cows pro-

here above 5 pounds.

FOREST FIRES IN 1915

Forest fires burned over nearly
100000 acres OF national forest land
in 1915, according to official reports
Just compiled, or less than 2 acres
per thousand. Out of total of 1924
fires, 346 or IL per cent, did dam
age to the amount of 500 or more l..
The timber loss was 156,O0O,OOO
board feet, valued at $4,000. Al
though the season was regarded as
one OF unusual exposure, owing to
delayed fall rains, the loss was ma
terially below the average of the last
five years. Over 81 per cent of this
loss occurred In the States OF Ore
gon, Washington, and Idaho, alone.
Besides the timber loss, fires destroy
ed reproduction, Or young tree growth
of an estimated value of 100000 and
s3,4O7 worth of forage. The loss per
fire in 1915 was s60.4l, which Is
03 less than the five year aver
age, while the cost Of fighting each
fire was $40. SO less.

Of forest fires in 1916 as 1t does In

that we had occupied.

all this when we found ourselves I'm

but one idea. and that was to get
away. though we could not forbear

We saw the women and children of the
Fire People. The latter ran for the
most part naked, though the former
wore skins of wild animals.
The Fire People like ourselves, lived
In caves. The open space In front OF
the caves sloped down to the river and
in the open space burned many small
fires. But whether or not the Fire
People cooked their food | do not

them cook. Yet II Is my opinion they
surely must have performed some sort
OF rude cookery. Like us. they car.

There was much coming and going
and loud cries made by the women
and children. The latter played about
and cut up antics quite in the same
way as did the children OF the folk.
and they more nearly resembled the
children Of the folk than did the
grown Fire People resemble the grown
folk.

We saw some of the part grown boys

sneaked back into the thicker forest

there we found a catamaran, real

small and straight and were dashed to-

Several producers have reported to
G. F. Loughlin, Of the Geological
Survey, that during the last three
months of the year conditions began
to improve and that early in 1916
prices for slate OF all kinds were
more encouraging than at cores

present many Of the quarries can
greatly increase their output to keep
pace with any increase in demand.
The producing States in 1915 were
the same as in 1914 and maintained
the same rank. In Maryland and
New York there were substantial in

and in Virginia small increase; in
the other States-Maine, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, and Vermont--there
were decreases.
The total number OF operators that

Exports and Imports Affected by War
The value OF slate exports which
was s226,413 in 1913 and s139,125 in
1914 was only $46.l37 in 1915, the
lowest recorded since 1895. England
which has heretofore been the larg
