J. X. BROWN, STOCK GROWER NEAR
MOSCOW, RAISES CHOICE
SHEEP FOR MARKET
Visit to His Place Shows Modern Plan
of Handling Farm-GOOd Example
For Others

That j. R. Brown, the w%ell-know,
farmer who resides some eight mile,
southwest of town on the johnson
road, has some extra choice LincolI
and C. w. Hickman of the college O
agriculture who visited the Brown
ranch Saturday to select some ram
for purchase.
"Over in Oregon where they raise
SO much stuff for show there are any
number of sheep men who would be
delighted if they could produce the
kind of sheep Mr.. Brown has here
said Mr.. Iddings. Il have visited q
great many sheep farms in the north
west where they pride themselves on
their fancy stuff and | haven't found
any that beats what Mr.. Brown is
raising right here in the Palouse
country"
Mr.. Brown has been in the sheep
business less than ten years. Until
two or three years G he registered
all his sheep which are all thorough
breds. But his stock has become so
well known for it's high quality that
buyers flock to him in greater num-
bers than he can supply and for the
last two or three years he has not
gone to the trouble and expense OF
keeping up the papers. Mr.. Brown has
only the Lincoln breed and he is par
ticularly successful in raising the type
of Lincoln that has the crinkly, silk
wool now so much desired.
Sheep raising is not the only in
dustry in which Mr.. Brown shows him
self a past master. Any visitor to
the J.. R. Brown farm just beyond The
Clinton Grange and school Eouse will
see one of the handsomest and best
kept pieces of property in the entire
Palouse country.
From the attractive sodded driveway
to the farthest limits of his 465 acres.
Mr.. Brown maintains his premises in
perfect order and has Iii stalled for all
farm and domestic purposes the most
improved and the newest labor saving
machinery.
The house which is extremely neat
and trim is surrounded By beautiful
flowers, the most gorgeous of which
jast now is a purple cleamtis whose
bloom covers almost the en-
tire north wall of the building. The
house is supplied with no and cold
up stairs and down for kitchen,
laundry, bath room, and milk house.
All the buildings on the farm are
lighted with acetyline lights.
Gasoline engines do much of the
york from washing the CLOTHES and
burning the butter to cutting the
up in the hay NOV. j
By the use of this hay cutter, Mr.. Y
figures that he a feed much
noIe cheaply and more satisfactorily.

practically only five packers to buy
cattle. If his is so something must
be done.
"One thing we do know that the
exports for the first nine months of
1915 exceeded those of the same per-
iod in the previous year by more
than 266, 100000, or about 100000
head of cattle. Also that the receipts
in the central markets sh owed slight
ly less than four per cent increase in
cattle and that the price paid in 1915,
as against the previous year, was
nearly eight per cent less.
Il am not one of those who believe
that the packers mission is to protect
us from losing money. If we have a
fair competitive market for the pro-
duct we sell, that IS all we hope to
ask for. However, we must remem-
Der that we can buy our feeders so
high that is impossible to get a rea-
sonable return for our expense in
feeding them without having the price
of beef so high that the public will
stop eating It.
Business Has Prospered.
The cattle business at both ends
has been prosperous recently, the
breeders have been making money and
the packers rcapilg harvest, but we,
the feeders. have an uphill pull, at
best, without profit and IN many in
stances with serious loss"
Larger cooperation between the
DTecQeTS ana IG eQeTS OIL anu the
packers is necessary to the preserva :
ton of the livestock industry of the
United States, Mr.. Tod asserted. He
suggested also that one of the steps
necessary to the maintenance of the
industry in Kansas is the cree ton of
state livestock board which would CO.
operate with the stockmen of the state
as the state board of agriculture does

The members of the oard, which
should be created by legislative enact

The speaker criticised the ruling of
the Interstate Commerce commission
on the Cummins oil as being "all

asserted that the ruling was at fault in
that it set specified value upon every
head of livestock shipped.
I'm shipping to market we pay our
rate by the hundredweight. A steer

Wichita. Kan, Feb. S.--A general

of cattle, W. J. Tod, of Maple Hill,

thay can on the market" he said.
I'VE can expect nothing else. Any
thing else would not be business. But
a general feeling prevails among the
stockmeE in this country that we are
not getting a fair, competitive market;
that order buyers who used to be so
conspicuous on the yards have been
compelled to leave and that there is
an understanding between the packers
that each shall buy only pre-ar-
ranged percentage of the stock Of

DRESS WARM
AND KEEP
FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections 1t is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all. drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus riding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
ant, effervescent, lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as WE'LL

timistic note when he asserted that the
general condition of the livestock in
terestS in tie western, or breeding sec
ton of Kansas, as in the range country
west of this state, has been exceed
ingly prosperous in the last few years.
The ranches show large dividends
he said. There is every reason this
should be so. We know from govern
ment Statistics that in 1907 we had
100000 cattle, while at the end of
1914 we had approximately $4,000, 900
head, a loss of % and one-half per
cent in eight years. In the past few
years stockmen have been saving
everything fit to breed, and possibly
some that should not have been saved
with the result that the heifers and
cows have been selling unprecedently
high, and yearling steers at prices
unheard of in our time. The country
may be glad to know, too, that the
numbers have begun to increase again,
the latest figures showing gain of
more than three per cent"

and Appoint Membership COMMITTEE

and Appoint Membership COMMITTEE.
Wellington, Kan, Feb. S.-The
farmers of Sumner county have start
ed a campaign to organize a county
farm bureau. At a meeting of the
farmers held in Wellington, E E.
Laney was elected temporary presi-
dent; A. ]. Banks, vice president, and
John E. Walker, secretary. E. o. G.
Kelly, field manager of the United
States chronological station at Well
ington; John r. Brooks, county super
intendent of schools, and T. A. Hub
bard were appointed a committee to
assist the above named officers in es-
tablishing a permanent organization.
Prospects are very flattering for a per-
manent organization, the securing of a
county farm agent by March l, 1916
The farmers present at the meeting
were enthusiastic over the proposition
and nearly all present signed applica-
tons for membership in the bureau.
Prof. Edward c. Johnson. of the
State Agricultural college, was present
and talked to the farmers and explain
ed fully the object and workings of a
farm bureau. He told how it was be-
ing done in counties where a bureau
was now in operation and that
wherever a county bureau was located
that wonderful good had been accom-
plished in the way of cooperation
among the farmers of the county.

RAPE MAKES GOOD PASTURE.
Agronomy Professor Tells Value OF
Little Known Crop to Farmers.


Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 8-Rape IS
well adapted to the soil and climatic
conditions of eastern Kansas and is
proving particularly valuable to farm
ers who depend entirely upon pasture
crops in hog feeding. Many persons
are planning to grow some rape next
season.
Under favorable conditions an
abundance of pasture for hogs, sheep
or cattle may be had the entire sea
son on good lands in the three eastern
tiers of countless" says Ralph Kenney,
assistant professor of agronomy in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. ITO
produce this result a patch of rape
should be sown every two or three
weeks.
when the hogs or other stock have
eaten most of the leaves from the first
patch, they are turned on the second
patch. By the time a third patch is
eaten down the first is ready for pas
ture again, but the rape should be a
foot high before the stock are turned
on to it.
I'm cool, moist seasons such as the
one just past, rape does exceptionally
well when sown in the corn field be-
tween August 1 5 and September 1. 1t
will be ready for pasture by October
1 and will furnish good pasture for
three to five weeks if not pastured too
heavily. On good bottom lands the
rape may be sown with oats in spring
and will furnish pasture for several
weeks after the oats are cut"

CLOSE EXTENSION WEEK.
Bad Weather Couldn't Affect Attend
ance at Belle Plaine School.

Belle PLANE, Kan, Feb. 8.-The big
five day extension school held at this
place under direction of the extension
service of the State Agricultural col
here Friday. Although there were
antagonistic elements, bad weather,
roads in poor condition and the fact
this was the first year anything had
been undertaken in this line, there
were large crowds in attendance every
day and the last days the Woodman
hall in which the school was held was
crowded.
Prof A S. Neale, on feeding and
dairying, has awakened an interest
never before felt in this community
Prof J. H. Bower. the soil expert,
was interesting throughout, many
thinking this department one of the
most interesting of them all. But at
these schools each attendant may
have just what he is looking for.
As this is rapidly growing to be one
of the greatest fruit centers of the
west quite naturally considerable in
terest conferred around the many lee
lures and demonstrations given by
Prof. Geo. o. Greene of the depart
ment of orcharding. He had been
here before in the capacity OF judge at
our local fruit show and gave such
eminent satisfaction he was gladly
welcomed upon his return upon this
occasion. He went into detail as to
the various methods of pruning,
spraying tending the orchard, select
ing variety and marketing. His talks
were illustrated with charts. etc, and
while here made practical demonstra-
ton in several of the local orchards.
The last day we had with us Prof.
E. c. johnson, direction of the extern
sion service. He gave an illustrated
lecture showing the workings of the
county agent and community work.
His remarks brought forth a hearty
response and many signed their inten-
ton of becoming one of the number
necessary to enable this county to
have the benefits to be derived from
the work of the county agent.
Professor Neale also on the last
day gave a demonstration upon tudg-
ing cows which was highly praised.
We believe great good will be accom-
plished as a result OF this five day
school and fifty men signed up for the
school year.
The ladies of the community were
given the opportunity of attending
five day school also during the week.
Miss Hannah Broughton and Miss
Fortney gave interesting lectures and
demonstrations upon the science of
home making and the art of dress.
The ladies' work is one that is rapidly
forging to the front. More and more
each year are taking an interest in this
work and next year this excellent part
of the extension school work will play
more important part even than this.
