though under only a $4,000 bond, he
has money to his credit as clerk tc
the amount of nearly $4,000 at all
times subject to his check. There
are more leaks through dishonesty
than loss by reason of living salaries
paid to trustworthy public servants.
The animus of the governor towards
the clerk was the motive for the
proposed amendment and the propos-
ed reduction in the salary is the

the people be deceived as to the mo-
tive and lose sight of the fact that
they are to be deprived of their right
to elect an important state officer?
AS the governor recently contended
before the Ministerial Alliance of
Oklahoma City that he was the head
of the educational system of this
state and also that the secretary of
state was his secretary and that he
had the right to take original records
out of his office, using the same lame
argument that is used with reference
to appointing the clerk, the governor
should be permitted to appoint the
state superintendent of public in
struction and the secretary of state.

Other factors, though OF less i'm
the future production of live stock are
greater economy in the use of forage
both on the range and on the farm, the
use of more and higher grade bullz
and better management of the breed
ing animals through the year. The
last two, it is said. offer the possi-
bility of increasing the calf crop 8 or
10 per cent and the average weight of
a two-year-old steer perhaps 80
pounds.
Where winter feeding is practiced 1t
is believed that yearling steer will
cost approximately $50 and "long"
two-year-old S45. In the range sec
tions of the Southwest, on the other
hand, the costs may be estimated at
from SIS to $40 for yearling and
from $50 to $25 for a two-year-old.
With sheep there is similar varia-
ton. In California the cost of pro-
ducing a lamb is placed at $1.55, in
the Southwest at Sill and in the
Northwest at S1.S2. In considering
these figures it must be remembered
that they all may be materially al
tered by increasing or Diminishing the
percentages of births in the herds
and hocks. Better methods, it is
pointed out, will almost certainly in
crease the calf and lamb crops and
in this way reduce the cost of pro-
duction per head.
In estimating these costs the inves-
tigators charged against the stock the
market value in the vicinity of all the
feed consumed. In this way the ne
cessity of considering the money in
vested in land and equipment was
eliminated but, on the other hand, al
lowing the stock owner n profit on
the feed increases somewhat the esti-
mated cost of producing animals. AS
the owner might not get his profit on
the feed if he did not raise stock to
utilize it, the actual profits In stock
raising are probably somewhat greater
than the difference between the mar
ket price of the animals and the re-
ports estimates of the cost of produc-
ton.

SOWS' BEDDING OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
No Reason for Deep Layer in
Farrowing Pen During Mild
Weather of Autumn.

There Is no reason for a deep layer
of bedding over the floor of a farrow-
ing pen this time of year. Large sows
especially are more liable to lie on
their pigs If the bedding is thick. A
lighter and more active sew can wade
around better without walking on the
little ones, but even In her case there
is more risk of losing pigs when much
bedding is used than there is when lit
tie is used.
OF course a fresh supply of clean,
dry bedding just before narrowing time
is important in furnishing clean and
wholesome surroundings for the pigs
when they are very youLs-starts them
off in good health-but the quantity
need not be great. Cleanliness is the
important thing. This is no time in a
pigs life to make him rough 1t.
The guard rail around all sides of
the pen is another matter we cannot
afford to forget. A convenient guard
rail is one fastened to the wall with
hinges so it will swing up out of the
way when not needed. When in use it
is supported at right angles with the
wall by short legs resting on the floor.
The old kind built to stay is depend
able and saves the pigs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The output of beef and mutton in
the range country of the West should
slowly increase from now on, in the
opinion of specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, who
have conducted an exhaustive study of
the meat situation in the United
States. The chief reason for a de-
cline in recent years. the specialists
say, is the settlement of public lands
and consequent reduction in range.
While other causes have contributed
to lessened meat production in the
West, they have been more than Offset
by rising prices and the greater prof
its in cattle raising. as well as by a
general agricultural development
which has made for winter feeding
and pasturing on cultivated crops.
The prediction that this decrease
hereafter will give way to an increase
is based upon the belief that the
amount of live stock on farms and
homesteads will be greater in the fu-
ture, that the stock ranges in the ma
tional forests will continue to i'm
prove, that the carrying capacity of
the stock ranges on the public domain
may be increased by legal regulation,
and finally that high prices of range
animals snd better methods will re-
suit in n more efficient utilization of
the available forage, or, in other
words, a greater production per unit
of forage.
In 1914 it was estimated that no
more than 80 per cent of the new set
tiers had more live stock than was
necessary to supply them with milk
and milch animals. The situation in
this respect, however, was changing
even then, and the movement for the
production of more live stock may be
expected to continue because both
market and agricultural conditions

make this indispensable to really sue
cessful farming. The change will be
gradual, it is said, and only a few
head of stock will be added to a
farm, but ultimately and in the aggre-
gate the increase will be greater than
that which is likely to be accomplished
in any other way. The problem for
the states and the national govern
ment, it is said, is to aid in the change
by working out a system which will
make such agriculture profitable.
In addition to this increase in the
numbers of farm stock, there is little
doubt that the carrying capacity of
the existing ranges can be greatly en-
larged. This has been demonstrated
In the national forests, where i'm
proved methods and regulation have
increased the capacity of many ranges
from 10 to 80 per cent. This process
should continue for at least ten years
more, and should result in building
up the carrying capacity of the nation
nj forests as a whole by perhaps 10
per cent.
If similar control could be exercised
forests, it is estimated that the capac-
ity of these ranges could be increased
about 80 per cent. About half of this
would result from the improvement In
the range itself after overstocking
and premature grazing were prevented
and natural reseeding facilitated. The
remainder would follow water devel-
opment, the construction of fences and
the introduction of methods of hand
ling stock which are out of the ques-
tion as long as the Improvement OF

vides an incentive for new men to
