RARE RAMS HEAD.

Willard Rood made a Christmas
present to his father-in-law Judge
McCracken, in rare specimen of the
head of mountain ram. Mr. Rood
not only killed the sheep himself but
was his own taxidermist in making
the exhibit out of the head and horns.
The mountain sheep is now rarely
seen. This one was killed several
years ago before the Idaho legisla-
ture put these animals in the pro
tected class.
Judge McCracken is arranging his
official records, with the assistance
of his daughter. Mrs Rood, who is
an expert recorder, to turn over tC

'JMRER FOR FUEL
GOING TO WASTE
-oges7 GROWTH OF LooGEPoLE
u,ne COULD BE UTILIZED WITH
.onos LEADING TO THEM.

There is an inexhaustible supply of ,
-, host fuel timber within five miles
CaImon. An area within a circle
oiobt miles of the center of the
o;.y PRODUCES annual growth greater
han the possible fuel demand of
,onuIarion of ten thousand.
nractical road system and graV-
,ty transportation would insure the
doliverv of this fuel for not more than
tour dollars a cord. The present
rrica of good wood is about eight
dollars A cord. The fuel demand for
salmon city is 1000 cords year.
saving would be made of not less
,ban $4,000 annually by the construc-
ZION of a good wagon road four miles
long This road would tap the tim
hor and enter a belt over which tim
her could be worked and hauled with
out expensive road construction. The
laterals necessary to deliver 25,OOO
cords of wood to a road that would
raouire not more than four miles OF
extensive construction work. This
main road to reach beyond the OBJ
etructions that battle the individual
wood haulers could be built for $4,000,
the profits on one years wood supply
under present demands. The expen-
diture necessary TO open up this
oraat resource would remain in the
county. Thousands of dollars which
now go to the railroads for freight
and the coal monopolists would be
expended at home.
The forest service would, undou0t
edly, join in the opening up of the
lodgepole timber belts which coulc
cut under the federal rules. Thi:
lodgepole timber is recognized as th'
fuel product of this district. 1t is eX
ceptionally good fuel timber. 1t re
news itself in short period, and tn
forest service considers il good po
icy to cut the ripe timber. These III
mense Lemhi forests are in danger @
destruction by FIRE. A protected neN
growth of timber on cut-oVer Ian
would be a better government asse
than the ripe forests of this dlstnI
which require the expense OF prote'
uon for long ages before there WI
be any other fuel demand for tn
class of timber.
The forest service would, probabl
assist in the construction OF roads
open the timber which should
sold at as early a period as posslol
The forest service would be quallht
10 designate the tracts of timber tn
should be cut for immediate us
They, too, would select the routes Il
road construction under a system
cooperation with the fuel-users
this community.
The firewood to be secured by
system of roads to lodgepole fore
would insure a better quality of nj
wood than is now furnished for &C
sumption in Salmon. The lmpro'
ment in quality without any saving
price would justify the cost OF I
good road system required. A go
sled road could be made for imme
ate winter use in few days oy
men and five teams. The cost wo'
come back in wood before sprung a
the money expended would all
brought back to our business III
within the same period.

FARM MANAGEMENT

farm management are advanced by spe-
cialists of the department as having
been brought out or substantiated by a
thorough agricultural survey of an old
and representative farming section of
Chester County, Pa. These principles
are summarized as follows
Farming conforms to local soil, eli
mate, labor, and market conditions as
well as to the business conditions of
the individual farm.
When conditions remain unchanged
for a long time, farming becomes APP
proximately what it ought to be to get
the best results provided that practice
which is Immediately the most profitable
does not deplete soil fertility.
Success in farming, measured in per
cent of profit on investment, does not
depend on the magnitude of the farm
business, but measured in terms of the
standard of living of the farm family
it is directly proportional to the magni-
tude Of business.
Profits increase as yields per acre in
crease until the yields are considerably
above the average for the locality, but
beyond this point increased yields are
obtained at a loss.
In quantity of product per dairy COW
the point of diminishing returns is not
reached in ordinary farm practice
1t is easier and more profitable to in
crease low yields per acre than high
ones, and small product per COW than
large product In other words, profits
can be increased more easily by atten-
ton to the weakest points in farm
ing system.
There is a way of grouping the enter
prises of a farm that is more profitable
than any other way that is, there is
certain most profitable acreage for each
crop and most profitable proportion of
income from any one source.
Some enterprises, such as poultry
keeping, may easily be made profitable
as side lines, yet are difficult to make
profitable when made main feature of
he farm business.
Production costs much more per bush
Il or per ton on the small farm than on
he large farm of the same type.
Diversity of business is an important
actor of success on the average farm
moderate degree of diversity is bet
err than either extreme
These principles, together with the fig
Tres which serve to establish them, are
discussed at length in a bulletin en-
tiled Farm Management Practice in
hester County, Pa" about to be issued
y the department. This work, the re-
ult of a survey carried out by the Office
f Farm Management, embodies very
Exhaustive study of the agriculture of
he region surveyed.
