Under such conditions there is high

would appear desirable to extend pub

rowing for highways is not defective,
it is usually the procedure that needs
correction.
There are three types of bonds that
are used. the straight sinking fund
bond. the annuity bond and the serial
bond. The older issues were long-term
sinking-fund bonds No road will
last thirty years without mainten-
ance. Frequently gravel roads were
built and no maintenance funds pro-

neglected. No sinking fund will ac-

county officials pass by in thirty

some counties is today unknown by

SUPPLYING WATER TO SWINE
One Of Difficult Problems Hog Rails
ers Must Solve in Winter-Tank
Heaters Are Best.

1t is true that hogs, especially pigs,
do not get as much water as they need
during cold, freezing weather. The wa
ter should be heated in cold weather to
at least so degrees Fahrenheit, and it
is better If it is heated to 10 or so de-
grees. How to heat the water and
keep 1t warm is one of the difficult
problems hog raisers have to solve in
winter
Some folks water the hogs several
times during the day and pour all the
water that is left out of the troughs
as soon as the hogs drink.
Others have arranged various de-
vices in which they can use tank heat
ers This is the most convenient and
satisfactory way if a large number of
hogs can be watered at one place. The
method to use will have to be deter
mined by local conditions.
Hogs do not thrive or make good
gains when ice water is given them in
troughs that already are half filled with
ice.

WINTER CARE OF THE SHEEP

II the sheep are neglected and al

winter sets in the fleece will be in

A fleece of good quality cannot be
grown on a poor half-starved sheep.
If the ewes are allowed to get poor
during the winter the chances are that
the lambs will be weak and will per-
ish for lack of nourishment and from
cold, while the lambs from a we'll
cared for eve will be much ADLER to
stand the cold if they should happen
to be dropped when the weather is
cold.
The dams will have more milk for
their young, too. If they are well cared
for.
Sheep need some succulent food dur
ing the winter. They should have
some rough feed such as corn stover
or clover hay, and. above all, they
should have a ration rich in both pro-
tein and mineral matter

SUCCESS IN PRODUCING PORK
Pasture Grasses and Forage Crops
Make Healthy, Vigorous Hogs
Some Grain Is Necessary.

Many now realize the fact that the
growing of pasture grasses and forage
crops that make healthy, vigorous
hogs of good quality is the basic factor
in successful pork production. They
are raising hogs at a big profit
OF course those who are successful
realize the fact that a certain amount
of grain feed is needed to grow hogs
with greater profit. but they use this
grain only as a supplement to the
feeds harvested by the hogs in the
pastures and fields.

MANURE IN THE BOX STALLS
More Bedding Is REQUIRED to Keep
Animal Clean-ldeal Breeding
Place for Files.
(By J. N. ALLEN.)

.... (By ]. N. ALLEN)
The production of manure in the
box stall is probably the best of the
old methods, since it requires the
least expenditure of labor. However,
more bedding is required to keep the
animal clean and the accumulated
manure furnishes an ideal breeding
place for flies.
The manure 30 produced, If kept
evenly distributed over the floor, will
be thoroughly compacted and will sus
tain only small loss Of nitrogen SO
long as the animal remains upon it.
but If the manure is allowed to remain
in the stall after the animal is removed
there will be considerable loss of nitro
gen both as ammonia and as free nitro
gen, due to the drying out and break
ing up of the uric acid into ammonium
carbonate, and to the action of the
bacteria on the organic nitrogen com
pounds.

MAJESTIC
GROUP
A. III. Mcknight, of Washing.
ton, ID. c., Enroute to
Dixie.

A. H. Mcknight Of Washington, ID.
G., was an arrival in this city last
Sunday evening coming up from Lew
iston. Mr.. Mcknight had business
here in connectiin with the Majestic
mine at Dixie.
Mr.. Mcknight has been In charge of
development work at this property for
the past ten years and during that time
has expended $120,000 In opening up
what is considered to be one of the
largest bodies of or in the interior
country. Some half dozen profes-
sional engineers have examined the
property, and while all agree that
there is an enormous body of ore. no
two OF them agree as to the best meth
DDS OF handling nor can they agree as
to whether with present known values
and the distance from railroad trans
portation, the property can be made to
pay.
While here Mr. Mcknight stated that
owing TO some unfinished business I'm
connection with the property he did
not desire to make any statements. but
that while at Lewiston he had given
out an interview that went into the
companys expectations quite thorough
~ and which appears below:
Il have the sincerest faith In the
property" said Mr.. Mcknight. "and /
believe there is a large body of very
rich ore near some OF the workings
we have prosecuted and l am going
In to the property to prove or dis
prove my theory, or rather to demon
strate positive conviction Where
the new work will be begun, I
took samples of very rich ore.
in fact, by long odds the richest yet
found on the property and the last
mining expert we had TO examine the
property gave 1t as hfs opinion that
a small amount of work would uncover
the ledge from which these samples
came. The whole mountain ON which
we have our claims located is min
eralized, but heretofore we have done
development on the larger veins, ir-
respective of values obtained. to find
out just what the property amounted
to. Now we are going to open up some
of the smaller and known rich ledges
and | am sure we will have mine
there soon of which we may well be
proud.
I'VE have just closed q deal for the
mill and personal property of the
Penn-Di property and this will be
it in running order before the spring
opens up. Some of the stockholders
of the Majestic company were dis |
couraged with the report of one en-
gineer which resulted in myself and
few associates being able to secure
bond and lease on the property for
two years for the sum of $250000. If /
we didn't have faith and If we were
not almost certain of results, we would l
not go to the expense the new venture |
is certain OF entail. But / have pros !
pected all the claims,-in fact, located |
all of them and am familiar with the |
property as perhaps no other person.
We are going ahead with development /
in modest way, but several men will
be put to work at once and before long
/ hope to have story to tell which
will be founded on more than belief
