The proposed increase OF rs pei
cent. in freight and passenger rates
under government operations OF
railroads proves the merits of the
pleas of utility companies asking
increases to save them from bank
ruptcy The demand was just, but
the muckrakers howled and appeal
ed to prejudice, demanding more
and still greater reductions in pas
senger and freight rates. The JUS
tice Of the ase was never consid-
cred. The howl went up for the
pound of flesh simply because a
corporation owned the road. Now,
when the people are running these
railroads. with business booming. 1t
Is necessary to increase rates rs per
cent. to keep the roads going, and
the increase is just. And it would
be just were the government not
running them.

SWEET CLOVER EXPERIENCE

In a recent issue of the dalryman
l noticed an inquiry concerning the
growing of sweet clover. / have
grown it for five years and I think
it far ahead of all other clovers for
pasture and feed. l SOW it in the
spring with early oats using five to
six quarts of inoculated seed per
acre. After l cut my oats I either
pasture the sweet clover, make hay
of it, or ensile it. In my opinion
it makes better silage than corn and
! have been using 1t for four years.
l run my yearlings and dry cows
through the winter on it and they
stay fat.
The first crop can be cut for sill
age and then a good seed crop can
be secured. but the first cutting
should be made by the last of May.
l use a binder. for sweet clover must
be cut high so as not to injure 1t for
a seed crop, as 1t does not grow
from the root the second time but
form buds on the stalk. Two or
three head of mature stock can be
pastured per acre and be kept in
splendid condition. l find that
sweet clover enriches the ground
so as to make the growing of sue
ceeding crops very good, and l con
slider 1t equal to a coat of barn ma
nure. &C. N, Ill. in Hoard's

PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER.

At this time of year eggs are plen-
tiful and cheap and should be pre-
served for use next winter. Eggs
which are sterile have been found
to have the best keeping qualities.
They should be laid in clean, dry
nests for they should not be washed
before preserving as the shell is COW
cred with a natural protective coat
ing which is easily washed off. II
dirty eggs are preserved, the ma
nure adhering will be dissolved in
the preservative and the eggs faint
ed.
There are three methods Of pre-
serving eggs which are especially
recommended:

SHoRTHORN SALE.

The first Shorthorn Sale to be
held in the Northwest at this sea-
son of the year will be held at the
Union Stock Yards in Spokane,
June Goth, 1918, when A. Duncan
Dunn, Joe Turner and Day 4 Roth
rock will combine and offer the
public all of their Shorthorns which
are for sale at the present time.
The offering will consist Of about
"a head Of choicely bred young
Shorthorns, of which approximately
% will be bulls and the remainder
will be cows and heifers. All ami
mails will have been tested for tu-
berculosis and their breeding quail
ties will be guaranteed so that the
buying public will be fully pro-
tected.
The sale is coming at a busy sea-
son but yet it is timely because
this is the season Of the year when
people are breeding and bulls are
being selected and purchased with
which TO mead herds.
The novel feature of this sale is
that anyone who is too busy to at
tend can arrange with e. ]. ID
dings. Dean of the College OF Agri-
culture of the University of Idaho,
or his assistant, c. w. Hickman,
Associate Professor Of Animal Hus-
bandry in the same institution, to
buy for him. The Catalog contains
a blank on which one may list the
animals of his choice and the maxi
mum price he is willing OF pay
This blank can be detached and
mailed to Dean Iddings or Profess
sor Hickman at Moscow, Idaho, and
one Of them will attend the sale
and bid for the person sending
them the order. However, they
will not bid up to their authorized
limit on an animal If 1t can be
bought for less money nor will they
in any case bid higher on any AMI
NAL than it's merit. in their judge
ment justifies. This affords anyone
authorizing these gentlemen to bid
for him, the protection of his own
price limit and the further protec-
ton Of Dean Iddings' or Professor
Hickman's judgement. This is
highly advantageous to people con
templating buying Shorthorns for
both are men of unquestioned abil-
ity In judging cattle and are well
posted as to values in addition to
being known to pe thoroughly hon
est and reliable.
1t is probable that a good many
people who are too busy to attend
the sale personally will commission
n of these men to bid for them.
The busy season may cause a poor
attendance and light bidding and 1t
is possible some good buys can be
made.
Mr.. Dunn has an extensive ranch
near Wapato. Washington. where he
has bred Shorthorns for several
years, and has grown to be one OF
the largest Shorthorn breeders in
the Northwest. He has been very
successful and his stock have been
of the best always. Day-Rothrock
