POULTRY LEADS BETTER STOCK

POULTRY LEADS BETTER STOCK.
Unusual interest in systematic poul-
try improvement throughout the coun-
try is apparent from reports received
by the United States department Of
agriculture in connection with the
Better Sires, Better Stock" campaign.
Figures collected thus far indicate that
more poultry is kept on farms in the
United States than all other livestock
combined, and that a greater proper
ton of the poultry is of pure blood
than any other kind of live stock.
The records also refute the fire.
quent assertion that most live stock
raisers take little interest in feathered
stock, leaving it largely to the women.
A Connecticut farmer who recently
enrolled in the "better sires" move
ment is an example of the interest of
men in improved poultry. He listed

Stock Mems Association, who return

meeting of stockmen from Western
states, reports the Reno Gazett. He
stated that feeling of optimism pre-

considered favorable for Nevada in

California stockmen have Jared bet

cause in that state measures were TAX
en- months ago to dispose of surplus
cattle This left the market fairly

beef cattle in California has been
good and this condition was reflected
to some extent in Nevada although
most OF the stock in this state is of
the feeder class and not greatly affect

Grazing Rates
Not to Rise

Grazing at present is the principal
source of money return TO the gov
ernmen; from the national forests. so
states the secretary of agriculture. f.
T. Meredith in his just published an
nual report to the president Since
1915. adds the secretary, the grazing
fees have been doubled, with the
view OF making them commensurate
with current rental rates for neigh
boring private lands of the same
character. When the existing rates
were established. the users of the
range understood that they would re-
main In effect for five years, and many
of the grazing permits were issued for
this period. The value of the grazing
privilege on many ranges subsequent
ly advanced and a considerable fur
ther increase in the fees developed
The good faith of the government
would be impaired by such course.
Furthermore. to advance the fees at
tnt pTeseiit tiiht "ouiu auo Se'io"Si'
to the instability which confronts the
national forest livestock industry be-
cause OF changing market conditions,
and would be neither just nor good
public policy.
No policy has been laid down by
congress for the guidanc of the de-
partment in the exercise of the ad-
ministrative discretion. with which II
has for fifetn years been vested. to
determine the conditions under which
the use OF the range should be per-
mitted. II congress desires to pre-
scribe such policy. says Secretary
Meredith. 1t should not take effect un-
I'll after 1923, when the existing leases
will expire. Even in the absence OF
Legislation, the department will make
a classification of the ranges and fix
a new scale of charges, to be imposed
in 1924, under which the fees will rep
resent the actual grazing value of the
particular portion or group OF permit
ees. Before the new scale Is deter
mined, an opportunity will be given
local associations of national forest
range users to submit any data re-
garding the fairness of the proposed
fees which they may desire to present.

INFECTED COWS
BUT 3 PERCENT

DR.. Nielsen. who has been testing
dairy stock in Carson Valley for
tuberculosis, completed the work this
week and reports that he found condi-
tions very satisfactory, in fact, far less
evidence of the disease was found than
had been anticipated. The tests con-
Quoted last year disclosed the fact 10
per cent of the dairy herds of this
Valley were infected with the disease,
while the tests this year show that
but three per cent of the herds we're In
fected. In most instances these were
among cows that are known as
'spreaders" or carriers of tubercolos-
is. In another year, DIR. Nielsen
states. that all trace of the disease
among the dairy stock of Carson VAL
ley will have entirely disappeared
As a direct result of the disease
among cows. the loss to farmers rails
ing hogs has been figured ont to be
$3.50 per head. This comes from the
feeding of skim milk to high from In
fected cows. causing fatalities among
young porkers. As a result of the de-
crease of the disease among the dairy
stock. the loss In pigs has been re-
dnced to 45 cents per head on the total
production in Carson Valley
When the veterinarians we're first
sent into Carson Valley to make tests
of dairy stock, and the subsequent
condemnation of the infected herds.
in some instances including nearly
every COW in certain herds, the farm
ers did not take kindly to the pro-
gram, even though they received fair
price for the condemned cows by the
government 1t happened at time
when butter-fat was bringing high
price and to replace the condemned
herds was no easy matter However.
the depleted dairies were soon built
up again. and realizing the great
good that has been accomplished, the
farmers are exceedingly thankful! that
the tests hayebeen made, and their
dairy herds cleaned ont of all infected

Bugard Has
Started Work

The Burgard Tunnel and Mining
Company has begun active operations
with a full head of steam. The Hum
dinger Tunnel site on Hot Springs
mountain was surveyed by Archie
Millar on Monday and on Wednesday
work began on the Linney claim un-
der lease and option by the company
form Howard Beers.
Arrangements have been made for
early resumption of work on the War
Horse tunnel to reach the contact
from which valuable ore was extract
ed years ago, and also ON the Washoe
held by the Burgard Company from
Judge Krummes, under lease and op-
tion.
Material has been ordered for dwell
ings and shops for the company,
which will be under construction as
soon as weather and roads will render
the same practicable.
Manager E. Chaplin Gard is eviden-
cling ability and economy by his sys-
tematic methods and careful expendi-
lures.
Work in the Humdinger tunnel will
be under the direction of Frank Beck
er. practical mine operator with ex-
periences dating many years back and
covering the principal mining camps
Of the west Alaska and Siberia. He
Is now surface trending to definitely
locate the junction of the mammoth
Humdinger and Linney ledges on Hot
Springs Mountain.
The Humdinger tunnel will intersect
three large east and west ledges. The
western terminus of the principal
ledge ofthis series is the Dangberg
Hot Springs. Practically all of Hot
Springs Mountain has been located by
Mr.. Gard for the Burgard company.
One unbroken ledge measures over
II 900 feet and at one point Is. more
than 100 feet wide. The Humdinger
ledge measures over 5000 feet in leng-
tn and runs from so to 100 feet in
width. From this ledge ore samples
have assayed as high as $1,000 per ton.

Testing Cous
Encouraged

Believing that COW testing assoc
iation would result in much good for
this community, We publish this report
from the Pacific Dairy Review
One of the most encouraging things
to be observed is the work of the var
ious commercial bodies throughout
California in behalf of the ranchers in
the respective communities where the
commercial bodies are located Every
booklet or bulletin coming to this
office features the advantages and the
resources of the country roundabout
The matter in mind at the present
momoent is the indications that many
of the local chambers of commerce
emphasize the dairy business when
the dairy business is a recognized
industry of the community.
Picking up a copy of the Arcata
Union of November 25th we notice a
dairy item of more than usual interest
Humboldt county is well known as the
leader in the dairy business in Cali
forina, at least in many respects, and
before going to the Union article we
want to refer to the Monthly Cow Tes-
ting Association News Letter issued
November 26h from the Western office
of the Dairy Division of the u S. De-
partment of Agriculture at Salt Lake.
The News Letter gives the reports
of thirty-one COW testing associations
including more than 1900 cows in
California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Colorado and of these thirty -one
associations the one at Arcata with
1905 cows shows the highest average
production of butter fat for October.
The average is 1926 pounds of butter
fat to the COW. The second average
is by Ferndale No. with 81 90 pounds
average for HAS cows. while Riverside
with 376 cows in the association shows
only 1884 pounds. And of the. 1905
Arcata cows, 305 are designated on
the barn sheets, according to the re-
port of milk tester Guern Kerri as
producing over 40 pounds of butter
fat. The best herd average was made
by the herd of John Enos with 20 cows
inFerndale No. |. His COWS averaged
1880, but in the Arcata association
the herd of Martin Pontoni composed
of AZ cows averaged 1858 The hero
of G. Thomas, in the Riverside assoc.
iation (above referred to- shows an
average of 1929 for 30 COWS.
As mentioned in the above article
the fact that the Arcata Cow Tesine
Association produced an everage OF
1926 pounds of butter fat during the
month of October is most remarkable
when certain factors are taken into
consideration.
First, there Is the fact that these cows
represent practical dairy management
There are few. II any, purebreds in.
cluded In the number and consequent
ly no efforts were made for big re-
cords. Secondly. 1t was the month OF
October. month not generally con.
sidered conducive to big milk flow in

School Play
Draws Crowd

The Christmas operetta, while
Mortals Sleep" was presented by the
pupils of thel Minden grammar school
Wednesday night at C. V. |. C. hall to
being unable to secure seats.
when Mortals Sleep" is a pleasing
little story built around fairy tales.
Four school boys stroll into the woods
after being disheartened by the fact
that teachers and parents have told
them that fairies did not exist To
their JOY they find brownies fairies
and a prince that rules them. The
prince arranges for an entertainment
ad at his mystic command the woods
become a place of children's dreams
Besides the fairies, and brownies.
Mother Goose, Little Boy Blue. Little
Bo-Peep and others of children s
fairy tales were brought before the
four mortals. Each character had a
song or a piece to speak and delighted
the big audience. Finally old Santa
Claus appeared and the appropriate
stage setting with the fairies and all
made picture that gladdned the
hearts of young and old alike.
A dance by four high school girls
was well executed as was the step
dance by little FRITZ Dangberg. In
fact every child who took part showed
marked skill and careful training by
their teachers Misses O'Brien and
Riatt.
A large Christmas tree beautifully
decorated and covered with colored
electric lights stood in one corner of
the hall, and its presence reminded
the audience the Christmas, with its
good cheer is near at hand
Following the entertainment a
social dance was held.
