GR|SWOLO SHEEP GO
FROM WINTER RANGE

Six bands of sheep belonging 10
Griswold & Henderson of Elko are
in this vicinity on the way north
from their winter range. Five have
crossed hurry creek summit and the
sixth will cross today.
Usually they cross at Bullwhacker
pass but this year there was too
much snow, so they are coming into
Steptoe valley by the lower one.
They wintered in the nejghberhood
of Coyote springs, which is thirty
miles beyond Hot creek.
c. W. Griswold, who was hefe this
week on account of the McGill tuner
al, Is one of the owners. W. H. Bell
is foreman.
A temporary bridge had to be built
TO enable the sheen to cross a run
ring creek a few miles north of
town, the water being firm melting
snow.

"Oh, most gracious Fairy Queen"
said Mr.. Moon, I'm delighted ut the
compliment, but | am willing to let
you do the explaining"
"A substitute is something put in
the place Of another" the Fairy Queen
began.

That's true" said Mr.. Sun. '.and |

SUCCESS IN TURKEY RAISING
One of the Most important Steps Is
Selection of Breeding Stock
Look for Visor.

one Of the most important steps to-
ward success in turkey raising IS the
proper selection Of breeding stock.
Unhatchable eggs. weak poults. and
small, scrubby turkeys are largely the
result of carelessness in the selection
of the parent stock. In selecting tur-
keys for breeding purposes, strength
and yigor are the first points to be
considered. To indicate this the body
should be deep and wide, the back
broad. and the breast round and full.
The head should be Of good size and
Of a clean. healthy appearance. A

~Inbreeding Is harmful and If carried
on very long will result in the loss of
vigor and vitality. Ii Is, therefore,
advisable each year to obtain a new
tom of unrelated blood, but of the
same type. Nothing Is to be gained
by crossing varieties, as such practice
soon reduces %purebreds to mongrels.
BY purchasing breeding stock early
in the season n not only has a larger
number to choose from, but the birds
are given ample time to become ac-
qualnted with their new surroundings
before the mating season.

WELL-BREO ANIMAL FAVORED
Can Be Put in Good Condition for
Market in Much Shorter Time
Than Can a Scrub.

The well-bred beef animal. owing
to better feeding quality, can be put
In good condition for the market In
shorter time than can a scrub. At the
same time such an animal can also be
fed to advantage for just as long a
period as a scrub. This means that
there is greater opportunity for sell
ing a well-bred animal on a good
market than is the case with a scrub
that must be fed for a longer period
In order to be salable at a reasonable
price.

SLIGHT IMPORTANCE OF GRIT
Lack Of Material VIII Cause Indiges-
ton and Impaired Health
Gravel Also Helps.

Many poultry ralsers gradually be-
gin to slight the Importance of grit.
Lack Of grit means poor digestion and
impaired health. Regular poultry grit
should be kept before the fowls In
boxes or hoppers at all times. In
addition, a load Of gravel near the
chickens home would improve the
health and increase the egg yield.

alfalfa. Three similar lots OF pigs
were fed the same ration but were
kept in a dry lot where there was no
green feed. Two lots of pigs were on
trial &c days, two lots on trial AZ days,
and two lots on trial 20 days. The
average weight of the pigs In the vari-
GUS lots ranged from 81 to Al pounds
when the tests began and from AZ TO
rs pounds when the tests ended.
The pigs in the dry lots ate AIS
pounds of tankage per 100 pounds of
corn and tankage. while those on pas
ture ate 3.s5 pounds of tankage for
each 100 pounds of corn and tankage.
The pigs on alfalfa gained at the rate
Of 81 pound per day, while those In
the dry lot gained at the rate OF .32
pound a day. The pigs in the dry lots
ate 500 pounds of corn and % pounds
of tankage to produce 100 pounds gain,
while those on alfalfa pasture ate .
pounds of corn and II pounds of tank
age TO produce 100 pounds gain. Access
to alfalfa pasture reduced the grain
eaten TO produce 100 pounds of gain
nearly one-half.
considering corn worth $1.40 per
bushel or 5000 per ton and tank
age worth 500 per ton, the cost OF
corn and tankage for 100 pounds OF
gain in the alfalfa field was SSH as
against S15.47 In the dry lot. Alfalfa
pasture reduced the EOS of gains near
