and chloral hydrate, of each 1 ounce and about ?
ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia. If there ia
any visible appearances of constipation, I give a.
laxative of oil or aloes. Place the animal in a com
fortable box or stall, and if the formation of gas is
not checked in 15 minutes from the time you givo
the hydrochloric chlorate solution, repeat it, and
after the leffects of the belladona and cannabis in
dica and chloral have subsided, if the animal is still
showing signs of pain, repeat. It is a good practice,
I believe, to give injections of warm water and soap
per rectum. Clothe the animal according to the
season of the year and keep as comfortable as pos
sible. Do not crowd medicinal treatment too far.
As soon as the improvement is noticeable be very
careful, as too much medicine is worse than none
at all.
Stock in Central Washington.
E. F. Benson, the rustling special representative
of the land department of the Northern Pacific rail
way, returned to Tacoma last week from a trip
through the central part of Washington. He stated
that he was greatly pleased with the outlook for
crops of all kinds in all sections he visited. In an
interesting conversation Mr. Benson spoke of tho
immense stock ranch of T. S. Blyth, located in tho
Moses lake district, who is the cattle king of tho
state of Washington. He sold 600 head of yearlinga
and 2-year-old* steers at 3^4 cents per pound deliv
ered at Coulee City July 1. This sale was made in
the early spring and by many people was consid
ered a very unwise sale on the part of Mr. Blyth.
His stock are all half grade Herefords and better,
and the wisdom of his bargain was shown when ho
received for his yearlings $21.35 per head and tho
2-year-olds $31.50. The general belief is that range,
stock should be held until three years old and geft
the benefit of the growth on free range, but when
such a fancy price as the above can be secured it ia
plain that the range man can well afford to sell hift
steers at that age and carry a larger stock of cows.
Eastern Washington is a breeding ground for tho
Montana ranges and the feeding yards of the middle
western states.
Mr. Benson adds that inquiries are coming into
the land department by several Montana stock
growers for land to establish places to be used asi
"nurseries" for the rearing of stock for the eastern,
markets.
Mr. Benson reports that the system of leasing
land to sheep men, in which work he has been

inoculated this season by Dr. S. B. Nelson, state
veterinarian, with virus to prevent blackleg. This
is one of quite a number of herds that the doctor
has operated upon in this manner, and it is proving
a remarkable success, there being few losses from
this disease where thus treated.
Nels Larson is enjoying a good business at his
creamery at Rexville. The daily average of milk
received is about 7,000 pounds, and the semi-weekly
shipment of butter about 2,000 pounds. A new sep
arator has been added, and other improvements
have been made to the building.
