The gentlemen seemed pleased with results at the Experiment Station and found crop conditions in general very gratifying. The trip up from Riverside through the Valley gave them an oppor tunity to see what is being done in the way of improvements and increased acreage under cultiva tion by the new homesteaders. It is qnite evident they were fa vorably impressed from remarks made respecting what they had observed. The party left Thursday morn ing by way of Canyon City, it being the intention to do some fishing for trout in Bear Valley en route. The weather was ideal for this trip and their friends in Burns hope the recreation afford ed Mr. Farrell and his party as much pleasure as their announce ment of the extension of the line into this Valley affords us. "Between Savage and Tiger" Every man. woman and child with a drop of red blood in their veins loves a picture or a story of adventure where the hero is on the brink of death or misfortune every minute, but wiggles out every time by some hair-breadth escape and finally proves that virtue triumphs over vice and all ends happily. Just such a pic ture is George Kleine's latest success, the Cines photo drama "Between Savage and Tiger" a six part story of adventure on the high seas and in the wildest jun gles of India in which tigers, elephants, antelope, water-buffalo and tribes of wild savages play a conspicuous part. It would spoil everything to tell the Btory h rv and it suffices to say that the extremest imaginations of Kider Haggard arc outdone in this exciting picture which still has all the convincing attributes of plausible reality. That it could happen is proven by the camera. That it did happen is another story all together. An tony Novelli, I .-ali Giunchi and Lorenzo Lupi, of "Quo Vadis" and "Cleopatra" fame, play the principal roles, supported by a large cast of capable artista who promise to become favorites themselves, soon.

This branding law had been a bone of contention among local growers ! ever since its enactment and they placed the responsibility upon the state organization. Many did not really understand the real worth of this law and what it would eventually do for these engaged in the industry.

The brand law was again taken up informal ly in different groups and after a lutter understanding of mat ters local men began signing up membership blanks and before the day was over practically every representative stock man in attendance had become a mem- j her of the organization.

Following the afternoon ad journment several car loads of the visitors visited the packing plant and were enthusiastic over the excellence and completeness of this modern plant. The but chers had just finished slaughter ing several head of hogs and two beeves and the carcasses were hanging on the hooks ready to be placed in the cooling rooms, etc. It was an interesting sightseeing experience. A banquet was prepared at the Burns hotel in the evening and the visiting officers and also the members of the organization who had joined during the meeting all gathered around the tables with a few friends and spent a very enjoyable hour or so. Geo. Young acted as toast master and several responded in a happy way to different subjects. Again the fine hand of Correll was shown when he bribed the toast master to call on the manager of this great religious weekly to re spond to a toast. He called for another glass of water and let it go at that with the remark to the toastmaster to call the next num ber. One friend among the vis itors said he was ashamed of us but he would have been more ashamed had a speech been at tempted. Correll is going to (CoatlWatd oil piiKf two) Cat Rid of Your Rhaumatiun.

The tentative plans are for an all day program and will include a tiasket dinner, sneakinir. in spection of crops, etc. Among the speakers will be representatives of the Agronomy Department, Animal Husbandry Department, Experiment Sta tions and Extension Department of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege and probably a representa tive of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Farmers' Day at the Station his year should prove very in - k-iciumk tuiu iiiBirucuve wun t such speakers as are suggested. In view of the larger acreage under cultivation this season and success of Farmers' Day last year it may be expected that a larger number will be present on this occasion. Conditions are more favorable this year than last for the dry farmer and up to this time the crops at the Station have made a very satisfactory growth. A representative of The Times Herald visited the Station last Sunday afternoon in company with some of the delegates to the Stock Growers' meeting. It proved quite a profitable trip to the visitors who took a particu lar interest in the alfalfa and field pea crops. Some of them were surprised to find so many varieties of these excellent for age crops and most favorably impressed with the methods of cultivation and experimenting.

Swine on Dairy Farms. "Swine are particularly adapt ed to dairy farms where the skim milk can be made to fill in the m between the weaninK and fattening p,.. G. Samson, swine specialist at the Oregon Agricultural College. "With the exception of high grade dairy heifer calves, pigs will pay a better price for skim milk than any other class of stock, and pigs do not come very largely into competition with dairy cows for the products of the farm. Pigs can use but very little of the rougher forages on the farm, which form the basis of the ration of the dairy cow, and the fattening pig is a large consumer of concentrates. In fact, under most intelligent sys tems of farming, pigs and dairy cows on the same farm will pay better than will either the one or the other of these kinds of stock raised exclusively on the same farm. The exception to this rule is found in localities where milk condenseries have been develop ed so that there are a few by products of the dairy business which can be utilized in pig feed ing."
