Furthermore the busi ness of this council belongs in the hands of the men of tho imiw admin istration; and now 1 want Ihwie two conncilmen sworn in. It it, not a personal mutter; it j a matter of law.' "Myers shoved his chair hank" with the remark: 'Well, von cau huvo it,' and left the table, uoing Into the auditor's office.

I Am advised by Dr. Wlthycombe, director of the agricultural depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural col lege," said Mr. Lounsbury today, that experiments have been made along the lino of securing a feed bar ley seed that Is best suited for use In the Willamette valley and western Oregon, and through the experiments mndo at the college a variety of seed has been found that should produce HO bushels of feed barley to the acre In western Oregon It fs stated tlmt this feed barley, if grown extensively In Oregon, would be to Oregon as a stock feed what corn Is to Iowa. When fed to dairy cattle with hay It will make a balnnce ration, and fed with kale will also make a Imlanco ration, so that the dairymen would not need to buy bran ami shorts. It 'will be a splendid feed for fattening hogs, chickens, and. in fact, all kinds of live stock. "In order to introduce this feed the Southorn Pacific eomimny has decided, as an industrial movement, to purchase a quantity of It and make distribution to farmers along tho Hue who will undertake to plant one or two acres, so ns to make n practical demonstration ot whoi it will accom plish, the (don bolug 'to promnto ag riculture through Inducing the farm ers to grow feed barley extensively ns an economical feod for live stock, which, if done, will materially in crease the business Of raising stock, poultry and dairying throughout western Oregon.
