Alomc the line of what mlnht be
termed "intensified" dairying Oregon
dalrymnn will find hlHtory of a pure
t bred Molstelu cow owned by the Mis
souri Agricultural College a most in
terestluK study. Wllhln a period of 12
months just ended, this cow produced
38.40." pounds of milk from which
727 pounds of butler were made. At
. the rate of 7 Vfr cents per quart, which
in a fair avenge; tho cow earned
$090 in tho year. Tho cost of her feed
was $K0, which leaves $f! 10 clear
profit. In oilier winds. It would re
quire five ordinarily Rood cows to
met this record, and at $80 per head
for feed tho nut Income would be re
duced to $290. IntelllKcut breeding
will produce the same results right
- here In the beautiful valley of Unip
qua. It pays to keep only the best.

price, you pay In Chicago, when you
send us our wheat. You have to pay
6 cents for H ounces of bread, while
we get a loaf weighing (14 ounces for
10 cents. Our four-pound loaf never
costs more than 12 centn, and usually
only 10 cents. 1 confeHS I can't under

Ottawa, Canada Journal: Ending
a trip of 7,000 miles, Sol Snyder, of
Mt. Carmel, Illinois, was in the city
yesterday between trains. Mr. Sny
der arrived here In the morning from
Houston, Texas, and left lu the af
ternoon for Kansas City Seven
weeks ago he left his home, travel
ing to the northwest territory. In
Sampler, Oregon, he visited a daught
er, and in Itoseburg he stayed for a
chort lime with a son. in this place
he met 0. H. Hayes and his son,
Verner, formerly of this city. They
are doing well In their new locations
and making money, be said yester
dav. As soon as I hit Ottawa I re
membered that another son was in
the Ottawa State Hunk, and I Imme
diately got interested In the town.
Mr. Snyder swung around the big cir
cle, traveling south along the Partite
coast and then coming around thru
the southland to Houston. "It was
a delightful trip," he said, when
speaking of his Journey. "I saw some
or the most, immense products that I
ever did nee. Among them was a beat
that weighed VI Vi pounds; a 90
pound pumpkin, and a 72 pound
squash. I myself weighed a potato
that scnled at 72 ounces, while I saw
peaches, six of which would fill a
he If gallon can. All of these I saw In
Roseburg, Oregon. I have been kick
ing myself ever since I left, for leav
ing. Hut next April, If I live until
then, I will bo back there to stay for
good.'
'Mr Hayes and son, Vernon, men
tioned in the foregoing article, are
well known residents of Edenbowor.)
