When the charge was made the surprise was a double one. The honored couple were surprised, as was evidenced by their expressions, but the surprise that was a real sur prise was when the fact was learned that it was the birthday anniver saries of both Mr. nnd Mrs. Sindt. At this Juncture Ihe joy of the guests was at its zenith, and if ft pioneer couplo was ever entertained, (his was the time. The time was spent by the relat ing of pioneer incidents; the pros pect of our coming conflict with the foreign nations; the changes in our state, county and district, caused by deaths, marriages, etc., and amusing up-to-date stories.

The following item appeared in a recent issue of the Pacific Hoine Btead, one of the foremost rural Journals published on the Pacific Coast. It tells of the fine dairy cat tle owned In the Ueedsport section of Douglas County: tieoige G. Carle and W. P. ReeiH have exchanged their pure-bred Ayr shire bulls. These are as fine blood as. there is in the state. There are eight such bulls In this section of the country; the owners are W. P. Reed, ti. U. Carle, J. II. Dallcy, Wm. Kou pee. K. I). Duckett and J. It. Maben. who owns three of them, and he owns the only herd of registered Ayrshire cows In this section. Mr. .Mabcn's herd hull is Wlllowmoor Sentinel 111, from Wlllowmoor farm at liedmond, Wash.; the cows are as follows: Dei-nice Sebastian 20.ri2S, bred by .1. V. ltntterfleld Co., South Montrose. Pa.; Haganetta 2.1030, bred by Brown & Urondon, Peta luma, Cal.; Oak Blossom 31995, bred by J. A. Harrold, Woodland, Cal.; Mercedes 27912, bred by Hrown & Hrondon. These four cows aro heavy producers. In one year they have made in milk and cream $UG, five calves $(Sr0, of which three have been sold for $400 to It. I). Ouckctt. or Scottsburg. Oregon, which is one year's work for four cows. The herd is a credit to any county. Does it pay to raise pure bred stock, or does it pay to raise scrubs? Any man can see that the best is none too good. We have one of the best dairy counties in Ore gon and we need more breeders of fit) Ck pursbred stock hsre. Wa have other breeders who have other breeds of cattle and who are shinning up the ladder with purebred sires. We welcome all such farmers. We have a new railroad and you watch us grow.
