H. L. Holgate. writing from Washing
ton to tho Corvallis Gasette. says : "Ore- (
Son will not lie represented in Congress i
v its fall delegation until February. ,
Mr. Tongue and Mr. Mooiy are on hand ;
and will remain nntil tlie close of the
session, but Senator Simon will not reach
Washington until the firet of the new
year and Senator McBride will start for
Oregon before then. The two senators
are, at least moderately interested in a
matter or two that will come before the
State Legislature. Their interests, how
ever, are not exactly identical. Land
Commissioner Binger Hermann does not
look bored when tlie coming senatorial
election is diacuased."
Under Oregon' ecaln beunty law
passed by the last Legislature, almoat
60,000 acalps of wild animals have ben
S resented to the County Courts ot thi
tate. and ecaln bounty warrants to the
amount of (100,000 have been issued by
the Secretary ol State therelor. wniie
no senorate record ia kent of the differ
ent classes of scalps, ofiiciuis who have
charge of thia part of the State's busi
ness estimate that 47,000 of these scalp
were taken from coyotes, and the other
8000 divided among wildcat, cougar.
mountain lion and timber woive.
Nearly all of the scalp taken in West
ern Oregon Counties are from wildcat
and cougars, and practically-all the
coyote scalp were taken in Eastern Ore
gon. These scalps are paid for at the
rate of 2 each, niaking th total due
therefor 0 ,050. Thus far lea than
$10,000 ha Won paid Into the scalp

one cent on sheep, of which there were
1373 in this county, mere was paid

of the law there have been 128 scalp
presented to the Court of the County,

Many dairymen are not aware of the
lot there ia in butter fat on all farm
whnra cream i raised br setting it in
ice water, cold water or cold air varying
wltn tne Season, ine loas carneu uu
year in and year out amount to a large
sum when a whole herd is taken into
consideration. The Kansas experiment
station baa been endeavoring by three
days' teat of a private dairy to deter
mine now mucn tnis ions i. iney nnu
that the skim milk contain from .3 to
.7 of one per cent of butter fat, or an
average of .44 of one cent, while the
buttermilk tested 1.1 per cent of butter
fat. The herd of five cow tested showed
a loa of 12.9 pound of butter per year
lost in the sknn milk and thirty-one
pound lost in the buttermilk, a total
loss of l'JO pound or 32 pounds per cow.
This, at 20 cent per pound, the price
received from private customer, mean
a loss of !.40 per cow per annum. The
farmer with twenty cow would at this
rate save $128 per year by using a farm
aeparator, and we lielieve this estimate
is not far from correct. Dairy World.
