PURELY-BRED HERD COMES TO
UNION.
County Farm Expert Gives Valuable
Hints to County Fanners.
BY PAUL H. SPILLMAN.
Several days ago I had the plea
sure or looking over the recent ship
ment of pure bred short horned cattle
purchased toy Mr. W. J. Townley of
Union and those of the son-in-law, G.
yf. Delay, of Hot Lake. These cattle
wore purchased at the sixth spring
horn show and other sales held at the
"Union Stock Yards of Portland, Ore
gon, March 22nd, 1916. The cattle
offered at these sales consisted of re
presentatives from the best breeders
of California, Oregon and Washington.
These animals carry the blood of Ring
Leader, Scottish Baron, Gibson Goods
nnd other equally good sires. Among
the twelve head purchased, is a first
prize senior yearling heifer of the
Portland Union Show, and other prize
winners. There is also a yearling
hull in the lot of the milking short
horn type. He is rich in the blood of
the milking short horns that Dick
Scott of Portland assembled in his
dairy herd, some years ago. That
these cattle will mean much to the up
building of this breed in Northwestern
Oregon, goes without saying.
Mr. W. W. Green of Union, another
well known short hom breeder, pur
chased first prize senior yearling
bull ut the same show, tit is evident
from these purchases made by these
men from -Union county, that the
best is none too good for them..
Union county has a new breeder of
pure bred Jersey cattle, Bell Brothers
of tho Gove have purchased lour neat!
of registered Jersey cows from W. T.
and L. A. Wright of Union county.
These cows are of St. Lambert and
Noble Peer breeding, in fact they
trace'to'the best blood that has. been
brought to the Northwest. The name
of their ihord header, Eminents Emin
ent indicates to those familiar with
Jersey blood lines that he, to, was
bred in the purple. . He is from Levy's
best cow.
Archie Conley, of the Cove, has been
breeding Chester White hogs for a
number of years. He has secured
herd headers from Mr. Lawshe, well
known Chester White breeder of Idaho
and also from Ohio. Mr. Conley tells
mo that Professor Simmo of the O. A.
C. pronounced his show animals to be
as good as any of the breed he has
seen in the state.'
While Mr. Sherman" Chapell of
Summerville a new hand at the breed
ing of pure bred hogs', still, the fact
that all his spring pigs have been
sold, to be delivered at weaning time,
speaks well for the class of Poland
Chinas he is using for breeding stock.
Alfalfa
If you contemplate, seeding alfa
alfa this spring, do not put off tho
purchasing of seed too late. The alfa
lfa seed crop of the United States has
been very short in almost all cases.
It is quite probable there will a
shortage of seed before the planting
season is over.
If you are producing pork and have
no alfalfa pastures for your hogs, you
cannot produce tt nearly so economi
cally as we have no other crop that
can lake its place. In some instances
red clover is being grown and is a
satisfactory hog pasfcure. Sweet
clover, also, will answer the purpose,
but as a general rule farmers that
do not grow alfalfa have, as yet, not
learned to grow any of the crops men
tioned. . .
Pigs should be given a good start
before being turned onto alfalfa past
ure. One pound of grain per one
hundred pounds liveweight, will carry
them along in fairly good shape until
they-weigh ninety to one hundred
pounds. After they reach this point
they should have access to self-feeders
and be finished for market. Self
feeders should be placed in tho alfalfa
pasture. They will make more econ
omical "gains than if taken off alfalfa
and fatened in a dry lot. Hogs fin
ished in a dry lot when fed wheat
alone without alfalfa require
422.74 pounds . to make one
hundred pounds of pork, while hogs
finished on self-feeder containing
wheat in an alfalfa field, required
348.00 pounds of grain to make one
hundred pounds of pork. These fig
ures will sihow approximately what
may be saved . ty fatening hogs on
alfalfa pasture. On the other hand,
hogs finished with barley from a self
feeder, reaulred 427 nounds to make
jlOO pounds of pork, against 373
I pounds when the hogs had all the alfa
ilfa hay they wanted in addition.
I These figures were obtained at the
. Experiment Station at Union. ' From
, these results you can readily figure
the saving of .alfalfa both as pasture
land hay, made in the fattening of
hogs.
! Ao cattle feed, alfalfa compared
with wild hay at the Experiment Sta
tion at Union, gives three times as
' good results as the native grass hayi.
If you are not growing any alfalfa
at tho present time, it undoubtedly
would be advisable for you to do so
for there is hardly a farm in the coun
ty that could not use more or less of
this crop to advantage.

Potatoes
(If you find tho Corrosive Sublimate
solution too expensive to treat your
potatoes you contemplate planting
this SDring usefcthe next best thing,
formaldehyde. This is the same
chemical used in treating grain for
smut. Use one pint to thirty gallons of
water. . This is relatively cheap, so if
you aire in doubt as to whether your
seed needs treating, take it for prrnnt
ed that it does as there are very few
potatoes in this paVt of the country
that do not need it. Soak seed for two
hours, drv. cut up as usual. Treat
ment is effective whether potatoes are
to be planted immediately or later in
the season. The only precaution neo
cessary is to store the potatoes in
a bin that has been disinfected with
the formaldehyde solution or in sacks
that have been soaked in the solution.
Not to do so may reinfect your seed.
Seed Corn
It is advisable at tho present time
to make a rourrh estimate as to the
amount of seed corn you will need,
and order as early as you can. Tho
demand far good seed coin is increas
ing from year to year and in all pro
bability seed stocks will be exhausted
by the time planting season arrive?.

Insomnia

cause of insomnia. Eat a light sup-i
milk; also take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets immediately after supper and
see if you do not rest much better.
Obtainable everywhere.
AMMUMCEMEMT I
Introducing Mr. C. Frizzell, Expert
Electrical Worker-
Realizing for some time that La Grande and Vicinity should have
a first-class electrical worker I have been endeavoring for several months
to locate sucli a man. All garages in Country Towns have men who work
on electrical equipment, but to get a graduate from the inside snops of
the Splitdorf Electric Company is no small undertaking as I have just
learned. But I succeeded in getting Mr. Frizzell, and have letters from
the Splitdorf Electric Company and other successful concerns attesting to
his ability as an electrical worker so that I can now 9ay to my trade that
I can guarantee proper workmanship on the electrical end of the auto
mobiles. Very few Garages in the country can make such a claim, but I stand
behind and guarantee all of Mr. FrizzeH's work. ' Pie is expert on Mag
netos, Generators, Starters, Storage Batteries. Come to us with your
electrical work. . .
