SPILLMAN. i their stock at the local, state and Pure Breed Stock. -Clydes. other fairs, has been the medium. Union county certainly is on tin aside from the fact that they had map when it comes to good horses prood individuals, that has brought both grade and pure hrced. The will-' this reputation to this county. Among intrness of the breeders to exhibit .the earlier exhibitors, to take their slock outside the ou.ity is numbered J. E. Reynolds, of La Grande. Some years 'ago he and Mr. Leadbeter of Alicel, made un exhibit at the State fair, and each year since then Union county has sent a larger delegation to that fair, until Union county horse? jure the big feature of the horse ex Ihibit at the annual State fuir. When it comes to breads, Mr. Reynolds pins his faith to the Clydesdale, and it is these horses he has been breeding for 'several years. The PUllion used is byXibrty Hell, a horsa owned by Mr. Brooks "and a Wett maro, that has never been defeated in the show ring. The mare Lady Jane was Grand Champion at the Lewis and Clark fair, and is still raising coils. Her oldest colt Jjttdy Glenn, was Grand Champion at the State fair as a three year old, in 1913. Another won second as a yearling at the same fair the same year. The mare Darky Bayne, won first in the American breed division nt the Alaska Yukon Exposition. A colt out of her won first at the State fair in 1913 as a three year old. ThcM are a few of the laurels that the Reyn olds horses have won and this year they will probably go back down to the State fair stronger and toettjr than ever, after an absence of several years. Shorthorns. When a breeder of pure bread live stock decides on a change of location, be it near or far, he eeldom consents, no matter what the cost may be, to part with tha best of his stock. Thus it was with the sturdy pioneers when they crossed the plains, and so it is today with the lover of good stock. And so it was a few years ago when W. W. Green and his several sons with their respective families, pre pared to leave the state of Oklahoma for the far west and Union county in particular. In making such a change much must of necessity be left be hind, but fortunately for Union coun ty, the best of their Shorthorn cat tle, with other "necessities of life," were loaded aboard the cars and s-Jiit to Oregon. Today in and around the town of Union, you hear the expression, "that man Vinll vf HrAon'R is somn 'hull." j and he certainly is. General Hampton is by Hampton Spray champion at the Kansas City Royal. He was bred by the well known breeder S. C. Han ra, of Howard, Kansas. Then there is the young herd bull, purchased at the shorthorn sale in Portland last win ter. He was bred on the Gibson es tate in California. He is by Ring leader, by Ringmaster, three times champion at the International at Chi cago. The cows are rich in the blood if Scottislrfiarron, Silver Creek Duke, Rose Mary, Imported Rose of Shar roh, Young Mary, Josephine and oth ers as well known. Union county Shorthorn breeders must be "up and doing" at our fails if they want to carry away the blue whrjn competing against these cattle. Feeding Dairy Cattle. "A chain is no stronger than its weakest link," and I m quite sure that the weakest link in . the dairy farming as carried on in this county, is that of feeding. A dairy cow as well as any othar animal requires a certain amount of feed to maintain her body, all in excess of this is used to make milk or fat. You do not ex pect your hogs or beef cattle to put on weight if you feed them just about enough to kesp them as they are, but not to make a gain. Your dairy cow must be feed for milk production just as well as your fattening animals to put on weight. The principle of fat tening stock and thst of feeding daiiy cows is the same, in so far as an abundance of feed is concerned, but the character of feeds is somewhat different. The best feed that we have in the way of roughage being alfalfa hay, and in cases of cows giving a large flow of milk, a supplemental feed of barley is desirable. Of course during the summer months when there is plenty of pasture very littte oteer feed is required, but this will be determined by the character of the pasture. The point is this, see to it that your dairy cows nave plenty or feed, "land then weed out your un profitable ones. Unless you give the cows a chance you will not know which a:e your good ana wmcn ars your undesirable ones. Rheumatism. Serves them right There are a good many women who have found that high priced cof fee can also be economical. They have divided the cost of a pound by the number of cups it will make this has proved its economy. Such coffee as Schilling's Best not only tastes better, but goes further. The price is not low, but a pound flavors more cups. Part of the quality-economy of Schilling's Best is due to the vacuum -scaled tins in which you J?uy it. These tins permit us to grind the coffee evenly, and protect all its fresh-roasted flavor. They have made fine coffee economical. Schilling's Best is sold only through grocers. It is always packed ground. ciuinnjBCS est B If vou are troubled with chronic or muscular rheumatism give Chamber lain's Liniment a trial.

ITuir that loses ita color and lustre, or whi-n it fades, turns gray, dull and life less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep licr locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hnir which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of othor ingredi ents by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth'a Sage and Sul phur Compound," which darkens the hair eo naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has bei-n applied.
