and nenhew, of the same state, have
purchased the Chumos ranch 10 miles
southeast of Elgin and are now in pos
session of the same, says the Elgin
Recorder.
The ranch is one that has been own
ed an. doporalted for the past several
years hy Mrs. Dr. Fowler-Chumas,
widow of the late Dr. 0. S. Fowler.
There is a considerable acreage under
cultivation, the balance being timber
and grazing land, much of which can

Congoleum Rugs have aided in solving what was a per

living room cheerful at moderate cost.
Cc-igoleum Rugs are made by a new and wonderful pro
cess. They do not fade in the sun, lie flat without fast
ening and never "kick up". To clean them, wash them
for they are waterproof. Congoleum Rugs are a re
markable value. .

transaction Mrs. Chumos secured a
business lot in Seafcle valued at $10,
000. The exact consideration has not
been made public but is understood to
be in the neighborhood of $12,000. .
Rev. Brown, one of the purchasers,
arrived several clays ago from Seattle
and Mr. and Mrs. Clark arrived this
morning and will take charge of the
ranch.
Rev. Brown has been a minister of
the gospel for GO years and has been
prominent in his line "of work. Both
he and Mr. Clark are men of excellent
standing. Mrs. Libbie Beach Brown,
wife of the pastor, has also been ac

tive in public work.
It is the intentions of the new own
ers to convert their holdings into a
modern dairy and siiock ranch aind will
work exclusively to that line. The
ranch, when fully developed, will be
one of the most valuable in this sec
tion and as a summer home has no su
perior in these parts. The residence
thereon is a modern log structure of
commodious size.
Mr. and Mrs. Chumas will reside in
Seattle, where they have been for the
pa sib two years, their son-in-law, Mr.
Gray, having had charge of their in
terests here.
While it is with iregret that J21gin
people lose the Chumoses, they 1 are
glad that their place is to 'be token by
t he Brown and Clark families and wel
come Ithem heartily to this community.

COUNTY FIELD
AGENTS NOTES
(PAUL II. SP1LLMAN)
Pure Breed Sock Shorthorns
Most breeders of pui toreed stork
sturted out in the stock business with
ordinary stuff. Mutny of them used
grade sires, but their herds did not im
prove as they wanted thorn to, they
may have he J their own, but that is
not enough for a progressive stock
man. To him his herd must steadily
improve, to come uny where near what
hi expects of them, and he realizes
that better blood must be added to im
prove upon what he already has. Some
time or another he becomes '.'despar-"
ate" and buys a pure breed sire, pays
a price that shocks the rest of the
f.-imily mid causes all the minrhlwr t .i
shake tfieir heads and "wonder what
is going to happen next." With some
men the mext thing that happens is
that he begins to "crave the unadult
erated article," in other words, a herd
of iptire breeds in place of his grades
Once again he 'becomes rash and in
vests in one or more registered fe
males, and in the course of a few
years finds himself one of the well
known breeders of the community, and
if he has particularly good stuff, his
reputation' soon spreads, over the coun
ty and often over the entire nation.
The above roughly outlines in a
way how G. G. Tat of La Grande,
started into the pure breed cattle and
hog business. Pure breed Shorthorn
cattle and Berkshire hogs are to Mr.
Taal's mind about as good a "make"
of machines for converting the prod
ucts of the farm into the finished ar
ticle, as ever "walked on four legs.
Rut it is the cattle that interests us
the most just at present.
It lias been the object in Mr. Taal's
breedoing operations to select his an
imals, for individual merits and not
alone on the strength of pedigree.
Because an individual has a good (pedi
gree does not aiways make for indi
vidual excellence, but on the other
hand outstanding individuals always
are well lneed. It was in his search
for- individual excellence that Mr.
Tall seki.ed herd headers and fe
males from the herds of such breed
ers as W. 0. Miner of lleppner, A.
D. Dunn of Wappato, Wn., Frank
Brown, of Carlton, W. J. Townlcy of
Union, The Chalmers herd of Forest.
Grove and others. His herd bull
which he purchased of W. O. Miner,
is Orange Junior, by Orange Bloom bv
The Baron. His dam was Welcome
of Meadow Lawn 0th. While such
names as Alexandria Maid, Import
ant, Yord Bnpton, Royal Mark, Crown
Stamp, The Marquis and other well
known names are found in the breed
ing of various of his animals. "Qual
ity first," has been the motto of this
breeder and price has been a second
ary matter.
Cow Testing Association
Cow testing associations are being
organized in nwiiny parts of the coun
try and are doing a world of good in
getting at the business end of daiiry-
I ing. At the present time a move-
ment is under way to organize an
j asso;iation in this section. The plan
1 h to include dairy herds i!n the Grand'.
! Ronde valley. The County Agricul
turist of this county is cooperating
with the writer in working on this
association.
j To form a cow testing association
1 20 herds are necessary and at least
400 cows must be entered. The 20
herds ure necessary so that the tester
can put in that many days each
month, spending an entire day at each
place. The 400 cows are necessary
so that enough money will be secured
ion the basis of $1.50 per eow a year,
' to cover the. cost of hiring the tester,
' buying sulpplies, and other things
necessary to carry on the work.
The main purpose of a cow testing
association is to enable its members
to find out accurately, which cows in
their herds are the money makers and
which are the boarders. Complete
records are kept by the tester on
each and every cow in the herd. Many
dairymen say that they are entirely
able to do this themselves, and have
the best intentions, when saying this,
to test their animals. They may even
go to the expense of buying a test
ing outfit, and carry on the work for
several months, but the Inumber car
rying on this work systematically
through the whole year is insignifi
cant. More over, it is really cheaper
to have the work done than to do it
ones self. It would take the aver
age farmer a long time to become
familiar enough with all the details to
do the work as well eis the tester
docs. Through the cow testing as
sociation, a man is hired to do this
testing and record keeping monthly,
and he docs it, regardless of whether
it is the busy time of the year or
not, and at the end of the yean it is
known definitely of every cow wheth
er she is a profit maker or a boarder.
j Tnere are many other advantages
i resulting fhom a row testing associ
ation. It crenfo on ir;terc.;t in dairy-
ing in the community th"t could lie
