Kpc eially prepared rations are being lea to mo various groups in order to determine their relative value and adaptability to the livestock in dustry under Kastern Oregon con ditions. Stock cattle are being wintered on various amounts of hay and straw supplemented in some cases with limited ((uantltlea of grain and cottonseed cake, a by-product from vegetable oil refineries which Is relatively high in protein. These rations are planned to determine satisfactory winter feeds that may profitably bo used in years when thero Is a shortage of hay. Under normal conditions alfalfa hay con stitutes the chief factor In practic ally all livestock feeding opera tions. This may ho fed just as It is taken from tho field, or it may bo run through a feed cutter and chopped fine or even ground into meal. Ktockmen generally favor chopped hay duo largely to the relative convenience In handling and also duo to tho fact that thu livestock eat practically all without iny waste when fed in this form. Of course the process of shopping or grinding is somewhat expensive nut therel'oro Increases materially the cost of the hay. which is nat urally an Important factor to be tonsidercd In all feeding operations, rhc experiment station has already iccumulatcd considerable data along this lino and is likewise .strengthening these results by con linm-d tests this year. Present ill ve.stigatlons cover the feeding of these different rations to cattle, sheep und hogs. The beef cattle. Include short yearlings and two yar olds fed grain with alfalfa hay either long, chopped or ground. The sheep lols Include u flock of llamp shlro ewes; some being fed on coarse alfalfa and fine alfalfa treated similar to that for cattle. Others reeelvo in addition to the ilfalfa supplementary feeds such us beets, cuttonseed cake and mo lasses. There are also three lots of ewo lambs that aro receiving lung, chopped or ground alfalfa hay in connection with their grain ra tion. Kvcn brood sows are carried through the winter months very satisfactorily on rations consisting lurgely of these different alTalfa cunibjualiuus with small amount of grain. Vroiu tho records resulting from these, tests the merits of these dif ferent rations are determined ami disseminated among tho stockmen, Logging, feeding, water condi tions, all como In for their place in the discussion of farming und other conditions In Wallowa vicin ity this week. Outside of the log ging Industry, things seem to be more encouraging in that section. laical logging operations are re ported to be (iulte slack ut this time. With the lumber trade being soinewnat duller than In some of tho past seasons not as many uro eiiKugeu in togging tills winter. Sev eral contructoi-s were busv on some of tho smaller Jobs during the fall months while conditions worn cellent for cutting und hauling of mo logs to me mill pond, but dur ing tho1 past few weeks some of these Jobs huvo been finished and this time. W. C. Oettings and son who have a contract in the Hear creek district nave a good bunch of logs cut In tho woods there und have their camp established but aro being held up on getting tho logs out because of the poor condition of the rmni and ground near the camp for haul ing tno logs. Their camp being In. cated somo distance from Hear creeK, they have also had much dif ficulty in securing sufficient water for camp use, during tho past few weens moy hnve dug three wells out none of them have supplied very much water. Tho water situation remains nniio troublesome to many of the farm ers In the dry furmimr areas vnt Whllo many had felt that wlih ilm lurge amount of moisture in form of rain and snow which has fallen during the past month would sure ly result in some Improvement In mo water supply. It appears that It has hud but little effect on the wolls and springs yet. Koine are still compelled to haul water for house-use and for watering some stock which cannot be driven to places where water is. The weather here during the past" week has been exceptionally mild for this season of the yeur. with but little freezing at nights. The ground is covered in most pints of this county with a light blanket of snow, the sunshine melts some of this each day resulting in the sur face of the ground being quite slick and muddy during the warm part or me day. Cars uro still being used on most of tho roads yet. Feeding of livestock is being dono at the most of the farms at this time. Those who are lucky enough to have bunchgrass which was not pastured off closely dur ing the sumiuer and fall are get ting along with but very little feed ing yet. 1, W. -Minor who has n large tract of grazing land leased from Mrs. Margaret McDonald has not had to feed his band of sheep any additional feed up to this time, tho greater part of the lanil lies facing the south and the small amount of snow which has fallen has soon melted away allowing the sheep to have excellent pasture. California Oil Well Is Sunk 9280 Feet KlG.VAl, 1III.I., fal. (AD Man may nt-ver drill a hole entirely through the earth, but the .Shell Oil company is making u good start with un oil well. The well Is Ncsu No. 11, on the very crest of Kignal lull. It de scends i 0 feet. Shell officials s.iy that deepening of the well was moro or less of an experiment to determine how far down oil may be discovered. iJrilling has been suspended temporarily, for the condition of tho oil industry Is such. Shell offi cials hold, that it is inadvisable to make any new discoveries which might result in increased production. Somo day Ncsu No. 1 1 w ill be deepened. Drillers of the well found their greatest difficulty In shutting off water., which seriously interfered with the work. So far the company has spent 5200,000 deepening the hole. Deep holes do not go vertically, but zlg zag on their downward' course. The shaft of this well has never been surveyed, so the officials do not know just how much the hole does wander froni tho straight und narrow. All the drilling lias been done with rotary tools, rather than the older percussion system. Uiei for Poppy Se.d Ancient Greece used poppy need to season brend. Persians sprinkled the seed over ihelr rice, nnd In In dia it Is still tied as a food and a sweeimeat. In Frnnec the seed Is used In nwking a bland oil, often substituted for olive oil. Many na tions use poppy seed to season breads and pastries. It Is also used for a bird seed. body. Thousands of examinations have shown that disturbances of nutrition nnd physical defects aro extreiuely common. Many individuals nro qulto un necessarily below a fair standard of health. Health Is not merely absence of diseuse. Much can bo said In regard to the euro of tho body without reference to dlscuse. On the other hand, diseases often are not discovered becuuso they cause no discomfort und uro en tirely unknown to tho Individual.

Ity Dr. Frederick Strieker Health is essential to the enjoy ment of life. To niomote health should be the constant aim of every good citizen. It is not so much a question, noy, of desira bility of health but of means by which everyone can secure better health. There is no sharp dividing line between the well and tho 111. Most people consider themselves well if they are not ill in bed. The really well population is not lare, prob ably not over ten per cent. The really sick population is undoubt edly over ten per cent, between the two wo have about eighty per cent of tho population which is neither well nor sick. They may be troubled by numerous discomforts due to a faulty working of the throughout lire. Good health de mands that physical llfo be given due consideration. Ono should not only have energy enough to keep out of a sick bed but a reserve to tuko euro of his work with vigor and enthusiasm. No matter how well one may observe tho rules of health tho hundicaps of a defect like decayed teeth, diseased ton sils, poor sight, or defective hear ing will often seriously Interfere with ones work and happiness. Ordinarily people consult a phy sician only when they aro sick and I cannot work. It is much better to employ a physician to keep you in good condition than to wait until sickness incapacitates you. Most peoplo are not far-seeing In re gard to themsolves. It is desirable 10 know a great deal about health but knowledge nlono will have no effect on health. It Is the right kind of action that counts. Good health requires a regularity of ac tion. You must form good health habits and practice them every day. When good health habits aro properly formed they tend to be come unconscious. Tho way wo stand, the way we walk, the way we breathe, tho way wc cat, the way wo exercise gets to be a mat ter of habit. The person who is well trained In health does not find it necessary to be thinking all the time about his health. There is more to be gained from good health than from anything else in tho world.
