Provide Succulence In Dairy Ratipps "What Is the value of succulence in the dairy ration? Succulence Is more than Just compnon water. The water in what we term succulent feeds contains the various plant foods in solution, and the feeds have prop erties which have a beneficial ef fect on the producing dairy cow," says E. V. Ellington, head of the' stote college dajry husbandry de partment. Such feeds as pastures, silage, root crops, potatoes, an4 beet pulp have a value outside the actual nu trients that they contain, and when eaten they do mere thjan supply nutrients In a desirable form. They supply a large amount of water re quired by milking cows, and they also Increase the' palatablltty of the ration. When the palatlbillty Is In creased, the cow Is able to eat more, and thus get mjore food nutrients from the dry forage and concen trates. Succulent feeds also exert a laxa tlvo and cooling effect upon the cow's digestive system. Because of this, such feeds are valuable when used with dry feeds during the win ter. No class of feeds will secure great er or more economical milk produc tion than good pasture grasses. One of the principal reasons for this Is that grass Is a succulent feed. Green grass soems to be a natural feed, for cattle. Nature has provided "the cow with large digestive organs that enable her to get more from a pound of dry matter when fed In tho form of green feed than when supplied In tho form of hay or fod der.' Pastures likewise tend to stimulate the appetite and keep the body and digestive system In the proper time. H. Wllhelm sang two numbers . ac companied by Mrs. Wayne Wheal don, who also played the wedding march. Mrs. U. G. Dubach presided over the bride's cake In the dining room, whera Mfs. i Lester Stujz, Mrs. B. W. Rodenwold and Miss Esther Mc Klnncy assisted In serving Icesi In the garden, to which the profusion of summer bloom attracted many of the guests, Mrs.' Francis Stalley was In charge of the punch bowl. Others who assisted were Mrs. A. W. Oliver and Messrs, Fonso Bolln and W. A. Kcssl. Both Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are graduates of Oregon State college, where Mrs. Edwards Is a member of tho faculty.

I was born In Lyon county, Kansas, Oct. 0, 1808. Except for two years, In the mercantile busluess at Avery, Oklahoma, I havo epent my life farm ing. I married RchoIuy Kennedy when I was 27 years old and we began Ulo together on a farm In Greenwood county, Kansas, If some of our young farmers In this valley could get old Father Time to let tbem take a try at wresting a living from the Kansas pralrlei In '80 I believe they would be pretty well satisfied with their lot hero. We didn't havo to worry about the price of gas, repairs for the trac tor or whether Undo Sam would vote the bonus bill but we did have to kind of study about whether old Dob bin, and tho shoato would got the benefit of tho corn crop or would It be Just another year of hopes blasted by hot winds, grass hoppers and chinch bugs. Three years aftor our marriage we decided to try our fortunes in the more fertllo soil of Illinois. We arrlv ed there along with the hard times of the nineties and again the outlook was discouraging. During that year, news camo of the great land lottory to be held In the Oklahoma country, The attorney general ruled a lottery would bo Illegal and President Olevo. land ordered that people must run for tho claims Instead of draw for tbem. So tho 24 -year-old boy oud hlB young wlfo began another - trek across the prairies In search of ad venture and opportunity and we were among those present on the morning of tho 16th of Soptomber, 1803. There are many days of my life of which ! recall no single Incident but I can 3tlll vividly vlsualleo that worm sunny morning and the motley crowd, pro vided with every form of equipment known at the time on which thoy lipped to best the others and win a valuable claim, 'I would like to llvo that day over again, not as a seeker after land, but as a roacler of human, faces and horts. If one thad been there with a keen aenso of humor and nothing to do but give free rein to It, he would have had enougk funny Incidents to havo chuckled uver for a lifetime. But that was serious business and evoryones nerves wero keyed up to high tension, their faces were grim and determined. Of the two Incidents that stand out In my memory as tho funniest one was a very fat girl .standing 4p In an. old hack, .whip Jn-one hand and lines In too other. Tho .team was running at breakneck speed and 'tho hack bouncing Inithe .air. Although seemed she would surely be thrown' at each bound .of the .hack she man' aged to stay with It. She and ,der father had the same claim In ,mlnd and she beat him to It. . Tho other Inoldent was of an old Kontucklan who had a llttlo scrawny team of mulea and a very -heavy cov erod wagon. Ho refused to worry or get excited, Tho thoroughbred .horses, noted -for their racing ability ,ln his native state, bothered him .not at all Tho tough little ,cow ponies, the fast driving horses, the -bicycles and the marathon runners and champion walkors might as well not existed so far as ho cared. Every one had their own Ideas as to the best way to get there and ho most decidedly had hta. Thc start was to bo at noon and that forenoon seemed endless. Finally itho mad rush was on. We wero runnlbg north and tho line was visible on both sides for sevoral miles. For a long time :t was very orowdod and It scorned all the olalms .we came to wero takon but gradually the crowd thinned and I took"my claim about 5 hours after starting! Afterward I learned that the old Kcntucklun had taken his own good tlmo about getting started hod calmly driven out belli nil the crowd Just a mllo and a half and stakod a very valuablo claim which the rest of us In our mad scramble had taken, for granted was already claimed. The tough ilttlo cow pontes proved tho fastest over that rough ground and easily outdistanced tho others In cluding the Kentucky , race horses. The bicycles wero tho worcot failures.1 Thoro were a lew new models with wheels of equal dimensions but most wero the old fushloued big wheelers. I rode a mule. This body of land 150 miles long and 6714 miles wide was all taken within a few hours as were tlio town lots which had been stuked off In Carey, Foncs City, Enid and Round Fond. Within a few hours IhoBe townsltes wore towns of four to six thousand population. Boat that with your mining towns if you can. Thcro were many feuds over tho town lots and some over the claims and fatal shooting scrapes were numor ous. ' - I ' I II. Ltfo was rough and hard on these claims. Thcro were Improvements to bo built, wells to bo drilled and crops planted and little money to do it with. I remember black Jack wood being hauled thirty mllos and sold for S1.2S-12.00 a load and It was m 16 Inch -lengths and spilt. I camo to Oregon In 1008 settling at Flora. I later moved to Washing ton and camo horo In 1013. I havo made many moves and been a rest dent of flvo states but I llko this valloy best of all, My wlfo died last year. Of the six children born to us, live are living. Edna was born In Kansas and the other five in Oklahoma.

Sand wiches are the most Important part q? a plcnlo lunch; the school child's Ipnch revolves around them; the business man, the stenographer, tho worklngman, all depend upon the sandwich as their noon day diet, There are sandwiches of many-Varieties, from tho generous sized and sub stantial ones down to the smaller and dainty ones which even at times be come -.frivolous In nature, yet having their place in adding color and flavor to the tea or party menu. An English nobleman, tho Fourth Earl -of Bandwtch, has been given credit for tho origin of tho sandwich. This old earl was such an Inter ested gambler that he refused to leave tho gambling taUes long enough to oat. -One day, when dinner was an nounced at an Inopportune time, he gave orders that pieces of meat laid botween bread be brought to the gambling tables. Thus wo hear of the first sandwich in the year 1758. Tho avorago man's Idea of a sand wlch Is still somewhat like that of this old earl who demanded some thing substantial. Today wo realize that tho sandwich can bo made meat of good proportions, depending upon what goes Into them. Bread Is all Important for sandwiches and breads mado from the whole grain flours, such as rye, whole wheat, gra- ham or bran, furnish moro of tho protective elements (minerals and , vitamins) than does white bread. Tho next Important factor Is the uso of butter as a spread. The sandwich thickly spread with butter Is moro nutritious, as butter Is rich In Vita min A, tho vitamin that promotes growth and builds up resistance to disease. Butter makes any sandwich tastier and easier to cat because of its delicious flavor. i Although we use practically every thing In sandwiches as fillers, chevio is ono of the best because of Its high food value and tastlnoss. "Cheeses" of all kinds, from the substantial yel low American cheese to cottage cheese, used alone or In combination with nuts, pimento, lettuce, chopped celery or a score of other things, hI help build muscles, bones, brain cells rcslstanco and health. The following sandwich butters are delightfully different and suitable for any sandwich as a spread. They are especially adapted to fit Into color schemes and may bo used as open faced or fancy shaped sandwiches.
