Oregon's Beet Sngar Factory.
The factory at La Grande, which
is one of the most complete in the
United States, has been in success-
ful operation for two years. The
factory began operations upon the
' guarantee that 8600 acres of beets
would be grown annually. While
this acreage was -planted the first
year, nearly. half of the growers
abandoned their crops before har
vest time, by reason of the large
amount of work involved, and as a
result only 8150 tons of beets were
delivered at the factory. The acre
age this year is about 2300 and the
yield about seven or eight tons ' to
the acre. The sugar output will
not be less than 3000 tons for the
year. ,
The factory is considerable of an
institution, and represents an an
nual expenditure of 500,000: :The
buildings and feed yards occupy 80
acres of land. The nominal capac
ity of the factory is 350 tons of beets
per day, but it actually ground 450
tons in 24 hours and turned out 54
tons of dry, white granulated sugar,
-r The operation of the sugar plant
.requires the labor of 100 skilled
men, in addition to. which there are
employed in the fields in cultivating
and harvesting the beet crop from
1000 to 1500 people. Each running
season the factory consumes 8000
cords of wood and 3500 tons of lime.

"We have a population on this

short time to have a surplus.
"Whenever the eastern market

The Future of Cattle Industry.
From the Klamath Falls Express.
Louis Gerber, who is feeding a
good many mutt- n sheep and beef
cattle on Lost river for the Cali
fornia market,' informs us that the
,,jjrice of cattle had reached the
limit." He says: . "Beef is not as
high as it was during the summer
and autumn months, and feeders
will find the profits on the wrong
side of the ledger. -
, 'The heavy fall of rain in Cali
fornia during the fall months have
etarted vegetation of all kinds and
from all , advices received - from
Southern California there will be
ah abundance of grass beef cattle1 by
the latter part of. February. "
"A great many cattle have been
shipped in the southern counties
from Arizona and Mexico during
the last two months.
; "While I don't look for cattle to
take a big tumble, there will be a
general decline in prices for the
next five years. .
"I look for two-year-olds to bring
about 25 next year. That is a
very "good price and it is a good
business at that figure.-
: "The local consumption of beef
in ; San Francisco, Oakland and
Sacramento markets has fallen off
fully.' 25 per '.cent for the present
season compared to previous years.
"It ia true that there were fully
as many cattle slaughtered in San
Franoisco during 1809 and prob
ably more, but this was caused by
the immense amount of both fresh
and oanned meats which .the gov
ernment sent.pn' the transports to
the Philippines. . ,. . . c.-;3 -,'.;U.
' "When beef ia as high as' it has
been during the past year, the work
ing people who are really . the. .con

. "I don't want td leave 'the.. im

H. H. French lost a 2-vear-old Devon

siock. several years ago ne lost z7

There is so much of it in the pasture

Farmers
and
Furrowm
A farmer is known -by his furrow as
" the carpenter is known by his chips." 'It
t.Lu . e. i i i r .
ta m uiw iiuiiu mm a true eye lo turn
a straight furrow. No wonder the farmer
wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air.
One day's work on the farm would tire
many a trained athlete. And the farmer
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
nrver done. Why does not the fanner
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivates? He puts back in phos-
Ehate what he takes out in crops, or the
ind would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into hit body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he .will soon complain of "poor
health." The great value of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital,
izing power. It gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. It supplies Nature with the sub
stances by -which she builds up the body,'
just as the fanner supplies Nature with
the substances that build up the crops.
"I write to tell you of the great benefit I re.
celyed from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery writes Mr. O. B. Bird, of Byrn
rtde , Putnam Co.. W. Va. . It cured me of a very
