If Yoa Have A Friend Worth
Loving.
11 you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yea, and let him know
That yon lova him, ere IIfa's evening
Tinge Ui« brow with sunset glow.
Why «hould good word* ne'er be Mid
Of a filend—till he la dead?
If you bear a long that thrill« you,
Mung by any child of song.
Praise It. Do not let the singer
Wait deaervmi praise« long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you bear a prayer that moves you
Ry its bumble, pleading tune,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
How before its God alone.
Why should not your brothers «bare
The strength of "two or three" in prayer
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping evee.
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own our kinship In the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brother's heart is sad?
If a silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on bis face,
Share it—'Tis the wise man's saying—
For both grief anti joy a place.
There's health and goodness in the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.

Docking all Ismlis and castration of
all buck lambs intended for market, is
recommended by H. A. Lindgren, college
extension specialist. The best time is
when they are a week or two weeks old,
weather being favorable.
"There vm a time when 75 per cent
of lambs sold on the Port'and market
from Willamette valley bad long tails,”
save Mr. Lindgren, ' and a high per­
centage of buck iambs were uncastrated.
Not more than 26 to 30 j«er cent now-
come in with long tails and the per­
centage of bucky lambs has fallen off.
Farm flock owners who plan on bold-
Ins their lambs past the milk stage will
find it to their advantage to dock and
castrate as it means 60 cents to a dollar

when we see that this is 7 to 14 pwr cent

Mountain Lions Give
Hunter Holiday Thrill
For most of the seasoned Government
hunters the life from day to day is not
particularly exciting,
but adventure
with catlike tread is often approaching
just around Hie corner. Shortly before
Christmas, hunter William Kreppa, of
the Biological Survey,
United Htatea
Department of Agriculture, working on
the Rio Grande National Forest, turned
a corner which brought him face to face
with adventure four times compounded,
lie had a coyote poison line laid north­
west of Del Norte, Colo., on the divide
between
La Garita and Old Woman
Creek.
In the course of riding this
poison line to check up on the results of
his campaign
he
came across the
carcass of a freshly killed five-point
buck.
To continue the story in the words of
Stanley P. Young, junior biologist, who
reported
the incident to the Ufological
Survey, "he noted lion tracks and that
the killing of this deer has been done
by a mountain lion.
Having wonder­
ful tracking conditions, because of «he
snow, be immediately struck out horse
back and followed the trail.
Within a
short distance he jumped four lions and
killed the whole outfit witn his rifle ”
In speaking of hie experience, Hunter
Krepps said:
"The time was exciting
for a
few seconds, but I managed to
kill the pack." Mr. Young expressed
the belief that the hunter was telling
the truth
regarding the exciting
moment, and added that this was the
best singlehanded kill oi mountain lions
in a short course of time ever made in

Recently

observations on the number of times

wetter the weather the less likely
they ate to go to water more often than
every second or third dsy.
In dry. hot
weather many of them go every day ;
but others go only twice every three
