Herbert Rideout Gives
. His Experience.
IMPROVING HIS DAIRY HERD
Scientific Methods Used in Hi
Dairy Products No
Guesswork.
Herbert K. Hideout, proprietor
of ihs Fsirvlsw Hlock Farm, which
is situated five mili'S rt of Prine
villit, has demonstrated that di
vert Iflvd farming, good dairy cows,
thoroughbred horses end good
sprinkling of swine and chickens
is s comliirisiion that cmiiiot hr
he Urn on s ftirin.
One year ago Mr. Hideout hsd
20 Jersey rows and from these Is
raised 28 head of Calvea. The
calves wars raised on a mixture of
Wan and skimmed milk, were fd
liberally on (lie brat of alfalfa bin .
Tint paature was opto to Ibrtn at
all limes.
At present there are 17 bead of
milk producing cows on tbe Fair
view Farm and from thece an aver
age daily claiming is made of 20
Miiiid of butter of which finds a
ready sale st 40 cents per pound,
making a total daily income of $8.
Twenty-nine brad of Jersey
lock wore purchased from Harry
Liniu the dint of January, mak
ing tlis Kitirview herd a total of 52
bead. Tbe milk producing stock
will Increase to 30 bead in a few
weeks and it Is expected to keep
from 30 to SO bead as a permanent
herd.
The buildingn, corrals and all
equipment of tlio Kairview Farm
are strictly modern and every con
venience, both for the comfort of
I he stock anil ease and expediency
in handling them is being install
ed. A gasoline engine will pump
water into a large tank, from
whence it will be conveyed to every
corral. Beside this, tbe gaiioline
engine will be used for other pur
pones, including tbe propulsion of
I lif cresm separator, barrel churn
and other machines that are in
lice.
Ilei-Mh" lbs calves, Mr. Hideout
figures that bis plsnl will support
sod fatten one hog for every tow
on the fsrm. lis marketed 30
head last full at an average price
of l.'S jier bead. These, be figures,
ri quire about 15 worth of, grain
each, besides the waate products.
1 1 think I have tbe secret of tbe
butter business," lie said. "At
lcft my patrons seem to think to.
I test every cow, keep them in
good condition, and keep the cor
rals and barns clean, dry and
warm. There is always accessible
an abundance of fresh water. By
churning every day we thus avoid
making butler out of sour cream.
Tbe result is a sweet, fri-hh butter
that la hard to excel. 1 figure that
160 a month will supply tbe labor
for 30 cow plant. The cost of
feed for a plant of any aixe will de
pend, of course, on the cost of bay.
I feed my cows all they will eat,
but they do not consume more
than three tons per bead in a year
Of course, I have good pasture for
them, besides tbe alfalfa meadow.
There is grain pasture and un
broken ssge land, which the cows
like to broucs over whenever they
get a chance."
The daily churning is made op
by using tbe evening and morning
supply. This avoids keeping tbe
cream through the day.

In this age of advancement it
seems impossible to keep pace with
the times without a Uchnical edu

the teacher, the architect ar d p-r-fcssional
men generally have all
the advantages of available infor
mation bearing U'Oti their wi rlt,
but tbe farmer is allowed to rhifi

large sense because sgriculiural

good thing for the parents if thse

best methods of agriculture and
stock raising as shown by some of
our most successful farmers, plus a
careful study of some of the good
practical literature on these sub
jects our farmers could easily con
vince their boys and girls that
farm life could be made both pleas
ant and profitable.
The person that is able to pro
duce something that will add to
the pleasure and profit of tbe
country's needs, will never be a
burden to society and a parent can
teach his child no more valuable

farmers and stock raisers of Crook

young people and oar community
by spending time and money in
improving our farms and breeding
a better grade of stock each vear.

A Northwestern Prize-Winner Purhwd by J. H. Cr.jr for Bonnyview Farm.
M'e have made a good start, but
as yet only a beginning. Central
Oregon bag tbe best grade of cat
tle in tbe beef strains of any state
in the West. This fact has been
admitted many times to the writer
by the buyers at our stock yards
In view of this fact why not put
forth a little more energy and
keep tbe business advancing.
Study feeding, breeding and the
care of animals. Now is the time.
Crook county is a new country,
but it is being settled up very fast.
The passing of the large herd is at
band. Many, small herds will
take their place. Why not start,
then, with a few pure bloods that
have been bred up for many years.
In no other way can you realize
such large returns from your bay
and grain year in and year out.
An animal that has been bred for
feeding purposes will make much
greater gains on the ume feed
than one that has had no particu
lar breeding. Besides, the well
bred animal will bring several
cents more a pound as they have
much more higher priced meats
per carcass. Hence, the profit is a
long way in favor of the pure
blood or high grade. These are
facts that cannot be denied. Then
why should we waste our time
with inferior stock.
Cattle are a product of the farm
that can be marketed any day in
the year, which makes tbe raising
of beef a good industry for tbe
farmers of this country.
A Great Convenience.
County Surveyor Fred A. Rice,
with the aid of tbe Crook County
Abstract Co., is just completing
ownership plats of every township
in Crook county, and of acreage
property adjoining the several
towns, which has not been platted
into blocks and lots.' There is
considerable of this acreage around
Prineville that has been hard to
locate and assess.
The county court has just ar
ranged with the abstract company
to make tract ownership books,
showing owners of all platted lots
and blocks in tbe county. All of
which will greatly aid the county
assessor and be tbe means of get
ting much more real estate on the
taxrolls than has been done here
tofore. ' It is estimated that the amount
of additional taxes collected the
first year by the aid of these
ownership plats and books will
nearly or quite pay all expense of
their compilation.

out debate tbis year, it was thought
advisable to bold a- preliminary
try-out, which took place' in tbe
high school assembly room on
Thursday evening. This was to
select six representatives and one
alternate to appear in the try-out
on Friday afternoon. The twelve
representatives from the Alpha
Society and the eight from the
Ochoconian each deserve special
mention as each ably upheld his
side of the question, Reeolved,
"That the initiative and referen-'
dum amendment to the constitu
tion of Oregon be repealed." The
judges, Mrs. R. E Gray, Professor
Myers and L. Wylde, selected
Ethel Klann, senior; Roy Lowther,
Elmer Martin, Vernon Bell and
Charles Lowther, juniors; Robert
Kester, sophomore; Maude Potter,
sophomore alternate; to represent
the Alpha Society in the try-out
on Friday. The Ochoconians were,
Nora Livingston and Clarence
Rice, juniors; Van Brink, Elmer
Thomas, Harold Cook and Robert
Lister, freshmen; Mamie Bailey,
junior alternate.
On Friday afternoon the entire
school was on the qui vive of ex
pectancy and conjecture was rife
as to tbe fortunate contestants and
society, as the gold medals for the
debates and the Winnek debate
cup for the society, which hereto
fore had been given at the inter
society debate, were to be contested
for at this time and the judges
were instructed to make these
awards as well as to select a first
team to represent us in the inter
high school league debate and a
second team, which will attempt to
secure a debate with some outside
schoal.
