GENERAL PURPOSE COW.
An Extract of a Paper Read by It
Scott, of Milwauirte, at the
Dairy Association.
I bear malice toward no one who lias
the idea that there ia no such thing as
the dual-purpose cow, 1 hope no one will
take anything I may say in this paper
in any other than a fiiemlly siiiiit.
"The dual-purpose cow has (lone
more towards, relieving suffeiing hu
manity than any other animal, that is,
if she comes up to my idea of a cow.
She, in the first place, should have
healih and constitution ; should be de
scended from a family noioil for a larse
flow of rich milk, and also capable of
producing ci'lves like herself, that will
be the pride of the breeder - to look at,
or a joy for the butcher who handles
them, either as young veal or prime
steer beef; and the epicure who gets a
roast of thifi kind of beef will bless him
self that he was born with an appetite,
and has Biieh juicr steaks and roasts hi
fill the aching void that comes to man.
As to the breeds that are good general
purpose cattle they are tlia Red. Polls,
Ayrshires., Shorthorns, Devons and
Galloways., Each breed has its place
and habitat, ami wheje one will not
thrive the other will.. It is a fact that
Great Britain, has done more in the im
provement of livestock than all the rest
of tte i world combined, and the cattle
that are a success in the couth of the
British isles may be failures in the north.

So the people have developed a breed
euilaMe to their environment. If will
be so in our state and tins United States
as we get down to the Imi-iness of dairy
ing and raising beef.
A good generid-pnrpe cow should
give at least 6030 pounds of milk and
make 300 pounds of butter a year, and,
when dry, fatten easily and make COO to
700 pounds of good beef, worth now $50.
This kind of a cow will have a good con
stitution, be able to stand a cold i-torm.
now and then if it should come up be
fore nhe could get to "shelter, and her
calves are always in demand , for propa-
eating her species. My idea is that
i Grat Britain owes her superiority as a
nation to her catile, for in developing
her cattle, she has also developed a race
of men and women surpassed only by
her eldest daughter, the United States,
and the daughter has kept on in the
mother's, way by still sticking to the
cattle of the older country, and if some
of her children do get in love with the
special-purpose cow, do not blame them
as it is a free country.
We And some who think the United
States large enough for us, like the spe
cial cattle men and women, who only
want one bn ed of cattle. Now, I am an
expansionist, and believe that it is the
that, gives good milk ana plenty of it,
good beef and plenty of it, that make
Oregon and Washington boys and girls
so much larger than their parents,'' and

.. The Potato Boom.
During the past week there was a
boom in the potato market, until the
supply practically gave out. The high
est price paid was $1.50 per sack, but
they were of exceptionable quality, and
the sucks were well filled. For once the
1 growers made money by hnl.iing on to
their potatoes for a raise. It is said that
the greater portion of the crop on the
west side of the river , was sold during
the winter. A buyer from Oalifornia
was in 'that sjti n for a considerable
portion of the winter, and purchased all
the potatoes that he could secure and
shipped them away by boat. A few
speculators made money in potatoes.
Louis Jaguar, of Portland, who formerly
resided here, is said to have cleared $15, '
0,10 on potatoes purchased last fall. He
lost $3 O0J on his purchases last year.

Next Week
Miss Joehnke's Lecture. . '
A crowded bouse g-eeted Miss Wil
hemine Joelmke, who gavo a very inter
esting lecture on Hawaii at Shively's
hall for the benefit of the public schools
Saturday evening. The views were ex
cellent reproductions of Hawaiian life,
customs, curiosities and resources. The
lecture was very instructive and gave the
audience an inside view of, the wonders
of the greatest of . Ameiica's new posses
sions. '
The only fault to Miss Joenhkn's
lecture Is the pso of too many adjectives.
The most successful lecturers now give
their descriptions in the simplest and
most expressive language, which adds to
its effect. This will be observed in the
greatest lecturers and word painters,
who are popular on Chautauqua plat
forms. The greatest drawback to the lecture
was the noisy conduct of a number of
school boys on the rear seats. They
nude night hideous by their screeches
and whiatlos, and needed some big po
licemen wilh clubs to keep them still.
It would be a relief to the public for the
parents of those boys to keep them at
homo until they learn enough to conduct
themselves properly. They should be
given an object lesson, like the boys who
were disturbing the Salvation Army
e vices a few days ago.
