DAIRY WISDOM.
Files are particularly vicious
now during the warm days.
Protect the cows in some way,
as the toll the files take Is large. t
8 The silo and dairying always
go together. The silo when right-
ly used will help to make the
cows more profitable.
The way to secure a good dal-
$ ry herd Is to breed it and pro-
t duce It on the farm rather than
to depend upon purchases every
season. .
In keeping cows never be with-
out clover. It Is one of the
foods essential to good dairying.
A herd of good dairy cows is
the best insurance against hard
times or a slump in prosperity,

SWEET CREAM BEST
FOR BUTTERMAKING
In general the souring of cream Is an
Indication of its age and condition
under which it has been kept, writes
O. W. Holmes in Better Farming.
Very sour cream, then, naturally Indi
cates that the cream is very old or has
been kept at too high a temperature.
In the creamery It makes little differ
ence whether the cream is very sour
from old age or temperature, for in
neither case can tho cream be made
Into first class butter. The market
value of cream docs not depend on the
percentage of fat alone, but on the
sourness or percentage of acid as well.
Sour cream generally results from
the lack of Immediate or thorough cool
ing after separation. Investigation
shows that sweet cream of a good
quality can be produced on the average
farm with but little extra labor and
expense. Many farmers are now de
livering sweet cream only and at that
make only two or three deliveries a
week. These farmers, of course, are
taking advantage of the natural Ice
they stored during the winter.
Other farmers are resorting to the
use of running water, a tank, a cool
spring or well or a cool, well ventilat
ed cellar, which greatly assists In main-
The Brown Swiss are probably
the oldest o the dairy breeds. They
have been raised In Switzerland as
far back as the history of that
country dates. They are recognized
aa one of the major dairy breeds In
this country, although they are not
so numerous as the other breeds.
The bull shown is a Brown Swiss.
tainlng a fairly low temperature. Spe
cial cabinets for cooling the cream
with Ice or running water can be con
structed at little cost. If a limited
amount of Ice or water under pressure
Is available the corrugated surface
coolers can bo advantageously used.
One-half ton of Ice per cow is proba
bly sufficient for cooling the cream dur
ing the summer.
The farmer, especially the one who
grumbles about cream prices, should
bear in mind that the man wlio con
trols the price and quality of creamery
butter is the one who produces the
cream. Wholesale butter merchants
are continually looking for high grade
butter and are willing to pay a spe
clal premium for it, but the poorer
grades of butter, roughly estimated at
about 80 per cent, soon glut and dull
the market because of the limited do
mand. In order to force this kind of
butter on the market the price is drop
ped far below that of the higher grades
of butter, and it is this price that reg
ulates the price paid for the cream
from which that butter was made.
Sweet cream is worth from 2 to 4
cents more than sour creum to the
creamery purchasing it for butter mak
ing, and tho dairymen should urge
rather than discourage the grading of
cream and the paying for same accord
ing to quality. The eroam grading
ysteni of paying according to quality
must eventually be adopted by all
creameries, as it Is the only method
whereby the quality of cream and but
ter can be Unproved.
Making a Clean Barnyard.
A muddy barnyard may bo avoided
bv first grading so as to permit proper
drainage and then covering the surface
with several Inches of broken stone,
upon which in placed n layer of cinders
or gravel. This forms a hard, smooth
surface which dees not get muddy and
which permits the easy scraping up
of the droppings of the cows at fre
quent Intervals. Loose stones which
encumber the surface of many farms
may bo picked up at odd times and
used for this purpose.
Keeo Heifers Growing.
During their second year feed or
pasture dairy heifers In such a way
s to get the maximum growth. It
has been found that the most produc
tive and profitable cows are produced
by getting the maximum growth from
birth to maturity Heifers which are
bred at from sixteen to twenty months

MILLION DOLLARS ALLOTTED
Plans Announced for Work Under the
New Federal Road Act
Secretary Houston has just an
nounced the plan to be pursued in
spending the ten million dollars appro
riated by the Federal Aid Road act
for the construction and maintenance
of 'roads and trails within or partly
within national forests, and has ten
tatively allotted among the various
National Forest states the million dol
lars which is expendable this fiscal
year.
The tentative allotments to the
principal National Forest states are
as follows: Oregon, $127,794; Alaska,
$46,280; Arizona, $59,795; Arkanasas,
$11,294; California, $140,763; Colora
do, $62,335; Idaho, $108,010; Mon
tana, $89,901; Nevada, $19,195; New
Mexico, $42,622; South Dakota, $8,
115; Utah, $40,982; Washington, $91
739; Wyoming, $40,566. In addition
a total of $9,552 has been tentatively
assigned to Florida, Michigan, Minne
sota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and
Oklahoma, while tho Eastern ctates-
Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia,
West Virgina, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia in
which the government is purchasing
lands for national forests, have been
allotted $21,057. Oregon gets a great
er sum than any other state - except
California , less than $13,000 more
than this state.
"In general," said Secretary Hou
ston, "the states and counties will be
'required to furnish cooperation in an
amount at least equal to 50 per cent
of the estimated cost of the surveys
and construction. However, upon a
satisfactory showing by the applicant
state or county that such proportion
of cooperation is inequitable, it may
be altered and the ratio of cooperation
fixed upon a basis equitable to both
the state or county and the United
States."
The method followed in apportion
ing the money was explained by Sec
retary Houston as follows: Ten per
cent of the amount available each
year will be withheld as a contingent
fund. One-half of the remainder will
be allotted to the states in amounts
which will be based on the area of
national forest lands in each state,
The other half will be apportioned on
a basis of estimated value of timber
and forage resources which the for
ests contain. Amounts apportioned
but unexpended within three years,
and any balance of the contingent
fund which remains unapportioned at
the end of each year, will be reappor
tioned on the same basis as the origin
al allottments.
BORING GETS VOTER
Happy Marriage Brings New Demo-
mrat to Community
The town of Boring has another
democratic voter. J. W. Stone, a well
known farmer of that community, took
home a bride last week and Mr. Stone
rejoices, for she is, like himself, a
democrat.
Mrs. Stone was, until recently, Miss
Helen Doyle, formerly of Ohio, and
of strong democratic beliefs, although
she could not vote there. The mar
riage took place at Vancouver, Wash.,
Thursday.
For years Mr. Stone was the only
democratic voter in Boring and elec
tion after election he voted the demo
cratic ticket alone. Things have
changed of late, however, and Boring
has a number of democrats.
Mrs. Stone has the distinction of
being the first woman to pass through
the Cumberland Gap tunnel. This
was some 27 years ago and after the
final blast she walked through the
long bore on the North Carolina -Ten
nessee-Virginia line.

MARKET IS GOOD
Report from Portland Indicates Heavy
Run of Cattle for Week
There was a good run of cattle at
the Portland livestock market, begin
ning on Monday with 1150 head. Cows
were in very good demand and prices
were 15 to 25 cents higher. There

but they found a rather slow sale.
Prices were 15 to 25 cents lower.
Prime heavy steers sold at $6.75,
which was 25 cents under last week's
top price. The bulk of steers sold at
$6 and $6.50, the quality not being as
good as last week. Cows were of
very good quality, with the bulk sell
ing, as a rule, over the 5 cent mark.
There were a number of loads sold at
$5.35 and $5.40. Bulls and calves sold
steady.
The hog supply was rather limited
on Monday, 1800 head starting the
day's trading. There was a fairly
good demand from all buyers and a
brisk trade ruled. Prices were steady
to a dime higher. Tops sold at $9.85
with the bulk sales at $9.75 and $9.85.
Sheep house trading for the week
was confined to a couple of loads of
lambs. All classes of sheep were in
good demand. The choice grade lambs
are quoted at $8 and $8.25-; best year-.
lings at $6.50 and prime light twes
at $5.25 and $5.50.

Don't neglect an aching back.
Backache is often the kidney's cry
for help.
Neglect hurrying to the kidney's aid
Means that urinary troubles may
follow.
Or danger of worse kidney trouble.
Here's Oregon City testimony.
Mrs. Henry Larsen, 905 John
Adams St., Oregon City, says: "I was
subject to backache" for several years.
It used to be so bad that I couldn't
rest well day or night. When I was
on my feet a great deal, my back ach
ed like a toothache. Nights I couldn't
get to sleep on account of the constant
pain in my kidneys. They were also
very irregular and acted too freely.
I felt all played out, had no ambition
to do anything and the least exertion
made me tired and nervous. Since I
have been taking Doan's Kidney Pills,
my back feels stronger and my kid
neys act more regularly."

ONE CENT POSTAGE
Postmaster General Makes Emphatic
Statement Regarding Reduction
Efficiency in the post office depart
ment with a proper readjustment of
rates will permit the government to
inaugurate a one-cent letter rate with
in the next year, according to Post
master General Albert S. Burleson.
This emphatic statement made by
the postmaster general before the
National Association of Postmasters
of the United StatesNat their July
1916 convention, indicates that this
important reform is much nearer re
alization than most people believe and
that next winter will see radical
steps taken toward this end.
Nearly sixty bills were presented
at the present session of congress,
calling for one cent letter postage.
Scores of representatives and sena
tors have been closely studying the
matter and have become united in a
conviction that the time is ripe for
one cent postage, a reform sought for
many years, but only recently brought
to the attention of congress through
the persistent campaign on the part
of the National One Cent Postage
association. -
At the present time letteriiser.s of
the United States net a profit to the
government of over $75,000,000 a
year over actual cost of distribution.
At the same time large magazine in
terests are securing distribution of
Lheir product , at one cent a pound,
which means a great loss to the gov
ernment, and to make up this loss
users of letter postage are paying a
profit of 100 per cent.
It is to correct this great injustice
that the postmaster general and his
hundreds of assistants throughout
the country are now employed. From
all indications one cent letter postage
promises to be one of the most im
portant issues at this winter's ses
sion of congress.
