' FEEDING GRAIN TO COWS ON PASTURE There are some questions that cannot he answered by "yes" or "no." And so n is regarding lue question as u whether It Is profitable to feed grain to cows that are on pasture. There are some things, however, that are very certain and not open to argu ment, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. It will pay and pay well to feed grain to good cows when they are on poor pas ture, and It will not pay to feed poor cows at any time. There comes a time each year when pastures are at their very best, when cowfe other than the most highly pro ductive ones refuse silage and grain. They are then-"receiving feed in abun dance and a properly balanced ration, as is evidenced by the overflowing palls of mllk they give night and morning. They need no grain, and It Is well for a time to withhold it, giving the powers of digestion a rest. Unfortunately the favorable season lasts but a couple of months. Then grass gets short and the cow begins to decline in milk flow and get poor In flesh. She Is still on pasture, but con-' dltions are vastly different If at any time of the year she needs grain she needs It now. She says so herself, but it Is only the thinking man who under stands that the decrease in milk flow and flesh are but the signals calling for assistance. Just as soon as the milk flow begins to decrease It will prove profitable to begin feeding grain and soiling crops Admirers of the Holsteln breed of dairy cattle contend that this breed is capable jit doing: a greater volume of business that Is, milk production at less expense than the other dairy breeds. The Holsteln cow is kind, docile and has great capacity (or converting roughage into dairy products. The cow here pictured is a pure bred Holsteln. or silage. Only a small amount is re quired at first, but as the drought comes on and the grass deadens the grain and succulent food should be gradually increased at a rate that the cows will continue to produce with that persistency which insures a profitable year's work. All experience and experiments have shown that cows will give more milk and keep in better condition if fed grain when on pasture. Some experi ments show that there Is no Imme diate profit from feeding grain, the cow merely paying for the feed at good market prices, but only the. short sight ed man would fall to feed because of this, for It Is the after effects that give the profit. The one who looks ahead realizes that winter will come before his cows freshen again and if they have been allowed to decrease in milk flow during the summer, when milk is cheap, they cannot be Induced to give a lnrge yield when milk Is high. In fact, there Is but one conclusion to draw and one an swer to the question as to whether It pays to feed cows grain on pasture or at any other time. If In order to keep cows milking persistently and at their best it Is necessary to feed grain, then It is advisable and profitable to do so, provided good cows are kept under comfortable conditions, for none other than large, persistent milk and butter fat production pays. Treatment For Calf Scours. Give castor oil in milk to clear the Irritant from the digestive tract, then mix In each pint of milk fed dally a tenspoonful of a, mixture of half an ounce of formaldehyde in fifteen and a half ounces of freshly boiled water. Triple sulplioearbolates, to be bought at tho drug store, would also be likely to help in such a case of scours, due to bacterial action In the Intestines. Hoard's Dairyman. Heifers Holding Up Milk. Kindness Is about the only thing that can be followed In preventing a heifer from withholding her milk, as It Is commonly called. Withholding of milk Is not a voluntary action on the part of n cow, but an involuntary ac turn, and for that reason kindness must be followed in order to put the heifer In an attitude so she will not withhold her nillk.

S a BALLOT TITLES CONFUSE Danger of Mistaking Single Tax for Rural Credits is Pointed Out "The Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund amend ment" is the ballot' title for measure number 306 and 307. "The Rural Credits amendment" is the ballot title for amendment number 318 and 319. There is' danger that these titles may be confusing. The word "loan" in number 306 and 307 may lead Bome voters to believe that it is "The Rur al Credits amendment." Voters should be very careful in distinguish ing between these two measures on election day. ' . There is the widest possible differ ence in the effect which the adoption of these two measures would have. Amendment nunjber 306 and 307 is a single tax measure, and has for its purpose the confiscation of private ownership 'n land. Amendment num ber 318 and 319 is just what its name implies: an amendment giving rural credits or cheap money to the farmers. The first amendment, num ber 306 and 307, would, it is said, simply ruin the state of Oregon if it was adopted. To defeat single tax vote 307 X No. No More Backache for Her Mrs. J. M.

Tax Limitation Lower Taxes If there has been any doubt in the mind of any voter about the wisdom of lmiting taxaDion, it should have been removed by the events of the past few days. The budgets of proposed expendi tures for next year have been made up by the state and by the city- of Portland. The budgets call for ex penditures way in excess of anything which has been attempted before. Every state institution has asked for big increases in appropriations, ex cept one. The one institution which does not ask for an increase is the East Oregon Insane asylum. Every other institution asks for big increas es. Do our public officials feel that the taxpayers can afford to pay unlim ited taxes? What is to become of the state if this annual increase does not stop ? How can anyone afford to pay the tax bills? It is an outrage to ask the tax-payers for big Increas, es in appropriations when it is so hard to get money. Taxes should be decreasing these times, not increas ing. Contributed. Issues Challenge P.
