A happy new year to all readers, of
the Courier and all people every
where.
Here's hoping that the new year
will witness a cesation of war in Eu
rope and all wars everywhere.
C. A. Johnson came over from east
ern Oregon last week to visit his fam
ily, which is living on a railroad claim
south of town. He says business is
booming around Pendleton and be
tween two and three million dollars
are on deposit in the banks of Pendle
ton. Over $200,000 was lost on the
election around Pendleton, but money
was so abundant, with big prices for
wheat, wool and stock, that nobody
seemed to care.
The Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, having 4800 acres
along the Sandy river exempt from
taxation, have now secured another
reduction in taxes on account of low
er volume of business. Suppose the
poor ranchers who are on the ragged
edge would put up such a ridiculous
claim. The corporation lawyers
would bristle with indignation at such
an idea. Be careful or the same fate
will overtake you as overtook South
Dakota, where the farmer's organiza
tions have secured complete control
of the state government and where
the farmers have some rights as well
as the rich and powerful.
The entertainment at the school
house last Saturday night drew a
good crowd and the program was very
well received. Everybody in the
neighborhood received a gift.
In fact, there is one day in the
year when real Christmas is prac
tised, when the warring nations re
fused to fight on Christmas day,
They know what the Great Teacher
meant when he said, "Peace on earth,
and good will to men." Pride and
selfishness and a desire to grow rich
and great are the cause of all the
misery in the earth. Let us hope in
the future that Christmas will come
more than once a year.

nounced the program and stated that
over $29 was donated for the occasion
and all had been expended for good
cheer but 12 cents.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gerber and son

David Swales, one of Oregon's
militiamen, is back from the Mexican
border and is visiting his father and
brother. He reports that when he
left in November they were having
some frost of nights, which was quite
different from the summer heat of
120 degrees in the shade. He says
the only crops produced there are
canteloupes, watermelons and cotton,
and these can only be produced by
irrigation, as there is no rain.

FI5H MEAL AS A PIS
FATTENING RATION
Prepared by United States department of
agriculture.
Recent experiments by the United
States department of agriculture Bhow
that fish meal manufactured from fish
waste from sardine, menhaden, salmon
and other fish packing establishments
Is a valuable food for pigs when used
with certain other food substances.
Iu the experiments fish meal was
compared with tankage as a supple
mentary feeding stuff. The growing
pigs, which were all In good thrifty
growing condition, were about three
months of age at the -beginning of the
experiment and were fed for sixteen
weeks. The following rations were
fed:
Lot l.TEight pigs were fed four
parts cornmeal, four parts middlings,
one part tankage.
Lot 2. Four pigs were fed four parts
cornmeal, four parts middlings, one
part flsh meal.
The digester tankage was figured at
$50 a ton and fish meal at $35 a ton, an
estlinute based upon the current prices
of ilsh fertilizer at the time these ex
periments were made.
During the growing period the lot
fed cornmeal, middlings and fish meal
made a greater daily gain and a cheap
er gain than the lot receiving the tank
age supplement. The lot receiving the

fish meal supplement consumed 122.3
pounds more feed, gained a total of
28.5 pounds more und cost 30 cents
less per 100 pounds of gain than did
the lot to which tankage was fed. At
the close of the growing period the
average weight of the pigs fed fish
meal was 201.5 pounds, while that for
the pigs getting the tankage supple
ment was 191.5 pounds, a difference of
ten pounds. From observation there
could be noted no difference between
the two lots with respect to growth in
the way of general development which
would Indicate that one ration was not
particularly superior to the other in
meeting requirements for growth In
pigs.
At the close of the sixteen weeks'
growing period the same twelve hogs
were divided into different lots In or
der to have them as uniform as possi
ble to stnrt the finishing period of
twenty-eight days.
Lot 3 received four parts cornmeal,
four parts middlings, one part fish
meal.
Lot 4 received nine parts cornmeal.
one part fish meal.
Lot 5 received nine parts cornmeal.
one part tankage.
The lot fed cornmeal, middlings and
fish meal during the finishing period
did not consume as much feed as the
lot fed corn aud fish ineul or the lot
fed corn and tunkago. The cost of
producing 100 pounds gain In the lot
fed corumonl, middlings and fish meal
was 72 cents less thuu In the case of
the lot fed cornmeal and tankage.
Both lots, however, were about equal
with respect to the average gain per
pig during this period. The lot fed
nine parts of cornmeal and one part
of flsh meal made a better showing
than cither of the other lots In the rate
of gnln, pounds of feed fed per 100
pounds gain, and the cost of 100
pounds gain.
From this experiment the conclusion
Is Justified that fish meal Is a very
effective supplement to a grain ration
for pigs. Hogs relish It and are ex
tremely fond of It, principally because.
like tnnkngo, It is a flesh product.
In this experiment fish meal was
irporior to tankage in all comparisons.
although the average dally gains and
rate of gains in all three lots used in
the experiment were exceptionally
good.
Corn Silnge- For Lambt.
Corn silnge can be used to great ad
vantage In feeding fattening lambs is
the word coming from the animal hus
bandry department at Iowa-State col
lege. Some dry roughage as alfalfa or
clover buy should be fed In connection,
however, or the lambs will lose their
appetites and gains will become slow
and costly.

You can test it.
Lawrence Nathe, 903 Madison St.,
Oregon City, says: "Eight years ago
I was laid up for several months with
inflammatory rheumatism. Most of
the time I was perfectly helpless
and my whole body was sore. I
could hardly bear to have anyone
come near my bed as I was so sensi
tive to the least noise. My kidneys
were in a pretty bad way and they
were very congested. I took about
six boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills al
together and since then I have had
but very little trouble from my Kid
neys and have been feeling good in
every way."
