Probably one of the most distin

Brand Whitlock, our minister to

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said
"that supreme satisfaction with
themselves is a consolation God gives
fools." Nobody is so completely en
raptured with himself and lost in the
contemplation of his greatness as a
fool. The German military ring was
completely eaten up with vanity and
thought it could soon run over
Europe and later on America.

The marketing of live stock at
Beaver Creek and Canby, raised and

conjecture that, regardless of the in
convenience of such a necessity, the
incomes from such sales reverts to
their cash registers, have another
guess coming. Both Beaver Creek
and Canby have excellent feed stock
and their prices might well be inves

competition.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER
For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
cf the greatest of their discoveries was one
Df the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast I re mI; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
'XUCKY SiriKE, the toasted cigarette,"
and uu'citd them to the public.
The result has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
. The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.

Everybody invited.
The complaint filed by the people
of Oak Grove with the Public Service
Commission against the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
has been answered by the company,
in which the company claims that the
waiting-room provided is ample for
the community. The waiting room
now consists of a space about ten
by twelve feet fenced off from the
post-office in the same room.
In order to reach the post-office it
is necessary to pass through the so
called ample waiting-room. The com
pany furnishes no freight depot.
Hundreds of people get on and off
the cars at this point every day at
all seasons of the year, and during
the summer season people come to
Oak Grove beach literally by the
thousand. The attitude of the com
pany would be amusing if it were
not so contemptible.
BUYING POULTRY FEED
Relative Feeding Values of Common
Grains
(This article is from the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.)
The old saying, "No loss-without
some gain," applies to the poultry
feed situation. High prices of feeds
have made poultry keepers consider
values of feeds as never before, and
they are rapidly learning how to buy
more economically.
While farmers have, as a rule, fed
their poultry the grain that was
cheapest on the farm, many poultry
specialists and most small poultry
keepers have been accustomed to
use their favorite poultry feeds with
out considering either the quality of
the supply or the possibility of using
cheaper substitutes. This attitude of
the buyers of poultry feeds has made
it easy fortfeed dealers to sell low
grade and damaged grain at much
higher prices than could have been
obtained if poultry keepers every
where were studying and practicing
economy in buying feeds. When
buyers of poultry feeds buy with
reference to quality and price as com
pared with the cheapest grain on the
market, the price of that grain will
control the prices of all other grains
for poultry feed.
Corresponding Prices of Grains
Under normal conditions, corn is
in nearly all parts of the United
States the cheapest poultry feed. At
the present time oats are nearly
everywhere cheaper than corn, and
in some parts of the country barley
An Offer
BUYING a phonograph, we realize
that one wants to be
before buying a machine. Many
people-have told us that they were undecided
as to what machine' would suit them the
best, and therefore hesitated in deciding.
We, ourselves, are certain that this machine
is the best machine for the home, and in
order to' dispel all doubt, upon request, we
will put this machine in your home for one
week, absolutely FREE, with a suitable num
is cheaper than oats. When corn
goes down to $1.50 a bushel, oats
should be 75 cents .and barley $1.20
a bushel to give the same value for
the money, when fed to poultry.
The relative commercial feeding
values of the grains are most readily
computed by using the prices per
hundred pounds, taking corn as the
standard and determining the relative
value of any other grain by a rough
comparison of its feeding value with
that of corn. It is not practicable
to make accurate calculations for this
purpose, but a calculation which as
sumes that, except for indigestible
matter and deterioration, the common
grains are, pound for pound, of the
same feeding value, and rate them
accordingly will meet the require
ments of the case.
Judging Quality of Feed
The common characters and con
ditions of grains which roughly
determine their values as poultry
feeds are easily estimated by the eye
or by weight or bulk in measures or
containers of known capacity.
Good cracked corn is hard, bright,
clean, and free from soft and chaffy
particles. Corn that is crushed (not
cracked), and shows much' soft,
chaffy, and scaly matter, should be
rated proportionately below good
cracked corn in feeding value. Crack
ed corn in which any considerable
amount of greenish discoloration
appears should be rejected as unfit
for poultry.
Oats and barley with the hulls on
are at once seen to contain more in
digestible matter than corn and
wheat. Again, the indigestible hulls
covering oats and barley make thoso
grains less palatable to poultry, and
their feeding value must be' discount
ed for that. An average sample of
oats should be valued about 12 to 15

per cent less than a good sample of
cracked corn; an average sample of
barley from 3 to 5 per cent less than
good cracked corn.
Oats weighing less than the Unit
ed States standard of 32 pounds to
the bushel and barley under the Unit
ed States standard of 48 pounds to
the bushel should be discounted in
price according to the shortage in
weight, while for weights above the
standards the usual discount in price
may be reduced. Oats and barley
that are much below standard weight
usually contain a large proportion of
grains that are nearly all hull.
These, poultry will not eat unless
starved into it.
Wheat of good milling quality is
not sold for poultry feed except in
sections that grow much wheat and
little -corn, and occasionally from
small local supplies. The best wheat
usually available for poultry is not
actually worth more as a poultry
feed than good cracked corn, but a
poultry keeper can sometimes afford
to pay a littlo more for it because
it can be kept longer without deter
ioration, and under some conditions
it is fed with less waste.
Low-grade and damaged grains are ,
suitable for poultry feed if birds in
good condition will eat them read
ily. They can be fed profitably if
they have been bought at prices rep
resenting their actual values for
poultry feeding, as compared with
that of other available feeds at high
prices, but eventually it will estab
lish prices for them on the basis of
the price of the cheapest feed on
the market, and not, as now, at a
small reduction from the prices of
good grades of the same grains.
