FOOD FOR Y04JNQ STOCK.
Cut Ftd Produces tht Bttt Rsiultt,
Mlssd With Ground Foed.
For young ami growing stock the
foods that contain Uio mineral ele
ments should b preferred, but while
llnsned meal and clover are used tbr
will bo tut necessity for finding bran.
A large number of farmers purchase
bran, and It will bo to their Intercut
to endeavor to know something of
th vsrlous kind on the market, as
a falling off In the nutrition foments
of tho bran uhimI may really cause It
to bo einenslve, There are also ex
cellent proprietary fooda that are well
balanced.
! Many farmers feed the ground mate
rial Independently of the coarse food.
It Is considered more laborious to mix
all the feeding material together, for
the reason that If the ground grain
la to be ml iod with tho hay and fodder
tha latter muni be panned threugn the
cutter and reduced to a fine eondltlon.
Of course, there are objnetlon to ao
doing, yet the cutting of the food Into
short lengths will effect a saving that
would more than offset the rout of
labor, as the stock would eat more
and cost less. Hut there Is a 'gain
In feeding grouad grain with cut bay
or fodder In another manner. When
the grain Is mixed with the coarse ma
terial It la more easily digested, as It
Is divided and carried Jnto the stom
ach In a condition which permit of the
gradual action of the digestive organs.
The long provender, also being In a
finer state, a great proportion of nu
trition Is thereby extracted, and the
system of treating the whole togeher
will prove economical.
Brttd and Fstd.
Those who take the position tbst
the "breed Is In the feed" may learn
something from the experiment made
at the Illinois experiment station,
where two cows were given the asms
treatment, both receiving the same
quantity of food and both given an
opportunity of ahowlng what they
could do, yet there was a great varia
tion In tho results, one cow excelling
the other. Without proper food and a
plentiful supply, no animal can pro
duce to her fullest capacity, but It Is
a fart that tha breed If an Important
matter, and soma cows will yU-ld twice
aa much as others, no .matter how
well fed both may be,
, , Green Food for Stock.
When the postures begin to give
out there will be a falling off of milk
from the cows. This Ih duo to the
fact that the farmer does not supply

! GIL ASS WARE
There is nothing more delights the housewife than a handsome
display of Glassware. And the methods of manufacture make it
possible for every housewife to have handsome Glassware. ' We
show a complete line of Pitchers, Goblets, Tumblers, in sets or
singly, Berry Dishes, Honey Dishes, Sugar Bowls, Butter . Dishes,
Spoon Holders, Creamers, etc. Assortment large; prices very low.
I. TOLPOLAR
Main St. Opp, Postoffice Oregon City, Oregon
the loss of green food from tho pas
ture. A plot of corn fodder, used as
green food being given the cows at
night, will materially assist In pre
venting the loss of ml Ik. A change
of food from green to dry substance
will nearly always cause the falling off
In milk, for which reason tho change
from green to dry fond should bo grad
ual and never sudden.
Points In Pssturing.
Msny of the pasture fields are
graised too near the ground. When a
herd of oows has free access to pas
ture they ,cut the grass down many
times and much closer than Is usually
done with a mower. No plants will
thrive If not given an opportunity to
make growth, and the grass on soma
pastures Is killed by continually check
ing the growth, while the feet of the
animals greatly damage the grass, as
the smaller the supply the more tramp
ing by the stock.
' Storing Potatoes.
There Is more loss storing potatoes
than In storing any other crop. Par
ring all waste from rot, there la a
hesvy shrinkage, both In quantity and
weight A bin holding 100 bushels will
show a shrinkage of nearly one-tenth,
j ni'nmm K)-irr ions m wi-iftiu. a
bushel basketful that will weight fully
slxty pounds In October, when taken
from the soil, will not weight so much
after being stored In the cellar during
the winter. The shrinkage In weight
Is much less when kept In pits closely
covered with earth, for there Is then
less chance for evaporation.
Two Crops In One Year,
An Interesting authority relates
the following as a successful means of
raising two crops of rhubarb In one
year: Take a largo root of rhubarb,
split It up In six or eight pieces In
March, or as early aa the condition of
the ground will permit, plant In gar
den and use the crop during the sum
mer. Then In last of November dig
the roots up and let them lay on top
of the ground three or four weeka
with the dirt that sticks to them.
Then remove to cellar, set on floor or
shelves, sprinkle with warm water
'every six or elht days, and In a few
j weeks you will have stems twenty to
twenty-live Inches long and very heavy
with small leaves. Old root without
dividing up will not do any good.
Agricultural School In Spain.
We are not accustomed to think of
Spain as a progressive country, but It
appears to he doing very well In the
matter of agricultural education. It
has In operation a number of school
of agriculture and experiment stations
and a recently Issued governmental or
der provide for traveling schools of
agriculture to give Instruction In dis
tricts not provided jvlth agricultural
schools.
Soma Tobacco Figures.
Kentucky produces over one-seventh
of the tobacco crop of tha world and
over ono-thlrd of the tobacco crop of
the United Stales. . ,
Kentucky. North Carolina and Vlr
glnla' produce over one-half of the to
bacco crop of the United States,
Wlnooneln stand fourth In the list
of tobacco producing states, both In
amount raised and price received.
Keatucky, North Carolina, Virginia,
Wisconsin and Ohio produce over
three-fourths of the tobacco crop of
the United 'States.
The average price of tobacco In Ken-
tucky ha advanced from 100 to 800
'per cent since the latter part of 1906, mixed cheat $11. Farmers seem din
duo entirely to tbe organization of tbe posed to bald for higher price.
farmers In the Society of Equity,
Msny Farmers Organising.
Plans to organize the farmers of the
country in a co-operative movement
similar to the Rochdale plan In Great
Drltlan were perfected at a conference
of farmers held In Chicago last week.
The leaders of the movement are
offlclsls of the American Society of J
Equity, better known as tbe Farmers'
Union, and tbe new organization
promise to supplant tbe old.
Already 300,000 farmers are pledged
to tbe new organization, according to
Its sponsors, and It Is probable that
Chicago will become the central mar
ket and headquarters of the society.
Incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey for $1,000,000, the new organiza
tion, which Is known as the Producers'
and Consumers' International Equity
Unon and Cooperative Exchange, pro
poses to establish markets In every
city In the country for the distribution
of farm product on a co-operative
plan.
Price Set for Farmer.
The manufacturer of an article fig
ures on what It costs to produce, adds
a per cent for profit and deterloatlon
of plant and then aets the price at
which he will sell tbe article.
The farmer buya his seed, fertiliz
ers, etc., hires labor which cost him
more each year, works hard all sum
mer and then hauls his crop in to
town and asks for someone else to
name the price at which be must sell.
Bees Swarm Late.
'An Enterprise reader keeps a few
honey bees to supply the family table
with honey. " He reports that a large
swarm of bee came from his hive
August 10, which is the latest date
In the season he ever knew bees to
swarm. He happened to have a blve
;ln his apiary filled with empty bee
comb in which he placed this late
swarm and he 'predicts that the bees
may yet make a little honey before
the season Is over.
Notes.
Turpentine and soap will remove
Ink spot, wheel grease and tar stain
from linen or muslin.
A mixture of turpentine and linseed
oil will restore furniture discolored
with water.
Moisten stove blacking with turpen
tine nd it will not burn off as quickly.
The vigorous way In which a flock
of chicken will attack a patch of lot-
Ituce or of Swiss chard at this time
jof the year shows the need of provid
ing fresh green food of some kind for
fowl during tho midsummer months,
j There Is no indication of any falling
I off in the prices of draft horses. Rob
ert Gallatly, of Benton county, recently
sold a span of high-grade Percheron
mares to A. E. Fender, of Woodburn,
for $700.; v
The grape crop of the Willamette
Valley promises (o be the finest In
quality for many years and the grapes
will be on the market earlier than
usual. Moore's Early are already be
ing shipped. The high quality of the
grapes will make the demand for them
active.
Moths will not work In a closed box
or trunk where there Is kept or un-
j corked a bottle of turpentine, or if the
contents are occasionally sprinkled.
Turpentine Is not' effective In the case
(of "buffalo bugs;" for these pests, use
gasoline or benzine.
Ivory knife handles that have be
anie fellow or discolored, by rubbing
jtwo or three times at intervals with
turpentine, will bo greatly Improved.
A Benton county farmer sold five
I head of Jersey heifers the other day
for $50 per head.
Hogs and sheep will often do well
on the same farm, but never In tho
same yard, J ;
Be careful not to overstock your
pastures. Too many sheep will spoil
the grass roots for years.

The tendency of prices Is upwards
all along the line of those products
which tbe farmer has to sell at this
time. There I no change In the
quotation for hay but the price I
stiffening up and tbe high demands

are being realized and the farmer
who parts with a load of hay at pres
ent prices even feels that he Is con

cent with holders asking a little more
for choice lots. Wheat la looking ep
and those who have considerable ars
In many Instances holding for $1. No
