there la no cause (or general alarm. The
recent rains will prov c)iiite helpful.
However, late fall graaa, without sn ad

There are perhaps fewer cattle in pro

there have been in the pait half-century.
Good cattle will certaiuly command big

nothing ia light to even suggest panickv
conditions. Stock feed of all classes
will doubtless t high this Winter, con
seaueully the farmer h uld (col with

withholding of supplementary feed until

in good shape. Last year some of
his apples sold as high as $1.7.1 per

this season there has been a big
rrop in Oregon, and if they gial
$1 per box, over and above coats of
shipping, they will do well. But,
even at thin price, $2,500 is a pret
ty neat sum to get out of an apple
orchard. Mr. KeiliinZ is of the
opinion that the Baldnir.s do belter
here than any oilier variety. His
