Pvppv pnm- j ... munity In the county not organized should do so at once anr thus get every farmer and orchard's! who has a dingle squirrel on his place to help kill off this destructive lest. Co operation and united effort Is the only way any pest can ho properly controlled. Do not say or think, "Let George do it," hut rather say, "It is a good movement and I am going to be public-spirited and will do my share by buying enough poison to kill the squirrels off my cwn place and more If the circumstances war- i rant. If such a spirit should lie maintained throughout the spring, i summer and fall there would be a ! great reduction in the number squirrels. Continue another year and the following year you may rest from such labors. But keep at it, everlast ingly keep at it, and the ground squirrel pest will soon be un Incident of the past. Three and one-half tons of this bar ley; poisoned according to the form ula which the government has used to eradicate the pest from one million acres of national forest, has been pre pared and is now ready for distribu tion. Over half of this has already gone out. It will kill the squirrels if properly put out. It is sold you at Thveeparts cracked corn, one wheat bran, one part ground er than finely ground.

Clover hay, alfalfa hay or the most palatable roughage available should be given the calf after the second week. Alfalfa is liable to cause scours, and should he Ted sparingly at first and. Increased only after the calf gets accustomed to It At first hay should be furnished only a hand ful at & time and be placed so that it can not be soiled. For the first six months, at leant, the calf should receive all the roughage of good quality that it will eat up clean. When the calf has hecess to good pasture duqing the first six months it need not receive other roughage. It is not advisable, however, to have the calf under two months of age on pasture in the early spring. I should be thoroughly brushed and cleaned each day.

LIBERAL STOPOVERS Our Agents are welt informed. Ask them regarding train schedules, or write JOHN M. SCOTT, General Passenger Agent Portland SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES KKX-LityiiiK Contests Prof. C. T. Petterson, director of the Missouri poultry station at Moun tain Grove, Cal., has arrived at the following conclusions from tho results of contests held. under his direction. The list Is worth reading by every chicken raiser. The early bird turns tho worm Into profit. High egg production is half breed ing and half feeding. The ideal hen scores high, lays many eggs, and lives a long time. Hens know as well as men what and how much to cat. ' Success depends half on the poul try and half on the poultryman. Poultry do their part oftener than the poultryman. Hens know the attendant as well as the attendant knows the hens. Early moultors often prove to be lazy loafers. Nature stimulates ln the spring. Man should help in the fall. Ninety eggs pay cost. The 150 egg hen is worth six 100-egg hens. Males in pens reduce the total egg yield for the year. Too much sunshine is just as bad as not enough. The trapnest makes accurate pedi gree records possible. A sweet soil Is just as necessary for poultry as for corn. Medium weight hens of any variety are usually most profitable. Early maturing pullets usually make good egg producers. Reduction of yellow in shanks In dicates ecg production. Color has little or no influence on egg production. Incubation depends on the egg, in cubator, building and operator. The baby chick is supplied with 36- hours' food when hatched. Water is worth Just as much as feed in egg production. Tho price of feed does not tell its value ln making eggs.- A large red comb indicates health and egg production. Birds neither eat nor drink at night. Feed In daylight. Feed, water and shade will keep hens In a yard. Groves&Beeari - , n Highest Prices Paid for Junk Buyers PHONE 253 Fourth St., Ashland, Ore. in from three to four weeks after planting. V the plants are allowed to remain long in the open ground the roots lose their crispiiess and deli cate flavor, and, in order to secure a constant supply, successive plantings should be made every two weeks. Timt'lv Hints For the Home (Hardener. Washington, D. Cv Radishes and lettuce are favorite plantj in small gardens because, while these are at traction additions to the table, they are in a way luxuries on which many housewives hesitate to spend money. Lettuce does not withstand ' heat well and thrives best, therefore, in the early spring or late autumn. In order to have the leaves crisp and tender it is necessary to force the growth of the plant. The usual meth od of growing tho plant for home use Is to sow the seeds broadcast In the bed to remove the leaves as rapidly as they become large enough for use. It Is better, however, to sow the seeds in rows 14 to 16 inches apart, and when the plants come up to thin them to tho desired distance. With the heading type tjils should be about 12 Inches apart. This will result in that the calf will oat until three the rormation or ramor .... 1 1 .1.Ht nf 4llAfl pounds a day Is reached, probably heads ana mo enure yinm m dnnlnr th third month. Grain fed ' be cut to supplement separated milk should never bt mixed with the milk. It Is questionable whether the preparation of grata ln any way, such as soaking or boiling, is advisable under most circumstances. Wheat bran Is eaten readily by young calves. Corn has an excellent physiological effect and to a great extent may take the placo of fat re moved from skim or separated milk. Experiments tend to show that corn for use. Frequent shallow cultivation should bo given, for head lettuce, Big Boston. HanBou and Cali fornia Cream Butter are good varie ties. The looBe leaf lettuce. Grand Rapids or black-seeded Simpson are recommended. i Radishes can bo sown in the open ground as soon as the soil is moder ately warm. They should be planted in drills 12 to 18 inches apart and tWnned slightly as soon as the plants are up. on a quicn, ncn sou buujd Apple Future Is Bright. Hood River, Ore. Basing their predictions on yie rally In the dej mand for-northwestern apples at the present time, local apple marketing agency officials are optimistic over the outlook for 1917. Although tho supplies now on hand exceed those of any like date for for mer years, the Apple Growers' Asso ciation reports marketing conditions as exceedingly active. The first of this week the association was sixty carloads short in filling its orders. Approximately fifty telegrams, call ing for apples, were received by Sales Manager Sieg today. "This condition, following the usual dull period after the Christmas holidays, is phenomenal," said Mr. Sieg. "My orders have been coming in so fast that I have called for a conference of warehouse men for to morrow, so that I may take an In ventory of my stock before I confirm all the orders received. The condi tion that prevails Is, In my mind, prophetic of a good applo market for next fall." Although the total tonnage of the co-operative agency of growers reached 1,000,000 boxes in the 1916 season, all but about 100 carloads of the fruit has been shipped.
