POOR COWS AS HEAVY EATERS AS GOOD ONES Feed cost of poor producing cows in Oregon is but little lower than that of high producing cows. It cost but $11.86 less to feed tho cows on test which produced 300 pounds of fat than those which produced 400 pounds, The cost for cows yielding 200 pounds of fat was only $6.75 less than for those yielding 300 lbs. Hence the difference In the total feed cost between cows producing 200 pounds and 400 pounds of fat was $18.64. Yet the valuo of their product, which cost but little less than the product of the good pro ducers, was worth only about half as much. The entire difference in cost of feed for cows producing 100 lbs. and 400 lbs. of fat was $30.09. Christian Church Reception.

Spencer of Company C, 318t'i Engineers, has written to his mother. Mrs. A. C. Spencer, some of his In teresting experiences chasing the Hun from the invaded country across the Hindenburs line. The latter prov ed their superiority, however, as mas terhnnds nt retreat, for the 318th never saw the Germans nt all In the drive In that sector. Mr. Spencer tells of tho war rid dled country which Is now the abomi nation of desolation. Bare hills, with not a living thing In sight. A few gaunt stubs of trees hold shell-riddles branches like ghost bonds. The ground, he states, is one big sore of shell holes, with trenches for miles, while endless tangles of barbed wire and broken war implements cover the country. There Is hardly any water in this ravished country, and what little there Is is not fit for use. In his communication which was dat ed November 17, Mr. Spencer said: "We were routed out about three o'clock one morning and started In full pack to go to tho front some thirty miles away. About 3 o'clock the next afternoon we came up a line of low hills from which the forest had been uprooted and entirely stripped Not a foot of ground but had bean torn up by shells or Bhovels, nnd usu ally by both. We began then to get an Idea of war. "As we crossed the areas we learn ed that we were crossing the Itin denburg lim where the American an I French line guns stood huh to hub along the entire front to batter ilielo way thru. The forest of bench, oak! and alder was completely rlddlmt nnd i ruined by shell nnd bullet, until I ' was only a tangled mass of lirokvn' brush." i After a' long hike thru the nmd j and rain Mr. Spencer said all tucvj saw was tho result ,of a runnln-; fight, but on the last day they were cheered by the sound of one of tholr batteries going Into action about haU a mile away. Undoubtedly they wero shooting many -miles, he claimed,.'! as they never saw the Germans at oil and the drive was completed that night. , . Mrs. S.- J. Irwin hus gone to So quel, Cal., to spend, several weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Clara FAR OFF SUBSCRIBER STILL READS THE TIDINGS Mr. Bert R. Greer, Ashland, Ore. Dear Sir: Like the farmer who can't farm without his pet agricultur al periodical, so am I without the "Tidings" and MY pet farm paper. I have sent my boy to Sewanec, Tenn., where the climate and alti tude seem to agree with him admir ably also the military feature, Had I met him In a strange place while on his return home for the Xmas holidays, I honestly believe I would have passed my own child by, and with only four months training at that. Everything is covered with snow here, and I expect the thermometer will be hovering around 10 degrees above by morning; hope It won't last as It did last winter. With kindest regards to enquiring friends. I am Yours very truly, W. C. PICKENS. GET THE SAVING HABIT Wtges are high; real estate Is low. Buy a home on easy terms, and have it paid for before wages come down; then Real Estate will swing upwards and you will have done more than vou calculated. The easiest money that one ever gets Is to buy low and sell high.. See Beaver Realty Co. about this and they will put you wise. 211 E. Main St..

MUST FURNISH HOMES TO i ACCOMMODATE NEWCOMERS In his report to the stockholders of The Citizens Bank of Ashland, fit their annual meeting on last Tuesday, Cashier V. O. N. Smith mudo the fol lowing statement: "There Is now demand for more property in town than is available and suitable for rent, which Is quit.1 a change from conditions only a few months ago. Rents are too low to furnish Inducement for the invest ment of new capital in residence property, but If the present condi tion long prevails rents will undoubt edly rise, which will make a bettor market for the sale of real estate, as well as furnish the inducement for capital to build additional houses for rental purposes.
