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.

BAKREX IN TRAC K OF WAR
J. M. 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. , .

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. One thing Is cer
tain, and that Is that we can not
hope to realize much benefit from
