With meat at from 25c to 35c a pound the saying on meat bills each week is a very appreciable one. The remarkable oven, with walls as heavily insulated and heat-conserving a3 a fireless csooLer, retains all the rich juices of the food usually carried off by air currents, and the delicate flavor often spoiled by caseous forties. This is but one of the many unusual cooking advantages of the Hughes Electric Range. You can bake bread .evenly without turning it; roast meat without basting; brown cake as evenly on the bottom as the top; cook cabbage and onions in the oven with very little water and no odor at the same tima obtaining better flavored food than you have ever before known. 1 Think what it means to W rults like thla, with mm work tno any otnr method cf cooking requires.

'U,ndr the new food administra- tihn regulations governing the price ot rflllT feeds, substantial encourag- nent Isoffered to the : farmer and the stock raiser, and the administra tion now hopes for their full co-operation1 In a capacity production dur ing the coming year of hogs cattle. sheep and poultry.! , c I There Is every assurance of a steady and profitable marJset, with aa ample a supply of feed as can be had by milling all the wheat possible in th northwit. The raining of-food aaimala. particularly hogs, and href and dairy cattle, is not only the pa triotic duty v every citizen so situat ed that he n do- so, but it will be a spflendid j business investment as well.i For several years to come, Jao cakise of wrld conditions, Ihe Mar kets jTor fowl animals will irvltahly hi strong ad steady, and now that the output pt grain feeds at tbe mill hats come under government control through the new licensing system, wikh a fixed price j basis, th cost of production will bo longer ire prohib itively high or too uncertain for a safe Investment. Let every farmer anid stock raiser In Oregon wake his plins; now .for. the fullest possib!e production' of all food animals, par ticularly hogs, which are most need ed! atid which will prove the . most profitable to tho producer. ; Miners Are negauited. : 'Ujnder the new regulations the miller mustr not charge the dealer morel than 38 per rent of the cost of a tori of wheat at the mill door for brfn.j All feei dealers must now op- milst; not chrge more than a Tea i crate! under a federal license and mqntjnot charge mpre than a reason b1i profit for tho handling of any mill feeds.

This is a substan tial redaction as against the prices charged for mill feeds heretofore.
