Fewer horses would make more work for the chemlets. devising substi tutes, and for the: manufacturers of fertilizers. ; t Cows Increasing - The increase in number of cows' in the whole of the United States tor this year ; over last year was only slight. The number for last year, was 24.437.000, and for this year, on January 1st, it was 24,- 675.000. i Vr:r;f ' But the Increase in Oregon for this year over last year was large. We had in Oregon last year 220.. 000 dairy cows. We had at the opening of this, year 238,000. . This is a most creditable show ing for Oregon.'; It shows that we are on the road to greater and greater prosperity. And when we know that the big growth is In the Willamette valley, in the trad ing district of which Salem is the center, Jt Is' af most gratifying piece of information. We are surely on oiir way to wards big things in every out standing agricultural line. ings, Universal ' City has a corral with 135 horses, several cows, sheep, hogs, ducks, geese and oth er farm stock, a big .zoo of wild animals and now the chicken ranch. The chicken ranch site was an unused hillside. . Rough and barren it was not a good site for sets.. Several teams of horses and a crew of men were set to work to grade -a' portion of it in terraces for the poultry . plant buildings. Then a big staff of carpenters was put to work on the project and rapid . progress has been made in the construction work. The colony will be com posed of four big breeding houses, each over 100 feet long, and 2 5 colony houses. J An incubator of large capacity is being installed.

COD LID OIL AS A POULTRY REMEDY Will Cure Leg Weakness in Young Chicks, According to Good Authority , During the past decade the lit erature on vitamines has grown enormonsly, finding expression In many languages, among all civil ized peoples; and yet,, to the ordi nary reader, the subject largely remains a closed book.

This peculiar element is found in the leaves of plants, in milk and eggs. as well as meat. ; Foods strong in vitamines are said to be beneficial in the case of certain diseases In man, beast and fowl. In poultry feeding the New Jersey experiment station has discovered the importance of cod-liver oil for young chicks - afflicted with leg weakness, because of the presence of Vitamine D, which is wanting in many balanced rations. It is said this deficiency ' can be sup plied and that leg weakness can be prevented., whether the chicks run outdoors or not. Mashes con taining cod liver oil, unless kept cool, are likely to get rancid. You can add the oil to whatever mash you're feeding.: mixing only enough at a time to last for a few days, or a week at longest. Weigh the mash, and mix it at the rate of one pound (one pint) of oil to twenty pounds of mash, or two and one-half quarts of 'oil to 100 pounds of, mash. Beware of oils offered Jor this purpose under trade' names. Buy nothing but guaranteed pure, refined cod liver oil.

" IMHIH There Were Over 10,000 in A 920, and More Than 6000 in Polk County i The. astounding growth of the automobile industry had led to numerous predictions that Old Dobbin had struck the toboggan, and would practically disappear from public use- Many people who loved horses felt a personal sorrow, but time has shown that there Is nothing to.it. True, there are . not so many horses on the streets of Salem today as there were 20 years ago, nut there are more horses in Marion county. The automobile has come to take the place largely of horses in the city. It has speeded up business and. thus won its place in the sun. However, the horses have contin ued to serve the same useful pur pose they always served. They no longer take the long trips, they are no longer used up in a few years by hard driving, but they are the steadfast friend of man, doing his work In the same steady effective way as before the arrival of the automobile.- WM. a a a - " 11 aciuany iooks cruel lor : a man to drive a horse around town for several hours for mere plea sure. A machine can carry him faster and . better without getting urea, nut to return to the horse. In 1900 there were 9402 horses in Marion county and; 6119 in Polk. The horse business reach ed its apex in 1910. when there were 11,288 in Marion county and 6344 in Polk. However, the decline has not been sufficient to cause any alarm. In 1920 there were 10,073 horses in Marion and 6027 in Polk, and the number has grown slightly in both of these Willamette valley counties since then, as it has in all the other counties of this potentially richest valley of the world. MM BOUSES YET I i - I it : : 11 AN OUTSTANDING LIVESTOCK CENTER Three things, primarily, have made Sa lem an outstanding livestock center. First, the operations of the packing house here. f Second, the great growth of the dairy ing industry. Third, the fact that the whole world has come to recognize this as the best cow country in all the lands bordering on the seven seas. . .:4r :-.Vv!-'-:- - Then we have a splendid' type of breed ers.

So there will be rapid and continuous development, as there should be. CASCADE BRAND HAMS, THE GEhERAL RULE KILL SICK FOWLS This Principle Is Hard on the Fowls But It Is Eco nomically Sound The average egg farmer usually has . symptoms of heart failure when he finds evidence of disease In his j flocks; instinctively he knows that to monkey long with sick hens is neither alluring nor profitable, and that if remedial measures are practical they should be applied in mass rather than Individually. In a late bulletin on diseases! of poultry the agricul tural experiment station of Con necticut admits that there is a general Agreement among authori ties that the doctoring of poultry is not to be recommended except in case of a few diseases such as chicken! pox, colds and cases of intestinal worms. There are two good reasons for tbis: First, the unit of production of the individ ual bird is so. small on the com mercial plant that if a man's time is worth anything Jt is too valua ble to spend treating sick chickens individually unless they show spec imens of great value. Second, the- cured chicken is always . a menace! to the health of the flock because; its identify is likely to be overlooked or forgotten and it goes into the' breeding pen and may perpetuate,, through the off spring. j that constitutional weak ness that was one of the primary causes of its being ill. The opin ion of practically all poultrymen who rear numbers of fowls Is that in a large proportion of cases of diseases the birds ought to be killed, j The only treatment rec ommended for the poultryman is to give; treatment when it can be applied " to a flock conveniently and with reasonable expectation of beneficial results. Treat Individ uals only when the treatment is simple land easy, and when it need be administered but a few times T T It Will Savje $350,000 or : More This Year for the Pockets of Growers Copper carbonate dust for wheat ; smut control, introduced into Oregon by - the experiment station: and carried to the farm by specialists and county agents of the; extension service, is past the experimental, stage and fast coming into general use.' Wheat tor 300,000 acres was dusted last year, and enough for a half mil lion acres will be for next year's crop, thinks E. It. Jackman. ex tension specialist about half the total Oregon wheat acreage. A saving of one-fourth of the seed is one big .advantage of the dust treatment. This will save about 350,000 bushels annually $350,000 or more this year In the growers' pockets, . The seed ger minates more quickly and surely and the plants are more vigorous from the start. Low cost of treat ment, keeping power of treated grain and effective smut control are other big advantages. Failure of growers to allow for COPPER CARBONATE OUST FOB THE SWIII BACON AND LARD SALEM, OREGON the added thickness of stand by reducing amount of seed sown caused too thick stands in some fields, a fault particuarly notice able this year because of unusual drouth. The -better germination of the dust method justifies re ducing the common rates of seed ing from 60 to 75 pounds per acre to 45 to 55 pounds. Control of smut has been shown by field and nursery tests to be about the same with the dust rightly applied as with the liquid bluestone treatment. Every grain must he dusted, which is best ac complished by running the ma chine at "the prescribed speed ac cording to directions. "1 When run too fast the machine' holds the grain: against the drum Instead of tumbling it over the baffle boards, to get its share of dust. ; iTwo ounces of fine, good qual ity copper carbonate dust to each bash&l - of dean grain ' or, three ouncea for badly smutted grain are recommended by the station. The' wheat Is -recleaned and smuf balls removed before treatment. Car is taken not to breathe the dust! either in treating or sowing the 'grain. - r Good Advice From One of the Big Farm Papers of the United States the following paragraph from thej Northwestern Dairyman and Farmer is worthy of the 'attention of .very farmer in the Salem dis trict: ,;f; "- ; k..- ; . "From al directions come re ports that farming is looking up. Wheat is advancing in price; hogs are higher ; than they have been for two years; fruit bids fair to pay its growers well; and dairy ing; always dependable, promises to keep up the regular monthly pay checks, so we can look for better times ahead for the tillers of the soil Now what does this all (mean? Simply this, that the farmer of the northwest is going to have money to buy many of the necessaries that he has been com pelled -to go without for some time past. In planning your pur chase, Mr. Farmer, keep in mind the products of the northwest. In other words, spend your money at home for. the products pf your own neighborhood.
