In all probability the farmers' market win be situated on the east side of the building, where the large doors can be opened. This will give the farmer a ehaace to drive his car or truck up in the alter and unload his produce into the rear of his stall. There will be plentr of room in the alley back of the building for the parking of autos and cars, and there is no parking limit. Many reservations have already been made for space, and the building of the stalls will start in the near future. Some of the far mers have already announced that they hare .early produce ready for market by th middle of next month. The dairy bull should be fed enough to keen him in rigorous physical condition, but not too fat. Some breeders feed their re gular herd mixture. Ground oats are considered particularly desir able as feed for balls. Two tes ted mixtures are: ground corn, 300 pounds ground oats, tOO pounds; wheat bran, 200 pounds, and linseerfnealj 100 pound: or. ground oats, 30 pounds; wheat bran. 200 pounds: ground corn or barley, 100 pounds; linseed meal, 100 pounds. Veterinarians admit that ft is impossible to ten certainly by a physical examination whether e fowl has tuberculosis. The tu berculin test is necessary. On a farm where both poultry and bogs are "raised, it is wise to make sure as to any chicken suspected of be ing even slightly tubercular. Av ian tuberculosis of fowls is read ily transmitted to swine. THERE' IS SUBSTITUTE The Science and Philosophy of Chiropractic! bears no real resemblance to the Science and Philosophy of Medicine, nr. in deed, any other known Health system. Its practice is so spe cific in its application to one principle of cause and one form of adjusting it. as to convince a layman of its individuality Chiropractors assume that in consequence of displaced gg ments (small bones of the spine) the ,- openings between the vertebrae through which the spinal nerves pass are af fected; that in this way. the nerves are pinched; and that such pinching Is the cause of the majority of all disease. This condition is called subluxation of the vertebrae. To put these small bones back in position the Chiropractor uses nothing bat his bare hands. Directly the pinching has been thus relieved the Vital Force is permitted to again flow uninterruptedly and the result is Health, as the ef fect caused by the pinching dis appears because of the absence of the cause. It will pay you to learn more about this great science. See your Chiropractor at once. Remember the Neuro- calometer locates nerve pres sure1;. Chiropractic Adjustments remove nerve pressure Neur- oralometer readings by appoint ment only. i Dr. O. L. Scott, D.

This hatchery has now a capacity of 125,000 eggs, using two giant 3 ,000 Newton incubators and two dozen smaller machines. The incubators are housed in two large tile buildings measuring 12S by 4 0 feet each. A number of Oregon breeders and poultrymen are kept busy supplying hatching eggs exclusive ly for Russell's Poultry Yards. A considerable premium is paid for these eggs, for they must come up to certain standards as to weight, color, texture of shell and fertility. Records are kept of the fertil ity and hatches from each flock. The flock owners are advised con cerning the problems in feeding and management in order that the flocks may be kept at their best and the eggs produced of the highest quality. AH stock is pure bred and all strains are kept ab solutely pure. On account of the increasing de mand for the heavy breeds of chickens the Rnssels began hatch ing Reds and Rocks a few seasons Combined Harvester and Thresher The No. 8 harvester has proven to he the most satisfactory size on the average farm in the Willamette Valley.
