The OA.C men left Cor vallis Friday night, after the game with the Chicago Meteors iu which the loal men won , by a score of 27 to 20, and drove to Albanv, catching the mid-night train to Ashland. Because of the long trip, following the struggle here, it was feared by some that the OAC boys might be in a poor condition for the Ashland game; but judging from the score, there was no grounds for worry on that line. A young man coming from Cor vallis with the OAC delegation last evening slipped four of the college banners in the store of G. M. Turner under his coat while mak ing a purchase in "the store. Mr. Turner was apprised of the fact, the young man was pointed out to him by an OAC student and the banners were recovered.

Maynard, in the Home stead gives the following plan which he has adopted for dehorn-: ing calves it seem an excellent one: In reply to Mr. Richardson's request I might say I have tried two ways; I call them the old and the new. My old way was to first feel the calfs head (for some calves' horns come sooner than others) and as soon as you can feel the nub take your knife and make the slightest cut one drop of blood is enough then take a piecejot concentrat ed lye the size of a pea, place jit in the little cut and the work is done But that does not al ter the disposition. . The new way is: " Get a Red Prlld sire and breed the horns off then you have the quiet, kinr", good natured disposition. I have, never ' had ?a halfbreed heifer with horns of any kind. I find the Red Polls a . very" satisfactory kind of cattle in every way. A little child can handle the balls drive, them, or ride them. This is the third bull I. have kept and I never saw one of them offer to hurt anything but cattle. ' " -" : v';:; -' Additional Local. CarpetB at cost at Cady. Hollenberg & 18tf Attorney W E.
