Malcolm II. OardutM' says of Hol-tein-fr;es!iins:
While ia character the
Holstein-Friesiaus are essentially a
dairy breed and are so regarded in
America, jet as an all round dairy
breed the matter of !;eef and veal must
Hot be lost sight of. ami in Holland
these are very important points. There
few cattle are allowed to pass their
seventh year, but before they pass out
of their prime they are fattened and
Bold as .beef. Owners and breeders of
Holstein-Friesian cattle base their
claims for the superiority of this breed
over all other dairy breeds mainly on
the following points: First, that the
Holstein-Friesian is a large, strong,
vigorous cow, full of energy and
abounding in vitality; second, that her
physical organization and digestive ca
pacity are such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the roughage of
the farm, converting the same into
merchantable products; third, that she
yields large quantities of most excel
lent milk fit for any and all uses and
especially well fitted for shipping pur
poses; fourth, that heredity is so firm
ly established through her long lineage
that she is able to perpetuate herselt
through the production of strong,
healthy calves, and. fifth, that when
for any reason her usefulness In the
daily is at an end she fattens readily
and makes excellent beef.

lustration gives one some idea of the
amount of milk these animals are capa
ble of giving. This cow, seven years
old, has never been tested since she
was four years old, when she made 19
pounds C 5-10 ounces butter In seven
days. She has a capacity now of nine
ty pounds milk and twenty-seven
pounds butter.
Test the Herd.
Every day brings tidings of the de
struction of valuable herds of cows be
cause of tuberculosis. Why all this de
struction? Simply because the men
who owned the cattle did not inform
themselves thoroughly concerning the
disease. Why should farmers nurse
and coddle this disease, keep it and
hide it and refuse to know the truth,
flattering themselves in a weak way
that their 'Vows are all right?'' It Is
not an expensive matter to test a herd.
If the disease is there, shouldn't the
farmer know it as soon as possible? If
It presents a clean bill of health
shouldn't he be vigilant to keep it so?
It is a simple matter. Start clean,
and then keep clean, says Hoard's Dai
ryman. Test regularly every year.
Never take in an animal that has not
been tested. T'se disinfectants, such
ns whitewash and carbolic acid, freely.
Tut the King system of ventilation In
the stable. Spend a little money to be
safe rather thau lose a lot of it in
slaughtered cattle. These are all com
mon sense precautions, just plain com
mon sense. Some people ask us if we
think the country will ever be cleared
of tuberculosis. Frobably not. But it
Is no great thing for any farmer to
keep hi farm clear of it, and that will
nave hiin a good deal and the country
a little.
Raising Holstein Cattle.
The Dutch system of feeding and
rearing Holstein-Friesian cattle is sim
plicity Itself. The calves are given
whole milk until about five weeks old,
when the ration is gradually changed
to skim milk and grain. The grain
Is cooked or steamed and fed with the
milk at first and later is fed dry Imme
diately before the milk is given. When
grass Is available It forms the entire
ration for heifers, and during winter
the rations are only sufficient to keep
them growing. Bulls are fed In the
same manner until they are a year old,
after which they are closely confined,
but regular exercise Is given dally.
Bulls used for- breeding are kept In
tables or paddocks and are well fed,
but not allowed to become fat Boots
In winter and green forage In summer
are largely used. Professor W. A.
Kennedy, Iowa Agricultural College.
Selecting the Sire.
In selecting the sire the record of his
mother, his sire's mother and of all his
near ancestry should be looked Into,
and unless all these have been large
producers and of the desirable dairy
type we cannot expect their offspring
to produce Individuals that will be
economical producers. It Is much safer
to select an old sire that has been tried
and produced offspring that are known
to be large producers than tQ select a
young sire whose ability to traaMi
characteristics Is unknown.

don't it? She's been sort of ailin'

Melancholy, lost flesh, didn't sleep,
couldn't savor her food anyways,
doctor ordered her to rest up, cheer
up and feed up. Made her eat her
meals whether or no and in between
whiles swaller an egg down whole
as often as she could stomick it.
She made an awful fuss about that
efjg, learnin' how to get it down
"thout breakin', but she did learn.
- "Well, she put a few eggs outside
licr winder yestiddy to be handy
upstairs if she wanted one. Then
she got up after her nap pretty
sleepy, opened one and popped it
in her mouth same's usual. 'Stid

eyes were bulgin' and she was grow

"She roused up the family, and
they made her drink down enough
hot water to melt a dozen eggs if
not b'iie 'em. She's kind o' weak
today I guess it was a near thing,
honest but she's so mad at folks
for laughin' she's lost her melan
choly and developed a good, healthy
temper and an appetite to match
for anything but eggs."
"If Myra Fressey ever looked
what she was about," commented
Mrs. Stillings tartly, "she wouldn't
have such ridiculous accidents Fro

she'll manage to burn herself with

The Youngster's Way.
A child will begin at noon to nag
its mother for permission to go to
an entertainment at night, and
when permission is finally granted
it begins to nag about the time to
start. If the entertainment is to
begin at 7:30 the child is ready on
the front porch at 5. Then when it
reaches the place where the enter
tainment is given it squirms around
restlessly for about fifteen minutes,
then drops its head against the back
of the seat, falls asleep and sleeps
till it is over. And when its moth
er shakes it to wake it up she al
ways says, with fine indignation:
"There! Didn't I tell you you
would go to sleep? You'll stay at
home next time. Atchison Globe.
A Latter Day Knight of Color.
A sister of the Bonsecour order
was walking along a quiet street.
Midway of the block there came to
ward her a small colored boy be
tween two others even smaller than
himself. As he took in the somber
garb he must have realized in some
way the character of the sisterhood,
for he grabbed off the hats of his
charges, bared his own head and
said:
"Good ebenin', Charity."
And he couldn't have done it with
finer courtesy if he had been a mem
ber of that irreproachable circle
that used to sit at the round table
we all know about. Washington

The Horse Returned.
An extraordinary instance of the
affection of a horse for its old home
is reported from Turvey, Bedford
shire, England. A farmer of that
place sold a horse he had had for
several years to a farmer from Han-
slope. , The horse was taken to Han
slope and was placed in a field for
the night, but after darkness had
set in he broke bis bounds and
made the cross country journey of a
dozen miles from Hanalope to Tur
vey, where hia former sowner found
him the next morning quietly grac
ing in bis paddock.

EASY WAY TO ADVERTISE STATE
And Tell Our Eastern Friends All
About the Superior Opportunities
We Possess.
On April 1:9th last the Oregonian pub'
lislied a special industrial edition devot
ed -x;lusiveiy to tne exploitation ol
OiVgoa. It probably contained more
special and miscellaneous information
about Oregon than, any one publication
that has ever been issued. It is peculiar
ly useful and valuable to the home
seeker, because it gives the latest and
most reliable information about so many ,
different subjects that the hemeseeker ia
naturally interested in. Almost every
department of industry is specialized,
and both descriptive and statistical in
formation of a highly valuable character
is given extensively and in entertaining
form.
Residents of Oregon who know its ad.
vantages as com pared w ith the congest
ed and depleted East, and who still have
friends back there whom they wonld line,
to see here enjoying the good things of
this favored state, can aid in a splendid
work now without cost and very little
effort. If you think your friend would
be interested in knowing more about
Oregon and might eventually become a
valuable citizen, sen 1 his name and ad
dress to the general passenger agent of
theOragon Railway & Navigation Com
pany Southern Pac Be at Portland, and a
copy of this special edition, with a com
plete summary of tae several subjects
treated carefully indexed, will be mailed
to him promptly. In this manner you
will be the means not only of doing your
friend a good turn, but helping to stimu.
lata the growth and prosperity of Ore
gon. Don't forget that commencing Septem.
ber 1st and continuing daily for two
months, tickets will be on sale at almost
every railroad station in the East to all
points in Oregon and the Northwest at
what has come to be popularly known as
"colonist rates." These rates are the
cheapest general long distance rates ever
established, and enable one to reach
Oregon from any part of the United
States at but a trifle more than one cent
a mile. They are the greatest incentive
to colonization and progressive boms
building of any known agency, and if the
restless, dissatisfied resident of the East
is made to know before-hand the advant
ages he can enjoy here, the problem ia
solved, and the Btar sf empire will con
tinue to move steadily westward.
Now is the time to Bpread the gospel of
Oregon, so that it may be beard ana
heeded by the time the rates go into'
effect. Send one name or two, or a
dozen, and you will be exerting worthy
influence toward the upbuilding of our
state. Send them to your nearest South

He "Salted Her Plenty"
The story is going the rounds
of a certain Corvallis drayman
who had an exciting experience
last week with the family milch
cow. It appears that this good
man had a quantity of arsenate
of lead cashed away in the wood
shed for safe keeping, and un
known to him his wife opened
the package, discovered what she
thought to be the salt, placed it
in a convenient spot and in
structed her husband, on the fol
lowing evening, to "salt the cow
and give her plenty as she is fail
ing in her milk." The pack
age of salt (?) had been placed
beside the leed and the generous
drayman "salted her plenty."
The next morning the cow,
who had eaten the first dose, re
fused ber feed and seemed ill. A
call was put in for a local "cow
doctor" who came, viewed the
animal and prescribed a .heavy
dose of epsom salts. The medi
cine was given but the cow grew
worse and a; second, "doctor"
came and a big dose of , oil wai
forced down the poor brute's
throat. ; i
