FACTS IN FEW LINES .,,1 •POPULAR FEED RACK. It Prevent» Waste of Corn En»llaice or Meal. Fodder The Illustration of a fodder rack here sbnwn I, one Invented by the editor of the Agriculturist and used by him for many years The rack Is such a good one that hundreds of farmers copied the Idea, and they came Into quite gen era I use on cattle farms. There la ab solutely no waste of feed In using this rack, and anything can be fed In it from corn fodder to ensilage and meal says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. The rack has a tight bottom. Into which all litter falls as cattle pull out »« xd ba < I. tbs hay or other balder from between the slate. It la twelve feet long and five fest wide. Three or four such racks In a yard will bold a load of lisy or corn fodder. It la the best rack in wiiicti to feed corn fodder we ever saw Cattle will pull out every leaf and busk, leaving the bare stalks in the bottom, which may be removed as de aired. The posts are 4 by 4. six feet long On top of tlie posts a 2 by 4 Is spiked, upon which the slats that bold the fod der rest. These slats are four Inches wide and placed far enough apart to admit the nose of a cow about alx luebes The bottom Is made of common alx inch boards. If meal Is fed In the rack matched flooring Is better for the bottom. A alx Inch board la nailed on around the outside of the bottom to Mid the toad. ...

After closing the deal he made the following remarks: “ I think it good business sense to invest in Gresham property when you can get it from FIRST HANDS, because the people out there do not seem to appreciate their l)eautiful surroundings, but the day is close at hand when they will wake up to lost opportunity, just as the people of St. Johns did. More, Thompson’s Addition has FINE DRAINAGE, which makes that property very valuable to held. Again, the Mt. Hood Electric Railway is sure to go through Gresham or very near there and for these reasons alone. Prop erty there is sure to advance quite rapidly.” There were other good reasons for his investment he spoke of, but at the present we think the above is quite sufficient. We have always told you something was to happen in Gresham and today we repeat it and again give you the tip to buy and buy now and in Thompson’s addition. For the next twenty-five lots sold the terms will be $2^.00 to $50.00 down (according to the price of the lot) and bal ance VERY EASY MONTHLY PAYMENTS. We want to tell you again that the lots in Thompson’s Addition at present prices are a very valuable investment, and if you purchase now you will have reason to feel vgry kindly toward us for the advice given.
