Follow ing are reasons for its continuance in the schools: Housewives often wonder how they can cut down the prices in their meat bill. This can be solved by knowledge of the different cuts of meat and their uses. gSome cuts are tough, but If they are cooked prop erly they become tender as the high er priced and originally tender cuts of meat. The saving housewife cn buy these cheaper cuts and cook them properly, getting the same re sults, saving one-half on their meat bill. Many times when the housekeeper Is shopping and doesn't know the difference between cuts of meat, they buy a poor, tough cut at a very high price. If she didn't cook it properly she would wonder why it had a different flavor and wasn't as tender.

GOOD FUTURE oiti.ook FOR NORTHWEST DAIRYING In a statement recently issued by a representative of the Washington Extension Department, figures given show that the average hay price for the last seven years from December to July have averaged about $25.50 per ton. Prices being asked for hay this season are much below this fig ure. It may be of some interest to note that prices quoted at terminal mar kets this season for lui In (lie North west are lower than unv other sim ilar markets anywhere in the Unit ed States, as shown by "Price Cur rent Grain Iteportre" for December' llth, Germany. A careful study of the above figures will assure the most conservative that the dairy industry has a real future for the whole Unit ed States. Conservative business men predict an increase of 50 per cent In the population of Oregon and Washing ton In the next thirty years. If dairying has a future in the United States, it certainly has a wonderful opportunity In the Northwest. Minneapolis.

ICE "I'll bet the ice is fine," said Bob, While putting on one skate. "I fear it is too thin," said Mac "And will not hold my weight." Soon Bob was skating gracefully, Artistically and neat. He cut his name as he swung around And easily jumped six feet. He spun in circles, danced a jig, And went through many a trick. He whirled around upon his heel, And twirled his hockey stick. "Hurrah! the ice is strong and slick. It holds me up," he said. But just then Mac's feet felt the ice And crash -he bumped his head. Said Mac, while rubbing injured parts, "It may hold you up pard. But as for me it certainly Pulls downward mighty hard." -GENERAL- BLACKSMITHING AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING FirstjClas.s Work Guaranteed Shop open W flneadays, Thurs days and Fridays Each Week Other Days by Special Arrange ments on Larger Jobs PATRONAGE SOLICITED W. B. HOWARD BLACKSMITH UUUGON - - OREGON t Error in Dairy Ration In the O. A. C. dairy ration story last week a typographical error gave the amount of feed to each cow per day as one pound for each 1 pounds of milk produced, when it should have been one pound of feed for each 3 V2 to 4 poands of milk. The grain ration is made up of 300 pounds each of barley, oats and mill run, and 100 pounds of a high pro tein concentrate such as linseed oil meal, cottonseed meal or cocoanut meal. All the legume hay and silage the animal will eat is allowed, and if kale is available it may be added with excellent results. In the study of the effects of hot water sterilisation on teat-cup rub bers of milking machines, the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture found that the life of these rubbers when regularly sterilized by this method varied from 6 to 17 weeks. It was also found that hot water gave better results in reducing the number of bacteria than did the use of either chlorin solution or salt and chlorin solution. The Bureau of Standards, cooperating with the United States Department of Agri-N culture, found that it is very impor tant that these teat-cup rubbers be made of so-called pure gum com pound, and that they should be thor oughly cleaned before sterilization, as a lit'le butter fat remaining on them has a destructive effect in con ned ion with the heat.
