SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1303.
THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT.
The first commencement of the
Wallowa county high school is aj
epjch in the progress of education
in thii county. First, the straggling
and struggling private or temporary
s.ho:ls of pioneer days; then the
r zhar. organized district schools in
country and tswn; then the adding of
a few advanced stndie3 dignined u
the name, "high school grades,"
finally culminating in the splendid
hl,h schoj', second to none
la the state, eiual to the famous old
New England academies, and wher3
e ery graduate of a district school
in all Wal'.owa may receive an edu
cation suf Helen t, in 99 vocations out
of 100, for an practical purposes.
The class of 1909, three bright
yoaths Just entering into young man
hood, are a credit to the school, their
instructors and the county, but no
ma ter how distinguished their future
.jreer they will always have occasion
to feel proud they were members of
the first graduating clais of the Wal
lowa co miy high school.
Why? liecause the school will grow
from year to jeir into greater ef
ficiency and usefulness, and the day
wiil come when Its students will be
numbered by tbe thousands, and its
courses of study will not o:ily train
the minds but the hands and bodies
of all the youth of this great county
empire.
There is a glo loas future In store
for the county high school.
OPFORTUNE TIME FOR BUILDING
MAIN SEWER.
It has been suggested that this
s miner would be an opportune time
to construct a main sewer from the
hih school down main street, past
' lie s-.-hool, court house, Hotel
;rrrle and principal business
no isei, turning on We3t First street
to Greenwood, pan the Commercial
i ''el and on to the outlet. Tho
court house mut have a sewer con
nection, the s h )ols and hotels nee
It badly. Un'e-s some mutual a
rangement h made between the clt.
ami county board the latter will be
compelled to bear the entire expens
of a sower for the court house.
It ii also an opportune time becaus
a contract coald be made with th
American Light & Power compan;
to dig the trench with the stean
ditcher after the completion of th
water works at a cost much less than
If the machinery and men were no
already here oa the ground.
The expense could and should b.
equitably distributed among three
parties: The city, the county boarr'
and the private property owner
directly benefitted. Just what pro
portion or share- each should p
own to be easily adjustel and nt
doubt would be. The main thing U
iier and the details wit
work oat .8 a remit of the confer
ee ea.
i the city Is not able to pay In
Its share this year, it ought no
be a difficult mntter to negotiate its
variants for the amount necessary.

; XIV. Some Points on Stock Feeding
J By C. V. GREGORY,
t Agricultural TH-Oision. Iotoa State College
Copyright. 1808. by American Press Association
SK order that the feeds fed to stock
may be used to tbe best possible
advantage It Is necessary that
they should be of the proper
kinds and fed In the proper amounts.
One of tbe Important things to take
Into account In determining tbe value
of a feeding stuff Is its digestibility.
Some feeds, such as oat straw, are not
more than SO per cent digestible, while
In tbe case of the corn grain over 90
per cent Is used by the animal. Feeds
with a high percentage of digestibility,
tike the grains, are called concentrates,
while those with a large amount of In
digestible crude fiber are called rough
feeds.
Every anlraaTmust have a certain
amount of roughage; otherwise the
grain would He In tbe stomach In a
heavy, sodden mass, which could hard
ly be penetrated by the digestive
Juices, and Indigestion would be sure
to result. The crude fiber, while in
digestible in Jtself, dilutes the more
concentrated feeds and greatly hastens
the process of digestion. The rumi
nants are able to obtain a large share
of their feed from roughage. Horses
use considerable, though owing to
their smaller stomach they cannot use
as Urge quantities as cattle do. Swine
are usually regarded as rgaln eating
animals, yet they, too, do better for
having some roughage. Mature hogs
will maintain themselves on a good
rape or clover pasture without any
grain at all, and fattening swine will
make greater gain If fed on pasture.
riO. XIVII THERE IS KO FOOD BETTKU
THAN MlUt FOB YOUHU ANU1AXS.
In winter, when pasture Is not availa
ble, bogs will eat considerable amounts-
of clover or alfalfa hay If they can
get It and will be healthier and make
better gains for having It
Another Important quality In a feed
stuff Is Its palatablllty. Stock will
make greater gains on feeds that they
like, even though they contain no
more nutritive material than those
that are not so palatable. Closely re
lated to palatablllty Is succulence or
juclneas. Cows give a large flow of
milk on pasture not so much because
of Its high feeding value, but because
of Its succuleuct aud palatablllty.
Stock of any kind will not make the
best use of their feed If given noth
ing but dry bny and grain.
Tho most satisfactory means of pro
viding succulent and palatable feed
during tbe winter Is by tbe use of the
silo. Silage has a high feeding value
and Is cheap, since from eight to
twelve tons can be raised on an acre.
It finds Its greatest use as a feed for
dairy cows, but also makes a profita
ble' addition to Rie ration of nearly
all classes of stock.
The most Important point to consid
er In preparing a ration Is the rela
tive proportion of tbe different con
stituents. Fats and carbohydrates
are Interchangeable and can be con
sidered together, since they both jo
to furnish heat and energy or to I ullil
np animal fat. Neither of these sub
stances, however, can take tbe place
of protein, since neither of tbem con
tains nitrogen. To build up the mus
cles, organs and other parts of the
body which require this element con
siderable protein must be fed. The
ordinary feeds found on the farm
contain too little protein In proportion
to the other substances. To secure
the best results a balanced ration
that Is, one In which tbe amount of
protein Is In the proier proportion to
the amounts of fats and carbohy
dratesmust be fed.
It can readily be seen that what Is a
balanced ration for one class of stock
may not be for another. Toong calves,
colts and pigs require more protein
and ash In their food than do mature
animals. A work horse needs large
amounts of fat and carbohydrate to
supply him with energy, but he also
needs considerable protein to repair
his muscles, which wear out very
rapidly. A fattening steer needs only
a minimum amount of protein, since
he la neither growing nor using his
muscles. A milk cow needs a great
deal of protein and ash to use In mak
ing milk, together with a liberal
amount of the other constituents, to
supply energy and to make Into but
ter rat A pregnant animal is in espe
cial need of protein and ash to use in
building up tbe bones and flesh ot Its
offspring. All animals need larger
quautitlea ot the heat forming ele
ments In tbe winter In order to keep
the body warm.
Another Important point, one that
must not be lost Right of in preparing
rations for any class of stock, la the
coat. It makes no difference how di
gestible, palatable or well balanced a
tt
ration may be nor how rapid gains It
will produce, If those gains are put on
at too great an expense the feeding
operations win result hi a loss. For the
last two years, for Instance, bran and
shorts have been so high In price that
It is doubtful If they could be fed at
a profit. Eran produces a large milk
flow when fed to cows, but silajre and
clover hay are Just as good and cost
only a fraction as much.
The question of how much a farmer
can- afford to spend for concentrated
byproduct Is always a perplexing
one. Something Is needed to balance
tbe corn, which Is the principal feed
on most farms, if nothing else Is fed
with corn It will not be thoroughly
digested and much of tbe nutriment
which It contains will be wasted.
When com is cheap this does not mat
ter so much, but when the price goes
up to 50 or CO cents a bushel It be
comes an important consideration.
This applies not only to corn, but to
other grains as well, since all contalu
an excess of carbohydrate and fat.
Oata come the nearest to 1 $ g a bal
anced ration of any farm prain. but
tbey ore usually too expensive to be
fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn
does not make a balanced ration, since
the oats have scarcely enough protein
to balance their own cnrSohydrates
and fats. Another factor 41 icii must
be taken into consideration Is the
health of the animals. This will surely
suffer If they are compelled to live
'long on a single kind of feed, especial
ly one that Is as low In protein as corn
is.
When grain Is high In price the sor
ing effected by the purchase of socio
supplementary feed rich in protein
will usually much more than pay the
cost In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain tbe chief consideration
should be the amount of digestible
protein which it contains. Ash la also
Important especially If it Is to be fed
with corn, which Is low in ash. By
dividing the price per ton of a feed by
the number cf pounds of digestible
protein In a ton the price per pound
of protein Is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost of protein In the
different byproducts can be figured
out nnd the one nsed which will fur
njsh It In tbe cheapest form. .
For hogs there Is probably no better
or cheaper source of protein than tank
age or meat meal. A ration of one
part of this to ten parts of corn Is an
Ideal one for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs the amount of tankage
should be doubled and some sklmmllk
added If It can be obtained. Milk Is
an almost perfect food for all young
stock, and tbe farmer who has a large
supply of It has a big part of his feed
ing problem solved.
Another feed that is invaluable for
your.g pigs and calves Is dried blood
or blood flour. Nothing else will stop
scours so quickly nor do so much to
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. . A heaping teaspoonful to a
feed Is enough for a young calf, with
proportionate amounts for the pigs.
The reason that these packing house
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals Is because of the large
amount of ash which they contain.
The use of such feeds Insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals.
OSnVl IBISES!
fio. xivrrt cxovkb'pastcwi is an ex-
CBIOJtMX FOOD FOH bUEKP.
A lack of ash Is the chief fault that
can be found with the corn byprod
ucts, such as germ oil meal and gluten
feed. For this reason these feeds are
not so valuable for milk cows and
young stock, although tbey are all
right for fattening animals. Oil and
cottonseed meals contain more ash
than the corn products,, but not so
much as tankage. They are usually
a cheap source of protein. Oilmeal Is
especially valuable for keeping the
system In tone, the bowels loose and
the coat sleek and glossy. Cottonseed
meal should never be fed to hogs, as
they often die from eating It
There Is nothing better than clover
pasture to balance tbe ration of fat
tening swine. Clover pasture, with
perhaps a small allowance of grain, is
an Ideal feed for milk cows, calves
and colts. The little pigs will learn to
eat It also, but will need considerable
grain aM sklmmllk In addition If
they are to make rapid gains. Clover
hay and corn Is a ration for fattening
cattle and sheep that cannot be beat
en. Clover hay and silage with a lit
tle corn and oilmeal added, is a first
class winter feed for dairy cattle.
Even for hordes clover hay. If not
dUBty, la the best of roughage. Ita
liberal use for all classes of stock
will reduce the cost of feeding and
add to the profits. So It Is evident that
the wise farmer will not neglect to
provide clover pasture that Is ample.
Chamberlain's " Liniment
This Is a new preparation and a
good one. It Is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu
matism, and for the relief from pain
which It affords In acute Inflamma
tory rheumatism. Those who have
used It have Invariably spoken of It
In the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the mus
cles, usually brought on by exposure
o cold or damp, and 'are quickly
cured by applying this liniment freely
and massaging the affected parts.
Soreness of the muscles, whether
i iuucei by violent exercise or Injury,
is allayed by'this liniment. For al
