EXPERIM ENT ST A TIO N COLLEGE 1’Kl'K CATTLE i M m ; TOI* NOTCH PRICES Oregon A gricultural College, Cor vallis, Oct. 11.— Kansas City m a r et reports m ention the unusually fine quality of three car-loads of Short horn steers, finished for m arket on the Oregon A gricultural branch sta tion farm a t Union, m arketed this fall. ‘‘The three carloads of »tea; s received in the local m arkets aver aged 1*197 pounds and sold a t a lump rate of $8.80. Considering the length of tim e they w ere on the road and the distance traveled they were in re m arkable fine c o n d i t i o n . Robert W ithycombe was in charge of the shipm ent which num bered sixty ani mals. For 115 days one carload was fed on alfalfa hay straig h t through, th • second carload on alfalfa and five pounds a day to the head of rolled barley, and the third alfalfa the first half of the feeding period and an ad dition of 10 pounds of rolled barley a day to the head the last half. The second lot showed the best gain in w eight, slightly more than two pounds a day. while the others gained ju st two pounds a day. gon, and th at it got its s ta rt from Judge Logan, of Santa Cruz, Cali fornia, and th at not any fu rther im portations w ere made, so fa r as the records show. The company ceased to handle the phenomenal berry about six years ago and sell it now only when specifically asked for. It con siders the phenomenal as being a seedling of the loganberry. The A spinw all brothers, of Brooks, say th at th eir stock of loganberries came from Judge Logan through Dr. Richardson, a personal friend of Lo gan, and lion. A. M. L aFollette. The Aspinwall firm has never handled the phenomenal a t all, but has reports th a t it produces only about a third as much as the loganberry. The sim ilarity of the loganberries of known stock to the loganberries grown throughout the state is suf ficient to establish the identity of the la tte r as loganberries. Hence the lo- ganberry is such indeed, and it would be a g reat m istake, says P rofessor Lewis, to change its nam e to phenom enal or to anything else. An effective advertising cam paign has made the fam e of the loganberry juice known throughout a large n art of the United States, and a change of nam e would not only be an erro r but poor policy as well.

WHY NOT FOR WOMEN? The needlessness of worn out prim i tive m ethods of doing woman s work will be fully exemplified in the ex hibit of the A gricultural College home economics departm ent at the S tate F air.

One of these devices is the wheel tray fo r moving kitchen utensils and food m aterials from cue p a rt of the room to another. The advantages of proper arrangem ent will be illustrated by charts and d raw ings. Equipm ent for shifting the m ost slavish labor of the laundry room from the woman to the m achine will also be shown. m ent.
