Nebraska State PLUMIR WRITES OF DEMONSTRATION AT WINONA RANCH SEEING CRATER LAKE Those who have seen the attempts without of .the artist to depict that- scenic 'journal, wonder, Crater lake, upon can van, I and who have then looked upon Crater lake itself, are sure thereafter that Nature is Indeed the greatest artist , of them all.' No brush can catch the grandeur of the scene. Oils and water colors fall, though spread by the band of skill, to tell the won'derous story ot the shifting color ings within that great bowl filled with its limpid flood. The picture falls to tell Its story of the magnificent distances snd depths, of changing It lacks the life that County Agriculturists Thompson of Josephine and Cate of Jackson coun ties arranged tor a farm demonstra tion meeting, to be held at Steel's Winona Berkshtre ranch. Saturday, August 5,' for the purpose of giving Mr. Steel an opportunity to demon strate to the tamers of the surround ing country the value ot good breed ing, as exemplified by his world-renowned Winona Berkshlres. This was the original intention of the meeting, but it straightway de veloped Into a gathering In honor of Great, Grandmother Steel eighty- two years young who was the center of attraction, as the hostess of the day, ably assisted by her two grand children, Francis R and Carol, his sister. A roast pig had been provided for the occasion (Agriculturist Thomp son claimed it was a Duroc Jersey.) and the way the 125 people present dispatched his plgshlp was no reflec tion on his sire. Beside the pig, there were an even dozen pf roast dneks, and they, too, followed In the path ot the pig. ' ; After luncheon, which wss served In a delightful little oak grove on the place, interstlng speeches were made by Agriculturists Thompson and Cate while O. M. Plummer, ot the Union Stocks Tarda, gave, a very Informal, talk along ike; lines of live stock human and 'otherwise: Francis Steel was toast master and1 he harried the speaker along so that he might have an opportunity to tell the assembled farmers something about his Berkshlres, Two years ago 8teel paid $750 for the Berkshire . boar, "Laurel Cham plon," making this bid on him before he had been judged, at one of the Washington fairs. His success with this boar Is ample proof of the asser tion that one good sire will make the reputation of any breeder. Mr. Steel has sold over $6000 worth of pigs of this breeding since the first of the year, orders coming from all parts of the United States. The people who were present surely enjoyed a treat, as Steel went from pasture to posture, going over the dif ferent boars and sows snd young pigs very thoroughly pointing out their good points, as well as weak, if there should have happened to be any, and explaining what constituted good con formation. The writer has attended many fairs anil aion mitfh IllHirftllP hll-t At fin flma II S MSFS $100000.000!did he ever know of an animal being whkb'ieemcd almost beyond the be lief ot his visitors. I However,' Mr. Steal lias tvata ou his place and made a careful test, weighing the hay three days after cutting, and whon ready to go. into the barn. ' In conueutlou with Agriculturist Thompson, ot Josephine County, Mr. Steel will mako an exhaustive report of this clover experiment at tho close of the season. This Idea of County Agricultural demousirutlng on private (anus is surely a winner, and is far more boncfldnl thsn the meetings held lu town, nt which only unlllustrated lectures are given. Every County Agriculturist In this Wextern country should nuiko It a point to Investl gute pure bred herd and the farms where up-to-date methods are In use, and should ask their owners to co operate with them in these private farm demonstrations. This Western country Is full of fine breeding stocK. but In many cases, Its reputation does not extend out of the town: Francis Steel's success Is a well deserved one. He was graduated from the Animal Husbandry Department of the- University of California and afterwards took a year's post-grad uate work along the eiftne line at Harvard. He bad very little practi cal experience, but In three years, hss bsd sufficient experience, when mixed with his theory, to make him famous in the United Statea among the 'Berkshire fraternity. The psrt Ing wish of the visitors was that Great Grandmother Steel might attain unto the fifth generation. Portlsnd Live Stock Reporter.

This Is the theory that waste makes prosperity'' This theory hss hsd Its commonest tional law experts say she would be within ber rights in actually with holding the calbegrams. In that case the United States, ac cording to one lawyer, would have no recourse aside from the drastic step of declaring England's action "un friendly." Other state" department experts, however, hold that the matter will be one for the strictest sort of pro test, If it could be proved. And, there is no mistaking the temper of ' at least a part of the department on the subject. Tbe expert who believes there Is no ground for protest, says that Eng land Is within ber rights In control ling cable matters in her own Juris diction, and that this jurisdiction in cludes the territory of her ally, Rus sia. In other cues,- where the United 8tates has protested, British Interference was charged as between the United Statea and countries other than England's allies. covered In the thorough way In which Steel demonstrated his pigs. If we can get our fair Judges to do likewise, It will be a great step In advance. After the couple 0 hours spent In going over the hogs, the party was taken to a 'field of red clover, on which Steel Is running a test, under the direction of County Agriculturist Thompson.1 He 'has taken an average section of his ground snd plotted it off Into about eight sections four' check and four test plots. Steel's place Is under irrigation, snd his av erage crop, this year, without fer tillzer, will be about four tons for Hie three cuttings. His best test plot was that on which the Union Meat Com pany's fertiliser "Beaver-A" brsnd had been used, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. This fertilizer costs $45 per ton, but even at that price; It showed a net profit ' of $11C0 an acre above the next best plot on which other fertilizer wss used.
