' Every tool on the farm, from the arden rake to the threshing ma ' line should be thoroughly cleaned nd oiled and put under shelter and , nt up In such a way as to prevent ny warping or twisting from an 1 ndue strain. Then as winter comes j n every piece of machinery should j e overhauled and any needed re ' airs made so that it will be ready .' vt use when needed next spring and ' nmrner.

To save meat e should tat more fish, Miltry and cheese. There la a surplus of cheee In Ore aim at ths prem time, and we should cant double the cheese thut we do. The consumer complains that the retail price of cheese Is to.) high and that he raniiol afford to eat It, The grocer explains this by saying that the people, do not eat enough cheee to enable him to sell It on h closer margin. He must buy In siiinll quantities, then cut a cheese and have It dry out on Ms mint I or before It la sold, the shrinkage eat ing up all his profits.

FORCED 10 ASK INCREASED RATE To Our Friends and Patrons: The Oregon Gas A Klectrlc com pany has a very lurxe Investment in OreKon, which for the pant sven years has not earued one cent of In terest on the money Invested or even paid operating expenses. The pres ent hUh prices for supplies, labor and , material are following the In ability of the compuny to earn bond Interest. The company hus In the past ued every possible method toward effi ciency and economy and has always endeavored to render first class ser vice. Tnder the existing roudltlons It Ik absolutely necessary to ask the pub lic service commission for a small Increase In rates. The company will cheerfully give the commission or Individuals the facts, showing con cluslvely that higher rates are un avoidable, owing to circumstance over which they have no control. The Increase asked for Is 15c per thousand cubic feet, which we hope will. In a measure, offset the rapidly ever-Increasing expense of the com pany. You have probably noticed that gas companies all over the I'nlt ed States have asked for and been granted Increased rates months ano and most of them have been making an Incomparably better .showing than this company. It Is with sincere reeret we mak this announcement and hope our friends and customers will under stand that only the most critical conditions and circumstances beyond our control have forced us to this measure. OREGON OAS A ELECTRIC COMPANY. OF GRAIN NEXT YEAR O. A. C, Corvallls, Dec. 17. Are the northwest farmers going to dump their grain on the ground next year? They are, according to Prof. G. R. Hyslop of O. A. C, unless they pro vide bulk storage. Sack prices are shooting skyward, he says, and de livery at any price is dlirtrinctly un certain. If sacks are available at all It will be only at prohibitive prices. The only alternative to dumping the grain on the ground Is paying four time or more the value of sacks or providing for bulk stor age. Even If sacks were available and the prices were right, the additional cost and work of sack handling Is enough to Induce the thinking far mer to adopt the bulk plan. Resides this, the sacked grain will be ship ped from Interior points In the dirt, while bulk grain will , he cleaned brought to grade and shipped to the terminal)) at the least expense and with no dockage. Bulk handling means equipment for handling grain from the thresh ing machine to the farm storage bins. From these It may be loaded Into earn from the loading platform. Better still, elevators may be locat ed at the shipping point where the grain may be cleaned, graded nnd loaded under the most favorable con ditions possible.
