There aro other things to bo considered, eomo In special cases and sotuo In certain spe clnl linen of work, but tbeso four are always present. When considered from this bnitla tho shock corn method of feeding cnttlo will compare favorably with any. says C A. Waugh In Country tJcntlcmnn, A pound of corn fed as shocked corn will not produce so much gain under some circumstances as a pound fed lu Hertford cattle are unexcelled In beef type.

This does not Imply that cattle can bo tilted for show on this feed. Even though It does appear wasteful to some nnd .though It does not conform to the standards of a bat Hiircil ration. It Is for practical pur loes an excellent feed. Sdme feeders may say that such methods are Impractical und wasteful, jet the fart remains that over 5.0UO cnttlo are fed In n single county In Ohio every winter; nud that this meth od la followed lu nearly every Instance. Moreuter. out of their prntlts these farmers are paying for land worth $130 no acre which, on account of tho great .amount of manure that la returned to It Is becoming even more valuable. In every cane hogs follow the cattle. When the Utter are put on feed a pig weighing from 10(1 to ISO pounds Is put behind each steer. Hinaller pigs do not do so well ns those of this wetgUL When the rattle are weighed out the bogs are usually ready for market. Often one Is able to fatten two droves of bogs with a single bunch of steers. Few kernels are missed, and In atimwt every rase every pound of gain made by the bugs represent so much dear protlt to the feeder. We bare always been partial to abort feeds of from ninety to a hun dred days, and for such feeding we usually aim to get cattle which weigh a thousand ihmiikIs or more and wblcb can U- warmed up to an advantage Two Hiiiiids n (lay la Mn average gain, though tliereare niauy Instance where three pounds have beu 'made. 'Two IHiunds dally will put cattle of this sort in fair condition within the hundred day limit. It tnkea time to get a bunch of cnttlo on fullfeed. If any grass Is at band they are put on It and given a light ration each day, the amount being In creased until tbey are on full" feed. A month Is often taken np 'before tbey rencb this stage, but after we are feed. lug them to tha limit we do not cut down on (be ration simply because tbey do not bapjien to clean up all that la given tbera on some particular day. The hogn are there to pick up what U riu ii sriuuiu nj iu irru id a i stingy manner. Btraw Is always rel -Ished at the nooo hour and we aim to give them siih a feed at least three times a week.

' The amount of gain the young stock will miike during winter depends largely upon the feed and care they let. It Is true thai (he scrub will of. fu make very little gain even with good care, but in these days of blgh priced feed It does not pay to keep senilis at all, so we cannot take them, into consideration. A calf of good blood, bowerer, will always answer to good tending, but eren It cannot do well without It. - i Providing warm quarter for tho young stock during winter U also an Important factor. Not only is thla to protect them from severe weather, but it wll save feed as well. Young stock that la unsheltered during cold weath er cannot bo expected to do dwell. It will take good bit of feed and tlmo to make up for the loss obtained dur Ing.n sIukIo night If the stock has been out in severe weather. The Zodiacal Light.

' i t mere were some arucies comparing 1 BEND and its future with Seattle and its past. Did you read them? You undoubtedly did. If you did not, loose no time to do so and while you are reading THINK. After thinking hard, ask yourself if you can afford to let pass another such opportunity as those now wealthy men in Seattle who could see into the future took advantage of--then invest in Bend property. Once there was a man who said he would never do anything he hadn't done before. Fortunately there were not many of his kind, so the world continued to advance just the same.
