A Brief Record of Local Events. A. U. Bannard Sixth and D Streets GRANTSIPASS, -! OREGON; Wm. Schulmerich, a Successful Dairyman, Telia How to Make the CoW Pay. A dairy and fine stock meeting was held Thursday under the auspices of the Oregon Argicnltural College. There was good crowd preseut and much interest manifested.. Among the speakers were Dr. Withycombe and Prof. F. L. Kent of the college. E.T. Judd of Turner. William Sohulmert.'h of Hillsboro, and Hon. Ed H. Webster, chief of the division of dairying of the Department of Agriculture. Friday the speakers left for Kerby where a similar meeting Is to be held. William Scbnlmerich, in his ad- drees on "The Breeding of the Dairy Herd," said in part: 'We have 20,000,000 dairy cows in the United States at (be present time. and 15,000.000 of these are not paying for their board; 8,000,000 are barerly making expenses, and bat 2,000,000 are paying a profit. Bat one-tenth of the dairy cows in the United States are piofitable. This is an astounding condition of affairs, but we have it in Oregon just as they have it elsewhere. 'A representative of the Hazel wood Company took a census of the dairy cows in Oregon. Of 8200 cows, the average product per year each waa but f43. It costs . at least f40 to keep a oow a year, so it is easv to lee what the profit is. Of coarse among these cows there were some herds, one at Albany, that pay well That at Albany averaged 95. 45 each cow per aonum. A herd in Columbia County of 21 cows yielded a return of 12000 per annum. There were herds among the number that produced only 15 per oow, or 35 less than the acatal cost of keeping the oow a year. ' To remedy such conditions, each i farmer should test his cows individu-1 ally, find which are profitable and dis pose of the unprofitable ones. Then he shoald head the herd with the best dairy-bred balls he can find, and he! should raise heifer calves from the' best dairy cows. He will find that I the first cross from Forester's Mask Ball December 81.

John Randle left North Friday night with a deserter for the U. S. army whom he returned to Vancouver bar- ricks. The fellow was anxious to re tarn and although not confined he made no effort to escape. Miss Marjorie Kinney, now a stu dent at Pomona college, Cal., had the misfortune a few days ago to fall on the gymnasium floor and cracked a knee cap, which injury will confine ber to her bed for some time. The school board held a meeting on Tuesday evening and arranged for a meeting of the tapxayers for the pur pose of levying a special school tax. The meeting will be held on Friday, December 28, at 3 p. m., in the high school building. THE HELLO GIRLS ARE KEPT BUSY SOME BARGAIN POINTERS News Notes From the Business Men to Haiders. Monday There Were 3740 Loce.1 Calls at the Grants Pass Telephone Office. Very few of the Grants Pass people who step np to the telephone and give two short turns to the little lever at the side of the box have any idea of the number of other people who are doing the same thing and how many times during the day they do it. The Sunset Telephone Company has a "count day" the lOih of each month, on which all the offices in their sys tem seep a reoord of all local calls made that day. Monday of this week was "count day" and in Grants Pass the record showed 8740 calls for the day. As the local business is handled by two girls you can see that there is some good reason for the occasional delay in receiving a response to the ring. Think of two girl., saying "number" 8740 times in one day be sides the onmeroos questions that most be answered and the irate phone hrAtar tliat must llA IMwaaull w1.a suoh breeding ... ,,,.

It shoald be at least 88 degrees, and should ( never be fed in too large quantities. I Some think because the cream has been taken away there is not mnch 1 food value left. This is a mistake;' there is a lot of solids left in the milk. Ground or hole oats should ' always be kept before the calf while ' it is yoang, so it may help itself. ' HeifHrs should . le bred when 15 or 10 months of age, and the lint milking : period shoald extend ovei a pwrfod of' at least a year. Many a young cow's' dairy qualities have been ruioedby! ouly milking her seven or eight' months the first time. "The principal obstacle to saccessfal , dairying today is the effort on the part of farmers to combine dairy qualities and beef in the same animal. They try to get an animal that will give lots of good milk and at the same time will store np a lot of nirat for ' nse when cow has served her time as a milk producer. It is impossible to combine meat and milk In the same! business cao be haudled with more satisfaction to the resideut phoue holders.
