DAIRY COWS NEED CHEAP FEED
With present high prices for all
forms of concentrates, the fedeing of
dairy cattle calla for economical
fends. At tiie annual Farmers' week
to lie held at the Oregon Agricultural
college December 29 to January 3, all
phasea of the feeding problem will
be discussed. It can be ahown that
the rough feeds like ensilage, bay,
straw and other such material raised
right on the placo, are much more
economical to ute than the mill feeds
purchased on the open market Mo
lasses too, although It appears to be
expensive. Is nevertheless a cheap
feed and Is of great value In making
other feeds, such as cheat hay and
straw, more palatable and readily
consumed by dairy cattle. After each
lecture on feeding about 15 minutes
wilt he spent in discussion and In
answering questions.

The Strikers Who Didn't Fight
"Fred Jones la the stingiest boy I
ever saw," said Jack as be met his
ancle coming up the walk.
'"And what Is Fred ao stingy
about?" replied Unci Ted.
"Well, you see we've been playing
Indian because we can have smoke
fires from the leaves for signals. I
was to gather ell the leaves for my
fire and Fred was to get some
matches to light it with because
mother put ours away where I could
n't find them. When I was ready I
told Fred to bring the matches and
he said he wouldn't bring the matches
until t gave him enough leaves for his
smoke fire. So won't you let me
have a match. Uncle Ted?"
"Fred has sort of gone on strike
hasn't he. Jack?" answered his uncle
with a big, broad smile. "Now I'll
tell you Jack, the wind Is blowing so
hard that I'm afraid It Is a bit dang
erous for little boys to be playing
with bonfires. Suppose you get your
sister and we will go In the house
and sit In front of the big fireplace
while I tell you a story. How's that?"
"That'll be fine," said Jack.
After the trio were seated by the
fire, which was crackling and sput
tering, Uncle Ted said:
"Last week I told you kiddles some
thing about tfie strikes which are
going on In our country and how
Germany may get ahead of us if we
don't all get to work and produce
Just as much as we possibly can. Now
I am going to tell you something
about the men who are striking, who
during the war didn't have to go and
fight because tibe government' felt
their work was almost as Important
as fighting. You aee. children, the
coal miners have quit work and our
country may have to go without coal
In a short time if they don't go back
to work. If we don't have coal, we
can't run our trains, and if we can't
run our trains we can't ship food.
So It la a very serious matter. Presi
dent Wilson told the miners that
their act In striking was unlawful
and our congress in Washington has
said the some. It has been necessary
to bring about almost military law In
the various coal regions. That Is.
the government Is keeping soldiers at
these places to see that the property
and lives of the people are protected
from aojr act of violence.--
"How many of these strikers are
there?" asked -Jack. ' ; ; ', '
"Before 1 answer that Jack, you
must know that besides the mtneis
who are on strike the railroad men
also threaten to strike. 'Inches two
classes there ere about 1,000,000 men.
"The' point Is that these million men
during the war were protected, by Che
government from going to fight and
received the best pay they had ever
been given. In contrast to that the
other million of men were at the
front In France fighting, risking their
Uvea end receiving $30 a month. Our
congress la .determined that the self
ish Interest of this one million shall
not come before the Interest. of the
other 43,000,000. Tho records of
these men, who are now fighting for
higher pay, which leaders In congress
have been Investigating, show that
they are the very ones who received
the highest pay during the war and
fought at homo. Even though, the
government said their work here dur
leg the war was Important, there
were other classes just as important
bnt who are loyal now and are work
ing end producing. The farmers wh?
produce our food ere the best ex
ample of this.
"General Crowds r, who had charge
of the work of selecting the men for
military service during the war h
records which show the number of
coal .mine operatives end railroad
men. There were 708,013 coal mine
operatives of all ages and 380,000
engineers, firemen, brakemen, and
conductors. This makes the total of
1,000,000 who' ere attempting to stop
all Industry by striking while we
have In contrast to that 43.20S.S12
men in all kinds of work. Then there
Is another class, the men who work
In the steel mills. These men nave
been striking as I told you last week.
The men In this work ere mostly for
signers. A great number of these did
