Kehrll, Dairy Field Agent for Eastern Oregon The co-operative creamery about to be started iu Heppner under the management of I. M. Morgan, should be a large factor In stimulating the dairy business in this section. It is to the interest of every farmer inter ested in dairying in this vicinity to stand behind this enterprise and lend it his active support and patronage. Here now you have the opportunity to market your cream through your own organization, and be sure that you are getting all there is out of your cream. Unlike several co-operative cream eries recently organized in other parts of Eastern Oregon, this cream ery was not organized through the aid of a professional promoter. In several such cases coming under my observation, these promoters have put in creameries which cost the far mers from $4500 to $5500, and which could be duplicated for not to exceed $3000. The farmers could have saved the difference by doing the pro motion work themselves and calling on experts from the college to assist them in organizing. In this creamery all of the money subscribed will stay right here to go into equipment, building, working capital, etc. Two of the most important factors for a successful creamery are that it must handle considerable volume of business, and it must have a ready market for its product. In this creamery the product of over 400 cows has already been assured, and this will insure sufficient volume of business to keep the overhead charges down to a reasonable figure. Heppner alone will be the market for a considerable portion of this butter during the greater part of the year, and not much difficulty should be ex perienced in disposing of the rest Dairying is bound to become of more importance in this section, and a successful creamery will do more toward bringing this on than any oth er ftic'or. The best feed combina tion for the dairy cow is alfalfa hay and corn silage. Both of these feeds yield well here where water is avail able for irrigation. These two feeds properly combined produce butter- fat, through the cow, at a very low feed cost per pound of butterfat. However there is another factor in successful dairying that Is just as important as cheap feed, and that is good cows. Few dairymen realize the great difference existing between individual cows in their herds as profit makers. The only way to de tect the "loafer" cows is to "weigh and test the milk from each cow at reg ular intervals for a year. Then you are able to ascertain accurately which cows are returning you a profit, and which are the "boarders." There are other factors that must be considered in profitable dairying, but the above mentioned are the most important hut that the education of the heart is more valuable; that it is the work of the schools to teach the brother hood of man and make great wars an impossibility. The most Interesting address on industrial education was given by rror. I . J. Newbill, of the Pullman btate College. This was gratifying 10 tne writer, as Prof. Newbill was a former pupil of the writ;r. Among the school men from Ore gon, who appeared upon the pro gram, were State. Supt. Churchill, Pres. P. L. Campbell, Pres. J. H, Ackerman, Supt. L. R. Alderman Supt. O. M. Elliott, Pres. W. T. Fos ter, and Prof. Fred C. Ayer. The writer was the only county super intendent from Oregon, who had a place on the program. One Montana superintendent came to the meeting bringing with her fourteen of her teachers, the expenses of al! being paid by the boards of education. The City of Spokane did itself proud in making it pleasant for the members of the association. Nearly all the meetings were held in the Lewis and Clark High school This school has a very commodious auditorium. The lighting of the stage has been so arranged that no direct light falls into the eyes of anyone in tne audience. The stage is large enough to accomodate a glee club of one hundred fifty members. The windows throughout the building are provided with tan canvas adjustable shades, which make it possible to regulate the light easily, preventing a glaring light and still affording am ple light when it it necessary to shut out the direct rays of the sun, THE BEST FROM JUDGE COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES By Supt. S. E. Notson. The writer attended the Inland Empire Teachers' Association at Spo kane last week. Them eeting was, in many respects, the best which the Association has held. Among the speakers of national reputalon were Dr. A. E. Wlnship, U. S. Commission er of Education Claxton, Commission er E. O. Sisson, Pres. W. T. Foster, Pres. Henry Suzzallo, and C. P. Zan- er. Most of the addresses would have been called very radical if they had been delivered five years ago. Every body recognized that the sentiments expressed were indicative of the edu cational revolution which is going on around us. Dr. Claxton spoke of the opportunities for working out edu cational problems n the Northwest. Here edcatonal theories may be sub mitted to the test of the laboratory In a way not possible in the more conservative sections of the country. Dr. Winship said that the day had gone by when it is possible to have a successful educational meeting with only teachers present. He said it is necessary to have business men and other professional men in the meetings, and above all that it is necejsary to have representatives of school boards. He thinks that it will not be many years before the people and boards will find it a good invest ment to send at least one school board member to such gatherings at public expense. He regards the school board section of the National Educa tional Association, of which Mr. O. M. Plummer of Portland, is the pres ident, as one of the most valuable sections in the association. Dr. Sisson predicted that we are near the time when we will have schools in session twelve months iu the year. The work will be modified to make the summer work Include much industrial work. Dr. Claxton said that the schools must produce efficient workers in the human hive, but he said we must not forget that we are more than machines for the production of wealth. We must re member that we are human beings; that the things of the spirit should not be sacrificed to the god of effi cient production; that while making a living is a very important part of our work here, we should not forget to live while we are making a living; that industrial education is valuable, Helping the Game Along. The midnight stillness of the dark ened parlor was punctuated by I crash just overhead. "Wha-wha-what was that, dud- dud-darling?" exclaimed the timid young man. "Merely father dropping a hint," she replied, as she snuggled a little closer. I I I I Indurative. Now Roger once, in a mood of choler Thrust his head undo:1 a traction roller.

A little schoolgirl in Michigan has written the fololwing essay on the duck "The duck is a low heavy set bird. He is a mighty poor singer having a coarse voice caused by getting so many frogs in his neck and he likes the water and carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep him from sinking, the Duck has only two legs and they are set so far back on his running gears by nature that they come pretty near missing his body some ducks when they get big curls on their tails are called drakes and don't have to set or hatch but just loaf and go swimming and eat every thing in sight if I were to be a duck I would rather be a drake they have a wide bill like they use it for a spade they walk like a drunk man they bounce and bump from side to side if you scare them they will flap their wings and try to make a pass at sing ing." Detroit Journal. I ! ! i Sore Disappointment. The minister hurried down the aisle and grasped the stranger s hand. "I'm gdal to se you with us to night," he said. "I can see by the expression on your face that you are laboring under some deep sorrow, some great disappointment." 'You're right; I came in here think ing this was a movie, and having got in, I didn't have the nerve to get up and walk out." Michigan Gargoyle. I i I I Probably Just a Lull. Traveling through a new country In which a raw boom town had sprung up almost over night, a drum mer put up one night in a so-called hotel, where the thin partitions of a range of bedrooms stopped, like the stalls of a stable, half-way to the ceiling. And in the stilly watches of the night he lay awake and listened to the finest demonstration of plain and fancy snoring that it has every been his fate to hear. It was no straight-ahead affair, ro bust, monotonous, but full of sud den and awful variations. Sometimes strangulation seemed imminent; then in the middle of a fantasia the agony stopped suddenly and there was si lence. From far away down the stalls he heard a voice exclaim, wearily: Thank heaven! He's dead!" Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. 8 8 8 I N Another View.
