THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. Thursday, April 22, 1937 Cattle Make Gain on Good Roughage Storms and Hurricanes Are Nemesis of Mr. Purcell Well-Balanced Diet Found Profitable; Calves California Condors. Also Benefit. ANTA MONICA, CALIF — Local naturalists are all S agog over the discovery that the California condor is coming back in numbers to his former haunts just up country from here. In fact, they are going out of one violent gog right into another. Because the condor, the mightiest winged creature in all North America, was supposed to be practically extinct, along with such van- ished species of native wild life as the great auk, the passenger pigeon and the lightning rod agent. So now we have set up a new mark for envious Florida to shoot at. For while they may have croupiers at Bradley’s in Palm Beach, with eyes as keen and bleak as the con dor’s are, and real estate dealers in Miami as greedy as he is, our frustrated rivals will be put to it to dig up a bii'd with a wing spread of from nine to elev Irvin S. Cobb en feet. Communism’s Gallant Foe. a day passes but we - - read in the paper of an ac count of individual heroism, of sac- riflce, of devotion to duty—some thing which renews our faith in hu man beings and makes us realize that scattered through the world are splendid souls of whom we never heard before and probably shall never hear again. When the emer gency came he rose to it—and that’s enough. But because, in the last few months, we’ve learned to expect it of him, I’m thinking many of us fail to appreciate a recurrent act oí gallant service by one venerable, enfeebled man whose name is fa miliar to all Christendom. From time to time, triumphing by sheer will power, by sheer singleness of purpose above his own suffering, Pope Pius XI, speaking from what soon must be his deathbed, sends forth a clarion call for a united front against the growing menace of communism.

Cattle feeders with limited grain supplies are finding that thin cattle make cheap and fairly rapid gains on plenty of good well-balanced roughage. Profiting by their experience fol lowing the 1934 drouth, farmers went into the winter with a better supply of good roughage than they had that year. At meetings cattle feeders have told about the steady increase in flesh which yearlings and older cattle are making with practically no grain for the first few months, a practice which has been recommended by the extension serv ice of the agricultural college for a number of years. Even calves with just a little grain are gaining about 112 pounds a day and putting on some fat, getting +$ ready for a short full feed during the last few months before market ing. Cattle which are getting much Henry M. Purcell doesn’t like storms. Three times in the last ten years he has been their victim. He went silage usually are receiving some through the Miami, Fla., hurricane in 1926, moved to Palm Beach afterwards, but was caught in the “big cottonseed meal. Large steers on blow” of 1928. Then he moved to Montgomery, Ala., but the storm which struck there recently wrecked his silage are doing well with an addi garage and blew it down on his car.

When some OGPU CHIEF JAILED legume hay is included in the ra tion to supply protein, less cotton- seed meal is fed. Calves on silage with some legume hay, a little oats and one or two pounds a day of cottonseed meal are gaining nicely. It is suggested that these amounts of the high pro tein feed should balance the ration to meet fully the needs of the cat tle. This is a good plan especially since such feeds are relatively cheap. Soy bean oil meal is more suitable than cottonseed meal to use without silage. President Gets First Buddy Poppy Proper Care of Harness Will Lengthen Durability • Quefion, New Hot-Water Bottles—Have a little glycerine added to the water with which hot-water bottles are filled for the first time.

Protecting Buttonholes—A row of machine-sewihg around button holes in knit underwear prevents stretching and makes them last longer. • • « Boiling Old Potatoes—Old pota toes sometimes turn black during boiling. To prevent this add a squeeze of lemon juice to the water in which they are boiled. * * * Salmon in Rice Nests—T w o cups of rich cream sauce, one egg yolk, two teaspoons lemon juice, one pound can salmon, one small can mushrooms, one cup rice, two hard cooked eggs. Beat egg yolks slightly and add to the hot cream sauce with the lemon juice. Add the salmon and the sliced mushrooms and heat thoroughly. Boil the rice, drain and form in mounds on plates; then make depression in mounds to form nests. Fill with salmon mixture.

Wash and oil it occasionally, advises a writer in Wallaces’ Farmer. For washing, use tepid water, a neutral soap such as castile or white toilet soap, and n sponge or fairly stiff brush. A dull knife will re move hardened grease. Then rinse in the water and allow the harness to hang in a warm place until it is President Roosevelt shown receiving the first buddy poppy of the 1937 no longer wet, though still damp.

Do the oiling or greasing while the leather is still damp; oth erwise, it may take up so much SHE USES 3,800 WORDS grease that it will pull out of shape, or it may take up sand and grit. Harness should never look or feel greasy. Neatsfoot or castor oil, or a mix ture of these with wool grease, is preferred for treating driving har ness. For heavy harness, use neats foot oil, a mixture of neatsfoot and tallow, or all of these wool greases, to make a paste having about the consistency of butter. Apply the oil or grease liberally to the work har ness. Have the material warm to the hand, and rub it in thoroughly. After the harness has hung in a warm room overnight, remove the excess oil or grease with a clean, dry cloth. Too much grease darkens the leath- er and soils the clothing. Don t Genrikh G.
