attention by the Borkshlre association
Ja' that of tho car-load of sixty Berk
shire barrows to be fed out by tho
boys and shown by them collectively

Arrangements have been complotol
.whereby pig club members can Bocure
the sixty Berkshire barrows of uni
form! typo and breeding, each member
receiving four pigs of an avorago ago
of eight to ton weeks.
i About a week prior to tho date of
shipment to the Pacific International
all the pigs will he assembled at some
central point and thrown together for
the purpose of getting acquainted nud
having them settled onto a uniform
feeding system before shipment. I tore
the club members will practice a step
. In cooperation by choosing two or
three of their number to take care of
the pigs during the week's feeding and
shipment to Portland, all under the
direction, of course, of tho county club
lenders.

mnttois, is the manner In which tho
bunks foster and eucourngo tho move
ment by loaning the boys tho money
necessary to purcliaso their pigs. Tho
members sign notes nt the bank, bear
ing C per cent interest and payable
from the proceeds of the sale or in

ium of from, $200 to $000 per cnrlot on

Mr. Durant is one of the foremost authorities on motor
lubrication. This unsolicited letter proves the super
iority" of Cycol Motor Oil on land or sea.
The big reason for the perfect ftibrication that Cycol
gives is in its different chemical characteristics. Cycol
is free from destructive "sulpho" compounds. These
impurities are removed by the new Hexeon process
an advanced method of oil refining " used only by us.
As a result, Cycol does not break down nor thin out
rapidly under engine heat. It maintains the essential
lubricating film between moving parts. It prevents
many serious motor troubles.
Flush your crank case with fresh lubricating oil and
refill with the correct grade of Cycol as shown"by the
Cycol Recommendation Chart. ..
