In various sections of Oregon la the. warning notn con tained in a letter recently received here from former Senator Jntiothnn llourne who ail v I mm that prompt pro teat should bn made against any uch move. Thin la a matter of In termit particularly to oaatern Ore run and coast Comities having much tar route mall sorvlcn. A every one known, the adoption of the parrel pout remitted In enor mous Increases In tho amount of mall nspoclally for delivery within abort distances. Tho Kovernment la now connlderlnK bids for now star route contract and It la certain thiit the coinpenaatlon asked by bidders will far exceed tho amount paid In the pant. It la anticipated that In an ef fort at economy tho Department will nlthor postpone tho lotting of new contracts or wilt reduce the frequen cy of aervlco from dally mall to three time a week or from throe times a week to twlco or onco a week, or, la some Instances, dlscontlnuo tho orvlce altogether. Ia hU parcel post bill Senator llourne provided for eight zone dis tance, the first two being BO miles and 160 miles respectively. Tho bftl also authorized the Tost m ater Qoneral, when experience de monstrated the destrablllty, and with the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission, after Investi gation, to reduce the rate for the 150 mile sone as for the CO mile zone. This gave patrons of long star routes a rate that la below the freight rnte, thus throwing Into the malls kik-Ii matter that would ordlnnrlly lie hauled In freight wagons. Beuutor llourne takes the view that tho original 60 mllo und lf.n mile zones should have been retain ed, with rates that w ill be Holf-sup-portliig. and thut If the lc purtiiicnt madn a inlHtnke In -nt ittil lull In k one rate for the two dlxtnncoH, It should TTovv La. not try to avoid the consequence by roduclng or discontinuing service. He contends that the people who have gone out on the frontier to make their homes and dovelop tho latent resources of the country are entitled to such encouragement and assistance as the government can give In the matter of mall service and taya that patrons of star routes should not consent to any diminu tion of service on account of any un wise acts of the administrative of ficers of tho government. Hen a tor llounres letter Is the first Intimation received here that there Is any danger of delay In letting con tracts or probability of efforts to cur tall service. It will serve to place the people of Oregon on their own guard. BUSINESS WAS GOOD It. U. lU'N.N CO.

N. 13 of SHORTHORNS AS MILK PRODUCERS From the very origin of the breed Shorthorns have bad two qualities to commend lb em to the favorsble con siderntlun of fsrmers and stockmen, and It Is this dual capuclty for beef and milk production that baa made tbem so K)piilar. writes H. O. Cowan In the Nstlonsl Htockmao. As beef pro ducers they are known over the civi lized world, but tbelr dairy qualities, though excellent when prowrly devel oped, are not so well recognized. At the present day the large herds that supply the city of London with milk and butter are compoaed quite largely and In some cases exclusively of Hhorthorn cows, either pure bred or high grades. To some extent this la also true In New York and New Eng land. The best milk record of any Short born cow Is that of Hose of (ilen-lde, msJ under the auspices of the Penn sylvania Agricultural college. iJurlng a test of twelve months she produced 18.075 pounds of milk and 730 pounda of butter, an average of two pounda of butter per day and 40.5 pounds of milk. During the year 1012 a new butter record was made, and It is the best 4 Tha Milking- Shorthorn bull her shown Is Bransby's Coming Btar, champion of Kngiand as a two-yaar-old.

SHEEPFOLD IN WINTER. Parasites and Colds Common Cold Weather Ailments. Sbeep are not subject to many win ter ailments thnt cannot be prevented if proier precaution Is taken In ar ranging hnrus and yards and feed ing suitable foods in the right propor tions, writes L. J. Meredith In the Iowa Homestead. One of tbe best treat ments for sheep that are suffering from common winter ailments la a purgative. Few flock owners appre ciate tbe value of epeom salts or pure raw Unseed oil In reducing fever and Inflammation. If It is advisable to give sheep a stimulating medicine of any kind a purgative Is the most beneficial. One of tbe most insidious winter ail ments Is a cold. A cold at tne begin ning des not produce any serious all tueut, but as it gets a gradual foothold it develops Into more serious ailments that use up tbe body tissues and weak en the whole system of the affected an imal. Catarrh, that follows a severe cold, consists of liitlaiumatiou of tbe mucous membrane of tbe throat, nos trils, windpipe anil sinuses of tlie bead. In case the disease gets thoroughly es tablished good nursing, comfortable bousing and nutritious food will tielp to give the animal tlie necessary vitali ty to regain its uornial condition. This la tbe only successful method of treat lug colds aud catarrh. Few flock owuers renlize tbe tremen dous losses incurred by parasites dur- ! ing the winter. As a rule, these exter nal parasites are unusually active dur I lug tbe winter. The dense fleece of the I sheep is an ideal phu-e for them to live I and reproduce In great numbers. As the parasites multiply the sheep be come restless aud begin to rub against the corners of tbe feed racks and par titions In tbe barns. There Is but one method or treatment, und that is to eradicate the mil. If any of tbe ani mals show Indications of being affect ed with the trouble in the fall they should tie dipped before tbey are put Into winter quarters, if the barn and feed rucks become infested much trou ble will le encountered in cleaning out the pests There la no danger In dip ping If a warm day is chosen and tbo sheep as soon ns dipped are put Into a btrn ii nd kept away from drafts until they hiv dry. Using ths Separator. Separate tbe cream while tbe milk la atill warm and In cold weather first ran hot wnter through tbe separator to warm 't 8 train the milk Into the sepurator through a wire gauze. HORSE LORE. Try to turn your norae'a back to the wind and blanket him when tying 1 1 1 ii up. Give a bran mash Saturday night or Pundiiy noon and on Wednesday night also if work Is lack. The actual cost to keep added to the service fee of the sire rep resents the amount at which horses you raise stand yon. Do not forget to salt the horse once a week. or. better still, keep salt always before blm. Ue knows best bow much be needs.

Whenever and wherever hog cholera Is prevailing all other epidemics to wblcb swine are subject are apt to b classified as bog cholera. Here. Is an incident that took place In Will coun ty, III., wblcb Is a case In point. The same is' related by the Farmer's Ite view as Illustrating the value of a county adviser: One day a hurry up call was re ceived from a farmer wJoe bogs were dying from supiosed cholera. Of 300 bend but fifty were left, and the ex ternal appearance of these d'd not In dicate cholera. The adviser bad a sick one killed and Immediately made a postmortem examination. The vital organs were found to fce In a healthy condition, but the intestines were full of worms. Mr. Orannls advised a vermifuge for expelling the worms and the feeding of a mixture of limestone screenings, rock pbospbate and wood ashes. This advice waa followed, and no further loss of pigs followed. Thla advice is Invaluable to the bog raiser. Worms and lack of mineral matter are two great causes that contribute to a bad physical condition, which roakea plirs susceptible to any disease that may come along, and If tbey die In any number It la called cholera. WARDING OFF CHOLERA. Prevention of Disease In the Hog Herd Better Than Treatment. There Is u farm In central Ohio which Is noted for Its One hot;s. There are always from liK) to 3u0 good pork ers on it. says the Kiinn uud Fireside. Choleru has raged all uhout It bur there has never been a case on tbe farm, it is a farm of over 1.1NJO acre. No watej Is used from any Bource out side the farm. So uo infeetlou cuu come In the wnter the hogs drink. One duy a neighbor came wandering through the place. The owner halted him and asked him whether the reHrt was true that be came from a farm Infected with cholera. The neighbog admitted thnt bis hogs were dying of It. "Then get off my place." said the owner. The neighbor arew huffy. 'Well." said the-nwner. "you wouldn't tome into my house if you had small- The Yorkshire breed of hogs bad Its origin in England, where It is very popular, aa It also la In Can ada. It being raised almost to tne exclusion of other breeds. The Yorkshire came to the United States about twenty-five years ago and is recognised as one of the best of the bacon producers. The sows are prolific and are excellent mothers. Butchers who cater to the best trade pay a premium for well fitted bacon hogs. The Yorkshire boor here shown waa champion of nla breed at the last Iowa state fair. pos, would you?" "No. of course not." "Well, then why come into my fields when you come from a farm that's In fected with cholera? We are always glud to lie neighborly, but we can't af ford to pay for culls with our herd of bop " The neighbor admitted that this position was correct and weut away feeling perfectly satisfied. These lm;s ruu In pastures, but tbe pastures are exceptionally situuted. The Minnesota sanitary board recom mends that when cholera rages tbe boirs be kept lu smalt, dry pens. "Keep your dog tied." tbey add, aud they might suy. "Shoot every dog when be crosses your Hue fence.' Dis infect the troughs dally with a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. No bog cafl legally be taken from nny stock yard except for slaughter, and breed ing bogs when shipped should, of course, be crntod and kept out of the stock yards. And when one is brought on the farm from outside It should be kept by Itself for at least two weeks. It will pay to put a boy out with a gun during daylight hours to shoot at and kill if possible every pigeon, crow, mourning dove and English sparrow in sight. Tbey all carry germs from farm to farm. And don't let the bogs drink from running streams or surface water originating outside tbe farm. A Dairy Improver.
