It is not enough however, that your cows be heavy producers. They must
produce economically. The following table shows the importance of getting

Three farmers made labor incomes over $700 with cows poorer than
average, $70 or better per head, me cnances ot making a good labor income
with poor cows are very light.
now much return per acre is necessary to make a good labor income?
Should the average tanner strive for me highest possible return per acre?
After studying these records it would seem that a good return per acre is
necessary Uimake a good labor income, the larmers with low returns per
acre did not make good labor incomes, but neither did those farmers with
the highest return per acre make good labor incomes. Most of the high
labor incomes were made on those larms securing from $35 to $60 return per Notice of Completion of Street Im­ time as the consideration thereof may

this field is immediately given a good sprinkling with, liquid manure. This
practice is followed as tar as possible over the w nole farm. This it seems is a

Record of A Year's Business.
During the first part of February, 1916. farm analysis records were taken
of one hundred and three Tillamook County farms by County Agriculturist
R. C. Jones, assisted by Fann Management Demonstrator H. F. Keyes.
Fifty-eight of the farms were classified as bottom land farms
and forty- i

Printing Point Does Not
Bob Up and Down
In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to v rite capitals.
Why?
Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
and this does not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
This is one reason why L. C. Smith &. Bros, type­
