II YOU ASK the average woman to
name the native birds In this vicin-
ity she will begin blithely: SPAR
rows. robins. and-und--" perhaps end
ing with turkeys. 1t is small wonder If
city residents know little OF anything
but sparrows, for they now form big
rust which has crowded out the other
Industries in the bird line. The other
day nice robin -red-breast was seen on
Jefferson avenue lawn tugging labori-
ously at a fine fat worm. 1t was "a sue
culent worm and he was pulling 1t by
degrees from the turf in order to not
have a dissected worm. He tugged and
tugged, and as 1t was imbedded closely
in the sod the task was one Of diff
Guilty. Two sparrows hovered in the
vicinity and when the robin had made
the last effort and triumphantly pulled
1t clear, almost toppling over backward
in the strain. the sparrOws composedly
few down and carried away the worm
from his very beak. That idiot Of a
robin performed the same feat twice for
those greedy little wretches, before he
seemed to realize that he was working
overtime, and the looker-on was forced
to believe that robins are not intel
lectual in their tastes.

That American horsehesh is rap
idly CROWN in favor in foreign
markets statistics proved. Within
the last six years Great Britain
alone spent 100000 in the
United States in the purchase of
horses, independent of the many
millions she spent for mules. Last
year not less than $4,000 horses
were shipped from this country to
England.
Until 1895 the expectation of
horses from the United States was
not an important item, but since
then it has grown into something
enormous and Great Britain is only
oae of The many foreign countries
whose recognition of the superior
ity of American horsefesh is at
tested by large purchases. During
the last six years American ship
ments of horses to other countries
have been as follows: South Africa,
81, 7,465, Canada, S,438; Cuba, 4, ,436;
British Columbia, 1913; China,

e. y. Mills Secures Orders for 5000
Head of Cattle.

Livestock Agent G. J. Mills, Of the 0.
X. & NJ, brought back from the nterna-
tonal livestock exhibition in Chicago
orders for 5000 head of Oregon cattle
conditioned on the proper market condi-
tons next spring, when the stock is to
be shipped.
Il find Oregon's reputation among the
stoekmen to be first class" said Mr..
Mills yesterday. "Eastern dealers have
tried The Texas and Mexican cattle and
those from the Colorado, and even Mon
taua, ranges, in comparison with the
Oregon stock, and our animsls have the
pref renee everywhere. There is an ac-
tive demand tor them at reasonable
prices. We can hold our own in any
market The conditions here are so ia
Yorabio for producing superior beef ami
mails that the industry is bound to pros
per. OF course, this does not mean thht
our stock Will stand fancy prices all the
time, but il does mean that we can get
a MAJ ket at any time in preference to
the cattle of other states.
Oregon breeding stock also stands
we'll in the estimation of Eastern breed
ers. In fact, none stands higher.
Though Oregon's exhibit at Chicago was
quite limited, the first prize went to an
Oregon Shorthorn bull, yearling be-
longing to w. @. Minor, of Heppner.
This was rewarded as a notable victory,
and it brought Oregon into prominent
position before the international breeders
81 found the East eager for informa.
ton about the Pacific Northwest. The
people are beginning to inquire specific
ally about Oregon; they have heard OF
it and want to know more. Anything
Olegonian is now sure to attract atten-
ton in the East, and look for a large
movement of settlers this way. Such
success as was won at the international
exposition is an important factor in adj
vertising the state IN quarters where it
well to be known. The National Live
stock Association at Kansas City next
week will give US another opportunity, |
and [ expect to see it made much Of
say, if a fellow thinks he is tired Of
Oregon, just let him take a trip East.
Ii that doesn't cure him, he is hopeless.
A very short time in the East will make
him eager to get back home, where he
can enjoy life again. Coming out of the
frozen East into green and balmy Ore
gon just at this time brings the climatic
into sharp contrast and shows
this state up to great advantage. Ore
