Feed Required for 1Oo-pound Cain.

It Is common saying, and a general estimate among cattle feeders that a bushel of corn will produce five pounds of beef. In making this estimate, of course the quality and condition of the animal have much to do with the re- suit. It requires so much feed to keep up the physical. structure. all over this goes Into either beef or milk and but ter fat, owing to the kind of cattle that is being fed.
 Some interesting and instructive in formation along this line has been re- gently gathered by Prof. Mumford. of the Illinois Experiment Station. It is more than probable that the matter of feeding cattle upon the most econom- ic principles with a view to profit, is thoroughly understood by the farmers of Illinois, where feeding beef cattle is speciality Prof. Mumford sent out a number of inquiries to the feeders of that State. and in order to place the correspondence on record, they were asked; How much grain and how much hay do you estimate it takes on the average, to produce 100 pounds of gain on CD calves in winter. (2) calves in summer on grass, (3) yearlings in winter, (4) yearlings in summer on grass. (5) 2-year-olds in winter, (6) 2-year-olds in summer on grass?"
 The most striking feature of the re- piles 10 thIs, as to many ot the ques- tions discussed, is the wide variation in the replies. The need of more care full observation and more systematic methods in feeding Is here strikingly shown. For calves in winter the av- craze amount of corn named in forty one replies Is eleven and a quarter bushels, the highest amount twenty bushels and the lowest four bushels. For the same in summer. the average amount named in thirty-one replies Is ten and three -tenths bushels, the high est sixteen bushels and the lowest four bushels. For yearlings in winter, the average amount named in forty-seven replies Is fifteen and three-tenths bush els. the highest thirty bushels and the lowest five bushels. For 2-year-olds In winter, the average calculated from 11Q replies is eighteen and fve-tenths bushels. the highest forty bushels. the

Leaf Shedding.

renee indicates much concerning the vigor of the tree and the ripeness or maturity of the buds. Trees that are lacking in vigor shed their leaves ear Her, as a rule. than do those that are making excessively vigorous growth. Young fruit trees that are not old enough to bear fruit usually continue growing long after the twigs of old CT bearing trees have ceased to lengthen their twigs. If the tree is stimulated by long continued cultiva- ton in autumn or by being too high ly fertiliSed, 1t will grow late and It's wood and buds will fail to ripen. On the other hand, if 1t is given bad care so that 1t loses it's vigor. 1t will shed its leaves prematurely early. Trees that are weakened by carrying too much fruit usually indicate the fact by shedding their leaves earlier in the season. The production of too much fruit uses up a part of the energy of the tree, and 1t has less power to pro- mote late growth. We may say that 8 tree has a certain amount of energy to expend in it's annual cycle of growth. The less energy 1t has. the sooner is this energy used up, resulting in a shorter period of growth.
 Trees that continue growth and shed their leaves too late usually make wood growth instead of fruit. Those which SHG0 LnGlE l64NCH IOO CdEly are u601AAy too weak to carry a good crop of fruit. The time of leaf shedding, then. is a good index to the treatment that should be given the trees next year. It enables the grower to determine whether he should give better cultiva- tion and more fertilizers or cease cul- tIvation earlier and In other ways ar- rest the wood growth of the tree.
 The fact that early shedding of the H,oa lao nP vigor should not be confounded with the failure of broken or injured twigs to shed their leaves. It is a noticeable fact that a twig that is half broken from the tree will retain its leaves through the winter. If twig sudden ly dies of blight or from any other cause. during the active growth of the tree, it's leaves turn brown and die without being shed from the tree. It should be remembered that leaves fall as a result of the formation of cork cells behind the stem of the leaf. If growth In a twig is suddenly stopped by some injury, these cork cells do not form and the leaf cannot thus be pushed off.-Prof. J. c. Whitten. at Illinois State Horticultural Society.
 FertllizinR and Harvesting Onions.
 A fertilizer, mixed at the station and containing per cent nitrogen, per cent phosphoric acid and per cent potash, was applied March at the rate of 500 pounds per acre. and work ed in at each side of the rows by means of the two-wheeled fertilizer distribu- tor. This treatment had a noticeably beneficial effect on the plants. and 1t Is question whether or not earlier ap- plication would have proved of greater value.
 Harvesting.-When. on May 10, about s5 per cent of the onions. by the fall ing and whitening of the tops. showed a sufficient degree of maturity. the ir- rigation plats and some of the varie- ties were harvested. The onions were pulled by hooking the Anger under one

 The planting of March 20, 1901, ger minated to good stand by April 1. mak- ing rapid growth until June 24th. at which time 1t was cut and weighed, making an estimate yield per acre of 25.e89 pounds. During 1909 we planted rape earlier-February 2sth It ger minated to good stand by March 18th. This planting matured its crop by March 24th. and made an estimated yield of ss.s6o pounds per acre.
 MT. J. F.

 'Mr. Isaac Grindstoff of Peaster. Parker County, Texas. says: Rape was planted April 2sth on piece of sandy soil which was previously cropped in sugarcane. The soil was in poor con- dition. Germinated to good stand by June 5th. The very dry weather cut the yield short During the early stages of it's growth while there was good season in the soil the growth was rapid. Rainfall was below formal.
 MT. Robert JayEes of Bibb. Comanche County, Texas; Rape was planted April 18th on well plowed and narrowed land Gsrmfnated April 20th. It made fine pasture for hogs. Hogs should not be allowed to run on rape all the time. as it Is easily trampled down. VIII plant rape again next year.

no Execp sweet Potatoes.

I notice an inquiry from Henry T.
 Williams as to how to keep sweet pota- toes. My plan Is first to let the pota- toes get thoroughly matured, and if possible dig them when the ground fs dry Handle them in gathering like they we're eggss to prevent bruising. Then make bed at some convenient place. Elevate the earth about five inches. above the surface and not over 6 or feet wide. and long enough to hold the amount of potatoes you have allowing to pile them not over feet high on the bed. Then make ventila- tors by mailing four pieces of 1xA plank together. box fashion. Have the plank feet long, then bore holes with inch bit in each plank every { inches from bottom as high as you want to pile the potatoes, say { or 5 feet. Put these ventilators in center of bed every or 6 feet and pile the potatoes on, allowing the ventilators to stand upright. Pile the potatoes from one end of bed to the other or inches above the auger holes, then cover the potatoes with wheat straw, corn stalks. or potato vines, if dry, then put on dirt or 10 inches deep, allowing top of ventilators to remain open except in freezing weather, which may then be stopped up by stufipg old sacks in; be sure and unstop when the thermometer is above 40. Cover with boards to keep them dry and in the spring you will have hill of potatoes as sound as when you put them up.-G. N. Dickinson, Tender son, Texas, in Farm and Ranch.

Best RenOvating CrOps-wlnter Forage
 Cr0ne.

Dear Madam---Your letter of April 24 10 at hand. It Is difficult for one not knowing the exact character of your soil and not knowing whether your re- zion has yet been invaded by black root of cotton and root rot of cowpeas to advise you intelligenty as to the best renovating crop to employ in addition to cowpeas, Cowpeas should be your chief reliance for the summer growing fenoYattng crop, unless you have some fields where there are present the or- ganisms causing black root of cotton and the insect causing root knot and nematode injury of cowpeas. If either Is present, should advise instead of common varieties of cowpeas the use of either Iron cowpea or the velvet bean.
 For winter-growing crops, vetch, burr, clover and crimson clover should be considered. Of these, crimson clover Ia the only one of which the seed are cheap enough for you to SOW thick enough to obtain complete covering of the ground without recourse to thickening by self seeding. I think that at least three bushels of the burs or bur clover are required to give a satisfactory stand, and this runs the price up to about $4 per acre for seed. Likewise thick seeding with vetch costs almost as much. Fortunately vetch can be made to reseed when sown thinlv
 
 early for hay, thus permitting the sec ond growth for seed, or cut very late for grain. thus permitting some shatter- ing for seed. Vetch and bur clover seed must be artifcialIy inoculated. The threshed bur clover seed is so far as know always California grown and needs inoculation. and I am far from satisfied that 1t is equal To our Southern bur clover seed If un- threshed bur clover seed Is bought 1t needs no inoculation.
 Rape as a Hog Feed fin Texaa.
 Late spring rains will cause our Texas readers to look about them for a safe. quick growing crop for hig feed this spring. Get some rich spot ready enrich 1t if now poor-and plant rape as you would SOW turnips, either broad cast or in drills. This Is no experiment., but safe crop. The Texas Station in 1903 printed its experience with rape and gave the results of some plantings made by farmers. The simple truth about this crop is good enough--and in all cases is the best for the grower. Here Is what the Texas bulletin says about spring blantings;
 Hogs paskured on rape should bo confined to Small spaces to prevent waste. Ho&s should not be pastured solely on E&pe to begin with. but should be allowed to gradually accustOm

A Hale County correspondent asks as to the advisability of sowing alfalfa In the fall.
 Gentlemen-Your recent letter is at hand. I myself addressed the alfalfa bulletin to you and do not understand why it failed to reach you. will send another today. Planting alfalfa in Sep tember is successful when the ground can be put in hrst-class condition for this early sowing. but sowing as late as the middle of October usually results in the heaving out, of a large proportion of the young alfalfa plants the first winter. On the whole, I consider March sowing preferable. JED.

Perhaps so clerks in Pendleton
know a smattering OF the Cayuse-

acquired through trading constantly
with the Indians. The most common
Indian words used In the stores are
the numerals, the Indians knowing the
names of most of the articles, but are
not always certain of the number or

successful trading with Indian Gus

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-12-22

On January registration for the
election will begin In accordance with
the new direct primary law. In this
city the books will be In the office OF
the county clerk as In the past, while
in the remainder of the county the
books will be with the justices OF the
peace.
Since the county clerk and hiS reg
ular deputies will be busy with the
tax roll during the next few months,
II special registration clerk is neces-
saIy. Clark Nelson, of Weston, has
been appointed to this position and
will enter upon his duties when the
books are opened.
After the opening of the books on
January 2, registration will continue
until April TO- when 1t will cease FOR
IA days while the primary conventions
are being held. On April 25 the books
Will again be opened and will remain
70 until May Is, when they will be
closed for the general election. There
will be but one set of registration
books. and when a voter registers 1t
suffices for both the primary and
election.
Since the adoption of the direct
primary law completely changed the
nominating system in Oregon, there
are naturally many thlngse about the
new law to be learned. In this the
work Is made more complicated
through the law itself being framed in
such manner as TO make its provis-
ions rather difficult to understand.
However. the following abstract OF the
law, which has been prepared by the
secretary of state and attorney gen.
eral. gives its provisions in a concise
form:
