ALWAYS ROOM TO CLIMB.
IfLads Have Ambition-A Story
by Prof. Horner.

In his usual entertaining man
ner Prot. Horner, in one OF his
series of letters now running IN
the "Oregon Sunday Journal
at Portland tells story that
should touch and thrill the heart
of every young man and boy
who reads it.
1t tells the story of an upright
and esteemed professor at OAC,
a Scotch dIwho landed at As
toria, worked for wages in Ben
ton county and through perse-
verance and will-power attained
position tor himself in the
world that might be envied by
the average man: This lad grad
uated from OAC where he is now
a professor, and Prof. Horner
tells the story in his own. way, as
follows:
On approaching the Rosetta
branch of the Nile we are CON
fronted by the city of Alexandra.
To our right is Pompey's Pillar,
more than hundred feet high;- :
to the left are the ruins of Pha-
ros, the old light house which
was listed as wonder of the
world. Further down the coast,
fourteen miles or more, is the bay
of Aboukir, where was fought
the Battle of the Nile. Here
stood Admiral Nelson and here
stood Casabianca. Victory was
too tame a word, so Nelson call
ed the battle conquest" But
which run the greater victory
and which will be sung longer
by muse-England's greatest ad-
miral or the boy who "stood on
the burning deck, when all but
he had hed?"
While we were talking of the
little Italian boy / thought of a
sturdy Scotch lad who had been
pushed out of his home and
enticed aboard a ship as sailor.
He passed Aboukir bay for Port
Said many years after the battle
of the Nile. His ship plowed
three oceans and finally he found
himself on the coast of Oregon.
Driven by despair to greater and
higher activities, he went inland
in quest of labor that he might
obtain an education. He excel
ed on the tarm as a laborer and
in college as a student. Labor
on a farm and midnight oil in
the sindent's cloister yield a
bouutiiul harvest to, an honest
boy. After graduation he was
employed as professor in his alma
mater. Finally he became one
of the most usefnl men in hi:
state. This is the story of the
boy inbred with as much spiri
as ever was the hero of the Nile
He sought such opportunities tt
unfold his powers OF usefulness a.
America can afford. Who is ths
greatest of these-the noted ad-
miral, the little son of Casabianc'
or the Scotch lad who is worth.

FATTENING STEERS.
Value of Alfalfa nnd Cornstalks .
R0Hrh Feed.

Value of Alfalfa and Cornstalks as
Rough Feed.
A bulletin recently issued by the Ne
braska experiment station gives the
details of a feeding experiment with
two-year-old range steers, the results
of which show very clearly that the
character of roughness supplied in con-
nection with corn is very important
factor in the economical production Of
beef. Six lots Of steers, with ten in
each lot, were fed experimentally for a
period of six months.
Without entering into the details Of
the test with two year olds, as reported,
the conclusions are tersely stated in
| the bulletin as follows:
With present prices for both corn and
beef greater consideration must be CIV
en- to the character and quantity Of
roughness fed in connection with corn
to fattening cattle.
That alfalfa hay is pronouncedly su-
perior to prairie hay for beef produc-
tion and that the more rapid the eX-
tension OIL luC area OIL lue lluu ueVOCeu
to the production Of alfalfa, supplant-
ing the less valuable and lower yield
ing native hay, the more rapid will be
| the production Of wealth from our soil.
That native prairie hay, if for any
reason it is most available for feeding
purposes, should not be fed with corn
alone, but rather with corn supplement-
ed with small quantity of some pro-
tein food, such as oilmeal, cottonseed
meal or gluten meal, to give more near
ly balance Of nutrients in keeping
with animal requirements.
That cornstalks cut Immediately aft
er the ears ripen possess food value
which cannot consistently be ignored
by the farmer and that existing land
values warrant the larger utilization Of
this roughness by the adoption of
methods Of harvesting that will make
such material more valuable for feed
ing purposes.

THE HORSEMAN

One popularity among trotting bred
horses that should be noted by breed
ers of market animals is that Of toeing
out, says National Stockman. So many
trotting bred horses toe out either with
one or both front feet. This unfortu-
nate condition Is highly transmissible,
and stations that toe out should not be
patronized. Many a really high class
horse, or what would be termed high
class horse were it not for this in6rm-
ity, is made third rater owing to the
position his feet occupy in relation to
his front legs. A toeing out horse can
not bend and fold his knee properly.
He swings the malformed foot around
a. he trots, dexing the knee at wrong
angle and endangering the opposite
knee. Even IL inferior in other essen
tials, the horse that stands squarely
upon both front feet has a decided ad.
vantage over the horse that toes out
and will sell for more money for mar
ket use. It is true that many fast trot-
tiers and PAGERS toe out, but one would
have a serious undertaking upon his
hands were he to attempt convincing
the owners of such horses that they
would be even better as race animals
IL they stood squarely upon their front
feet.
The Idle Work Horse.
As to the feeding of idle work horses.
It would be we'll If we could dispose Of
this subject by saying there should
never be any, for this undoubtedly Is
the hardest treatment the work horse
gets-the occasional rest when kept alb.
solutely idle, tied to the manger, with
all the fodder before him he can con-
sumo. Never allow the idle horse to re.
main in the stable. but see to it he has
q pasture or yard to exercise in part Of
every day, winter and summer, Of
course materially cutting down the
amount Of grain and using more succu.
lent food. If possible.-Cor. American
Cultivator.
The Horses Hoofs.
Get hoof trimmer and keep the
horses feet in order. II neglected.
horses sometimes get lame by the hoofs
growing out too long and cracking. II
you invest dollar or little more in q
trimmer you will never regret It. It is
also important to keep the colts feet
straight. Look to the colts feet when
turning out in the spring and keep the
toes cut short.
Checkrein and Blinders.
I surely believe in humane treatment
for horses, but will not give up the
checkrein, writes a correspondent of
Farm Progress. But l want it used
right, and when used right it is ben
eft to both horse and driver. If you
want sore shoulders, all you have to do
is to take off the checkrein.
Binders should also be used with
common sense. A horse will become
quite tricky and shirk on you If worked
without binders. Yes, have tried 1t,
and if your horse does not you have "a
wonderful horse. and l would like to
see him. A horse can learn tricks ali
right.
Heavy Horses In Demand.
Heavier and yet heavier horses are
called for by reason Of the scarcity Of
farm help and the increase in the size
Of farm machinery.
CurrycOmb and Brush,
The currycomb and brush are two
articles which should be made daily
use Of in every stable. Yes, It pays,
and pays for looks alone. but zdo not

Ewes In Winter.

Ewes should be handled very care
fully through the winter. Have O
roomy shed, we'll ventilated, with plen
ty of bedding and the doors always
open until short time before lamb
ing, when they should be closed nights
Your shed should be warm If your
ewes are to lamb in the cold months
You should have pure water and salt
in the yard at all times.
