Buying Good
Beef Cattle.

More than one-half the secret in sue
cessful beef production is contained in
the two words "buy right" says ]. c.
Mclean of the Iowa experiment sta
ton. OF course that means at the
right price and that exorbitant prices
cannot be paid if any balance Of profit
is to remain with the farmer at the
end of the transaction. But it means
q great deal more. 1t means that he
must buy the right kind of stock. And
here is almost the whole secret. If
man buys the right kind of feeder cat
tie, he very seldom pays price which
loses him money, but if he does not
buy the right kind of cattle they are
losing proposition at any price.
The right kind of feeder cattle are
strong in constitution, with a pro-
nounced beef form, and bear all the
evidences of quality. The feeder must
be thrifty. he must always be ready
for his two meals a day and Il little
more, he must show vigor. and the
only way in which you can pick out
these qualities in your prospective pur-
chase is by the depth and thickness of
his chest, the lowness of his flank and
his general vigorous expression as seen
in the eye, the hair and the manner.
Neither can you put valuable flesh on
a dairy form. A peaked shoulder, slab
sides, Il thin loin and a prominent
sharp ruInp and tail head are all dan
ger signals to the buyer of feeders.
A feeder must be deep bodied thick
chested, wide sprung in his ribs, wide

Feeding the Milk Maker.

The we'll bred youngster that is i'm
properly fed will at maturity be but
little better than scrub animal. But
if the dam is properly nourished dur
ing the nursing period and the young
animal subsequently fed literally 1t
will attain the normal size of its an
cestors and display all the leading
characteristics of the breed to which it
belongs.
A New Workers. Plan.
J, S. Woodward, the New YOSA
dairyman, has no set way of feeding
1t depends upon the cost of feedstuHs
in the markets, he says. Sometimes l
can buy bran cheaply, sometimes cot
tonseed meal. l watch the market, buy
those feeds that contain the elements
l want ans then make up q ration.
Last year l bought carload of dried
distillers' (not brewersD grains. This
food contains large percentage of
protein, is very .digestible and is cheap.
Keep the Feed Up.
Some men start out in the fall with
excellent feeding rations, says Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. They bring the
cows in from the pasture and give
them a variety and quality of feed
which cannot help but produce good
milk. These conditions last until the
feed bins begin to get low, then por-
tions of the ration are cut out, and the
feeds begin to get smaller. By the time
the holidays are past the bottoms of
some of the bins are in sight These
men think that economy in feeding
means cutting the feed bill down. TIC
an extent this Is true, but economy OF
production and scant feeding never &C
hand in hand. Start well in the fall
/ and keep the ration up until the cows
are on the pasture next spring. If you
! must buy, buy. If your cows are good
+ ones you cannot afford to pinch then
through the winter simply to save g
few dollars. You will lose on this
! years milk and on the flow Of future
years. This is especially true If the
cows are young. 1t would be better Il
keep fewer cows and to keep then
right than to try to winter more thar
you can feed properly.
| The Need of Salt.
When animals are heavily fed or
grain, as in fattening, milk or energy
production, a certain excess of salt i:
called for because grains are usual!

in constituents that stimulate the eX

HARROW IN POSITION.

cuts all the top and does not pull up
trash. Each beam is attached to the
pulling bar with a hook and drop link.
Through the middle is an inch rod put
through thimbles, one being slipped
over each beam. This makes the har-
row flexible. By withdrawing the inch
rod and unlocking from the pulling
bar it can be sheltered IN very small
space. A boy can handle it. The har-
row is very easy to draw. The beams,
being near the ground, act as Jewelers.,
while the teeth cover and stir the
ground thoroughly.

A runaway horse with post tied toa
hitching strap and beating the animal on
the heels at every jump was an exciting
spectacle on Main street, about $50
Tuesday evening. The animal was one
Of J. G. Hammel's high-Spirite drivers
aud it pulled up the post to which it was
tied in the rear OF Hotel Corvallis, and
escaped down the street. The frightened
creature soon had the strap between its
legs, which caused the post to drag on Its
heels, and the horse tore down Main
str ct with the post striking blow
every time the animal jumped. At the
R. NJ. Wade hardware store the almost
maddened brute went onto the sidewalk
and for two blocks never left it. No one
had the hardihood to attempt the capture
OF the animal, but someone telephone
to Mr.. Metcalf, residing mile south OF
town, and it seems that he succeeded IN
heading the horse into the barn lot at his
ranch The runaway was one of the
most sensational as we'll as one of the
most dangerous to pedestrians, that has
ever been seen in Corvallis.
When the May has culled her flowers,
for the Summer waiting long,
And the breath of early roses woos the
hedges into song,
Comes the throb of martial music and
the banners in the street
And the marching of the millions bear
ing garlands fair and sweet;
'Tis the Sabbath OF the Nation, tits the
! floral feast of May!
In remembrance OF our heroes

Switch Engine and Passenger
Train Come Together
No One Is Hurt But Both Locomo
tives Are Out of Commission
for Awhile.
PASSENGER COACH DAMAGED

the binding snow and escaping
steam from engines caused head
end collision of passenger train and
switch engine in the Illinois Central
yards yesterday afternoon shortly
after o'clock, ami as result two
engines are out of commission. A
passenger coach was slightly damag-
ed, but no one was injured.
Switch engine, No. 1872, Engine
man Cundiff and Foreman John
Lehnnard was pulling passenger
train, No. 374, to the transfer boat
from the passenger depot. The train
was delayed by connections with the
incoming Louisyille-Fulton accom-
mediation train, and it was long past
its accustomed time to enter the
boat yards. This probably accounted
in a measure for the collision.
Switch engine No. 1919. Engineer
A. w. Shepherd and Fireman Shoe
maker, was coming out of spur track,
No. 8, near Trimble street. The snow
was blowing in every direction, and
it was impossible to see more than
an engines length ahead. Escaping
steam from both engines aided in OBJ
structing the view, and with crash
the two came together.
Each engineer stuck to his post
and reversed when he saw the other
nalf a car length ahead. Passengers
in the coaches were Jared little,
but none was seriously bruised. An
other engine was secured to put the
train on the boat and after a delay
of half an hour the passengers were
sent across the river. ~
This morning both engines are in
the round house for irepairs. The end
sills we're badly broken and 1t will
require a day or two to put them in
to shape again. The accident was not
the result of carelessness, but unfor-
tunate circumstances.
