Good Cows Well Kept.

There should be nothing spasmodic
about the keeping Of cow. 1T pas
ture-at full pasture-all her needs are
supplied, and when the pasture falls
either in quality or quantity, and the
earth Is parched "and the grasshopper
is a burden" and when the nights and
then the days turn cold the needs OF
the COW for full nutritious feeds re-
main the same as when she did so
well in the first flush pasture.
II we would not forget that the COW
makes the milk from her feed and
come into the clear understanding OF
the organic fact that milk making Is
q normal operation Of the properly
nourished functions of the COW we
would have more good cows well kept.

A Nasty Trick.

t.An amusing but nasty trick was
played in the early autumn at George
". Vanderbilt's Biltmore estate near
Asheville," said a Pittsburg florist.
"a friend of mine, one of the Bit
more gardeners, wrote and told me
about it the other day.
1T seems that at the entrance to
Biltmore there was sign that read,
Please do not pluck the flowers
without leave
ttWell, one visitors day, some
Joker added an s. to the signs last
word. As a result, every visitor left
Biltmore that day with a delighted
smile and an enormous bouquet.

H Is a Good Umbrella.

II was q sound, substantial umbrella,
with a CHEEKY wood stick. We found
it hanging on a peg in the corner OF
our room in the hotel at Bruges (writes
"P."). Such an umbrella could belong
to none but an Englishman, and 1t at
once occurred to US that it had been
left behind by some former passing
visitant. The umbrella was partcu-
larly interesting to me because had
foolishly come away from England
without one. l eyed that umbrella as
a small boy eyes forbidden orchard.
The next morning threatened rain. and
could not resist taking the umbrella
tentatively from its peg. unrolling 1t
and displaying its comfortable tent
like proportions. put it back on
the peg with sigh and nobly went
out unprotected. During the stay in
Bruges my eyes and thoughts return
ed to the umbrella with strong fascl-
nation. and on the morning OF leaV-
ing the temptation was still more
acute. The angels Of light and DARK
ness struggled within me, but the good
one triumphed, and we went to the
station without the umbrella. We left
our luggage in the hotel to be brought
to US at the station by the boots. Inc

year ago James Wood Of Westchester
county, N. Y, and DR.. ]. Chetson Nor
ris Of Westchester, Pa, after making
careful tests Of the milk Of the dairy
breeds selected the Devons for their
dairies. They found the Devon milk
superior to all other for the production
of a perfectly balanced milk for city
consumption and obtained the highest
prices. Some years ago a celebrated
chemist reported milk from the Devon
to be the best milk to raise babies on,
as it had more sugar in it and nearer
the milk of the baby's mother.
Resistant to Ticks.
There are three breeds Of cattle that
promise to be valuable to the growers
of beef In the south that seem to
stand the ticks better than the true
beef breeds. They suffer from the ticks
as do dairy cattle, but actual losses are
rare. These breeds are the Ayrshire,
the Devons and the Red Polls. have
seen cattle of all these breeds in Ten
nessee, Georgia, North Carolina and
Alabama, and they seemed to be thriV'
ing well with ticks on them. OF course
they were not as fat as cattle should
be, but they looked to be good enough
to try. The three breeds are IN that
class that is recognized as dual pur-
pose. Often the COWS are very strong
mixers, and there is fair beef con-
formation. OF these the Ayrshire Is
somewhat the toughest breed and not
large. The Devons are beautiful cat

horns. They are small, but quite good
in beef type and very hardy.

In His Memory.

Fred S. Tomlison, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Tomlinson OF
Northern Benton, died at his
home in Albany Jan. 27th 1907,
at 6 o'clock a. m, after six
weeks illness with typhoid fever.
The funeral occurred from the
Baptist church in Albany Mon
day afternoon at 1890, Rev. F.
A. Douglas conducting the ser
vices. Services at the grave
we're conducted by the K. of P.
lodge and interment was in the
city cemetery. The floral pieces
were exceedingly beautiful.
They were from the K. of P. and
United Artisan lodges of which
deceased was a mem Der.
Fred Tomlison was a fine
specimen of young manhood and
was native son of Benton coun-
tv. He was born on the farm
near Wells May 28, 1875. Here
he grew to manhood and was
popular with all who knew him.
He was married to Miss Emma
Hecker of Wells, in st. Francis
church, Portland, December 27,
1921. After spending a few
months in Portland the young
couple returned to Albany where
they have since made their home.
During his illness Mr.. Tomb
son suffered great agony and dur
ing the last days was delirious
most of the time. In conscious
moments he recognized those at
the bedside, and the evening be-
fore his passing he called his
wife to his side and sang f ebly,
"Joy Coneth in the Morning.
and repeated his childhood pray
er, learned at his mcther's knee,
"Now l lay me down to sleep"
And in the morning Joy had
come to Fred S Tomlison, and
earth with all its pain and sorrow
had faded away forever.
The immediate survivors are
the widow, the father and moth
er, and three brothers, James and
Will, OF Linn county, and Clyde
4omlison who resides with his
parents near Wells.

Suggestion for Farmers.

In these days of rural routes
and free delivery of mail, every
one should name their farm or
home where they live, so that
there would be some distinctive
feature about it that would make
it different place from others,
wisely declares an exchange, and
it is right.
Get out of the old rut that "a.l
farms look alike to me-" and
take a stand for yourself. Make
the home something more than
an abiding place, SO that when
the stranger passes that way he
will have something by which he
may distinguish your home .rom
that of Mr.. Blanks across the
road. He will forget your name
but if your home nas a name
pleasing to him he will remember
1t a long time. After you have
named the farm then get you
some stationery printed with the
name of the farm at the head and
you will fad that there is an in
| ldivlduality about it that you
have never dreamed of and tha,
you would not part with for
worlds. Think what a difference
there would be between calling
your home Cedarwild, Wood.
mere, The Firs, or whatever
name you should decide or
than calling it Jones' ranch
Browns place or Blanks farm
Don't you think you would take
greater pride in your home, ever
if you only had a small patch c
ground back on the hills, if yor
were speaking to a stranger and
could tell of your home, 9Th.
Ferns" than if you were to tel

Will Announce His Decision.

Rev. J. r. N. Bell will announce from
the First Presbyterian pulpit next Sun
day whether or not he will accept a
unanimous call extended him by the con-
gregation last Sunday evening. The call
was unexpected to him, and it is evident
that at least one year of his work will
have to be modified in order to enable
him to accept at all. For forty years he
has been constantly busy with pulpit
and pen advancing matters religious and
educational, and conference probably
with Mrs. Bell will determine whether
or not he will assume pastoral duties at
all, in Corvallis or elsewhere.
Under the caves of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College it is imperative that
there should be provided for all the
churches the best pulpiteers in Oregon.
IF measured by the growth of his con-
glegstion throughout a career of four
decades, the selection of Mr.. Bell can be
no mistake.
Whether or not he will accept the call
remains to BIZ seen, but one thing is GER
tain; he will preach next Sunday morn
ing and evening at the Presbyterian
church.

through Corvallis the first of the
week tor his home after a two
weeks stay in the vicinity of Sea-
side where he was occupied in
searching for the body of his son,
Abe Crosno, who disappeared
rather suddenly. Mr.. Crosno has
had searching party out ever
since patrolliug the beach near
Seaside, and hunting through
the brush in that vicinity, but
says that no trace of any kind
was obtained. Mr.. Crosno says
that the report which. was circu-
lated that his son was seen in
toxicated shortly before his dis
appearance has been found to be
untrue. The missing man was
just recovering from severe at.
tack of the grippe and being
weakened by the illness Mr..
Crosno thinks he might have
wandered off into the woods and
become lost, fually perishing
from the cold weather which was
then prevailing. Another theory
is that Crosno was drowned. Mr..
Cronso will return to Seaside in
a few days and resume the search
for his sons body.
