DIPPING AFFECTS
WEIGHT
By u. s. Agricultural Depart
ruent Expert.

Dipping often results in slight set
back. If sheep are weighed immedi-
ately before dipping, and again at the
same hour the following day, it will
be noticed that the weight has
changed There may be a gain, but
usually there is a loss varying from
one-half to three and half pounds.
The second day there may also be
either a gain or loss. AS the weight
of sheep varies from day to day, from
one to five pounds in loss or gain, due
chiefly to the increase or decrease Of
the amount of fodder and water in the
stomach, the effects of dipping can
not be estimated in "A or As hours. In
order to meet statements made con-
corning loss or gain in weight, the
bureau of animal industry had sheep
dipped at stated intervals and the
weights taken from week to week; all
the sheep were kept under exactly the
same conditions; the dips used were
lime and sulphur tobacco and sulphur,
and two proprietary carbolic dips.
At the end of about two months,
after three dippings all of the sheep.
showed a gain, with the exception of
one of the sheep from the carbolic
Dip which lost slightly The lowest
gain among the sheep treated with to-
bacco dip was three and one-half
pounds, the highest liz pounds. The
lowest gain with carbo1ic dip was one
and one-half pounds, the highest three
and one-third pounds, while one ami
NAL lost half a pound. The sheep were
given fourth dipping, and at the end
of another month showed the follow
ing gains and losses over their original
weight at first dipping Sheep treat
ed with tobacco, nine to Is pounds
gain; sheep treated with lime and sui
phur, 111a to IA pounds gain; sheep
treated with carbolic dip, one to six
and one-half pounds gain, in one case
1871 pounds lost
The experiment was then repeated,
the lime and sulphur being used on
sheep previously dipped in carbolic
or tobacco dips, and vice versa. After
ten days the sheep treated with lime
and sulphur had gained from two to
three pounds; the sheep treated with
tobacco had remained stationary, or
had lost from one to one and a half
pounds; the sheep treated with car
bolic dip had gained as high as one
pound, or remained stationary, or had
lost as much as two and half pounds.
At this point circumstances inter-
vened which closed the experiments
for the season.

BEEF PRODUCTION

The Nebraska Experiment, Station
has Just completed a four year test
as to the most economical ration to
be fed for beef production and has ar
iyed at the following conclusions:
Prairie hay when fed with corn
alone to fattening cattle gives small
and unsatisfactory gains and very lit
tie or no profit.
Alfalfa hay with corn alone gives
large and profitable gains.
The use of we'll cured corn-stover
with alfalfa and corn, while it may
not produce larger gains, will make
the gains less costly because of its
low market value, thereby increasing
the profits over corn and alfalfa alone.
In feeding only prairie hay as rough
ness to fattening cattle, much larger
and more profitable gains can be
made of linseed-meal or possibly some
other protein concentrate is fed with
corn in small quantity rather than
feeding corn alone.
The results of two experiments in
dictate that linseed-meal is a little
more valuable than cottOn-seed-meal
and much more valuable than wheat
bran for supplementing corn when
fed with prairie hay or corn-stover.
When alfalfa is made at least half
of the roughness with prairie hay or
,corn-stover, good gains may be made
and at less cost than when no alfal-
ia is fed, the protein being supplied
by the use of linseed meal. In other
words, it is possible to grow protein
on the farm at a price much below
what it will cost on the market in the
form of some commercial protein
food.
Corn-stover cut Immediately after
the ears ripen and cured in shocks
possesses value fully two-thirds as
great as prairie hay. The part usual
Iy consumed, viz, the leaves and up
per portion of stalk, is quite the equal
Of prairie hay pound for pound
The results of a single experiment
in which but little more than half
full feed of corn was supplied two lots
Of fattening steers suggest the posi-
bility of making larger use of hay in
finishing cattle for market than is or
dinarily made and at less cost, espec-
tally where hay is relatively low and
corn high in price.
From a commercial point of view
the results of this entire series of ex-
periments go to show that cattle feed
ing can be made profitable when dis
erection is used in the selection of
foods for the ration. On the average
farm in Nebraska where grain and
hay command figures below Lincoln
prices and where cattle are undis-
turhed by frequent weighings which
experimental feeding necessitates, the
profits can be made much greater
than those reported in this bulletin
Good feeding will make our corn
bring more as beef than when sold
direct to the elevator companies even
though the selling price of finished
cattle is not far in advance of cost
price as was true in many of these
experiments. The Importance of ma
nure and the growing of alfalfa and

CAMELs DWELT IN OREGON.
In Days of Old When the State Was a
Tropical Wilderness.


Tropical Wilderness.
That the whole of interior Oregon
was once the bed of the Pacific ocean
has been proved beyond question,
says Sunset, by the Investigations of
Prof. Thomas Condor, DR.. Diller and
other noted biologists. That the re.
gion was later tropical country has
been equally well established,
Numerous discoveries of the bones
Of these animals. and rocks containing
the perfect imprint of the plants of
the tropics, have been made, and it is
no longer an occasion for surprise
when we'll diggers or irrigation exca
vators unearth the fossil remains of a
camel or a broad-faced OK Within re-
cent years many fossil beds of beauti
full palm leaves have been found in
Eastern Oregon.
The Cascade Hills. Blue Mountains
and Owyhees, once islands surround
ed by tropical lakes, were covered
with luxuriant growth, forests and
Towering shrubs, for Knowlton tells
us the magnolia and cinnamon and
fig trees were there.
To-day the soil presents a finely
ground mixture of basalt and volcanic
ash, containing the elements of most
fertile soil, and when properly watered
producing enormous crops of vegeta-
bles, fruits and grains common to en-
perate zones. The climate has been
changed, says Prof. Condor, by the
unfolding of the Cascade range, shut
ting off from the interior the softening
influence of the Japan current and the
drift of ocean fogs and clouds.

house with little garden in front
of it,
At the gate of the garden stood a
young man and young woman. They
were lovers, and their hands were
clasped in a tender farewell
The figure of the young man in the
dim light reminded her of Frank Allis-
ter.
She knew that it was not he, and yet
a sharp pang of jealousy came into her
heart. Had she deceived herself all
this time? Was it possible that she
thought terrified her
mo, no." she gasped; mot that
not that"
She turned and retraced her steps
quickly, and went back into the busy
highway At the stationer's she
bought some things she wanted and
purchased-as was her custom on Sat
urday night-a weekly paper. She only
saw the daily papers now and then,
and so she made it practice to take
a weekly one, in order to read the
news in a complete form.
When she got back to The Winery
TUNA had laid her supper. She sat
down to it, and, not wanting to think
over her dilemma more than she could
help, she opened the weekly paper and
began to read it.
Suddenly she uttered cry and the
paper fell from her grasp. There, in
print that danced before her eyes, was
an account of the successful escape of
a convict from Dartmoor.
And the name of the convict was
John Wilson.
He had been at large for several
days, and all hope of his recapture had
been abandoned by the authorities.
