BLOODED SHEEP MOVING.
Big Shipment Sent From Willamette
Valley to Colorado.

Albany - Twenty-six hundred and
fifty Cotswold bucks were shipped
from Albany last week to the Colorado
market. They filled 26 single deck
cars and a special train was made up
here to transport them. 1t is probably
the largest shipment of single variety
of sheep every made from this state.
The sheep were gathered from differ
ent points in the Willamette valley by
B. j. Hecker, a local stockman. About
1000 were secured in the vicinity of
Albany and the remaining were gath
cred from the vicinity of McMinnville
and other points on the west side.
Hecker and three assistants accom-
panied the sheep train to Denver.
There is big demand in Colorado for
blooded Oregon Cotswold bucks and
the animals will be sold largely for
breeding purposes.

A S THE cool days approach, women
a are turning their attention to the
fall wardrobe, and an important
ITEM is the afternoon gown of cloth
Or crepe de chine. The new silk cash
meres are faVorite material, and the
smart models are all showing hand
embroidery in a matching tone. 1t is
these bits of handiwork that give the
cachet to a gown and distinguish it
from the more ordinary run of frocks.
1t is hand work, too, which sends the
price Of gown soaring into the
clouds. Fortunate, indeed, is the
woman who can make her own gown
and do the bit of embroidery which
sets it off so we'll.
To-day we are giving an effective
and simple design from the Greek,
which may be applied to a frock of
one of the new tones of silk cashmere.
The half-tones-the dull blues, grays
and violets, are all good, and a new
shade, mahogany red, is very fashion
able.
To apply the design to the cloth,
lay it on a hard board and use hard,
sharp pencil. For light colors use
carbon paper between the material
and the design, and for dark use a
marking board or a piece of unglazed
white paper, covered thickly with
French or tailor's chalk. In working
be careful that the marks do not get
rubbed off.
The embroidery is simple to do and
very rapid, as the silks used are
coarse. The outline of the square is
done in plain outline stitch and the
little border on the long side with
fiat dots, while the stitch between the
dots is taken on the right side. The
rest of the embroidery is solid satin
stitch, with padding under the long
leaf-shaped pieces. Use the heavy
Flo embroidery silk.

old red silk cashmere, with the en-
broidery in a matching tone, and the

SOME POINTS
FOR FEEDERS
Feeding Operations Generally
Started in Fall or Early
W1nter-Th4n9s to
Remember.

Many feeders, but more especially
the beginner in the business. are apt
to make mistakes when putting a
fresh bunch of cattle on feed. AS a
general thing the feeding operations
are started in the late fall or early
winter and one of the main things to
remember is to start the cattle upon
their grain ration gradually. It must
not be forgotten that for II any months
previous they have been on pasture
and their ration has consisted largely
of green succulent food. If they are
taken from pasture and put at once
upon a ration of rich, dry feed, the
shock upon the digestive system will
often result disastrousIy Even
though the steer has large diges-
tive tract, it stands without question
that 1t requires different functions to
digest green grass than to digest corn
or corn meal. and to get the best re-
suits from either kind of feed the
change from one to the other must be
gradual. A common method of chan
cling to the grain ration is to commence
throwing a little corn fodder. with the
ears remaining. into the pasture. In
this manner the steers viii acquire
