The process Of taking up the food

is termed assimilation. This IL one
OF the all important considerations Ia
selecting dairy cows and Is probably
enc OF the chief differences between
dairy cows and those bred for other
purposes. This is indicated also by

dairy form IL inclined toward the
wedge shape; that is, from whatever
point Of view the observer looks at
the COW, the form which meets his
eye is that mors nearly conforming
to the shape Of wedge rather than
the shape Of a rectangle. In most
considerations, in fact, the dairy COW
differs extremely from the beef COW.
In selecting a dairy COW we should
bear in mind that there are five dis
tinct functions that must be given
due consideration, that are absolutely
necessary II the cow be useful on the
farm.
Five Requirements Of the Dairy Cow.
In the first place, Of course, she
must live and in order to live under
the conditions Of environment in
which most dairy cows are situated,
namely. to be stabbed for six or eight
months out Of a year. and oftentimes
IN barns which are none too well
lighted or ventilated, the COW must
have a good constitution. Constitu-
t,on is indicated by large, distended
nostrIl. bright eye and great depth
through the chest and heart girth.
Secondly, she must have large feed
ing capacity. The only use to which
a dairy COW Is put ls to convert the
feed which she consumes into milk
and butter fat If she does not have
the power of consuming a large
amount of feed she will not have the
uower Of producing large amount Of
milk. Given two cows, one Of which
has the capacity of consuming twice
as much food as the other and con-
yerting an equal percentage Of the
foodstuff consumed into milk and but
ter fat. II can be easily seen one COW
is worth more than two Of the other.
Those things which indicate large
feeding capacity are large mouth
and a deep, long barrel with
well sprung ribs that are far apart.
This indicates largeness Of capacity,
but more is necessary; the digestive
apparatus must be powerful and this
Is indicated BY the quality Of the hide
and hair found by the touch. II the
hide is hard and stiR and the hair
harsh and wiry, It Is an indication Of
weakness Of digestive apparatus. On
the other hand. II the hide is soft and
pliabIe, much Ike a lid glove, and
the hair soft and silky, the indica.
ton Is that there Is sufficient power
Of digestive apparatus to handle The
feed which Il stored in the great ca
pacIty ln q short time, and the COW d

Many who start in the dairy busi-
ness with dairy cattle begin at once
with pure bred cows of one or the
other dairy breeds. There are dis
tinct advantages in using pure bred
dairy animals In that there is always
q ready market for the offspring.
Again, in starting the herd with pure
breds the farmer or dairyman can
better acquaint himself with the indi-
vidual merits of the cows by giving
due study to the pedigrees which II
lustrate their breeding. The only OBJ
lection to starting with pure breds 10
the matter of first cost, and as q rule
there is not q great difference in the
cost Of cows that are pure bred and
those Of nearly the same individual
character that are only grades. From
the standpoint Of milk and butter-fat
production there is no doubt but that
there are grades that produce equally
well, but from the standpoint Of build
ing UP the herd in such a way that q
demand is created for the offspring
It is necessary that the COWS be pure
bred and that we have pedigrees and
registry papers. AS a rule It is more
advisable and less expensive for the
beginner in dairying to get his infor'
nation and education from grade COWS
which cost less money. Later, or
perhaps at the same time, 1t is ad-
visable to buy one or two or three
extra good pure bred heifers or cows
and from them build up a pure bred
dairy herd while depending upon the
grades to furnish the dairy products.
One cannot be too careful at this
stage as much of his success rests
upon the foundation herd. II grades
are purchased they should be of the
best character, and although not pure
in their breeding, they should be well
bred. They should be selected for
the specific purpose Of producing
dairy products. Experience has taught
that with the dairy function Is to be
found a certain form. The typical

MI UAL PHONE
SiSTEM PLANNED
COUNCIL VOTES FOR FRANCHISE
Merchants Association Will Have Special
Meeting to Discuss Telephone
Situation.

AS a result of the raise in the tele-
phone rates of the Home Telephone
company July there has been consider
able doing in the way of opposition to
the company during the past week.
f. H. Stow, a Portland man, who
owns ranch on the west side has
started movement for mutual tele-
phone company ana an ordinance
granting him a franchise was passed
first reading by the council Tuesday
evening. Talk is heard of other parties
who consider putting in system to
give Hood River relief from the high
rates and meeting has been called of
the Merchants Association and all
parties interested to be held in the
Commercial Club rooms Friday even
ing to discuss the telephone situation.
The ordinance which received the
first Endorsement of the city fathers
grants 30 year franchise and pro-
vides that the same must be assigned
by f. ii. Stow to a mutual company to
be owned by actual phone users. Mr..
Stow, who is himself an experienced
telephone man, has retained w. Har-
dinger, ex-manager of the Home Tele-
help launch the mutual company. Mr..
Stow was formerly in the employ of
the Bell company in Ohio, later being
connected with the Columbia and
Home companies in Portland. Ac-
cording to the estimates made by Mr..
Hardinger the mutual company could
install a system of 800 to 1000 phones
with capital of $75 per phone. The
operation Of the company on mu-
tai basis would probably average about
rs cents per month per phone.
At the request of the people of the
valley special meeting of the Mer
chants Association has been called for
Friday evening at which times repre-
from the oranges and diff
erent sections Of the valley will be
present to talk over the phone sltua-
ton with the business men. All par
ties interested are urged by the organ
ization to be present.
In spite of the various movements on
foot the attitude of the company does
not seem to change on the matter.
Acting Manager E 0. Hall stated
yesterday that so far only 20 phones
had been lost on account of the in
creased rates ard JAat others were be-
ing installed rlgat along so that the
net loss did not Mount TO that much.
lie said that tAsre were over 1900
phones in service. The loss was not
as great as was anticipated. The
Home company was organized few
years ago to get good service and the
Bell interests were driven from the
field. The stock u still ali one locally,
but the control Of the company has
been gained by the Halls and with the
raise of rates under their management
is for the purpose, they say, of putting
the company on profitable basis.
Dividends have never been declared on
the stock of the company to get them
the management asserts the raise
is npcnSnSrN.

Thinks Hood River Easy"

A letter was received here last week
from a man who has recently gone to
Roseburg after spending several
months in Hood River
In commenting on the raise in the
telephone rate here, notice of which
had seen in the Glacier, he was of the
opinion that the Hood River people
were rather foolish to stand for the
increase in rates and had the following
to say of the phone situation IN Rose
burg: "The telephone company is
building a new all cable central energy
system here. They expect to cut over
next Sunday. For certain kiads Of
service they are actually of their own
free will and accord going to reduce
some of the rates The business rate
is now So. SO which is $Y a yes, bet
ter than your rate. You fellows are
pretty easy anyway.

HOOD RIVER HAS
SAFE AND SANE 4TH

The Fourth of July is over and the
celebrations in which Hood River was
interested all went off successfully
with big crowds and good times. The
city of Hood River was practically
deserted during the entire day and all
the business houses were closed. Dur
ing the afternoon a few of the stay
at-homes gathered down town to get
news of the outcome of the big prize
fight at Reno. "Bill'', the Hotel Ore
gon porter, who made up Hood Rivers
negro population until Saturday, had
left town and there was no celebrat-
ing here as a result of the big fight.
A few of the village sports had wag-
cred small amounts on the scrap, but
little money changed hands in Hood
River.
Most of the Hood River people either
attended the celebrations at Parkdale,
Grange Park and The Dalles or formed
picnic and fishing parties for a day
in the mountains. The people of the
valley as we'll as the town joined in
these excursions and most of the ranch
places were deserted. The local
officers kept a sane Fourth and there
was very little shooting and noise IN
town. In the evening many of the
valley people had fireworks and the
country was frequently blazed with
rockets AS natural adjunct to the
celebration of the Nations birthday
with fireworks there was light vis-
ible in the north between nine and ten
O'Clock in the evening which though
not very male in WAS DrOhahlV An eX-
hibition of the, aurora borealis or

Hood River on rather rare occasions.
At Parkdale the celebration was
pulled off according to program with a
crowd which numbered nearly 1000
people. The Mt. Hood railroad gave
good service running train of six
cars for the accommodation of the
large crowd from the lower valley and
city WHICH enjoyed the upper valley
exercises. The West Side Amateur
Band went along and furnished band

music for the enjoyment of the
gathered mutlitudes in the park which
has made west of the school house in
the new upper valley town. The day
was one of pleasure and was complete
| with dance in the evening when New
mans orchestra furnished excellent
music.
Rev. W. l.. Van Nuys was the
speaker of the day and made stirring
patriotic address. The whole crowd
sang patriotic songs and the upper
valley seXette sang a number of songs
during the day. The members of the
sexette were John Goldsbury, Dean
Twelves, Charles Moody, Kingsley R.
MacGuffey, Rae E. Babson and Fred
Mark. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence was read by Fred Mark. he
young ladies of the upper vail y
country were out in force and had a
number of booths where they sold good
things to eat and drink. In the after
noon the athletic contests were tie
principal part of the exercises and cor
siderable strength as shown by, the
winners of the blue ribbons.
In the tug ouf war Parkdale Won
against all corners. Roy Sutton q d
Elan Snyder ran a dead heat in c
potato race. w. H. Tobey and Fra k
Hutson took first and second places
in the running high jump. Roy SUIT
ton, and Joe Ingram got the secotd
prizes IN the sack race and Esther
Wishart and Eva Miller ran a dea
heat in the rs yard race for girls.
Mrs. Palmer won first place and Mrs.
D. H. Crusp took second in the nail
driving contets for married ladies.
The Park Grange Park celebration
was a big success and large crowds
gathered at the west side park to
enjoy the day. So many of the auto
mobile owners of the valley taken
their cars on long excursion that the
auto parade to the park was not as
large as had been hoped for and was
interrupted by thesbreak down of the
machine of Grand Marshall Brosius
before the park was reached. G. II.
Robbins and Attorneys Smith and
Jayne were on the program for brief
actresses and music was part uf the
celebration. In the afternoon, A. c.
Staten gave talk on 'Why We Cele-
brate" and in the course of his re-
marks he made an appeal to the listen
ers to aid in saving the park which is
mortgaged and which has been carried
along with considerable difficulty by
the men who have been its financial
| hackers.
A large number of Hood River peo-
pie went to The Dalles for the celebra-
tion in that city. The steamboat ex-
cursion which. was managed by the
band boys was success in every way.
The boys made money on the trip and
the patrons of the excursion had fine
trip on the river which as in ideal con-
dition for boat ride. Going up in the
morning there were more than the 300
which the Dalles City could carry and
an overflow party was taken up on the
Simons. The band played on the boat
and the trip back on the Teal was
pleasant. The Hood River hose team
won second place in the wet contest
and the local ball team won from The
Dalles in the base ball game.
