PAYS TO RAISE GOOD HORSES
Grade Stations Cheaper to Use, But
Pure Bred Colts Sold for Twice
as Much Money.

Fifty-five dollars is good interest for
the use of 81 for year. And when
the feed of colt for another year is
saved the proposition is all the more
attractive.
A stock farmer living In the south
east part of the state has been rearing
number of colts every year, using
the services of grade stallion.
This horseman wasn't very enthusi.
astic about paying larger fee for the
service of a pure-bred stallion. He
had been using grade and inferior
sires with O fair degree of success.
He saw no reason for changing.
In the season of 1910 he decided to
try good pure-bred stallion just once,
to see II 1t was worth the difference In
the service fees.
The second week in this month this
stockman held a sale. The three
year-old colts, sired by grade stall
lion, sold at an average Of $76. The
two-year-old colts. the progeny OF an
other grade sire, brought an average
Of $48. The weaving colts, sired by a
pure-bred stallion, sold at an average
Of $101.
The service fee Of the pure-bred
stallion was $15, that Of the grade So,
q difference of 81. The feed eaten by
the older colts was saved, and $5t
more was received for the weanlingf
than the two-year-olds, and $25 mor<
than the three-year-olds.

PLANTING THE GARDEN EARLY
Where Season is Late and Rainy 'so'
Advisable to Get Seeds INTO
Ground Too Soon.

II is not always advantageous -
plant the garden as early as poss,pie'
Under certain conditions nature mas
tens the growth of late planted seeos
40 that the difference In time OF tneir
ripening will not accord with tne ah-
ference in paintings. This Is partic-
ularly the case when the season ls
late and rainy.
Plant for a succession OF. the diI-
ierent vegetables A garden In whicn
most of the planting is done at about
the same time will not give as good
results as where a period OF time
elapses between the second. third OF
fourth paintings of the same vege-
tables. Particularly Is this true OF
peas, says the Farm and Home. Where
q number Of different varieties were
tried the best results were obtained
from one or two varieties planted In
succession.
In sweet corn, however, this was
not so apparent. 1t was found best
10 rely on several varieties as well az
successive paintings. If the season
was backward or the paintings made
early, sweet corn seemed to
be- very slow in growth. On the other
hand, the corn planted later would
grow very fast under favorable con-
iitions and almost catch up with the
first paintings. To overcome this DIFF
aculty 1t was found advisable to rely
On the paintings of different varieties.

plos Fat.en on Rape.

Pigs In clover are popularity sup
posed to be in the ideal animal en-
vironment. but the cold facts, devel-
oped by experiment. show that pigs in
rape do better, says the Farm Press.
In O Wisconsin experiment, 81 pigs
fed on rape for eight weeks gained 81
pounds more weight than the same
number fed on clover for the same
time.
II is q mistake to assume. however,
that rape alone makes an ideal food
for gain. They must have some grain,
Fed on rape or clover alone pigs viii
do better on clover.
Rape should be fed by means of
moving fences. in order that the pigs
may not trample the field too much.
Clover has to be pastured or 1t will
quickly become dry and woody. and,
therefore. without proper nutrition,
With ordinary rainfall rape provides
constant pasturage.

Wet or Dry Feeding.

Many poultrymen now grind part OF
their chicken feed into meal so that
It can be fed either wet or dry in
the form OF mush. It has been found
that in forcing chickens for quick
growth or egg producing. feeding a
portion Of ground feed is great help.
Part Of the work of digestion has
been accomplished by the artificial
grinding and the hen so fed can use
the energy thus saved for something
else. That is the real advantage of
feeding ground grain.
The general consensus Of opinion
at the present time is that the dry
mash is more desirable than wet
Many practical poultrymen, however.
still prefer the wet mash.

all dirt and litter taken out, and then
scrubbed. Eating troughs and drink
ing basins must receive the same
treatment. Formaldehyde is good only
in tight house. Lime spray may be
used; 100 pounds of fresh lime may be
slaked with 60 pounds of water, and
mixed thoroughly. For use one quart
Of the above slaked lime should be
added to four quarts of water. This
should be stirred thoroughly and
sieved. 1t should be used Immediately
as spray and every crack must be
covered. The runs must be plowed up
and turned under in order that the
germs may be placed below the ground
where they may be expected in time
to die out.
In case the Oregon farmer fears
the disease in the flock and does not
trust his own diagnosis after cutting
up the bird, he can take out the in
ternal organs, place them in denatured
alcohol, and forward to the department
of bacteriology, Agricultural College,
where the diagnosis will be made free.

Ralslnn the Colts ProperlY.

Most of the colts on the farm get a
good start the first six months of
their lives from the fact that they are
allowed to suckle the dams during
that time. Early fall provides them
with good pasture and possibly they
have been receiving some oats or
shared part of the feed Of the mare.
Such treatment puts them In good
shape for the winter. but liberal feed
ing must be kept up II a strong. we'll
developed and matured horse is ex-
pected. The colts system required
amount Of bone and mus
Gle building material. and this can be
had by feeding nitrogenous feeds,
such as oats, little clover hay.
The feeding of corn, so often prac-
ticed. is not desirable for the growing
colt, but had better be confined to
the matured horses. Access to the
straw pile will not hurt growing colt,
but It should not be compelled to rely
on the straw pile for livelihood.

PlNAFoRE WAS TOO POPULAR
Once Everybody Sang or Played 10
or Made Continued Use Of its
Catch Phrases.

There was a. time when the vogue
OF "Pinafore" was simply amazing.
1t was not copyrighted and after its
success In London 1t was pirated in
the United States This piracy was
the initial cause of Gilbert's hatred
OF America and Americans.
However, II America did not send
him its dollars, 1t was quite ready to
spread his fame, says the Bookman.
Church choirs added "Pinafore" to
their repertoires, and 1t is recorded
that 100000 barrel organs were con-
structed to play nothing else. Here
is an ironical note from newspaper
Of the time:
."At present there are ~ companies
playing 'Pinafore.' Companies formed
after p. m. yesterday are not In
cluded."
Its catch phrase, what, neverf
Well. hardly everl" was deadly. It 10

barred his STAFF from using It
1T occurred 20 times In as many
articles yesterday. Never let me see
1t used again." What, never7" was
the unanimous question. well. hard
ly ever" replied the wretched man.
The readiness of w. s. Gilbert's
wit Is we'll illustrated by this story
told Of him. He and F. G. Burnand.
the editor of Punch. were guests at
the same dinner table where a wise
host placed the rival humorists at op-
posite ends Of the room in the hope
Of distributing equally the witty table
talk.
Continual shouts Of laughter rose
from Gilbert's corner until Burnard,
after Intellectual attempts to arouse
similar jocularity in his Immediate
circle and unable to conceal his cha
grin, leaned forward and said in his
most sarcastic manner:
II suppose Mr.. Gilbert IL telling
some of those funny stories which h.
occasionally sends to Punch bu
which don't appear"
To which Gilbert dryly replied: 'T
don't know who sends the funny sto
ries to Punch. but it's very true they
don't appear"

This Is part of an investigation he
is making of poultry conditions on the
Pacific Coast, in college and on pri-

"that the Pacific Northwest should
soon be shipping out larger quantities
of poultry and eggs than are now being
brought in from the East. Few states

this is to take q cupful Of fine salt

are SO perishable that grocers will not

should not be bought unless to be

The same kind of cheese may be

popular cream cheese, probably more
used than any other one make. II you
