buyers be expected to pay the same
price for the lot?" he inquired.
"The most profitable thing to do is
to study the market and produce just
that demand The fat stuff should be
cut and made up into carload lots, and
shipped on the days, two each week in
Eastern Oregon, when cattle trains
pass. Two carloads are best, as then
transportation is issued for the return
trip. This will guarantee quick ship
ments, which means money, as shrink
age takes place faster the longer the
journey. If the grower hasn't enough
to make two carloads he can generally
find neighbor to go in with.
Professor Potter thinks that it is
more profitable for the growers to
ship.

Topping Herds May Be
Done by Grower,

Growers of beef cattle may escape
the disappointment of having their
herds topped, by making the classifi-
cation themselves, and then offering
only what the buyer wants, thinks
Porf. E. l.. Potter, animal husbandry-
man of the Oregon Agricultural COL
lege. Buyers are operating under or
ders from their employers to get only
a certain grade that is wanted for the
trade at that time, and must comply.
when you enter a grocery and ask
for certain grade Of coffee" says
Professor Potter, "you are not offered
a mixed lot of fifty cent and thirty.
five cent and twenty cent grades, and
urged to take it. The salesman tries
to sell you exactly what you want. If
you want fifty cent brand and take
no other you are not condemning the
other two brands. They are all right
for the purpuse intended but you do
not want them.
"Now, that is precisely the situa-
tion in which the buyer finds himself.

SilOs in Washington.

The extension department of the
State college at Pullman has received
reports on more than sixty silos in the
state, the figures being furnished by
the silo owners. Some have furnished
definite data while others could only
give estimates. The reports will be
tabulated in complete form. While
they can not be considered absolutely
accurate, as figures from silo owners
they serve as valuable guide. In
cluded are At stave, 8 hoop, con-
crete, 2 brick, l Gurler, and several
square silos. The square silos are not
considered in the statements below.
Of the stave silos 40 are home made
and factory built. Factories have
only recently entered the field.
In western Washington the average
cost of stave silos reported was 1920
per ton capacity. Of those exceeding
45 tons capacity, average cost $1.69
per ton capacity. Of those less than
45 tons capacity, average cost $2.98
per ton capacity.
In eastern Washington the average
cost OF stave silos reported was 1925
per ton capacity.
Of those exceeding 45 tons capacity,
average cost was $2.OS per ton capa-
city.
OF those less than 45 tons capacity,
average cost was $2.41 per ton capa-
city.
The small silo is more expensive in
proportion to its capacity. A silo
should be not less than ten feet in dia-
meter. The height should be at least
twice as great as the diameter. On
the average farm two medium sized
silos are more satisfactory than one
extremely large one.

For a breeding pen use from 15 to
20 large, early-hatched pullets, with
two large, vigorous cockerels. have
one cockerel in the pen each day,

vigorous and the eggs are more fertile.

After Harvest Cultivation
For the Dry Farmer

The moisture supply for the growth
of plants in dry land agriculture comes
from the. natural precipitation. The
greater portion of our rainfall comes
during the winter months. Plants are
not growing at this season and can not
make use of the moisture as it comes.
How best to hold and conserve the
winter precipitation is the problem.
1t has been found at the agricultural
experiment station at Pullman, Wash.
that soil which is in a loose, open con-
dition will take in and hold from Is to
35 per cent more moisture than one
which is in hard, compact condition.
Soils which have been thoroughly
loosened up during late summer and
early fall, before the rainy season.
either by thorough discing or fall
plowing, give yields of from five to
ten bushels per acre more than the
same type of soils that are allowed to
go through the winter untouched after
harvest. Discing to depth of four
or five inches as soon after harvest as
practicable, is just as efficient and
beneficial as fall plowing, and is cas-
ier and more economically accomplish
ed. More of the winter rainfall will
be held, run-off and washing will be
prevented and the soil will be benefit
ted, where the stubble land has been
given thorough discing during late
summer or early fall. Try it!
