Birthday Surprise.

Yesterday was the 36th birthday Of
Mrs. w. c. Dewitt, and in the even
ing she visited the picture show
with her husband. During her alb
sence from home, Mrs. Ida NJ, Sheel-
er, with the assistance of others,
prepared an elaborate supper to
which were invited the members of
Myrtle Temple No. 30, Pythian Sis
tiers. At S o'clock Mr. and Mrs De-
Witt reached their home, which was
brilliantly lighted and filled with
guests, much to their surprise. AT a
given signal the dining room doors
were thrown open and those present
ushered in to table fairly groaning
with good things to eat. A blessing
was invoked, when Mrs. Golledge ad-
dress Mrs. Dewitt as follows:
"Most Esteemed Eminent Past
Chief-The members of Myrtle Tem-
pie No %, Pythian Sisters, have as
signed to me a duty to perform which
affords me unalloyed pleasure. They
desire to in some way recognize the
devoted service rendered by one of
its most respected sisters, who has
filled the highest office within our
gift, and in every way contributed so
toward our success, and as a
slight token of their appreciation and
love request me to present you this
gold pin, emblematical of our beloved
order May you wear it during life
and may God bless you"
With a heart too full for utter
ance, Mrs. Dewitt was too much
surprised to say more than Thanks,
sisters, thanks"
The guests were then seated ani
, two course supper partaken Of. In
he center of the table was a large,
ornamented birthday cake,
surrounded by thirty-siX pink and
, hite candles. The menu embraced
rfed chicken galore and too many
lice things to enumerate, of which

In addition to grain the steers
grazed % acres of alfalfa on which
the growth stood about eight or ten
inches high when the steers we're
turned in. A rack was placed near
the feed hunks and kept filed with
clover bay which had been badly
damaged by rain before being stack
ed. Probably six tons Of this was
eaten. Allowing $500 per ton this
amounts to $50, and leaves STA. SO for
the use of the alfalfa and labor.
During the 60 days the "a yearlings
gained daily 2.5 pounds each, total
of 1917 pounds each for the period,
and grand total of 3641 pounds for
the "a head. During the entire two
months there was not single serious
case of bloat. Two or three times
one steer bloated noticeably.
1t must be remembered that this is
but single test and that weather
conditions we're favorable. The re-
suits are published now because so
many inquiries are received concern
ing the handling of beef cattle.
At the conclusion of the test full
record will be published, including
financial statement.
Prof. Ashby believes in the posi-
bilities OF beef production in the In
land Empire. He says too much
valuable feed is wasted every year
feed which if utilized would fatten
thousands of cattle and sheep. Cat
tie feeding is not business for every
farmer but offers splendid chances
for turning low grade feeds into
money with a minimum labor cost.

community there is prosperity.
Strictly fruit growing, strictly wheat
growing, strictly corn growing or
strictly cotton growing districts have
their ups and downs; good years and
bad years. but the dairy industry is
always stable. The reason is not far
to seek, for dairy products are es
sential to human welfare. A person
can get along without fruit; they
can in measure curtail their ex-
penses for flour; if necessary they
can get aloug with little meat, but it
is impossible to eliminate butter and
milk from the American table.
Another pleasing fact of the sale is
the fact that such sale can be held
in the state of Washington, way out
near the Pacific Ocean. Everyone of
the COWS sold we're produced in the
Pacific Northwest and everyone was
sold to Pacific Northwest breeders.

Such sale as this is not only crafty

to dairymen everywhere. The sale
was held in country which has been
noted for it's fruit raising rather than
