REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESS
Clean, Dry Place With Plenty of
Fresh Air and Sunshine Among
Essentials In Wintering Sheep.

There are four very essential things
necessary in wintering flock Of
breeding ewes. The first is clean,
dry place with an abundance of air
and all the sunshine possible. The
house or shed must be sufficiently
warm for the lambs to do well from
the start, should they come in March
or February, but there must Tot be a
hothouse warmth.
The second essential is pure water,
and plenty of it. Sheep that eat snow
for water will be found in very diff
ferent condition from those which
have access to water at all times. Re-
member that sheep drinks but little

Most Profitable Age and Types
of Beef Cattle.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Successful livestock growers
as we'll as dealers in livestock and
meats, must know the market de-
mands and then grow animals that
will meet them. This is the cardinal
principle of the industry as announced
by Mr.. Forestel, expert buyer for the
Union Meat company, in his livestock
demonstration before the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college short course stu
dents. Farmers that raise livestock
for beef and pork, often aim at the
production of animals as big and fat
as they can be made. When those
farmers take the stock to market they
are disappointed and often angry be-
cause it brings less per pound that the
smaller animals. Beef animals are
sold with the highest margin Of profit
at from one to two years of age. A
grower recently sold yearling steer
in the city market for s95 at the same
time that another grower sold a two
year-old for Silt. There is no profit
at all in carrying beef animals after
they are two or three years old.
1t was further pointed out that
types should be developed that carry
high percentages in the choice parts
Of the carcass. Everybody wants por-
terhouse steak and prime ribs, and
these cuts must bear the loss of the
chuck, which Is about az per cent of
the dressed beef. And then people
wonder why beef is SO high. But
growers will profit by knowing the
facts, II they choose their beef types
accordingly.

Notes and Instructions Agricultural Colleges Experiment

Mushroom Growing Easily
OverdOne,

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-"Although there is no larger
market for mushrooms than there has
been for some time, there is renew
ed interest in the subject of growing
mushrooms in commercial quantities,
says Professor A. G. Bouquet, head of
the market gardening section of the
Oregon Agricultural college. "This
renewed interest is shown by the large
number of inquiries received at this
Office concerning cost of production.
/ am at loss to know where all
these prospective growers expect to
market their mushrooms even should
they succeed in growing them success
fully.
''Of course it is well enough to
grow small amount for home use,
but the production of mushrooms in
large commercial lots will have to en-
counter the obstacle of limited mar
kets. Mushrooms are delicacy that
is not relished by everybody alike.
1T is also true that there is large
supply of natural grown mushrooms
near many of the towns in the Will
lamette valley. Small patches of
edible mushrooms are found near Cor
wallis, and furnish source of supply
from which those who are fond of
this delicacy may 60 and help them
selves. Doubtless some persons are
prevented from availng themselves of
any natural supply by the fact that
there is danger of securing poisonous
varieties. But the edible mushrooms
are well known to many persons in
any large community, whose assist
ance can be secured by others who
wish to supply the table occasionally
with mushrooms.
Catchy advertisements of phenom-
enal profits in growing mushrooms for
the market are doubtless chiefly re-
sponsible for the unusual desire of 80
many people to engage in the mush-
room business. These firms have
spawn to sell, and of course the profits
of the advertisers are in selling it.
The cost of the spawn itself is no in
considerable item, and for mushroom
bed of fifty feet square its cost is
$500. The requisite to success in
growing the mushroom artificially is a
properly prepared and evenly heated
bed. Most persons who depend upon
heating the bed with manure, fail to
appreciate the Importance of its elias
ticity. Unless it is thoroughly mixed
and shoveled over several times it is
very likely to heat in spots, some of
which will be too hot and some too
cold. Under these circumstances the
amateur is greatly discouraged with
his results.
Beginners in mushroom growing
should make their start on a small
scale. In this way success is more
likely and in case failure comes it
does not mean heavy financial loss.
Having studied the question for
several years and having observed how
it works out experimentally with the
amateurs, feel justified in saying
that those who contemplate engaging
in the industry would find it more
profitable to plan general home gar
den and carry the plan carefully to a
conclusion.
"This department will be glad to
answer any questions concerning eth
er the home garden or the mushroom
growing that are sent to this Office"

When the breeder culls out his sows

Two Sheep Pastures.

Sheep owners should realize that
having two or more feed lots is econ
omy. AS soon as one pasture is picked
bare, a change should be made. In
this way the pasture becomes fresh
ened and the weeds will be kept down
better. Sheep do much better on less
ground when this system is used and
many more sheep can be kept.
