GAINS WITH LAMBS LARGE.

'hvery dollars worth Of feed put
into lambs has brought us two dollars
in return, or profit OF over $500 a
car" says the report of feeding expert
ments at the Eastern Oregon Branch
station at Union. The report explains,
however, that conditions were excep-
tional, and equally good results are not
expected another year. The lambs were
bought near the end of a period of de
preston when many Oregon feeders had
quit, leaving but little competition.
Market conditions were also ideal. But
it was shown in the experiments that
gains were larger and costs less than
are generallv supposed.

He was whistling softly as he rode
