What SO Sheep Did for Polk County
Man,

This is a sheep story and R. G.
Shepard of Spring Valley, Polk coun-
ty, about eight miles from Salem,
vouches for its truthfulness.
One year ago Mr.. Shepard owned
Sc sheep which he valued at SO a
head. That is, he tried to sell them
at this price to a neighbor, but no
deal was made and he finally let out
35 head on shares. The first chapter
of this story is to the effect that Mr..
Shepard had Sc sheep one year ago,
valued at IS a head, or a total of
$44S.
The second chapter closes the story
wherein Mr.. Shepard sits down and
notes that in one years time, from
those Sc sheep he now has, after SELL
ing 5000 worth of wool and mutton,
25 ewes valued at $3.50 each and
20 lambs worth SO each, or a total
value of $492.50. In other words,
he values his small flock of sheep at
more than its worth one year ago
and at the same time has as a clear
profit $500 for the wool and mutton
sold. And if he hadn't let the 35
head out on shares the figures would
have been much larger to his credit,
OF course the big increase in num-
ber had much to do with his profit
able transactions. He says that his
ewes lamber 10 per cent and that
he saved 19O per cent, remarkable
record

Effect Of Bad Tceth.

A paper by dental surgeon in the
Journal of the American Medical as
sociation, tells the story Of bad teeth
and the effects on the laboring mans
efficiency. The dentist said he made
10000 examinations in sixteen months
of 1900 Americans and $4,000 foreign
ers and found 90 per cent in need Of
dental service. "In 10000 mouths" /"
the dentist said, I'VE find 10000 cavi-
ties and $4,000 extractions necessary,
$1,000 in all. If each one causes an
average loss, through waste of time
and cost to repair, Of 81 1T means a
cost of $156,0O0. In New York city
last year $1,000 children failed to be
promoted to higher grades because of
defective teeth, and it costs New York

pioestibilitv of Cheese.

By experiments on the digestibility
of cheese 1t has been shown that much
depends on the special physical char
acters Of the food. All fat cheeses are
said to be dissolved and digested with
great rapidity, because the molecules
of casein-the nitrogenous part of the
cheese-are separated only by the fat,
and so the gastric juice can attack a
large surface of the cheese at one time.
Whether the cheese be hard or soft
does not appear to influence digestion,
and there is no connection between the
digestibility and the percentage of wa

Apple-Packing Method.

Community apple-packing houses
are likely to solve the problem of la
Dor in handling, in short period, the
increasing apple crop of the Pacific
northwest. The success of the Gen.
tralized packing plants in 1916, not
previously tried to any considerable
extent in this region, was indicated
by the wide adoption of this plan last
season when perhaps one-fourth OF
the crop in Oregon and Washington
was packed in community houses
investigations of the new enterprise
last season conducted by specialists
lin the Bureau of Markets in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and now published in prelimi-
nary report, make available for inter-
ested organizations and individuals
suggestions as to best methods of con-
structing, equipping and operating
such packing plants.
The advantages of the community
over the individual or ranch plan of
packing, according to the specialists,
are better and more uniform grading
and packing, obtaining experienced
labor more readily and using inexperi-
enced labor more effectively, using
expensive labor-saving equipment
such as sizing machines and gravity
conveyors which the small grower
could not afford, and simplifying and
facilitating of inspection work.
The community packing house
scheme is new and consequently an

Many Of us are not miserable enough
with the pains Of the present, but must
treasure up the pains Of the past as

misery and borrow them of the future
