individual cost of producing those prod
ucts.
"In the past this difference between
the selling price and the supposed cost
of production has been wide enough so
that practically any farmer, regard
less of his training experience and
skill, could make living. The margin
of profit has been growing smaller each
year.
"When profits were relatively easily
secured in generous amounts, the
farmer could guess as to which lines OF
production were worth while, but now
that margins have become so small,
some way of keeping an account of his
business is absolutely necessary If he
would be certain Of making the profit
which he desires"

war OF 1912 on account of the en-

They said this cutting of commerce

fact terrapin always has good rea-

Tomas for the Greedy Fish.

The fish that swallows bait and hook
is not joy to the angler. Getting
the hook out is no easy task. But the
task is simplitied by using handy
device just invented and described In
the Popular Science Monthly.
The device is made from one piece
of elastic steel wire bent in the shape
of pair of tongs. The ends of the
two arms of the tongs are sharpened
to a point When a fish has been
caught which has swallowed the hook,
the arms OF the tongs are compressed
and their ends are inserted in the
fish's mouth. The arms will then
spring apart and hold the jaws open.

Halcyon DAYS.

"Halcyon days" was the name given
by the Greeks to the seven days which
precede and follow the shortest day
of the year The reference is to an
old fable which states that during this
time of year. when the halcyon, or king
fisher, was breeding, there was calm
at sea. From this tradition the phrase
"halcyon days" has come TO signify a
period of pence and tranquility

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
One of the first decisions that the
producer of baby beef should make is
whether TO have his calves born in
The spring or in the fall. AT the pres
pnt time most of the calves on farms
are born during the spring, but those
who have tried tie fall calving plan
under suitable conditions, find it pos
sibly more satisfactory. The fall
born calf fits in with pastures some
what better than those born in the
the pasture and at the end of this pc
riod he goes into the dry lot for finish
ing. on the other hand, the spring
born calf must be fed during the first
winter and when the pastures are
ready usually cannot be placed on
them because lie has reached the fin
fishing period and should go into the
dry lot. Again, the farmer who sells
milk will derive greater profit when
his cows freshen in the fall, since
milk markets are better then than in
the spring. An additional advantage
is the fact that finishing calves in the
fall and early winter interferes less
with other farm work than in the
spring and early summer. On the
other hand, in extremely cold climates
calves born in the late fall will suffer,
so that warm barns are a necessity.
More feed is also necessary to main
tain cows when they are nursing
calves, and if this is done in the win
ter when pastures are not always
available. the expense Of keeping the
herd will be somewhat increased.
Furthermore, farmers who buy cows
that have been bred to calve in the
fall must lose six months of service
from them If the change is made to
fall calving.
Milk for Calves.
Ii Is also necessary for the owner
to determine whether the calves Shall
have all Of their mothers milk OF
whether any other use is TO be made
of il. Under the so-called beef sys-
tenn, all the calves are allowed to
nurse their dams and the cows are
kept strictly for the calves which they
produce. Under the system Of dou-
Bile nursing, some of the cows are re-
qulred to suckle two calves and the
milk from the others is sold or dis
posed of in some way. Many herds,
too, are kept both for beef and milk
purposes. Under this system, known
as the dual purpose, the cows are
MIXED and the calves are raised on
skim milk and grain. A fourth sys-
TEN is used chiefly in the Southeast
and is known as the partial milking
system. Under this method the calves
take portion of the milk and the
balance is hand MIXED. This in
wolves n great deal Of trouble and la
Dor however, and is not practicable
on the average beef-produclng farm.
In general, it is said that the beef and
the double-nursing systems are the
most satisfactory for the production
of prime baby beef
Under ordinary circumstances
calves intended for baby beef should
be fed a conservative ration of grain
as soon as they will eat it. In all
cases baby beef calves should be fed
literally on grain for at least one
month before weaving time. They
may be started when four to six weeks

WANTS HIGH CLASS
ART EXHIBITS HERE
Would Have Art Association
and Bring Exhibits to
Salem

There is q movement under discus
sion among art lovers in Salem for the
establishment of an art association,
under the auspices of which high class
art exhibits could be brought to this
city and placed on display for short
periods.
1t is believed that such an associa.
ton is needed in the city and that les
establishment would do a great deal
toward developing an appreciation foI
the best there is in painting and sclup.
ture.
Portland has such an art association
and it has been great benefit in
bringing close home the works that
have gained fame throughout the
world for their beauty and artistic sig
nificance, Salem has large number
of people who are interested general
ly in pictures but the average taste
has not been educated to an apprecia-
tion of the best.
Art For Everybody
The idea that art is for the wealthy,
for the artist alone, is decried because
art itself lies close to the heart of each
and every human in some way or 9TH
er, and needs only the opportunity to
spread its gossamer wings.
1t is suggested that convenient and
suitable place to house exhibits would
be the auditorium of the city library,
and that it could be made as useful
from this standpoint as it is in pre-
senting the great operas by means Of
the victrola.
Portland's art institute this month
is drawing interested visitors on ac-
count of the exhibition there Of the
pictures of Jonas Lie pronounced
Lee), who spent some time in the Pan
ANA canal zone. A large number of the
pictures of this exhibit are of Panama
scenes and the construction of the
great canal.
Exhibit in Portland
The exhibit will be seen at the in
stitute, which is located at Fifth and
Taylor streets, all through March,
when it will be sent to San Francisco.
1t is declared by art critics that these
pictures are wonderful in the stories
they tell of the magnitude and poetry
of the tropics and the canal.
1t is pointed out that if Salem had
an art Association and place in which
to house an exhibit like the one now
in Portland, it would add much to the
city as an art community in bringing
such exhibits here for a few days at
least.
That move will be made in the
near future looking toward the estab-
lishment of such an association is be-
lieved certain. Mrs. Monroe Gilbert, of
the Frame Shop, is enthusiastic over
the idea and believes great deal could
be done in forming a right artistic
taste in the young people Of Salem.
