Feeding Cattle.

1t has been demonstrated in all o.
A. c. cattle feeding contests that, re-
gardless of the method of feeding,
the gains actually possible under our
conditions are less than our cattlemen
ere estimating. On uncut alfalfa
without grain, one pound per day is
about the average gain, even where
the cattle receive the most careful at
tention, whereas the cattlemen are
commonly estimating the gains as
high as one and one-half to two
pounds. For several years up to the
last winter the cattle feeders have not
been making money. Figures indi-
cate the trouble is due to two reasons.
One is that, when actually put over
the scales, we find the cattle have
not made as big gains as the feeders
expect. The second reason is that the
business has been somewhat over
done. Too many have had the notion
that the price of cattle was going out
Of sight. 1t has been demonstrated
that the northwest can, unless the
feeders all get scared and quit as they
did in 1856, supply the local mar
kets with all the beef they need dur
ing the late winter and early spring
months, and that we need not expect
cattle to be materially higher in the

The Moose lodge initiated twenty
seven new members last Monday
evening, the occasion being one Of
the most eventful in local Moosedom
for some months. Twenty visiting
brothers from Medford aided in the
direction of ceremonies and helped
saddle the goat. The unusually large
number of initiates comes as the re-
suit Of organization activities on the
part of Organizer Max Donohue of
Portland. who has been working in
this territory of late. Among the
new members were several prominent
city officials, including Mayor LAM
kin, Recorder Winner, Chief of Police
Atterbury and Fire Chief Robinson.
The lodge now has 1876 members.
