H. S. NOTES.

Last Wednesday night one OF tho
most important basket bali games OF
,ue season was played The Payette
team won from the o. u. 5. Eve by a
score OF 25 TO 23. The game was "a
fast and exceedingly rough one from
the first whistle TO the last.
by no means should Ontario have
lost this game as the team work was
much better than Payette's. But only
a few fouls were called by the referee
on the Payette boys and when our
fellows noticed Il they plyed the
same way and were penalized, The
lineup was:

Dairy COJOS Make Great Record
Produces Real Honey for Gunner

G. w. DoBoer and Pete Tensen are
the proud owners of great producing
dairy herds. They are both Holland
crs and as expected cling to their hol-
stein COWS. says w. w. Howard, the
county agricultural agent.
Each of these herds are nlled with
young cows, but the record for the
past nine months Is so remarkable
that even with the young cows they
are far above the average. Mr. De
Beers herd has a daily average for
nine months OF $500 pounds OF milk
and i26 pounds of butter fat. MIR.
Tensen's herd does not run as high
as Mr.. DeBoer's herd, but u out of
90 cows are heifers. Mr.. Tensen's
cows daily average for the nine
months tested show 30.I pounds milk
and 1.O9 pounds OF butter fat

records OF these herds would scarce

FARMERS, THINK ON THIS

The Office Extension Work in the
north and west, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, urges that the
matters discussed below have imme-
date attention.
This might appear to many to be
a good time to sell the family COW
or the family dairy herd, because
prices for cows are high and it is
easy to sell; but suppose you do sell ?
What is gained? Prices of milk and
butter are high-seem higher when
you buy han when you sell. Per
haps we are crossing the stream" re
ferred to by Abraham Lincoln when
he advised against swapping horses
while crossing a stream. In any case.
will it not be better IL the family COW
and the family dairy are kept by
those who know how to make them
most productive?

the crops are off, AS soon as any part
Of the garden is cleared, however
small the space, SOW rye upon it at

the whole garden is sowed, even
though the last vegetable crops come
off quite late In the fall, as rye will
terminate at temperature only slight
ly above the freezing point. If the
soil is loose, the rye may be scat

with a garden rake. If the soil is hard
it should first be hOed or cultivated
. or 3 inches deep, as the ideal seed
bed for rye is compact beneath and

The advantages of sowing rye are:
Cd 1t protects the soil from wash

food material which might otherwise
escape into the air during the fall
and winter; CD when turned under In
the spring, it furnishes humus to the
soil.
