Cattle-Market in beef sters was
active, with prices ranging from 25c
to 55c higher, which was the first
real upturn the market has had for
about a month. BUYERS mad to step
lively to get in at all on the supply,
which was sold out in the early morn
ing hours. All killers seem to be in
need Of immediate supplies. While
there were no strictly fat steers in
the entire run, with the exception Of
one head at S10.50, they are quoting
prime hard grass steers from $10.25
TO $1050. Four loads Of very good
California steers brought $40, which
sold about Csc higher. Several loads
of very good yearling steers. although
not fat, brought 1925 to $3.50; or
dinary and medium steers. brought
the biggest advances for the day,
most of which sold soc higher, with
one sale fully 55c higher. Sales on
these grades ranged from $S to So
Demand for killers did not seem to
want and prices were fully steady
with week ago, and in many cases
25c higher-that Is, on fat stuff. The
best cows sold from 1925 to $S.75,
with few choice hefers going at
80. Thin dairy bred stuff, Of which
there was quite spread, got only
steady bids, prices ranging from IS
to 81. There were only few thin
bulls on the market, with very little
demand and steady prices. Best
heavy bulls sold from 81 to s7.75.
Hogs-With the smallest Monday
run of hogs in years on the market
yesterday 1t did not seem to have any
effect on prices. All the sellers could
do was to get steady bid Demand
continues very light. Several loads
Of prime hogs brought s15.25 for
the bulk of good hogs. Packers are
not willing to give over SIS. Pigs
and grass hogs are still being cut
very hard with the bulk bringing $12.
Sheep-Prices in the sheep house
are from 25c to 75c lower than a
week ago, although there was
steady market yesterday. Good to
choice spring lambs are selling most
ly at $13 so, with culls from 81 to
s12. Yearlings, wethers and ewes,
especially heavy ones, were in for a
trimming at the close of the week,
prices being off soc to 75c. The
choice shorn yearlings sold from
$1O.75 to s11, with wethers from
$1O.25 to s1O.5O. Good to choice
shorn ewes brought SO to $3.50, with
good heavy ewes from $3.50 to 50.
Culls are selling from S5 to 81. Re-
ceipts of sheep the past week, while
not heavy, we're Of comparatively
good volume, but demand was not
very great.

CuIling Out the Poor Layers.

The high prices Of feed make 1t
more than ever necessary that the
poultry keeper should Gull out from
his flock those pullets that have not
shown signs of producing eggs in the
near future. II may be taken for
granted that every pullet that is lay
ing in November will be good layer
throughout the year. Experiments
at the Oregon station have shown
very conclusively that the early lay
ing pullet or the pullet that begins
to lay at an early age, is on the aver
age a good layer throughout the year.
In a flock Of 100 pullets hatched at
about the same time, say late in
March or early April, there will be
a considerable percentage Of them
laying by the first Of November, II
they have had good care throughout

Starts Business With Runt Pig.

81 want to get my father interested
in pure bred Durocs instead OF
grades, " says one of the five hundred
or more Oregon boys in the pig club
work. This boy couldn't get a first
class pig, so took runt that weighed
so pounds at four months, May 25.
But when the State Fair opened and
he appeared with his pig 1t was no
longer runt-it was a first-class
market hog, in prime condition and
well groomed. He was unable to stay
at the fair, so rode his bicycle back
and forth for the fifteen miles. He
could always be seen about the swine
barns, talking with breeders, study
ing the hogs, and watching the judges
at work.
His pig tipped the scales at 225
pounds on the last day of the fair,
and sold at 91S cents, or $21.37. The
total cost, including purchase price,
feed and pasture, was shown by rec
ords, such as all club boys keep, to be
$10.92, leaving a profit of $10.45.
Much of the feed was weeds, skim
milk and other waste products.
This young farmer, 13 years of age,
has recently secured fine registered
Duroc gilt on shares, and will buy
feed for her this winter with the
profits made on his runt pig.

Low Pastures Cause Liver FIuke


The wet spring will probably be
followed by serious infestatlon of
sheep, goats and cattle with liver
flukes. These parasites enter the an
imal with the food or water during
the summer and early fall. Symp-
toms Of fluke infestation usually ap-
pear in the winter Such symptoms
consist in loss of weight, persistent
diarrhea and In some cases a swell
ing under the jaw. Treatment after
symptoms appear is useless Preven-
tion consists in avoiding wet, swampy
pastures or stangnant water. Pas
lures which have been used the pre-
vious season for grazing fluke infest-
ed animals are very dangerous. So
are ponds or sloughs which have re-
ceived drainage from infested areas.

lars can be had by writing to the Ore
gon Agricultural College. Corvallis,

+the summer. There will also be a
considerable percentage that will not
lay probably for two months later.
The late layers will be poor layers on
the average, throughout the year If
the poultryman, therefore, can mark
in some way the early layers he
should keep those throughout the
year. Those that take two months
longer to begin laying should be
killed off, as they will hardly pay for
their feed. The percentage of early
layers and late layers in flock will
vary with the breeding they have had
In flock, for instance, that has been
bred up to average say 200 eggs in a
year, there will be hiSh percentage
of early layers, while in the flock that
will average 12O eggs a year there
will be a comparatively high percent
age of late layers, so that more Gull
ing would be necessary in the latter
than in the former. II the poultry
man can note the pullets that lay
first, as well as those that lay last,
he will have a very satisfactory basis
for eliminating the poor layers. This
rule will not apply to late Matched
pullets.
The use of the trap-nest for two
months in the fall Is the surest way
of picking out the early layers and
for detecting the poor. layers.

recent discussion on fabrication and
the merits of eastern and western

I'VE find certain widely known
California oil, made from California
asphalt-b base crude, to be an entirely

 Foruets White Race

We Germans can calmly look on. Japan must find a path that leads to us. and whatever is left in Germany of common interest in the white race will disappear like chalf before the wind with American intervention in the war against us"
 Dr. Heckcher then asserted that President Wilson's policies would au- tomatically result in a re-alignment of the world powers.
 ''On the one hand" he declared, we shall have an Anglo-American group. Opposing it will be German Russo-Japanese coalition which. by the way. will not be inimical to the life interests of our central and east ern European allies. I especially em- phasize that Russias dream of con quered Constantinople without con- quest, will have been realized, with the Dardarfelles proclaimed free waterway.
 "The seed sown by President Will son in this war will not ripen today nor tomorrow It will spring into maturity when the historical eXposi- ton of the American and Japanese Monroe Doctrines will occur on the high seas and the battle fields"

The second point given prominence is that the operation of the Central Pacific as a part of the Southern Pacific system has not been shown to have had an injurious effect on ship pers. It was recalled today that dur ing the arguments in the case the at torneys for the government sought to show that the Southern Pacific had discriminated against the Oakland ogden route in favor of the Sunset Trans Continental lines, and that at torneys for the Southern Pacific de nied this contention.
 The opinion filed today states that under the control of the Central Pacl- fic by the Southern Pacific the 'gov- ernment and the people were being served adequately"
 Whether the government will appeal to the supreme court was not known here today.

 Preparedness Grows
 AS I look over the field l find all kinds of societies. associations and committees for mobilizing anything and everything-industries, food, ni- trates and transportation-in case of war with a foreign power.
 Tn short the move for prepared ness is bearing some fruit but alas, in one direction onlq. It is only di- rected toward mobilization of our ma terial resources. I have scanned the horizon in vain to find any associa- tions of the man with the musket, who is prepared to grovel in the mire and mud. to dodge grenades and shells. to shiver and suffer in the cold and wet

all around this country, and it re-

nevertheless a great increase of &C.

ENJOYS who are looking after our in

newspapers and member of the state

While the Italian effort has been cen
tered in the war. there has not been
the activity in the American Embassy
at Rome that might be imagined until
recently. Italian towns have not been
ravaged as have those of France and
Belgium and relief work has not been

Great Britain is a country with
which our relations have remained
unstrained and settled not so with
Austria-Hungary, however, and so the
work at the embassy at Vienna called
for the exercise of extreme good judg-
ment. Frederic CORTLAND Penfield,
American ambassador to Austria-Hun-
gary, has been n diplomat all of his
life.
At the age Of thirty, he entered tho
diplomatic service in 1885 beginning
as vice-consul to London; then fol-
lowed post in Egypt. where he had
the rank of resident minister until
1897. He has been ambassador to
Austria-Hungary since July, 1918, and
represented this country at a time
when Austrian ENJOYS here were CIV
ing great trouble. The recall of Dr.

Altogether the princess or Queen Au-

Great punches of flowers are sent

soldier has his own Christmas

of Zeppelin raids are given toys and
Christmas trees are set up for them.
These innocent victims of German
frightfulness come in for large share
of the Christmas treat. Poor little
creatures who are compelled to suf-
fer, frequently, for the rest of their
lives through German crimes are the
most pathetic sights in the English
hospitals and it seems but fitting that
on the birthday of the Christ Child
these children should share the
Christmas festivities with the men
who are fighting to save them from
further torture. Queen Alexandra too
visits the military hospitals on Christ
mas Day and sees to it that each and
every invalid soldier has his treat on
that day. All over England the good
woman spends the weeks prior to the
holiday season in preparing goodies"
and entertainments for the wounded.
Hundreds of boxes are sent TO the
front especially to the dressing sta
tions where the busy surgeons and
nurses may have at least Il semblance
of Christmas about the place when
the wounded are brought in.
