If the opening of the container is at

STRIVE FOR STRONG CALVES
Six Weeks Before Parturition Cow
Should Be Turned Dry-Aim to
Prevent White Scours.

The care of the calf should start
about six weeks before parturitiOn, by
turning the COW dry and enabling her
to rest and put on flesh. If the cow
is not turned dry, weak calves will
generally be the result. Ordinarily
calf will be nursing in less than an
hour after birth-eXtra strong calves
in much less time. The herdsman or
attendant should disinfect the navel
of the calf at once in order TO prevent
white scours. A solution of carbolic
acid or tincture of iodine will be very
effective.

REDUCTION PLANT
TO BE INSTALLED

A contract has been given for the
installation of a large ore reduction
plant for the Almeda Mines Company
at the Almeda mine on Rogue river
some 27 miles below Grants Pass.
This is to be the largest milling
and smelling plant in Oregon and
one of the largest On the coast, with
q daily capacity of 400 tons, it is re-
ported.
The contract calls for the installa-
ton and equipment of an ore concen-
trating mill of not less than 200 tons
daily capacity and blast furnace of
not less than $50 tons daily capacity,
including power machinery for opera
tion of the entire plant.
The contract price to be paid for
this plant is 100000.
About 500 horsepower is required
for the operation of the Almeda
mine and this new plant, and it is
probable that some arrangement will
be made with the California; Oregon
Power Company to take power from
their plant to Almeda-Courier.

NEW L. S. RIFLE
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

The United States rifle, model OF
1917, commonly called the modified
Enfield, has now been tested in the
service of the army a sufficient time
to warrant the assertion that it more
than justifies the claims made for it,
according to statement authorized
by the secretary of war.
The new rifle takes a .3O-caliber
cartridge, which has the advantage
over the British Enfield of being rim
less. 1t has been found that unless
rim cartridges are fed through the
magazine uniformly with the rim of
the top cartridge ahead of the rim of
the one Immediately below, jams are
likely to occur.
The model of 1917shas an overall
length of 46.9 inches; a total weight
including oiler and thong case and
bayonet of 10 pounds and 5 ounces.
The breech mechanism is of the bolt
type.

provide for tree planting on 1882
acres divided among five national
forests as follows: Crater, 140 acres;
Oregon, $50 acres; Santiam, 40
acres; Siuslaw, 292 acres; Wenat-
chez, 800 acres. The species planted
will be mainly Douglas fir and west
ern white pine, grown at the Wind
River nursery, on the Columbia ma
tional forest, and a smaller quantity
Of western yellow pine grown at the
Page Creek nursery on the Siskiyou
national forest. Only the best grade
of stock in the nurseries will be used.
Spring planting will begin on the
Tallowbox Mountain planting project
in the Applegate region of the Crater
national forest March 13. This is
the third year of planting on this
project. The area is an old yellow
pine burn thct has grown up to brush.
1t is unproductive at present, but is
being restocked with yellow pine
seedlings from the Page Creek Nurs-
cry. The brush is so dense that the
planters can only work down the
slopes. Lanes have been cut through
the brush along the upper and lower
sides of the area with a connecting
lane by which men can go up and
plant down through the brush. This
planting is largely experimental as
the brush type Of land presents new
and unsolved planting problems.
Since the Forest Service began
planting trees on old burns in the
North Pacific district, 26,OOO acres
have been stocked in Oregon and
5000 acres in Washington.

only to delay the ultimate change

You Can't Afford
Not to Buy Stamps

Have you begun yet to buy the
thrift stamps issued by the United
States government as truly demo-
cratic means of raising money to
help win the war?
Don't tell me that you would like
TO buy some, but feel that you can't
afford to do so. The fact is that
you can't afford not to buy them.
Thrift stamps cost only 20 cents
apiece. But every 25 cents invested
in them gives additional guarantee
that America will remain a land
worth living in.
You have Just as much at stake as
anybody else. Your home is dear to
you. Your wife and children are
dear to you.
Picture to yourself what it would
mean to you, to your home, to your
wife and children, if the fiends who
ravaged Belgium were to- win the
war and come trooping overseas.
Your neighbors are awake to the
danger. If in no other way they are
helping to win the war by buying
thrift stamps. Every week these
stamps are being bought by men who
do not earn as much as you.
They will teach you that actually
it is possible for you to save some
thing. They will put you in the way
of escaping the evils of poverty in
old age.
A day is bound to come when you
will be too infirm to work. What
will happen to you then if you have
saved no money?
You will be dependent on the char
fly of others, perhaps of total stran-
gers. You may have to become an
inmate of a home for the friendless
poor.
Thousands have suffered this fate.
You do not want to have to suffer it.
And Uncle Sam, with his thrift.
stamps, stands ready to help save you
from it.
He would train you to develop
thrift habit. Into the bargain he is
willing to pay you for developing it,
For every sixteen thrift stamps
you buy and a few extra cents in
cash." Uncle Sam says, 81 will give
you war savings stamp worth 80
to you at the end of five years.
Twenty war savings stamps will
return to you on January l, 1928,
$10O If you buy the twenty before
the end of the present year this will
be a profit to you of over $17.'
1t means some sacrifice. But 1t
will also meah patriotism. And it
will mean the beginning of financial
independence when your working
days are done.
