Pure Blood Value
In the Dairy Herd

The success of the dairyman is de-
pendent, primarily, upon the eff
cheney or milk-producing ability Of
the COWS in his herd. A greater va
ration exists in the producing ability
OF dairy cows than Is found in any
other class Of livestock. 1t is not un-
usual for one COW to produce three
to five times more milk than another
receiving the same feed and care. In
no other class of livestock do we find
so wide range of efficiency. This
fact emphasizes the importance of
testing each individual COW in the
dairy herd. External appearances of.
ten give but little Indication of milk
producing qualities. Profits are
measured by the excess value Of prod
ucts over the cost of production and
the work of each individual COW in
the herd should be ascertained. An
hours extra time month in a herd
Of ten cows will secure the needed
/ information.
The inferior or boarder COW Is a
drag on the industry and the direct
cause Of big leak in profits that
should be stopped. Many herds that
are Improbable could be made profit
makers through wedding out the
poorer cows.
Milk-producing ability Is inherited
or born in COW. Dalrymen should
take extreme CAFE that calves born
in their herd carry blood in their
veins from high-producing ancestors.
A pure-bred bull from a producing
line of ancestry will often increase
milk production fifty percent. Good
breeding is very important for the
keeper of grade cattle, as well as for
pure breds. Through bull associa-
ton or breeders association the
dairyman keeping but few cows can
secure the benefits following the use
of a highclass sire and at very
small expense.

unfit is of first Importance. No ami
nal should long remain in the herd
that lacks ability to work at a profit.
In communities where there is no
association and not sufficient num-
Der of cows to Justify an organization
each dairyman should Systematically
test his own cows each month. 1t
takes but a very few minutes and
nothing he can do will give so great
returns.
Better breeding and feeding prac-
tices follow cow-testing work whether
it is done by association or individual
dairymen.
At the dairymen's meeting held at
Medford on April 6, E. B. Fits of the
extension service, o. A. c., discussed
in detail the cow-testing association
end other aids in improving dairy
cattle.

Erred Lockley, in Oregon Journal.
Somewhere in Francois / en-
tered the Red Triangle hut one
morning | saw a rather petite, dark
haired woman in a fur coat pausing
in uncertainty in front of the door.
I invited her to come in, as we had
cheerful fire going and the air out
side was cold and damp. By the
side of the doorway we had written
on the announcement board an in
vitation to all to come and hear
Ehetta Childe Dorr, the distinguished
writer. tell of her experiences in Rus
sia with the Battalion of Death. The
notice caught the eye Of our guest.
I saw that she was reading the an
nouncement with interest, so | said
you must try to be on hand tonight
and take that in. 1t will be good
and meanwhile come in with me and
we will have a cup of coffee and
some toast together in front of the
fireplace" Her dark eyes twinkled
with merriment as she said: "Oh,
I'll be there, for, you see, / am
Rhetta Childe Dorr, and l will also
be glad to go in and have some cof
fee and toast. l have just got here
after an all night ride, and if you can
provide the facilities for me to wash
my face and hands l would appreci-
ate it," A basin of hot water and
a rough towel were quickly provided,
and we were soon sitting in front OF
a small but cheerful fire in the CRATE,
with table between us, with toast
and coffee. 81 have just come from
the 'front.'" said Miss Dorr General
Pershing was very kind and when |
finally persuaded him wanted to go
into the trenches with our American
boys. He wanted to treat me as
woman, in place Of as reporter, at
first. but I had come to see things
at first hand, and he made it possible
for me to see how we are doing our
part in the world war. The spirit OF
our men is splendid. I asked one OF
the boys-and I met boys from the
northwest, the south and all over the
Union-how he felt about going into
the trenches. He said That's what
we are here for It's got to be done,
so we might as well do the job cheer
fully AS you see, wear tall water
proof boots and olive drab trousers,
So in spite of the driving snow and
the mud of northern France I got
about without trouble"
All of Mrs. DORIS description of
the front will have to omit, on ac-
count of the censorship. In fact, I
can not tell of the most interesting
things we discussed pertaining to her
visit to the front, so I will have to
drop back to things I can discuss
II was born in Omaha and lived for
many years at Seattle, so you see
am thoroughly western" said Mrs.
Dorr. "I must tell you of an inter
esting thing that happened to me in
your city, Portland. I am passion
ately fond of violets, and you know
what large and fragrant violets you
have in Portland. ! mentioned the
fact to gentleman met there and
he told me that it was Oregon vio-

Leqal Advice Free TO
Soldiers in Service

AS a member of the legal advisory
board and also the state council of
defense, I want to say to the people
of Jackson county and especially to
those who are interested in the af-
fairs of our soldiers from this coun-
ty, that the american Bar associa-
tion, by resolution, has asked all law
yers in good standing throughout the
United States to render legal services
to and advise the enlisted and drafted
men as to their rights with reference
to their insurance and to say to their
dependents that any and all lawyers
in good standing will freely advise
them with reference to their rights
as to all matters pertaining to pen
sion or other claims free Of charge
and without any compensation what
ever.
AS the great majority OF the law
yers of Jackson county are now men,
bers of the board of legal advisors,
1t is their duty to protect all parties
CRATER and any and all persons who
connected with the war against the
seek to charge dependent relatives
and beneficiaries for advice and servt
ices with reference to their rights.
| desire to say, as chairman of the
legal advisory board, that free coun-
sci will be furnished to all persons
concerned in any of the matters
above set forth by the members of
that body. W. E. CREWS,
Chairman.

Collecting Old Clothing Not Regu.
lar Red Cross Activity.

Collecting old clothing for the Bel
gian relief committee was an act OF
cooperation undertaken by the Red
Cross at the special request of Her
bert Hoover. But it is not regular
Red Cross activity and was undertak-
en- for only a limited length of time.
Ordinarily the Red Cross has no use
for worn clothing, because it has no
way of sending such clothing abroad
In this instance the Belgian relief
commission made room on its own
ships for transporting these badly
needed supplies. This word of ex-
PLANTATION is sent out by division head
quarters, in view of the fact that
worn clothing has so often been re-
fused by the Red Cross.

will be added 500, 600 to cover oper-
ating expense of such company, in
Guiding the cost Of such road work as
will be imperatively necessary in the
transportation by heavy trucks Of
such vast tonnage.
The transportation company, how
ever, is only an incident in the vol
ume of the great enterprise that will
follow in the development of our
great mining belt and the, vast output
of wealth it will afford. Not only
will it serve to develop one mine, but
it will be the means of affording an
opportunity to the owners of rich
claims to develop them also and add
their output to the tonnage from the
Blue Ledge.
Solution Is Simple.
1t is admitted by everyone inter
ested that the only reason for mac
tivity in this great belt of rich ore
deposits is found in the lack of means
of getting the ore to the smelters,
The motor truck method is simple
solution of the problem. While it
will afford the miners in that region
the great desideratum, it will also
encourage the installation OF concen-
trating plants with which to handle
profitably the lower grade Of ores, of
which there is known to be an in
computable quantity.
The American is assured that only
short time will be required to solve
the transportation problem; that the
capital is awaiting necessary agree
ments with mine owners for the
transportation of tonnage, and that
the money for executing the plan
awaits only favorable answer.
