Kaffir «'ora.
Our rwdtri have heard severel
times that we have agitated Kaffir
corn and mllo mslse as better feed
for fattening steers and stock In gen-
eral and ss we are fortunate enough
to have a country In which these two
crops grow easily snd msture with-
out failure every year, while the not
so fortunate. It may be of Interest
to read what C. K. Francis th.e chem-
ist of the Chemlcsl Department of the
Oklahoma Experimental Ststlon «ays
In part:
"Investigations have been msde to
determine the food value of Kaffir
corn and also Its vslue as raw mater-
ial of alcohol sta.rch, syrup and oil.
The tests made show that Kaffir corn
heads contain about one-third as
much digestible as average corn
snd cob meal. Kaffir corn, which
hss been soaked for IS hours was
found to be l**ast digestible than If
feed dry to steers. It pays to grind
Kaffir corn for 100 pounds Kaffir
corn meal contained as much digest-
ible mstter as 150 pounds of Kaffir
corn unground. The amount of di-
gestible matter was Increased by 13
per cent when Kaffir corn was
thresh*! .the grain ground snd feed
to steers along with the shredded
stover.
Chickens digested Ksfflr corn and
corn more completely when the
grains were fed whole than when
fed In the form of meal. Kaffir corn
Is a more suitable ration, consider-
ing only the relative amounts of
growth making and food forming
material for chickens than Kaffir
corn meal and corn meal. "The con-
clusions may be summarised as fol-
lows: The Kaffir corn kernel ranks
close to corn as a food. If It does not
excel It. Alcohol and glucose csn be
prepared cheaper from It than from
corn, provided only the cost of the
raw material Is considered. It Is
thought that the fat of Kaffir corn
will prove valuable ss a 'food and for
the manufacture of poaps and certsln
fatty adds.
Kaffir corn removes s smaller por-
tion of the Important plant foods
from the soil than does corn. It Is
an excellent crop for this district snd
will improve In accordance with the
Improvements of farming condit-
ions."

Jul I Oslo.
8nsrt hsr vi Julen, den glsde vel-
signede Jul, sårets «tørste heltid.
Julebudet: 'Kder er idag en frelser
født" lyder til alle og overalt, og der
er nepite noget landpaa Jorden nu.
hvor der Ikke flndee 1 det mlndste
nogle faa, som fatter deta hetvdnlng
og glæder sis til den store høltld.
Det var dog ikke meningen at
sende cn Julepræken til Oelo Posten.
Det kan vi trygt overlade til Oslo
presten. Han vil forkynde det glade
Julebudsksb for os baade I vort
gudshus. I vore hjem og kanske o pesa a
I dette blad. Og vi hører ham
gjeme.
VI ksn virkelig glæde os til Julen
her I Oslo. Det er en sf vore store
fordele I dette nybygge — vi kan
gjerne sige en af vore velsignelser —
at vi kan feire julefesten som en
norsk luthersk menlghed, nøiagtlg
som cn er vant til 1 barne aarene.
enten vi er født I Norge eller her i
landet. Vor eneste anke er vel den,
at vort kirkehus er for Ildet. Men
vi haaber, at vi snart skal faa en
atørre kirke. Forresten er vlvlstnok
slie enige om, at vi vilde hsve varet
meget mindre tilfreds med vort mid-
lertidige gudshus, om dstte havde
vist sig at være for stort.
Men del var Ikke om
denne side af Julen, jeg vilde faa lov
til at sige nogle ord denne gang.
Det var nærmest den slmlndellge
fest. Jeg havde for øle. VI, som sr
fødte og opvoksne i Norge, kan sld-
rlg glemme den norske Jul. Vore
kjæreste bsrndomsmlnder er knyttet
til den. Enhver sf os husker, hvor-
ledes vi glk og tslte dagene til jul,
medens de voksne hsvde det trsvslt
med st skure og vaske og brygge og
bage og gjør alt istsnd til festen. Og
da den store kveld kom, hvor for-
ventnlngsfulde og hølttldellgstemte
var vi ikke. Det var aarets største
time. Selv nu. mange aar efter, her
I det nye land, kan vi klart se i
mlndet. den hjemlige stue, med
Julekvælden. Og saa kom da Julens
festdsge med julebukke og gjeder,
besøg, kjøring og gjestebud.
Det vs r glade dage.
Denne jul har vi Ikke 1 Amerika.
Dertil er livet her over for haardt
og rastløst . Men vort folk har dog
tåget lidt af den norske Jul med sig,
og jeg synes Oslo-folket Ikke bør
stsa tllbage paa dette omraade hel-
ler. 81mdeføre kan vi neppe vente
os her. saa kapkjørlng og dombjælde-
klang fsar vi nok lsde fare. Men vi
kan feire Julen som kristen fest her
som I Norge. VI kan kaato arbeids-
aælen for en stund og tilbringe lidt
mere tid 1 hverandres aelskab. VI
kan da opfrlske Julemlnder frs
Norge, det vil glsde baade dem, som
førtæller, og dem. «om hører paa. Og
vi kan vise norsk gjæstfrlhed.
VI bør ogsaa have juletræ. Det
norske juletræ bør erobre Amerika,
som det har erobret Tyskland og
Norden. Det er Ikke let at faa fat
I Juletrær her. Men om vi samar-
beider, kan det nok lade sig gjøre.
Forresten ksn vi vel selv avle vore
Juletrær, om vi vil, endog af norsk
•cranfrø. Oslo Posten vil vist sørge
for st raa norskgranfrø til os, om
vi bad den om det.
Julen er glædens. haabets og
fredens fest. I<ad os feire den paa
ægte norsk vis, og det vil gjøre os
godt paa mange maader. I<ad Julens
sand faa sænke sig over vort vakre
nybygge, og den vil skabe samdræg-
tlghed og god forstaaelse. forjage
trætter og stifte fred, styrke samar-
beidet for fælles maal og kjær-
ligheden til fælles minder og I det
hele sprede lys og lykke 1 vore hjem
og vor bygd.
Hermed ønsker Jeg Oslo-folket og
Oslo Posten og sile andre.
En Glædellg Jul,
OSI.O—Dl!

Trip to the Northwest
(Continued)
From Tacoma the trip went south
ward, along the Northern Pacific rail-
way, through Pierce, Thurston.Lew-
is, Cowllts, and Clark counties and
crossed the state line Into Oregon.
Mt. Rsnler remained in sight for a
while, but soon Mt. St. Helena mon-
opolised the Interest of the traveler.
The scenery along the road was Iden-
tified with vast stretches of badly
msnaged timber land, and so far from
being attractive. It was a sight that
made people think of decay and dee-
truction. Land valuos were beyond
rea»on. and in spite of statements
from land companies and other boom-
ers, the country did not look pros-
perous. Way down at Kalama, a
rather large city In the southern part
of Cowllts county, located on the
banks of the Columbia River, the
landscape, however, took on features
of new interest. The river repre-
sents a large sheet of water, made up
by the Columbia. Spokane and Snake
Ulvers and other smaller water
ways. Along this river quite a little
farming was done and the country as-
sumed s more smiling and pleasing
nspcct, and this part of the trip
was very interesting. Vancouver, a
large town on the north side of the
river in* Clark county. Washington
had many things of Interest to ofTer
the tourists and. from here on. one
felt that he wss getting into the land
of roses. But the time did
npt allow close inspection of the
city. Portland was the next main
stop and there our editor arrived in
the afternoon. For the first time
since his arrival on the west coast,
he received an Impression of being
In a metropolis or a city, a city
which in beauty and neatness could
compete with any other city In the
United States. The hills were done
away with and the level, straight
streets, easy for transporting, were
predominant. Sky scrapers on both
sides of the streets all over the city,
without any special center In which
s congestion of sll business Interests
usually is the main feature. Wash-
ington, Oak, Morrison and Stark
streets were the main business thor-
oughfares. but the growth of the
business district showed a healthy
and sound policy. Coming into this
city our editor crossed the Willa-
mette bridge, a section of the North
Bank Rosd Railroad tract. This
bridge claims the title of "The long-
est draw span In the world." Many
fine department stores, office and ho-
tel buildings were seen everywhere.
Portland hotel with Its magnificent
wings claimed some prominence. The
Bosrd of Trade building with Its IS
stories spoke of activity In connection
with the world's msrksts. Lincoln
High School, the Yeon Building, the
Commerclsl Club building and the
Wells Fargo building were all struct-
ures which would hsvs been sn or-
nament to Chicago or New York. The
City Park was very attractive and
beautiful, covering a very large area.
In fact this park had many features
which excelled the parks of the cities
farther up, among which the alleys
or arches of the most beautiful
roses of many colors were not the
least attractive. All In sll the city hsd
s clean and artistic impression and
could justly be cslled the "City of
the Million Roses."
Our editor did not find his trunk
in this city before he left, but he
found something that wss much bet-
ter. He found a Norwegian, whose
name is well known to his country-
men in this country snd In the old
country, as one connected with the
Istest Improvements, smendments
snd acts in the msrltlme leglslstlon
of Norway. His name Is quoted In
the leading papers, representing the
merchant marine of Norway, and is
also well known to the foreign coun-
tries—Endre Cederbergh, Consul of
Norway. This man proved to he a
Norwegian of the old sterling quali-
