A man who has learned many valuable things by experience and who is not too narrow minded to share these facts with others, is L. L Brooks of northern Ben ton, known as one of the most progressive farmers of this or any other couotv. . Because of the manv inquiries sent him in regard to Black Rus sian oats which he has grown so successfully Mr. Brooks wrote a letter to the Pacific North west, published at Portland, giv ing the information requested. This letter is so practical and 1 uu of useful hints to farmers that it is given in part herewith, the re maining hall to appear in our next issue. It says: "I believe Black Russian oats to be the largest and heaviest yielding oats growa aay where on white land, This year we raised 6"4 bushels per acre. I will leave it to vou what they would do on the proper kind of soil. They grow with three grains in one mesh on extra good land. two on ordinary and oue m poor land. If tbey are sown early in fall they grow very rank, some times over four feet high. Oue fall I pastured 30 head of hogs and my band of Shropshire sheep all winter, and in the spring took the stock off. With this close feeding the yield was very heavy and the shocks were so vhick in rows that a team could not drive between them ia places. Many ask how late in the spring they can be grown. If before March 1st they will make oats, but not a heavy yield. If sown in the spring they will make pasture all summer and winter and furnish an extra heavy crop the next sea son. I never have had enough to supply the demand at a dollar a bushel. The reason tor this is that I raised the most of them with vetch and only had a few acres of pure seed. I only have about 50 bushels left this season and will be glad to send anyone some samples to experiment with for the asking. We get lots ol letters from Eastern people, ask ing which are the most paving crops in this section, and I be lieve clovers, vetch, Black Rus sian oats and artichokes. I know all of these pay, because I have tried them with good suc cess. Alsike clover is adapted to the flat wet white land ot this val ley. There are hundreds of acres of such land that is not producing anything except a little sheep pasture. If it w&s sown to aisike clover it would make from $40 to $60 per acre for seed, and then get more win ter than it did before it was sown to alsike. Crimson clover is nly a year ly plant, but it makes a heavy seed ctop, and grows on high dry clay points, and is splendid to plow nnder and build up tne land and when it is in bloom it is a beautiful sight to look at, being all a crimson red. A year ago last May I sowed a small patch on a poor clay point. It grew up just right .for pasture all summer and winter, and this spring had a very , heavy crop of seed-: After taking the crop off, it reseeded itself thicker than be fore. I am expecting a heavier crop of seed next spring than 1 got beiore. Another profitable crop is arti chokes. Cut them up and plant them in the spring, same as pota toes, rows three feet apart and eight to sixteeu inches apart iu the row. The richer the land the better the yield. Oa very rich land they: will yield 100 bushels to the acre. All stock like them bogs, cattle, horses, goats, sheep ami poultry. Cut some of them into small pieces, throw them into tnr chicken yard and tee tow ih chickens eat them.. Turn hogs and cattle iatoan artichoke patch in November. Tije cattle will eat the tops and the hogs the ar tichokes. My hogs and pigs have ben . digging them ever since November, and they keep in good growing condition. Some people are afraid to plant them because they think it is impossi ble to get rid of them, t If you turn stock on hem they will keep every leaf off, and that will kill them. In the spring plow the pitch good and harrow down and let it go. There is enough seed left in the ground to make a good crop year after year. Of course, dig what you need to feed all stock, but let the hogs do their own digging. It is better not to let the t:ogs in to root up the ground when it is toa wet, as it makes it bake hard. Oae way to helo ithat is to manure the ground heavy before plowing in the spring, which helps to loosen the soil. HE WON PRIZES. At Dallas Goat Show Alsea Man In Luck.

The de ceased was aged 72 vears, hav been r;orn Ocjpber 7, 1844, in Middlebury,: Vermont. H: was educated in New England aod in the Normal school at Albany, New York. He was married December 30. 1857, to Miss Ella Armstrong, and of the union eight children weie born, five ot whom are now living.

Tiie deceased alsa leaves 17 grandchildren. Throughout his long life, Dr. Thompson was prominently iden tified with educational aud min isterial work. For nearly 20 years the de ceased was head instructor in mathematics and astronomy in the University of Minnesota, and for a number of terms was elected to the school superintendency ol Hennepin county, Minnesota. Ia 1881 he moved with his family to Casselton, N.

The Alsea boys are having great sport these day hunting cougars and seem to be meeting with very good success. A tew days ago Dick Zihn, George Hockimeis, Will Stepson audi. P. Smith captured four ot the animals over in Alsea. The boys wre hunting and ran across a oest of baby cougars. At first thev were thought to be wildcats and two were shot before the mistake was discovered. After hunting a few hours for the mother, the hunt was given up until the next day. The following morning the hounds were put on the trail and in is minutes they had the ani mal treed. The first shot broke her iaw and the boys thought her dead but when she struck the ground it was soon learned that she was very much alive. Just what happened when tut cougar landed is not recordrd i - a story given the Gazette. It is surmised, however, that the hunt ers may have been up a tree also about that time, for the wounded animal ran 50 feet be fore being attacked by the d gs and finally dispatched by a weil aimed shot from some one's rifls. One of the cougar kittens was captured alive. It i probable Benton county will have the pleasure of paying for these scalps, in the near future. Alsea hunters are hard to beat, and their hunting stories are al ways gladly received by the Gazette and are read with pleas ure by all sportsmen. Special Notice.

Subject of Tuberculosis in Public Schools Plan Discussed, In a recent issue of the O.e gonion. there appeared an article referring to some suggestions, made by Governoi Chamberlain in his message to the Oregon leg islature regarding tuberculosis in connection with our public schools. There never was a time when so much attention was , given to the study, and preven tion of communicable diseases, as now. These investigations showing the causes of infectious diseases enaole us to institute measures for their prevention. The eduea tion of the public is of course of first importance so that they will know the danger of contracting these diseases if they are associa ted with them. The governor's suggestion that the course of study in the public schools should include text books on tuberculo sis, is certainly a step in the right direction for this will more rapidly and effectively educate the people at large than any other course that could be pur su d. As the students learn these facts they will disseminate them amon their parents and friends. At a recent meeting of the . State Beard of Health of Minne sota, Dr. Bracken submitted the following questions: ''Are you willing to aid in the control of consumption? If so see to it that those suffering from the disease are not employed as teachers; 1st, because they cannot hope to recover while following such an occupation; 2nd, because they are a menace to the school children under their care. See to it that children suffer ing from this disease are exclud ed from the schools: 1st, because their recovery is not probable if they are kept under the strain of school lite; 2nd, because the im portance of fresh air, rest and goodfood is greater for the grow- lag child than tor adults and tne child attending school does not get the necessary amount of these; 3rd, because close confine ment in school may be followed bv other kinds of tuberculosis than consumption, and may be followed by deformities or death ; 4th, because school children suf fering with consumption (pulmo nary tuberculosis) are a decid ed menace to their associates; 5th, Because by excluding them from school and allowing them to recover and at the same time pi eventing the infec tion of others, man lives of value to the state will certainly be saved." It would be well to include with the hyeiene of consumption, that of other transmissable diseases, and give them the same importance as other branches of study in the school. By educating the people in this way consumption as well as other infectious diseases could be brought more .nearly aider control. " ' JUt. . - ' . M - I - .
