AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK NEWS
Up-to-date Information to Help Develop Progressive Fanning
Hog Demonstration.
Mr. Wiley Maxwell of Lane county,
living near Eugene, was a co-operator
with County Agent Whitney and the
live stock socialist of the extension
service of Oregon Agricultural College
in showing the value of skim milk for
hog feeding. '
In the demonstration twenty wean
ers weia used. They were of the O. I.
C. and Chester White breeding. In
.addition to the milk from eight cows,
the pigs were fed grain. The average
weight at the beginning of the demon
stration was 59.7 pounds, and at the
end of .119 days they averaged 220
pounds in weight, at the average age
of six and one-half months. This had
been put on at the rate of 1.35 pounds
per day. "
The grain fed was barlfey, wheat and
corn with some screenings. A total of
9300 pounds of grain was fed and 7200
pounds of milk. It required 289
pounds of grain and 224 pounds of
skim milk to produce 100 pounds of
increase in weight. It is safe to esti
mate that the 224 pounds of milk saved
100 jounds of grain in the production
of each 100 pounds of gain-
The grain was- charged for at farm
price and the milk rated at thirty
cents per hundred. Labor, interest
on investment and depreciation on
equipment were charged for beside the
grain and milk fed.
The twenty pigs brought $513.58.
The total expense was $249.63. The
profit was $263.95, or $13.20 per hog.
The selling price for the pig3 was on
the basis of $11.10 per cwt. at Eu
gene. ,
This demonstration showed clearly
the valu'3 of skim milk for -hog feed
ing. It also showed what good, thrifty
pigs will do. Mrv Maxwell is an ex
cellent ffiHprl TinH (rru-iH Tirtcrtj nnH

will go a long way toward making tire
farm pay-
Potato Mosaic Threatens Industry. '
"Will Oregon be growing any po
tatoes at all in fifty years from now,
I wonder," said Dr. Link, pathologist
of th3 federal department of agricul
ture, as he surveyed the havoc dis
ease is making of many Oregon potato
fields.
A careful survey ofr western states
made last summer, shows that Tinfass
adequate measures for eradication of
potato mosaic are immediately taken,
all hope of potato seed improvement
In this region will become so difficult
as to be practically impossible- This
disease is transmitted about the fields
by insects and from one generation to
another through seed tubers.
"Mosaic, as well as wilt, is a potato
disease that shows up in the growing
yvine, and may be combatted Iby stak
ing vigorous, healthy vines for next
year's seed tubers," says M. B. Mc
Kay, in charge of potato disease in
vestigations at the O'. A. C. experi
ment station. "From these staked
vines the best type of seed potatoes
is seieurea ai lime oi digging.
"Now is the .time to stake these
healthy vines while they are green and
still growing, and easily distinguished
from th"3 diseased plants. Both wilt
and mosaic may be eliminated or
greatly reduced by this first selection,
and final selection later may deal with
the question of yield, size and form of
tuber, and diseases that show in the
tuber."
Losses h$ mosaic in the east run
about thirty per cent, but in fields
having more than ten per cent mo
saic control by roguing out is not ad
vised. Susceptible varieties cannot fcM
kept mosaic-free when grown within
a few rods of mosaic plants infested
with aphis. Where aphis is present
roguing is of littte or no value in mo
saic control. It has not been deter
mined what insects spread the dis
ease in the west.
Light Factor In Poultry Houses.
Light is an important factor in a
poultry house. It is well to place win'
dows in the rear. The front should be
Paft about half open in order to pro
vide the proper circulation. In winter
a curtain, pulling up from the bottom
may be used to advantage in partially
closing the opening. O. A. C. EXperi
ment Station.
Pasteurizing Milk.
'Milk for ordinary uses and for in
fants and children may be successfully
pasteurized on the farm. It is not
hard to do and requires but little
equipment. A deep pail with a per
forated false bottom is the best uten
sil in which to heat the milk'. An in
verted pie tin with a few holes punch
ed in it makes a very good false bot
tom. A good thermometer is also need
ted. Milk is very easily pasteurized in
bottles. .Fill the bottlse almost to the
top with the milk and place the cov
ers on, punching a hole in one of them
for inserting the thermometer. S'et
the milk in the pail and fill with cold
water nearly to the level of the milk
and heat until thei thermometer regis
ters 145 degrees F. Remove the paii
from the flame, allowing the milk to
remain in it SO minutes, replacing if
necessary to maintain the temperature
of 145 degrees F. Next replace the hot
water with cold, gradually, until the
temperature of the milk is down to 50
degrees, using icte water if necessary.
Place it in a refrigerator and keep at
that temperature or less.
Milk is a dangerous carrier of dis
ease germs. Serious epidemics have
been' traced to the milk of one farm.
Among those diseases which may be
spread by milk are scarlet fever, ty
phoid Paver arid diphtheria The bac
teria causing these diseases may enter
the milk from contaminated water
used in washing milk utensils or from
persons handling the milk who have
been exposed to the disease or who
carry the germs in their own bodies.
Pasteurizing kills albout 90 per cent
of the milk germs-
Traning For Fanm Business.
"Training men and women to go back
to the farm is the most important
service the school of agriculture at O.
A. C. renders to the state," says Dean
A. B. Cordley. "These trained men
and women are capable of becoming
leaders in their rural communities.
Approximately 80 per cent of the agri
cultural graduates of the college are
engaged in some phase of agricultural
work and more than half of this num
ber are actually farming.
"There is no greater fallacy on earth
than to assume that a farmer or an
engineer needs nothing but vocational
or occupational training. It is an in
sult to the great farming and industri
al professions of our state to assume
that their leaders do not need and do
not want to be broadly and liberally
trained; that they are not concerned
with the affairs of the state, the nation,
and tlfe world.
"An agricultural and mechanical
arts college ought to give students pre
paring for, these professions as thor
ough training in the technique and
technologies and all aspects of the
business life connected with these pro
fessions as lawyers and doctors re
ceive at colleges of law and medicine
for their respective professions. It
ought, in addition, to give its students
as thorough training in language, lit
erature , history, science, economics,
and citizenship as any body of profes
sional men any place can get or are
getting from any educational institu
tion."
Chicks Should Roost Early.
To get chicks to take the direction
one wants them to go, we must make it
impossible for them to go anywhere
else. The way to train chicks to
roost early is to prevent them getting
into a corner;' make them get up in
stead of under.
Multitudes of chicks are smothered
by piling up, especially chicks of the
feather-legged breeds. One preventive
is to cut off the corners with a piece
of board or stout tin.'
Another way is to put low roosts in.
Four or five roosts broad enough for
the chicks to rest on comfortably and
placed low enough so that they cannot
crowd: under will in a short time be
come their choice for a night's lodging.
The claim is often made that crook
ed breast bones are caused by too
early roosting. The right kind of a
roost will not make a deformed breast
bone.
Set Red Raspberries In Autumn.
Red raspberries thrive on almost any
tvpe of loam soil. Upland, sandy, or
clay loam soils are good if they are
well drained. Clay loam usually gives
heavier yields. The moisture content
of the soil is more important than the
soil. The soil must be well drained,
must retain moisture, and must never
be surfeited With moisture. A reason
able fertile soil is desirable and a lib
eral supply of humus is a great aid.
Young plants may be set out in the
early autumn when six to eight inches
high. A northern or northeastern ex
posure is to be preferred for the' plan
tation but is not essential. It will
do "well on any exposure. The cooler
and shadier the spot, the finer the
berries will be. O. A. C. Experiment
Station. -
. . Poultry Need Exercise.
Requirements for a well planned
poultry house are suitable location,
avoiding exposure as much as'possible,
fresh air free- from drafts, plenty of
floor space for exercise purposes, plen
ty of roost space to prevent crowding,
equipment such as drinking fountains
and mash hoppers in such places and
in sufficient quantities that the fowls
will have access to them at all times',
and the proper arrangement of doors
and windows to make cleaning out'
the litter as easy as possible. O. A. C.

Removal Of Stains.
How to remove stains from silks and
other materials successfully is explain
ed by Miss Emma Skinner Weld, in
structor in household administration
at the Oregon Agricultural College.
Most stain removers are alkalies or
acids and make holes in linen and silk,
although they bleach the stain.
"The main essential is to prevent
the ring forming during the process
of removing the stain," said Miss
Weld. "Even professionals are not al
ways sure of being successful in re
moving stains and preventing rings."
Natural silks, such as pongee and
china silks, that are not weighted to
make them appear heavier, can be
washed in warm . wafer with a mild
high-grade laundry aoap to remove
light stains.
. Pure grease stains on cloth may ,be
sponged off with chlorform, ether or
gasoline. A clean cloth pad should Ibe
placed beneath the stain to absorb the
grease as it comes through. Sponging
with alcohol in a rotary motion to
avoid formation of rings, will remove
grease stains from kid slippers.
Soaking in sour milk is the best
remedy for ink stains. The commer
cial ink eradicator can be used suc
cessfully on wash materials. Oxalic
acid is excellent to remove stains and
can be used on silks if greatly diluted.
India ink is almost impossible to re
move from cloth. However, If grease,
crisco or lard is put on white wash
cloth when the stain is fresh and the
cloth washed in kerosene or in a thin
soap paste, most of the stain will
come out. A bar of mild soap, shaved
and melted in a gallon of water makes
an excellent soap paste-
One of the oldest recipes known is
that of Cocka Leekie Soup, handed
down to us six hundred; years ago from
Scotland."
Wash and trim one dozen leeks, cut
in pieces, discarding roots and tops;
then fry them In one ounce, of butter,
with two stalks of celfery and one car
rot, cut fine. When.ibrown, add one
and one-half cups of chicken broth and
one cup of cooked chicken, tout into
dice. Slimmer two hours, then add
salt, pepper and yolk of an egg. Serve
hot,
This dish was a grteat favorite with
the lovely Mary, Queen of Scots.
Camouflage Ice Cream.
One cup milk (boiling), one tabler
spoon of gelatine, dissolved in one
tablespoon of cold milk; three-fourths
cup sugar, one pinch salt, yolk of an
egg ibeaten, add above to the boiling
milk and 'boil until thick. When cool
add the beaten white of one segg.
One-half pint of whipped cieani, flavor
to taste and mold in separate molds.
A marechino cherry placed on top of
each mold improves the appearance
and sprinkle of nuts if you wish.

Blackberry Jam Cake
One cup of sugar, three eggs, one
half cup of butter, scant; one cup of
blackberry jam, on'e and a half cups
of flour, one teaspoon of soda, one
teaspoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon
of nutmeg, four tablespoons of sour
cream. Add cream' and soda fast.
This is a good; layer cake put together

Ho To Bake A Fruit Pie.
Juicy fruit pies present unexpected
difficulties to the home cool, owing
to their tendency to ' become soggy.
Specialists in the experimental kitch
en of the United States Department of
Agriculture have found, in the course
of pastry baking experiments, that if
the under crust is prebaked luntil
slightly brown, the pie will be much
better. Another point brought out in
connection with pastry making, es
pecially in warm weather, "is that
speed in handling is an important fac
tor if the housewife does not wish her
dough to become soft and consequent
ly difficult to roll and lift Josephine
