The Poultry
The prices of poultry and eggs fol
low closely the trend of wheat prices
and of corn prices, tho two staple poul
try foods In the United States. The
tendency Is for poultry-keepers to cur
tall the flock of poultry when prices
of food are high, and to Increase the
flock when the prices of food are low.
When the grain prices rise more poul
try are sent to market, and later on
there la a scarcity of both poultry and
eggs.
The question for tha poultryman
and the farmer to consider In this
connection Is, at what prices of grain
doea It pay the farmer to market the
grain rather than feed It to the poul
try, for the business of the farmer Is
to get the most out of the soil whether
it be in raw or concentrated products.
It Is a flue point to determine just
where the prolit In feeding poultry as
well aa other live stock disappears In
the upward tendency of the price of
grain; In other words, at what point
Is (here a pardng of the ways between
a profit and a loss.
The general tendency among farm
ers la to se-U the grain, rather than
feed It, long before the parting of the
ways has been reached, and It Is a
knowledge of this fact that assures
tho skillful and persistent feeder of
a prolit. The parting of tne ways
comes very soon to the majority of
feeders. One man may be telling the
exact truth when he says that ho can
mako no profit in feeding seventy-flve
per cent wheat, and another may be
equally truthful when he says he can
make a profit In feeding one dollar
wheat. The difference In the two men
Is a difference In skill In feeding.
With good stock and good care the
skillful feeder will make a profit In
feeding high priced grain, but no oue
can make a profit with pKr stock and
poor care at any price for grain.
The price of wheat is nignor now
than It has been fur probably ten or
fifteen years, and It Is frequently said
that It Is too high to feed to chickens.
and with that notion, mistaken or not.
a good many farmers aro sending
their chickens to market.
Two or three things should be con
sidered 1h this connection. First, the
prices of poultry and eggs will rise
If many chickens are marketed, and
the fnrmer who keeps his chickens
will make as much profit as he did
when the price of wheat was low.
That Is. the price of poultry products
will adjust Itself to the prices of
grain. Second, how much does it real
ly cost to feed a lien for a year? Does
any one know?
In experiments mado by the writer,
covering several years, In which every
ounce of food was weighed, six pens
of Leghorn hens consumed during the
year 5CI pounds wheat, ZHti pounds
corn, 203 pounds oats, liz pounus
bran and shorts and 235 pounds of
skim milk, lu addition to some animal
food. The cost of tho total food per
fowl for the year varied In different
pens from 01 cents to 78 cents, and av-

SHEAHAN WITH WILLAMETTE.
Papermaker Assumes His Former
Position on West Side.
William Sheahan has assumed his
former position of assistant superin
tendent of the Willamette Pulp &
Paper Company. Several weeks ago
It became known that Mr. Sheahan
was to return to Oregon City and It
was assumed that he was to be super
intendent of the new Hawiey Pulp &
Paper Company, but It now develops
that George Pusey Is to have that po
sition and Sheahan has resigned as
superintendent of the Camas mill of
the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper
Company to resume his old position
with the Willamette Company. Scorea
of workmen will be glad to have h'.ru
return.
Machines No. 5 and No. 6 uf the
Willamette Pulp & Paper Compauy
have been shut down for about th.-re
weeks, for the purpose of changing
the generators from Mill A to
concrete building.
Feeding Value of Wheat
eraged 66 cents. The wheat waa
charged at 1 cent a pound, corn at
1 1-4, oats at a cent, skim milk at a
fifth of a cent and bran and shorts at
three-fifths of a cent. The animal food
cost from 5 to 6 cents per fowl. The
wheat constituted nearly a half of the
total cost
The hens laid an average of 144
eggs per fowl, valued at $1.68 at local
prices for eggs. The prices were from
10 cents to 25 cents per dozen, much
lower than the prices are In Oregon at
the present time. If wheat had been
worth say 90 cents and had been
charged far at that rate, and bran at
1 cent a pound, the cost per fowl would
have been about 16 cents more, or 80
cents Instead of 66 cents. But eggs

In place of eggs worth $1.68 per
fowl, If their value be computed at
present prices In Portland they would
be worth $2.59 per fowl. . In other
words, on the asls of present prices,
food costing 80 cents when fed to hens
produces eggs worth $2.58. This Is a
pretty good margin of profit In feed
ing 90 cent wheat.
It may be said that the average
flock of hens does not lay 144 eggs
per fowl. That Is true. It. Is also
true that 144 eggs per fowl is not
phenomenal. The right kind of hens
properly attended should average 150
and well-bred hens considerably more.
The average farm flock will not aver
age lfc, probably not 100.
In these experiments all the food
eaten was paid for at market prices
and the cost averaged only C6 cents
per hen. The cost would have been
only 80 cents if the wheat had cost
90 cents per bushel. The farmer,
however, who keeps fifty or a hun
dred of hens can do better than that,
for on the average farm that number
of hens may be kept largely on
the waste or by-products of the farm.
They will find the animal food In the
fields In shape of bugs, grasshoppers,
worms, etc., ani) there will usually be
skim-milk or butter-milk. There need
therefore be no cost for animal food,
WISE
BAD INDIANS
ARE THIEVES
ALBERT FARRI8 AND HIS DUSKY
WIFE STEAL COIN AND RING
FROM JOHANNA.
GET AWAY WITH $125
Man Enters Bedroom of Aged Woman
In the Dead of Night and Rifles
Her Trunk, But in the End
la Captured.
Constable Miles has returned from
Dallas, where he went lo bring to
this city Albert Farrls and his wife,
Louisa Karris, both Indians, who were
arrested by the Polk County authori
ties and placed in the county Jail.
They er accused of stealing $125 and
a gold ring from Johanna, an aged In
dian woman, who has been a resident
of Oregon City for years, living near
the home of Chief of police iiurns
Karris, with his wife and daughter,
spent several months of last Summer
In camp at West Oregon City. Their
horses were reported stolen at oDe
time, although It is generally believed
that the animals ran away and went
to the Grande Ronde. Later their
wagon wag destroyed by fire.
The Farrls family assiduously culti
vated the acquaintance of Johanna,
who is nearly 80 years of age. Grad
ually they obtained her confidence and
ascertained where she kept the key
to her trunk, which they suspected
contained her valuables.
One night, about five weeks ago,
Johanna was awakened by an unusual
noise In ber room, and saw Farrls
climbing out of her 'indow. She was
afraid to make an outcry, as she
knew Tarrls carried a revolver, and
the matter waa not reported to tne po
lice until the following morning. In
the meantime Farrls and his wife had
made their escape, taking with them
a gold ring of curious workmanship,
and $125 in silver that he stole from
Johanna's trunk. The daughter of
the pair had returned to the reserva
tion a short time before the burglary.
The two Indians made their way to
Salem, but before they could be ap-
nrehended. they fled to California.
The authorities were satisfied that
they would return to their old haunts
when their money was exnaustea,
which proved to be the case. The
daughter was watched, and Constable
Miles went to Sheridan, where he torn
the postmaster of the affair, and when
the daughter of Farrls received let
ters from her father, she took them
to the postmaster to read as she was
unable to decipher them, in tnis way
the authorities were Informed of the
whereabouts of the pair, who returned
to their home a few days ago and
were Immediately arrested.
resulting In a saving of 8 to 10 cents
per fowl. The clover or grass they
eat will have little marketable value.
The destruction of grass hoppers In
the clover and grain fields and of bugs
In the orchards, will, where these In
sects are bad, offset a large part of
the annual cost of food for the fowls
In bett?r crops.
In experiments with larger breeds
the cost of feeding was greater. The
cost of feeding Plymouth Rocks av
eraged $1.15 per fowl and of Wyan
dottes $1.00. This extra cost Is largely
offset when the fowls are marketed,
the larger breeds bringing more than
the small breeds.
HOME FROM ALASKA TRIP.
Two Girls Have Terrible Experience
on Steamer.
Miss Ivah Harrington, who has been
In Alaska for the past three months,
returned home last week. Miss Har
rington was accompanied to Alaska by
her sister, Miss Pearl Harrington, who
will spend the winter In Nome with
her sister, Mrs. John Coply, and
brother, W. Harrington. Miss Har
rington says that all of the work in
the mines at Nome has been sus
pended on account of the cold weather.
everything being frozen. When four
days out on the return trip a terrible
storm was experienced, and for a day
and night the ship was at the mercy
of the waves. The staterooms were
flooded, and the passengers had to
place their matresses on the floor, oth
erwise they would have been pitched
from the berths. During the storm
one of the passengers had his leg
broken, one his head badly crushed,
and several on the lower deck were
badly scalded. There were 3S2 pas
sengers on the steamer Senator from
Nome to Seattle on the return trip.
It took the steamer nine days to make
the trip. Mlsg Harrington says that
there are many interesting sights at
Nome, and has enjoyed her trip north.
She brought with her many beautiful,
as well as odd curios, and succeeded
In taking many pictures on the trip.
Among her collection she has a white
polar bear and red fox, mounted, skins,
Ivory, baskets and many other valu
able pieces in the curio line.
The Origin of the Printer's Devil.
Why is the printer's errand boy
called the "printer's devil?" A writ
er at the end of the seventeenth cen
tury explained It thus: "These boys
in a printing house commonly black
and daub themselves; whence the
workmen do Jocosely call them devils:
and sometimes spirits and sometimes
flies. It Is related, however, that
Aldo Manuzlo, the great Venetian
printer of the fifteenth century, had
a black slave boy, who was popularly
supposed to have come from below.
Accordingly, he published notice: "I,
Aldo Manuzlo, printer to the Doge,
have this day made public exposure
of the printer's devil. All who think
he is not flesh and blood may come
and pinch him."

8TELLA RAM8BY, OF SPOKANE,
COMMITS SUICIDE BY
DROWNING.
FORMERLY LIVED HERE
Content of Letter Make Her Shed
Tears and Cause of Suicide May
be Known When Body
la Recovered.
W'ord has been received in this city
by Mrs. Ana Nelson and Max Ramshy
that their niece, Mlsg Stella Ramsby,
uf Spokane, Wash., had committed
suicide by throwing herself Into the
Spokane river from the bridge that
crosses It. Miss Ramsby was the
daughter of the late Casper Ramsby,
and formerly resided In this city.
She was a prepossessing young wo
man about 19 years of age, and was
studying to be a professional nurse at
the hospital In Spokane at the time
she took her life, and was dressed In
the nurse's garb when she committed
the terrible act. Shortly before go
ing to her room she asked another
nurse at the hospital to accompany
her, but as the nurse was on duty at
that hour did not have the time to ac
company the young woman. Shortly
after Miss Ramsby left the hospital
unaccompanied, and the last seen of
her was on the bridge spanning the
river. She was seen at the same hour
on several nights previous conversing
with a young man where she commit
ted the act, and the day she committed
suicide she received a letter and was
seen crying. Upon being asked why
ahe was crying she remarked, "Oh, It
doesn't matter." The letter hag not
been found, but it is probable that it
will be found when the body Is re
covered from Its watery grave, and
the contents will Bhow why she killed
herself.
Miss Ramsby was always of a cheer
ful disposition, and was very success
ful In her work that she had taken'
up. Her death wag a terlble shock
to her friends and relatives. Her
mother, Mrs. Fields, formerly of this
place, but now of Longdate, Idaho, and
her sister, Mrs. Christopher Eubanks.
of Walla Walla, Wash., were advised
of her death, and have spared no ex
pense In having the river dragged for
the body. The river has been so
muddy that it has been- a hard task,
and the search will be kept up until
the body Is recovered. Mr. Eubanks,
brother-in-law of the deceased, waa
formerly connected with the Jones'
Drug Company, of this city.
NEW TEACHER FOR SCHOOLS.
Board of Directors Will Relieve the
Congested Condition.
i
In order to relieve the congested
condition of the public schools, the
Board of Directors has decided to en
gage another teacher for the seventh
and eighth grades, which are over
crowded. It Is probable that one of
the new rooms on the upper floor of
the addition to the Eastham builJIng
will be placed in order. The board
has several applicants in prospect and
the new teacher will be announced in
a few days.
The resignation of Miss Edna Cau
field as supernumerary was accepted
as Miss Caufleld has taken a position
in the promary department of the
Gladstone school. This place will not
be filled, but substitute work will be
done by students who are taking the
teachers' training course in the high
school. The compensation will be $2
per day, regardless of the salary of
the teacher who Is off duty temporar
ily. The purchase of 18 new desks for
the high school was authorized,, and
the board ordered telephones installed
In the Barclay and Eastham buildings.
For several years there has been a
private wire between these buildings,
but it has been of little benefit, and in
case of accident or emergency, of no
service whatever.
The clerk was authorized to place
Insurance to the amount of $2000 on
the new addition to the Eastham build
ing. When this work is completed,
all of the Eastham policies will be
changed so as to cover the old and new
parts of the building.
