THF, SIOBNISG OBEGONIAN, SATURDAY. JUNE 9, 1900. RESULTS OF OBSERVATION AGRICUITURAIi EXPEKtSCEITT STA TIC ISSUES BULLETIN. Sqrsbsm Raising Coapealtlea of Stravrberrles Coat and Cempo- sitloa of Bread. -SALEM, June 5. The Oregon Agricul tural Experiment Station has issued a bul letin, giving the results of various chemi cal experiments and investigations. The bulletin is compiled by Professor G. TV. Shaw, chemist. The first subject treated is "Sorghum for Syrup." On this sub- . ject. the report eaya: "r, , ri.t i. , ., On the completion of the work with SLtf tJ .LL7ere , t(Lr I vesj.gate the possibilities of growing sorghum for syrup-roaklng in certain Dart of the state. The work was begun in the Spring of 1809. during which season a auan- I tlty of seed was distributed in the state, especially in Jackson and Umatilla Coun ties, -where it was thought the conditions would be most suitable for the crop. In each of these counties eorghum had been grown on a -very limited scale for a num. ber of years, and a crude syrup had been made for home use. No attempt had ever been made to ascertain the real quality of the cane, as compared with that pro duced elsewhere. The seed employed In these experiments consVsted of Minnesota Early Amber cane, purchased of Mr. Seth Xinny, Mbrristown. Minn., and the follow ing varieties of pedigreed Southern-grown seed furnished by the United States De partment of Agriculture: Early Amber. Brown Colman and Folger'e Early. None of the Southern-grown varieties matured, but the Minnesota seed seemed quite well adapted to the Oregon conditions. The season' was altogether unfavorable for the experiment, and for one reason and another of the 79 to whom seed was sent 51 failed to forward samples. In most of these caees the cane was killed by a quite general frost, which occurred on or about October 2 In both Eastern and Southern Oregon, which is quite an unusual occur rence so early In the season, especially "lh Jackson County." The results of the analyses of the canea are presented in a. lengthy table, and the bulletin, continues: "The results show that a fair quality of sorghum for the purpose of syrup man ufacture can be produced In Jackson County and probably In certain parts of Umatilla County. Experience of growers in the former shows that in ordinary sea sons the early varieties of sorghum will well mature, but in the latter locality there will be much uncertainty as to the maturing of the crop. Under the present condition It is Impossible to estimate the coet of the crop and the profit realized from it, but the most reliable estimates show that the cost of the syrup, ready for market, does not exceed 30 cents per gallon. Mr. E. H. Davis, of Table Rock, Jackson County, reports that from a lit tle less than one-half an acre he obtained 56 gallons of eyrup. W. "W. Estes states that from one-fourth of an acre he ob tained 22 gallons of syrup." The bulletin then discusses the chemical composition of strawberries. It is stated that there has been published but one bulletin treating of the competition of strawberries, and that In the annual re ports of the stations there Is but one reference to the subject. The results of numerous experiments are given, and. for the sake of comparison, the following averages obtained by other workers are given, together with, the average of. all the Oregon experiments: Konlg. Stone. "Webber. Europe. Temn. Ohio.

Comparing the mean of the averages ot the American analyses with the Euro pean as to the relation of acid to sugar, it appears that In the latter the ratio appears as "1 to 7, while in the former It stands as 1 to 5. If this be compared with the ratio for wild strawberries, as stated by Fresenlus, 1 to 2, it Is seen there has been quite an improvement brought about by selection and cultivation. "From the above analyses it is seen that the strawberry cannot be considered as a very nutritious food, carrying but little over 10 per cent dry matter. Straw berries have even less food value than tn flesh of stone fruits. In a general way they may bo stated to approximate vegeta bles In their nutritious properties, which may be seen from the following table: FRUIT OR VEGETABLE. Fresh prunes (Oregon; all prunes). Fresh prunes (Oregon,: Eetltes).... Fresh prunes (Oregon; Italians)... California (all prunes) Plumsr (Callfttrnia).'. Cherries HOregon)?."-. Cherries (California) Potatoes String beans Turnips Strawberries (Oregon) A limited number of dietary studies have been made In this country to ascertain the effect of a liberal use of fruits and vegetables on the coat of living, and In this connection the results are Interesting. Tne results of these experiments show the liberal ues of either fresh fruits or veg etables lncreasete the cost of living out of proportion to the nutrients furnished. However, it should be remembered that the value of an art Id of diet should not be measured entirely by the nutrients, as some foods undoubtedly have a certain medical and mechanical effect in stimulat- lng the appetite and counteracting any tn1onrv tn vinMn.iilnn hv infrnHiiHntr tendency to constipation by Introducing into the system beneficial vegetable acids In pleasant and agreeable combination with water and sugar. No fruli equals the strawberry in this particular. Though containing a relatively small amount of nutriment, strawberries offer in this a very valuable article of diet, and have a de servedly wide use In the American house hold. An analysis was made of strawberry ash for the purpose of determining the proper ingredients of fertilizers for strawberries. The conclusions are as follows: "Strawberries draw heavily on the side of potash and nitrogen, the former conBti- tuting about two-fifths of the entire ash. Any fertilizers used on strawberry plants should be relatively rich In both potash and nitrogen, and I would suggest the fol lowing combination and amount per acre: Pounds. Nitrate of soda 200 Muriate of potash 250 Dissolved bone 100 "It should be borne In mind that no tr-Lmlfl. r1. .. )v. 1,M n- ,n tt,l MOt. r;r r ,::.,, :" r;,r,; " T.r tcr of fertilizers, as conditions are so variable, but the farmer must keep in j mind the general principles and use his Intelligence in applying them to his con ditions." One of the most Interesting subjects treated in the bulletin Is the "Cost and Composition of Bread In Oregon." This part of the bulletin Is as follows: "During the year 1S99 analyses were made and data collected under the direction of the writer, to ascertain the cost and com position of breaa in Oregon. The study was made for the purpose ot gaining some j doubles and Alls the system with the vig datafor making comparisons, with siml- j or of health. lar erperinrsnts conducted elsewhere, as "well as to ascertain the relative cost per pound of the various nutrients contained in the bread. "The samples -vrere collected from differ. cnt parts of the state. Including both Eastern and "Western Oregon. In each case Inquiry was made as to the claimed -weight of the loaf, but in many Instances j no definite weight was claimed. In most laboratory, approximated very closely with the claimed weight. In a few In stances the actual weight was found a little greater than the claimed weight. "The samples represented the bread as actually sold to tho consumer, as in no in stance did the merchant know for what purpose the bread was purchased. Tho moisture determination was made as soon as the bread reached the laboratory, and much care was taken to protect the loavei i ,. lZ? "L1?01" . aiier ?"?: from loss of moisture after purchasing.

"The variations in the composition of bread are chiefly due to two causes, a) the i riCa. carrying 362,394 bushels of wheat and variation in the composition of the flour ! C6,90i barrels of flour. The wheat shlp ussd, which may cause changes in two dl- ments were as follows: recuons, ia in tne amount of water that may be absorbed by the bread, and CM I In the proportion of protein, fats and car- ! bohydrates; (2), the different methods used . by bakers in making the oread. In some I cases only flour, yeast and salt are used, . lard, either alone or In combination added. The average composition of the bread as purchased and found by analysis is stated below: Water J5.S1 Protein 6.75 Fat S3 Carbohydrates 55.26 Ash 1.38 Total 100 "The widest range Is seen to be In the fat, which varied from trace to L73 per , ........ .-.- ...u . ., u. .j,. cent. This variation In the fat of bread ; is considered to be due partially to certain changes which it undergoes In the process of baking, rendering the fat nonextractl ble, perhaps In some cases destroying It. The results obtained for 1L 2L 22 and 25 are too low to be due to any brand of I flour. The water content varied from 29.0G in sample 8, to 39.80 In sample 20. The difference in the moisture content is prob ably due -to the different absorbing -power of bread made in different ways. "In the case of nrotein there Is not so wide a range, and the difference in this respect io probably due less to the method of making than to the difference in the composition of the flour. It is interesting to note that the breads made from Eastern Oregon flour have a higher per cent of protein than do those analyzed from West ern Oregon. This Is of greater interest, since It tends to confirm the results that have been obtained in analysis of flour from these regions by Mr. E. J. Lea, of this department.

Portland stands about midway ' between these two. bread being purchased there at an average price of 4.3 cents per pound.

The British ship County of Merioneth arrived out at Cape Town Thursday after a fairly good passage of 6 days from this port. The County of Merioneth was the last vessel of the present season's fleet to leave Portland, and, with the exception of the Blythswood, which put Into Valparaiso disabled, all of the fleet has arrived out.

OLD-TIME CLIPPERS SOLD. City of Hankow and City of Delhi Have Jfevr Onaerg. The British ship City of Hankow, one of the fastest and finest of the old-time clippers which formerly made frequent trips to Portland, was EOld a few weeks ago to parties in Sydney for the compara tively small sum of J15.000. The City of Hankow Is a composite vessel, built before the days of tramp steamers to carry tea from the Orient to England.. In this trade she made some rattling passages, and years later she made the run from the Columbia to Europe In Si days, which Is very close to the record. On another voyage she sailed from the Columbia to the equator In the Atlantic In 75 days. The vessel !a upwards 40 years old, and this accounts of t for the low price at which she sold. er new owners,' however, will undoubtedly get their money out of her on about one rouna voyage. She is now under charter to carry-coal from Newcastle to Honolulu at 24 shillings per ton. This will amount to about 312,000, and she can secure a lumber charter back to Australia from a Pacific Coast port at a rate which will amount to fully $15,000. She is a very good lumber carrier for her tonnage, hav ing taken over 1.000,000 feet from Puget Sound to Australia on a former voyage. Another ship of the City line also well known In this port Is the City of Delhi. This vessel was reported on berth at Liv erpool for Victoria, but news was re ceived yesterday that she had been sold to the Germans and would be replaced for the voyage arranged for by the" British enip iiaia. MORE FAST PASSAGES. TCerean aad Colony Sail & Close Race in Excellent Time. Close races and flying passages continue to be the rule with the Portland grain ships, and the February fleet is keeping up the reputation made by the January and December ships. The British ship Colony and the German ship Nereus both reported out at Falmouth yesterday In 114 and 115 days, respectively. The Col ony la a very fast ship, and seldom makes a slow passage. She left the Columbia less than 24 hours behind the Nereus, and a glance at their logs would undoubtedly show that over certain courses of their 17.000-mlIe run there was some pretty fast sailing done. There are but four of the February ships still out, the Saint Enoch, Jules Verne, Chile, and the unlucky Mar garetha. The Glenholm, which sailed on January 2, Is spoiling the average pas sages for that month by making a very long trip, with one or two others which sailed the same month still loitering on the way. Marine Notes. The German ship Neaila Is progressing rapidly with her loading, and will finish this evening. Captain Joseph W. Spencer, who built the famous clipper ship David -Crockett, dsed in New Tork City May 23. His fa mous ship was well known all over the world, and left some records that have never been beaten.

Mrs. Stanford Goes to Earope la Search, ef Sculptors TVorlc Pro gresses ea BalldlBga. STANFORD TJNrVERSITT, June 5. (Special correspondence.) The large and strong century class, the favorite of fac ulty and student body, has passed through the great memorial arch ot this young giant institution Into the world, leaving a vacancy In many lines of student activ ity which it will be hard to fill. The commencement this year was the closing ceremony of a "Senior week" which eclipsed the efforts of any previ ous fourth-year class. The farewell con cert by the Glee and Mandolin Clubs; the dedication of tho monument in Tionor of Stanford volunteers; the varlbus recep tions in lionor ot the seniors given by Mrs. Stanford and President Jordan; the faculty-senior baseball match, when the blg"preeident plays first base; the senior farce, baccalaureate sermon; class-day exercises of many features; commence ment ball; alumni day ceremonies and the beautiful promenade concert, when the vast Spanish quadrangle is transformed Into a veritable illuminated court of hon or, attracted visitors and friends of the 150 graduates from far-away places. Particular Interest centers in this com mencement, as the best-known and pop ular men of the class and of the college, those who will be most sorely missed, hall from Oregon the state which sends more men who become powers in Stan ford College life than any other. The three seniors who have brought the state's name so prominently before the students here are Frank Branch Riley, of Port land, whose major subject Is economics and sociology; Chester Griffln Murphy, of Salem, whose specialty, was law, and Lloyd D. Wlckershanv of Portland. who was graduated In electrical engineer ing. Riley served his college In a variety of ways, and he will be greatly missed by all classes. As "the Glee Club star" he won wide popularity all along the Pa cific Coast, from British Columbia to Mexico, by his clever monologue and solo ist work on the 'Varsity Glee Club. Al together, ho appeared In over 250 concerts for his college, given In every Important town and city. During his senior year he was leader and' president of the club, conducting it on one occasion, through four weeks in the South, on the most successful tour in its history. He wai also the president of Sword and Sandals the college dramatic and bohemlan so cietyand was the leading figure in the various college theatricals. He was a reg ular contributor to the -university publica tions and served as associate editor of the college annual the Stanford Quad and of the Stanford Sequoia and the Dally Palo Alto. He was a prominent society and Greek-letter fraternity man, telng a member of the Theta Phi Epsllon (sophomore), Sigma Sigma (Junior) secret societies, and the National fraternities of Zeta Psl and Phi Delta Phi (legal). Murphy, the athletic hero of the college, was a prominent figure throughout his course by his superior work on the foot ball, baseball and track teams. His gen eralship and all-around ability as a quarter-back In his first three great intercol legiate games won him the high honor of captain in his senior year. His repu tation "was that of one of the cleverest and most brilliant players who have ap peared anywhere in the Union. In base ball he was equally prominent, being a feature In every game In his three last years. He won his track 'varsity "S" in his freshman year. Murphy was one of the leaders in the social and fraternity life of the college, being a member of of the class societies and of the Zeta Psl and Phi Delta Phi. Wlckersham was the president of the century class of 150. This position of honor and responsibility he filled well, and to him largely is due the great suc cess of this year's commencement week, which he conducted with skill and dignity. He was an able debater, and served his college as president Alpha Debating So ciety, member of Intersoclety and Inter collegiate Debating Committees. He was a member of the student body executive committee, secretary of the Associated Engineers, a director of the Enclna Club, and held various other positions. The era of new buildings is well be gun at the university, and the only sounds of the campus now are the ring of the chisel on stone and the noise of the BUDply trains coming and going from the quarries. An army of builders and sculptors are at work on the Memorial Church, the stonework of which costs $250,000, and other buildings, Including those devoted to the natural sciences. The contract for the new chemistry build ing has just been let. It will cost 3100,000 and Is the first structure except the mu seum to he placed from about the inner quadrangle. A beautiful new postoffice building will be ready for occupancy July 1. These are all being constructed in har mony with the general scheme of Jesuit Mission architecture. Mrs. Stanford will leave this week for Europe, where she goes to engage some famous sculptors who are to ornament the memorial arch and church and other edi fices. The various departments of the univer sity, particularly law and engineering, are being strengthened by the advent of many new professors and assistants, secured In the East and in England. The entrance requirements have been raised to a level with those of the largest Eastern insti tutions. An unusually large number of apr plications for admittance have been made" and the freshmen class In September promises to be very large. The Son's Corona. Professor F. H. BIgelow In Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. There are many existing theories to ac count for the phenomenon of the sun's bright appendage, called the corona, which is visible only during eclipses, on account of the absorbing effects of the earth's at mosphere on Its light. Is It electrical, or Is it magnetic? Is It composed of fine stuff-ejected from the sun, or of meteoric dust falling upon tho sun? Is It merely an optical effect, as some suppose, or is It a portion of the newly discovered ra diant matter streaming off to enormous distances into space? The answer to these questions Is eagerly sought through ob servation, photography and every other possible means, on the occasion of each total eclipse. The efforts of astronomers have thus far secured a series of pictures of the solar corona, "which, when compared to gether, show very distinctly that the corona, as well as the spots, the protub erances, and the faculae, are going through a series of changes which seem to repeat themselves In the so-called 11 year period. It has also been proved, with entire distinctness, that the earth's mag- rnetlc field, as marked by the changes in intensity of the magnetic elements. In the auroral displays, and the earth elec tric currents show variations which syn chronize closely with those observed on the sun; also that the weather elements of pressure, temperature, precipitation and storm intensity all harmonize with tho solar and the earth's magnetism In the same synchronism.

It has been shown that the mag netic lorces having the characteristics Just mentioned impinge upon the earth in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the earth's orbit. Just as if the sun, being a magnet, throws out a field of force to the surface of the earth, which, by its variation depending upon the In ternal workings of the sun. produces the changes just enumerated in the earth's atmosphere and In its magnetic field, also throughout the planetary system, being, of course, strongest near the sun. The belief is gradually growing amon scien tists that the earth, the run, and the planets are all magnetic bodies, and have these bonds of connection between them In addition to the Newtonian gravitation. This Is a most fascinating field of re search, and, though .full of difficulties, yet attracts the attention of many who are convinced that one of the most press ing duties of the hour Is to clear up the problems connected with the transmission of energy from the sun to the earth in other forms than the ordinary or sun light radiation. It is entirely probable that the secular variations of the weather changes from year to year, and even from month to month, are bound up with these solar forces, and that the solution of these questions will carry with them much Information of practical use to civ ilized mam PERSONAL MENTION.

Mr. Allen would like to stay longer In Portland, but pressing business at home compete him to hurry, so he will leave to morrow morning for San Francisco. Mate. Good Words. It grows In low -woods, which are called Yerbales, and It has provided tea from time Immemorial. The Indians were using It In South America when the Portuguesa first settled there, but It derives its name Jesuit tea and mission tea from the fact that the Jesuit missionaries, who went out to convert the Indians, were the first to cultivate It, and thus seek to Improve its quality and flavor. The leaves are prepared for use as fol lows: The leafy branches are cut down, usually by small companies of Indians; they are then roasted, and when thorough ly dry the leaves are stripped oft them and ground down Into a coarse powder. Afternoon mate tea Is served somewhat differently to our afternoon "pick-me-up." The cups are made out of the dry hollow gourd-like fruit, the size of an orange Each has a circular hole at the top, a3 large as a florin, and they are often silver mounted. To make the tea, sugar and a little hot water are put Into each, a lit powdered mate Is added, and then the cups are filled with boiling water. An additional flavor Is sometimes given by adding burnt sugar and lemon juice. The tea Is not drunk directly out of the cups, but Is sucked up through a narrow glass tu"be, thus the mate dust does not enter the mouth. We should probably find this tea rather disagreeable and bitter, but those accustomed- to drink It are devoted to it, and there Is no doubt that It is a most excellent restorative and a mild stimulant. It has the further advantage of being a most economical tea, for at least three good brews of tea can be made from the same portion of mate. The first brew, perhaps, excels in flavor, but It lacks something of the stimulat ing power of the latter ones, and all three are equally without any Injurloua effects, for mate has no tannin in It.
