i THE SUNDAY OREGOKiA PORTLAND, "NOVEMBER 30, 1902. x v A FARMERS' SCHOOL With Some Non-Agricultural Attachments. LOW COST OF LIVING Remarks on. the Dlficaltr of Slain. taininK the Industrial Idea In Education, "With Perti nent Illustrations. By a Staff "Writer. Eleventh Letter. CORVALLIS, Or., Nov. 29. I have been greatly interested during the past two days in looking over the work of the Etato Agricultural College, and of the agricultural experiment station here. The school Is not a new one, having teen founded long ago, but it has within the past few years taken on new life, and it bears today in every department and as pect the mark of an abounding vitality. Between the etate and the general Gov ernment it Is fairly well provided for so well, in fact, that during the past few years enough has been saved out of its current appropriations to build the mag nificent Agricultural Hall, which was ' opened with Impressive ceremony a few weeks back. It is distinguished from every other school In the state by the fact that Its main purpose is Industrial rather than academic It Is not strictly a train ing school, for studies of academic culture orm an important part of its work, but Its most prominent courses and its gen eral atmosphere are Industrial. The existence of this school as an Inde pendent establishment is one of the good effects which have come out of our bad habit of distributes the state patronage upon consideration of geography. There have been repeated and very earnest ef forts to consolidate it with the State .Uni versity, at Eugene, and there were times when the thing was almost accomplished, but the local sentiment of Corvalllrf and her Legislative pull happily proved too strong, for nothing can be more certain than that if the school had been moved to Eugene and tacked on to the univer sity. Its distinctive character would have been lost and with It many conditions of vital Importance In Industrial educations In California and elsewhere where Agri cultural Colleges have been made attach ments to purely academic colleges or uni versities, the result has been fatal to the purposes of the former. In the Agricul tural College here there are upwards of 400 students, of whom about one-third are taking the purely agricultural course, while at Berkeley in a state with five times the population of Oregon the agri cultural classes contain never more than a scant banker's dozen students. And these are so plagued as "hocoJers" as to be made ashamed of their connection. Everywhere the combination of academic and training schools is found to breed mis chief to the latter, for the academic spirit always preponderates, and by its preten tions and social Influence, falls not to destroy the atmosphere which, is the bet ter half of Industrial education. And know ing this to be true. I have wondered much during the past two days if, relatively too much Is not being made here of the academic 'side of the system. It would be very easy to do It. Your professional educator is always in his heart in sym pathy with the academic as distinct rom.; the industrial idea, and nine times out of .ten he leans, even when least conscious of It, to the scholastic as distinct from the industrial side of his work. I hope there is no splrltjiere which tends to exalt the literary classes above the training classes but I am net quite sure about It. My attention has boon given very largely to the work of the experiment station carried on in connection with the state farm adjoining the 'college grounds. The farm itself is not very much too small In that it contains a fraction less than SS acres, and inferior In that It Is meetly of "white land." which Is cold and hard to . work. There Is this merit In it. however, that results attained here are not likely to he abnormal, and there Is no question that they can be duplicated anywhere else. The experiment station Is weak, too. In its poor and Inadequate building and In supply of fJtock. There ought to be CO cows instead of less than 20. and the feeding pens of hogs and sheep ought to contain hundreds of animals where there are now tens. Ore does not have to be an expert to see that the work of testing feeds now going on would be vaotly helped by such an equipment of animals and gen eral facilities as would cnabl- many klndn of experiments to be carried on concur rently. In view of the very limited facilities I have been surprised to note the variety and thoroughness of the work in progress especially in the line of animal husband ry. At present, for example, feeding ex periments are going on designed to de velop the value in dairy practice of soil ing cows with and without supplementa ry concentrated feed; also experiments with hogs on vetch and clover; also ex periments with whole and ground feed with a view to discover the effect upon animal weight. An experimental fatten ing of swine conducted for the purpose of determining the quantltybf wheat neces sary to produce one pound of live weight during the past few months shows that it required an average of 4.25 pounds of wheat to effect a gain of one pound of live weight in C or 8 months' old pigs and 5.51 pounds of wheat to produce a like result in matured hogs. I cite these instances by way of Illustrating the work which the Experiment Station is doing. I could but see that the methods which are most careful and precise were embarrassed by lack of facilities and by the limited num ber of animals subject to experimental operations. The work ItselT Is of the most valuable sort precisely to the hand of every practical farmer of the state. The results of the poet year's work have not yet been put In shape for publi cation, but I have been permitted by the director to look over his flics and from these I have gathered 'the following gen eral facts concerning the operations of the station during the past year: In the agricultural tllvlslon, systems of rotation of crops have been continud.varletal tests of cereals, grasses and other forage plants have been made. An initial experiment with alfalfa on heavy clay soil has been undertaken by sowing It broadcast and in drills, 30 inches apart, the common and Turkistan varieties are being used. Gypsum has been applied In varying amounts to vetch and clover to determine Its influence and value on crop" produc tion. Considerable work has been done with early maturing varieties of corn to determine If thla cereal can be profitably grown here, more particularly as a fat tening food for swine. Co-operative work In soils and testing red clover seed has been conducted with the bureau of chem istry and bureau of plant Industry of the National Department of Agrlcultlure. The work in steaming silage the past year has been conducted on a practical scale. The station has treated approximately 30 'tons each of clover, vetch and corn in this manner. In the department of dairying a large number of Individual tests have been made for the purpose of obtaining data respecting the variation jn fat content of morning and evening mllkings; to deter mine Its variation with different systems of feeding and during the normal period of lactation. Considerable work was also done in throe large commercial creamer ies to determine the reliability of the com posite test for testing cream dally varia tions In test of cream as ordinarily deliv ered at factories whether cream should bo weighed or measured volumetrically in making fat tests, and best method of tak ing the test sample. The chemical department is one of the busiest In the establishment. In addi tion to a large amount of miscellan eous work Incidental to station In vestigations, such as analyses of, soils by request of farmers and orchardlsts', deter mination of soil moisture, etc., the lines of work previously undertaken by this department have been continued during the past year. This Included investiga tions in silage, requiring a large number of chemical analyses; experiments with fertilizers for prune trees; preliminary work in hopdrying to determine best method for conserving a maximum amount of lupulln; Investigation to de termine the loss of plant food from soil leaching under different cultural methods and systems of cropping; prune evapora tion, requiring some 916 chemical deter minations and a number of experiments with sodium chloride as a substitute for sulphur for bleaching evaporated apples. A vast amount of miscellaneous work has been done by the Department of En tomology during the past year. Conspic uous examples being the investigations of insect pests qf fruit trees, including the depredations of the. Xyleborus dlspar, bac terial Infection of strawberry plants and fungus diseases of tho roots of growing wheat. The principal endeavors of the department, however, have been confined to the Investigation of the Italian prune, curl leaf, apple scab, and other work of this general character. The work of the Horticultural Depart ment has been mainly confined to practi cal problems confronting the horticultural interests of the state, consisting of field work In investigations relative to the influence of different stocks in "the ulti mate development and prolificacy of the tree, culture methods, cross pollination, observations In the keeping qualities of a large number of varieties of apples and pears, top grafting, and the Individual constitution of trees of given varieties. Much useful work, both practical and scientific, has been done by the Depart ment of Bacteriology during the year, comprising experiments on a practical scale in the utilization of waste prunes for vinegar by the agency of ferments, ob servations In temperature variation of silage treated with sodium chloride, de terminations of pathogenic and nonpath ogenic germ infection of milk when fed to the cow, and Investigations of a num ber of bacterial diseases of domestic live stock. The principal co-operative work with farmers has chiefly consisted In the grow ing of. forage plants. .'"Work of this class J has been carried on with H farmers. In addition to this, co-operative work be tween horticulturist and the XepartnjfintR effort to test the ?i?fficiency .of . different spraying' mixtures for " controlling insect and fungus pests. I have set forth these details because they exhibit far more effectively than I could by any mere descriptive recital the range of the work in process here. The results I have not attempted to give; and for these I refer those Interested to the re ports and bulletins which are available upon application, to the station authorities. However, as an' example In dertiil of this work I will give the results of one test In connection with the clover produce of the station farm: An acre of green crimson clover, cut and fed in May. 3902. yielded 4G,7S3 pound?. It was found that the cows consumed 73 pounds each day. Thus It will be noted that the acre supplied C23 feeds for one cow. An acre of vetch cut In July yielded 8212 pounds of cured hay. Estimating that a cow will consume 20 pounds of hay per day. this acre supplied sufficient hay to feed one cow 110 days, or the two acres produced ample rough feed to supply the wants of three dairy cows for nearly one year. In June, 1902, several acres of red clover were cut for the silo. The average yield of green clover was 25.C48 pounds per acre. Estimating that a cow will con sume 75 pounds of green clover per day this would furnish one cow with feed for 331 days. The second crop was cut in Au gust and yielded r.000 pounds of cured hay per acre, or sufficient to feed one cow 150 days, while the two crops would sup ply the 'rough feed for one cow 4S4 days. These results were secured under ordi nary farm conditions, on land below the average quality of the. Ave millions of acres in the Willamette Valley. Practi cally the same results can be secured on a very large area In Eastern Oregon with alfalfa. A complete summary of the crops pro duced this year (1902) on the Experiment Station farm of 85.92 acres, devoted to general mixed farming (exclusive of ex perimental plats) may be of interest to farmers. The figures are not great, but they are Instructive In that they show what may be done even on poor land with forage crops. The summary is as follows: Hay. consisting of clover, vetch, alfalfa and mixed grasses, 72.54 tons. Green feedit comprising crimson clover, red clover, vetch, alfalfa and corn, 14C.2G tons. Straw Wheat, oat, barley, rye, emmer, vetch, and rape, 41.59 tons. Corn stalks, 1.50 tons. Wheat, 317.40 bushels. . Oats, 530.69 bushels. Barley. 13.56 bushels. - Rye. 12.S3 bushels. u ' Emmer (spelts). 447pounds. '.' Corn and cob, 2300 pounds. Vetch seed, 2256 pounds. Potatoes, 2012 pounds. Rape seed, 1836 pounds. Pastured 45 sheep: It Is enough perhaps to say with refer ence to the professional organization that the practical work of the farm Is sup ported at every point by the work of the laboratories.. Everywhere I found both Industry and enthusiasm In a work which a"ll feel to be vitally connected with the Industrial progress; of the statc. A great step will be made when the new agricul tural hall shall.be occupied, for Its fa cilities are vastly better than those now afforded by the scattered establishments of the experiment station. And another step will be made when the station shall be given the facllltiesf-the buildings, pens and liberal supply of animals essential to operations on a large scale. A. H. PASSING OF OLD PIONEER Martin Van Daren Mann Dies in a Salem Hospital. Martin Van Buren Mann, who died in a Salem hospital November 24, was born near Terre Haute, Ind., January 18, 1837. When he was 3 years old his Darents re moved to Missouri, where he spent his boyhood and youth. In 18C0 he was mar- I ned to Elizabeth Cooper. Seven brothers and two sisters, all of whom are ploneera and prominent citizens of Oregon, sur vive him. Miss Cooper's father. Rev. E. W. Cooper, was for 40 years a Baptist minister In Missouri and Oregon. On April 16, 1SG0, Mr. Mann and ,his bride started out on their long honey moon, a trip across the plains and moun tains to California, where they arrived September 6, 1SG0. After about three years' residence in LESLIE I KEXTUCKIAX RECENTLY APPOINTED MINISTER TO GUATEMALA. California, chiefly at Watsonville, Mr. and Mrs. Mann and their two little girls, born In California, came' to Oregon to join Mrs. Mann's parents, brothers and sisters in a land where crops were more certain and titles more secure than un der Mexican land grants. They settled on a farm In the Eola Hills, near Zena, upon which Mr. Mann llyed continuously for 40 years. There were born to these happy parents six daughters and two sons, as follows: li - ,i r the -urrrijii of Pendleton; Miss Frances, oi aoise, Idaho; Miss Viola, deceased' in ,1899; Mrs. Balm Mann Hodgson, of San Francisco, and Miss Ann Mann, of Unalaska. Mr. Mann's last illness, which was of long standing, was borne with the for titude and patience of the pioneer. The funeral took place Tuesday at, 2 o'clock at Spring Valley mectlng-house, at Zena, and was "attended by all his old friends and neighbors. , STORY OF INDIAN MAIDEN Legend of Beautiful Wahexnn, Who AVns Killed by Her Lover. Baltimore American. Acrcfs the Pocomoke River from Snow Hill In Maryland Hes Indlantown, and a sale of land in that village recently has, brought to light a legend and superstir tlon which has been handed down from generation to generation of the dwellers In the nelehborhood. Where the road leading from Snow Hill to Sallaburj Is joined by anotht-r which leads up Into the depths of a pine woods stands what would seem to a casual observer only an ordi nary, brush heap. Between the piles of branches and twign, however, is a small mound and beneath the mound, lie the whitened bones of the Indian maiden Wa hema, who died by the hands of her lover, Waspasson. son of Waspasson, the great hunter of the tribe of which Weatomoto nles was Queen the Weatomotonles who owned vast tracts of land from the ln dlcn River southward and the Pocomoke westward. The suitors for the hand of Wnhema, It Jo said, were many, and Waspasson. the son of Waspasson. the friend of Wea tomotonles. was the one to whom the heart of Wnhema had gone forth, but, as ras been the wiy of maidens both before and since the day of Wahcma. "in public her face was averted and in anger she named his name." One day as she stood in the twilight an arrow from an unseen bow pierced her heart. Falling, she grasped a twig, which broke in her hand. With the strength that sometimes comes to the dying she pulled the arrow from the wound and the twig fell across it. Thus she was found. They burled her where she fell, and the twig that was across the wound was placed over the mound, nnd one bv one the young men and maidens of the tribe broke a twig and threw it on the heap. The custom was kept up by several generitlons of Indians, until It became a superstition that to omit the simple ceremony in pass ing mecnt a failure In whatever might next be attempted, while faithful atten tion augured success. The legend and the superstition were handed down to the white settlers, and the custom has been kept up by them and their descendants to this day, and thereby "Indian Heap" has been perpetuated. .That it Is not like ly to go down Is attested by the fact that in the record, of "Worcester County It Is named as one of "the boundaries of a tract of land in Indlantown.

FenivM for Safety of the Dnwson City nnd General Sitflln SEATTLE, Nov. 29. The Times today says: Grave fears are held for the safety of at least two of the Nome overdues the steamer Dawson City and the schooner J General Slglln. The Corwln brings word that the steamer leaving Nome for Dutch Harbor on October 29 had not reached that port on November 20, nor had she been heard from, so far as known; The Dawson City expected to land party of eight prospectors on the Behring Sea coast of the Alaska Peninsula, and proceed through Unimak Pass around to Cook Inlet, and thence via the Inside passage to Seattle. Felix Brown, owner of the vessel, was a passenger on the craft. Nothing further had been learned of the overdue General Slglln. She was last reported on October 13, headed for Dutch Harbor, but up to November 20 had not arrived. GIVEN UP AS LOST. Wreelcnfife Seen Which Ik Relieved to lie BnnnocUbiirn'j,. CHICAGO, Nov. 29. A special to tho Record-Herald from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., says: The steamer Bannockburn, with her crew of 20 men. Is given up for lost by local marine men. The report received last night that she wan ashore near Mlchlplcoten seems to be without founda tion. The belief that the steamer has met with disaster Is strengthened by the i I fact that the steamer Rockefeller, which ; arrivea iiere iouay, reported passing through wrecttage off Standard Rock. This Is supposed to be from the missing boat. The accepted theory Is that the Bannockburn foundered In mid-lake and went down, with all her crew. Wreck Ik Identified. CHICAGO. Nq . ?

On the Cowlchan River, in British Co lumbia, when fishing for rainbow trout, I used often to be bothered at evening time by the wild ducks which came whizzing low up the river's course like a flash. Upon one occasion my falling flies fell right upon the back of one of these birds, but I contrived to snatch them off again without tho flies catching. On another occasion I waa not so suc cessful. Having fleen some salmon In the clear, green water I had, when fishing with a young fellow named Robertson, started trying to catch one with a min now. When slinging out a heavy Devon minnow with my grilee rod It struck one of these ducks as It came whizzing round a corner, and away the bird dashed with my bait up stream like lightning. I ln ntantlv turned the point of the rod In the direction in which It was going, but It tore the line off the reel like a salmon for quite a distance before It fell into the water. Luckily. I had on a strong new salmon spinning trace. Once the wild duck fell Into the water it dived, and for the next half hour, while Robertson pursued It In a boat. I played it from the shore. ,We near ly lost It once or twice, owing to Its get ting under eome logs, but at length Rob; crteon got It in an exhausted condition in the landing not, tnd It formed a. welcome addition to our backwoods dinner, "With reference to catching wate,r rats I once waa fooliah enough to cast at water rat but never again! My point fly stuck Into that little rodent and with it he dived into a hole In tho farther bank, Of course, I broke my cast trying to pull him out again. I was formerly, frequently, when ftfhing at a place abroad where there were a quantity of snakes that used to swim across tne river, in ine naoit or enntlnir Must for nractlce at their heads. the only part visible as they swam. How ever, the fly, even when It struck the head, would never stick In, and I do not quite know what I should have done with the snake If It had. Recaptures are often just as curious as captureo.

Tlt-Blts. Old Sandy C , who used to collect the mining royalties for the Duke of Hamil ton, was a bit of a wag. One day Sandy was late for his train for Bo'ness, and the only way he could catch his connection was by walking across the line. A cer tain gentleman informed Sandy that It was useless, for him to attempt to cross by the railway, as there was a watchman sta tioned at the camp bridge wha would al low no one to pass over it, "What sort o countryman Is he?" in quired Sandy. "An Irishman," was the immediate re Joinder. 'well, responded Sandy, If he is an Irishman I'll get over," and straight away he went. Coming up to the bridge, Sandy espied'! the Irishman coming out to stop him, but before Pat had got time to breatne Sandy gasped out, "I beg your pardon, sir.
