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

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:

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.

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.

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

met with disaster Is strengthened by the i
I fact that the steamer Rockefeller, which

FISHING FOR DUCKS.
This
Angler Also Took a
Rats With a Rod.
Turn at
London Field.
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

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,

the only part visible as they swam. How
ever, the fly, even when It struck the

quite know what I should have done with
the snake If It had.

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

"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
