OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY.
A man thoroughly competent for this po
sition and one who pursues the study of
these subjects for their own sake, is found
in Prof. F. L. Washburn. He is a graduate
of Harvard and post graduate of Johns
Hopkins University and has at different
times been employed by the government in
scientific work. On one occasion being de
tailed to make a collection of Northern wa
ter fowls and at another tirrie on bo"ard the
U. S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatros.
He has also visited the Bahamas, Africa aud
Labrador in the interest of his science.
The work of this department, like that
of agriculture, naturally separates itself in
to two classes, college and station. Col
lege work is devoted to instruction of stu
dents and station work to experiments with
insects and insecticides'.
The science of animal life in" getleral is
taught; particular attention being paid to
iusect8, such animals as are of economic im
portance to man and to the physiology of
the human body. This naturally divides
the instruction into three subjects, zoology,-
entomology and physiology.
3In the study of these, laboratory work is!
an important feature. Eich student is pro
vided with a dissecting board aud seven
good dissecting instruments consisting of
scalpels, scissers, forceps and bio pipe.
These instruments are quite expensive but
are furnished by the college to the student
who is responsible for their condition. Dis
sections of anim-j,!s areni ule for the purpo3 e
of giving a better uuderstanding ol the
references made in the text book. For the
same purpose there are ch irts representing
various forms of aniimls au.l ther dissec
tions and also niu-senir? case contenting
mounted animals. This is now an' impor
tant feature of the college and is constantly
growing.
It is the intention to procure specimens
of at least all the animals native to Oregon
as well as many other.-".
-The student is required after having made
a dissection to make a drawing of it. Per
sonal association ii the laboratory aud oc
casional examinations enable the instructor
to thoroughly acquaint him3cjf with the
work 2nd knowledge which the student has
of the subiect iu hand. All instruction is
gi yen by recitation on text book and. ieCi,
tures, and by laboratory Work. Tha text
book used in Physiology is "Martin's Hu
man Body." An understanding of this sub
ject is greatly assisted by a manikin, an in
geniously constructed chart showing all the
parts of the human body.
A cat is dissected in order to obtain a bet
ter idea of the typical structures of mam
mal which can ba conveniently procured.
In this the student must trace out the
alimentary, nervous and circulatory or
blood systems; also point out the organs of
excretion and generation. In addition to
this they are required to dissect a sheep's
heart aud the eye of an ox, to get a better
idea cf the anatomy of these' two? organs in
man.-
A limited number of microscopes do not
admit of an extensive study of the tissues
or microscopic structures. However the
student is instructed iu the use of the com
pound microscope aird how to care foi the
san:-3. Additional microscopes have been
ordered and the study of the tissues in this
way will be an important feature of the
course in physiology. Other' laboratory
work consists in demonstrations to illus
trate the circulation and composition of the
blood, chemistry aud mechanics f respira
tion, refL-x actions, etc.
In Zoology the student points out he
wiirm svstem' as in 1V.1 vsioloiy using asl
Bpoeisiiemc'is the earth worm, clam, cray
fish, st ir fijii an I fro.;. A c unpai-iaon is
ni,lo cif these tvnio .1 ahim ils to disooTer
bow each oni perforin its functions' in com
parison to aiiini lis of a higher order. Us
ing tl! result of thts.3 observations as a
hutis. cl:i3.'ioitimn are rank Reference
is constantly hsl to the museum specimens
iu order to illustrate types an 1 characteris
tics.
As a text bok "Orion's Comparative
Zoology" i admirably adapted to the work.
But the student is taught to rely not too
much on the boofc. Independent observa
tions aud oiigiual treatise are by far the
best way for thu etu.kut to familiarize hiirr
sclf with the life ami characteristics of an'
animal.
The use of "Packard's Entomology for
beginners" is preceded by the dissection of
a typical insect, such as the grasshopper,
thai the student may study the structure of
insects from the insect itself.
What is learned in this way is used as a
basi3 that the classifications may be better
understood. The subjects are treated the
same as in ztoology.
This subject (entomology) is taught in the
spring term since insect life is more plenti
ful then than at any other time during the
school year. E-ich student of entomology
is required to make a collection of the more
common insects of the state.-
The methods of destroying injur
ious insects and how to apply insecticides
are practically illastrated in the field work.
A specialty is made of the study of the life
and nature of insects t determine which-
are beneficial aud which injurious in agricul-
i ire.
The work of the Station is taken up by
correSponde'iice with farmers, in forming'
collections, in experirdsiital work with in
secticides and in putting iuto bulletin form
the result of such work. These bulletins'
are distributed free' of charge to' those who'
desire them.
The collection of. moths, beetles etc., con
tains something like 250 specimens. This
is regarded as simply a beginning.
Work in the Farmers' Institutes is mainly
in the way of lectures to farmers on those
insects which are nseful arid injurious to
crops, and on the best means of getting rid1
of the latter.
This department is desirous of obtaining
information regarding insect pests together
with the methods' used to destroy them.
Any specimens of uncommon or peculiar
insects or any other animals are gladly re
ceived. Wells-Fargo Express Co., has1
kindly consented to carry anything address
ed to the "Museum of the Agricultural Col
lege " free of charge. All that is lacking
then to give this College a most interesting
museum is the hearty co-optration of ther
peopFe of the state. A small contribution
from here and there, although small, helps
to make a great whole.
Death of Mrs. IUue. In Sa:i Francisco,
January, 22, 1891, the death of Airs. Emma
Rice, occurred, at the age of 33 years'
and 6 mouths. Mrs. Bice, as is well kuowri
in this couuty, was the second daughter of
Judge A. J. Thayer,' who, during many
years' of his life, was a resident of this',
county. Recenty Mrs. Rice went to San'
Francisco to undergo a surgical Operation by
which she hoped to obtain relief from a
tumor which had caused her much suffering,'
aud which, unless removed, would cause'
death in a short time. The extreme danger'
of the operation was realized but she decid
ed to submit to it and death was the lesult:
The remains will arrive in Corvallis Satur
day, a'nd on the' following day will be in
terred in Crystal Lake cemetery beside'
those of her father who departed life some'
years ago. Mrs. ltic was a lady possessed
of much more than ordinary intellectual at
tainments, and her conception of the obli
gations due individuals, one to another, was'
highly creditable to her. She graduated'
from the Agricultural College in 1874, with4
J. il. Brysbii; Thos. H. Crawford, E. H.
Taylor and others. In 1878 she was mar
ried to Sylvester XV. Rice, since which time'
she has been a resident of Portland. The
near krn'dred: which' survive her are a son,
mother, sister and brother, .all of whom, at
this sad time, can rely upon whatever com
fort there is iu a heartily sympathetic conr
munitv. At Job's Theatre. Comrade R. O.
B.ites has beer, engaged by Ellsworth Post'
No. 19, G. A. R. to deliver Sis famous lec
ture at Job's Theatre next Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. This story requires
two evenings or iu other words, two chap
ters. The first irifrht is devoted to giving-'
the historical facts of passing through sever
al Southern prisons, vividly portraying the'
sufferings of our noble boys in blue. The'
second night will give the finale of the trip
of the Union lines to Washington and home?
giving the interview with President Lin
coln and their stav of eight days in thtf
Vhite House. Our exchanges, wherever'
Comrade Bates has lectured, speak of hitf
lectures in the highest terms. The lessons'
that are taught of what a man can endure,
should be stored away in the youthful mem
ory of the rising generation to euable them
to grapple with- a stronger tenacity the'
events of our couHtry yet to come. Thl
subject matter it a part of our nation's
history,- but it is a rare opportunity to listen'
to a person who has himself experienced the'
trials 6f prison life. This may be the last,
as the veterans of '61 are fast passing away.

Parlor Meetin-g. At the parlor meeting
at Mr. Nash's house last week, the subject'
for discussion was "How ITatfonaliHin pro
poses to deal with the Liquor Traffic". Irf
consequence of unavoidable absence Mr.
C. G. Hogite' prepared a paper on the sub
ject; explaining how drinking would be de-'
creased by the' government holding the sa-'
loons hi its1 owu hands and limiting the'
number to-one to eaoh medium sized city?
depriving that; ' one of screens and all ad
juncts that help te render the s iloon com
fortable and attractive, leaving a bare room'
for nothing but' the sale and consumption of
the liquor, the customers quitting when
their business was' completed. The liquor
should be sodil by an agent of the govern
ment who has no interest whatever in the'
quantity sold, being paid wages for the'
time employed. The law as it now stands
concerning the hours for closing, including
the Sunday, together with the selling to'
minors, sliould be rigidly enforced. Up
wards of thirty' people were present, many of
whom' took an active part in the discussion.'
which followed. It appears that a similar
plan ha'3 been tried in Gothenburg, Sweden,'
for mauy years with considerable success;-
