Plan Show to Arouse
Interest in Poultry
Medford Tribune: The suggestion
that Medford hold a poultry show
during the month of January next
has met with prompt and enthusias
tic approval by all who are interested
in poultry and the improvement of
poultry stock generally throughout
the valley. Not only those who raise
poultry, but persons of observation
who realize that something should be
done to stimulate interest in that in
dustry in Jackson county, favor it
without exception.
The plan will be to make the show
essentially educational, both In the
matter of improving the stock in or
der to obtain the best possible results
ly poultry raisers and in the effort
to create a better market for the
larger output of the poultry yards.
This can be done most effectively
by concert of action under a common
understanding of methods between
those interested, both in the produc
tion and in the work of establishing
the market. It will serve to over
come the embarrassments of the hap
hazard system If it may be called a
system now extant in this valley.
The plan suggested is to give poul
try raisers abundant time to prepare
their stock for exhibit, to obtain
speakers on popular poultry subjects
from various sections of the state, to
secure the services of expert incu
bator managers who will explain in
structively the best and most eco
nomical uses of the various makes of
incubators and breeders in relation
to the production of healthy chicks
with the minimum of loss, and, in
a general and specific way, to teach
the beginners how to make poultry
pay.
It will stimulate interest in the in
dustry as no other equally inexpen
sive method may do. It will teach
the value of the best breeds, how to
maintain the choicest strains and the
Important difference between the
fancy family of premium producers
and the scrub breeds. It will serve
to overcome the prejudice commonly
existing against so-called "fancy
poultry" breeding for it will show
that the fancy chicken is, after all,
only the best chicken in the matter
of yielding profit, and that anything
less than that is a scrub.
San Francisco, which is a greedy
market for all of our poultry farm
products, now ships from six to ten
carloads of poultry from the east
every week. Isn't that an anoma
lous condition, when we consider that
one of the best informed and most
practical poultry authorities in the
state declares that Rogue River val
ley is one of the choicest regions on
tho continent for raising healthy
chickens that produce the maximum
yield of eggs in a year? He cites the
fact that every essential condition in
poultry production exists here in
prime form and It is his official
business to know, for he is connect
ed with the agricultural college at
Corvallis and chicken raising Is his
specialty.
T. J. Gardner, hoad of the Medford
Poultry Company, and one of the best
Informed men in the state on "poul
try from the n to the market," de
clares that Rogue River valley should
easily reap the profit on the ship
ment of at least one carload of fine
poultry a week from this point, and
declares that be will do his utmost
to make he proposed poultry show a

ringing success from every point of
vantage.
"If our farmers would only keep
account of the expense of maintain
ing a flock of chickens and turkeys,
numbering from 100 to 500 to each
farm throughout the year, and then
note the proceeds of sales therefrom
comparing the income to the outgo,
there would be a poultry yard, well
bout ami carefully handled as to
breed and strain, on every farm,
said Mr. Gardner, in discussing the
matter with a Mall Tribune man.
"What our farmers need is a little
technical instruction, combined with
practical demonstration of results,
and the best, most economical and
effective way to give it is in the an
nual poultry show that has become
so popular and meritorious through
out the Beveral states. Every district
of consequence has its annual meet
ing of poultry people and exhibit of
their stock, together with figures of
profit and loss, and the reason why.
That gives the show an educational
feature that can't be duplicated any
other way so simply, practically and
usefully."
The matter of making preliminary
arrangements for the poultry show
is being taken up enthusiastically by
these interested, including the busi
ness houses of the city and the indus
trial enterprises of several points in
the valley, all of whom have been in
terested to the extent of expressing
a readiness to give attractive premi
ums for best exhibits, ranging from
goods and merchandise to real cash.
Everyone approached insists that it
must be made a "go" and a success.

WAKING DREAMS.
A Long Serlea of Eventi Can 8
Crowded Into a Few Second.
It is more than likely that the great
majority of dreams belong to tbe few
moments wben we are falling off to
sleep and tbe equally brief time we
take to wake up. In fact, nothing is
more fully established than the fact
that an apparently long dream can un
fold itself In an infinitesimal space of
time.
Alfred Maury relates how be had a
long and vivid dream of tho reign of
terror in France, which Included his
trial before the revolutionary tribunal
and his execution. lie uctunlly felt
the guillotine fall, let thut dream
from beginning to end was actually
caused by the fall of a curtain rod
which struck him on the neck and
woke him up. Tbe whole lengthy
dream lasted really a couple of sec
onds. A well known writer in London was
sitting up lute writing something lie
much wished to finish. Suddenly some
one came into the room and announc
ed that he was called to go to Man
chester, lie went out and packed his
bag and went to that city, where he
stayed several days nnd saw innumera
ble people, ne returned in due course
and transacted a lot of business lu
town and actually contracted for and
started a new book.

SPOILED HIS FISHING.
An Angler's Abrupt Departure From an
Uncongenial Visitor.
An easterner was spending his first
summer in Montana, says the Wash
ington Star, where he had a good op
portunity to indulge in bis favorite
sport of trout fishing. One afternoou
he had been unusually successful, but
Just as he was setting out for camp
with a heavy string of fish he caught
sight of a great pine that bad blown
down and was lying with its top in
the water Just the place for hooking
a monster trout
Pushing along to the fallen pine, he
climbed upon it by dint of hard scram
bling, holding on as best he could with
his rod in one baud and his string of
fish in the other. The tree was close
to tbe bauk, and the stream was run
ning bank full He was in the midst
of the branches, crowding onward,
when suddenly an immense bear rose
up close beside him.
There was no hesitation. To run
was impossible. On the impulse of
the moment the man dashed his strlut
of trout full in tbe bear's face. In do
ing so he lost bis balance, and the next
instant there was a tremendous splash.
and he disappeared in the rushing
water.

A Plank's Inside and Outside.
There is nu inside, also an outside, to
every plank or board, the outside be
ing the side farthest removed from the
"pith," or center, of the tree from
which the plank was cut. The careful
workman always bears this in mind
when fixing boards. He leaves the out
side exposed to the air. If the inside
is exposed to the atmosphere the ear
lier layers will ultimately shell out in
shreds and strips owbig to the action
of the air destroying the timber's co
hesive properties. As a result the even
surface will be destroyed, a serious de-

Origin of Comets.
Professor Klis Stromgren. director
of the Copenhagen observatory, has
carried out. with the aid of J. Braae,
au investigation to determine whether
comets come originally from interstel

posed, or originate within 4he solar sys
tem, nis method of research involves
the backward computation of planetary
perturbations for eight comets. The
conclusion reached is that all comets
heretofore observed have originated
within the solar system.

SPORTS
Predictions and Forecusts.
Roscoe Fawcett, sporting writer
for the Portland Oregonlan and ac
knowledged authority in the north
west, indulged in a regular Beals
stunt of forecasting previous to last
Saturday's football games, and Is
much elated over the various out
comes, which proved his predictions
to be .750 per cent correct. Friend
Fawcett fell down hard on the Oregon-Michigan
Aggie game, however,
since his 21-7 defeat for O. A. C. was
more than reversed. But every done
artist in the northwest fell down on
that game, and as a matter of fact
Fawcett came about the nearest of
the bunch, so why should he worry?
This prediction business has an
appeal all Its own, and here is where
we take a shot at it. We will predict
that Washington university will claim
the northwest (championship; that
Pullman will dispute the claim; that
the Oregon-O. A. C. game will not be
called off on account of rain; that, if
Junction City high school plays As
toria the latter will win; and last,
but not least, that if "Climax" Dels
man plays in the Medford game the
referee will be all worn out from
chasing down the field behind the
Ashland team. The only prediction
about which we are a little leary is
the last. We would not be the least
hit surprised if the referee worked
up a good appetite for dinner even If
Delsman was to suffer a stroke of
sunstroke.
AVhy Xot Try Numbering?
The numbering of players is meet
ing with approval in the east. We
would suggest that Ashland and
Medford try the innovation in the
Thanksgiving conflict here. A crowd
of several thousand people is antici
pated and the game would' be much
more interesting to the rank and file
of the people who can not recognize
their neighbor's s,on , when he is
dolled up in football togs, if identifi
cation numbers and line-up cards
were furnished.

A Few Comparative Scores.
The old problem of how much tin
would it take to make a star for a
Talent policeman if coca colos sold in
New York for thirty cents a flock, la
simple when compared with making
a comparison of two football teams
merely on the basis of comporative
scores. But how is this for a start
er? Washington State College beat the
Oregon Aggies, 29-0; the Oregon Ag
gies beat the Michigan Aggies, 20-0;
the Michigan Aggies beat Michigan,
24-0; ergo, Washington State is 73
points better than Michigan and the
Oregon Aggies are 44 points superior
to Yost's crew.
Investigating further, Syracuse
beat Michigan, 14-7, and Princeton
beat Syracuse, 3-0, bo Washington
State College has a 63-polnt margin
over Princeton. And Princeton beat
Lafayette 40-3 and Lafayette beat
Pennsylvania 17-0.
And remember, too, that Cornell
Is rated as only 13 points better than
Princeton, as shown by their scores
with WillianiB. Cornell beat Wil
liams 46-6 and Princeton beat Wil
liams 27-0. Yet Cornell defeated
Harvard 10-0. So, on comparative
scores, Washington State College is
50 points superior to Cornell, 60
points superior to Harvard and 64
points superior to Yale, gauged by
Washington and Jefferson scores
with Yale and Lafayette.
Of course these comparisons are
merely fanciful and Syracuse may
upset goo all over the horizon when
this strong eastern eleven comes to
Portland December 1. But, in the
meantime, the edge seems all to be
with the teams from the far north
west. Scratched train crews and dead
engineers are a thing of tbe past on
the O. W. R. & X. lines.
