Pride of Multnomah."
The Pride of Multnomah Is one of
the standard varieties of potatoes
grown in Oregon. It hac been grown
In Oregon for seven years, and many
experts regard it as in every way the
best potato for western Oregon. It
has been shipped to all parts of the
United States for seed purposes, and
only excellent reports have been re
ceived. Its signal honors, won In
California, now give it official recog
nition as the very head of the list.
This potato Is well known among
most Oregon growers, and Is popular
because of its heavy yielding quant
ties, H3 uniformity and Its fine grain.
It is an ideal baking and boiling po
tato. It Is also famous for its keep
ing qualities.

Chinese Ways of
Hatching Eggs
How his rival In the egg business
gets the hatching done may be of ln-
terest to the egg- producers of Ore
gon. For the orthodox two ways in
j Oregon those of setting a hen or
! buying an incubator are often too ex
pensive for the Oregonian's rival,
l who thereupon nas recourse to-one of ;
several methods. .
I The rival is the Chinaman, who in
1914 exported 32,874,127 dozens or
fresh and preserved eggs and 16,693,
600 pounds of albumen and yolk, to
all countries. There were received in
Portland, for example, between Octo
ber 3, 1913, and August 31, 1914,
3 0 f , 4 2 0 dozen of Chinese eggs.
There are few chicken farms in
China, but nearly every Chinese fam-
i y keeps hens. The millions of eggs
produced dally are collections of a
dozen or less from each of a myriad
of househo'ds. No special attention
is given to breodlng. Fowls are usu
ally small and produce s,mall es,'gs,
and the following nre some of the
ways the eggs are hatched, as report
ed by consular agents at request of
the University of Oregon school or
commerce:
Old women sometimes do the
hatching in one poverty-stricken dis
trict near Chefoo. They strap eggs
about their waists under their outer
garments and carry them till the1
chickens, come. This method is to
save fuel.
In interior districts near Amoy un
husked rice is roasted and a three
Inch layer is spread while lukewarm
in the bottom of a tub. One hun
dred eggs are laid in the rice. Al
ternate layers of two inches of rice i
and of 100 eggs are then spread until i
mere are 500 eggs in the tub. After
24 hours the eggs are taken out and
the rice reheated. When put back
center eggs go to the outside and lay
ers shifted. This great labor comes
to a climax when the Chinaman Is en
deavoring to keep the hatching brood
from smothering under the rice.
In the province of Shangtung eggs
are put in earthenware jars, which
are set upon bed3 of brick and clay in
which, slow fires burn. The eggs are
frequently turned.
The consul at Hankow reports a
method he says is thousands of years
old. In buildings 15 feet long and
16 feet wide kongs are placed along
the sides, each holding about 100 doz
ens of eggs. Straw is burned. Heat
in the eggs is kept uniform by re
moval from one basket to another,
those on top of one basket being
placed in. the bottom of the adjoining
one.
Metnods of collecting eggs, export
methods, laws governing importation
into Pacific coast states, and much
other information of Interest to Ore
gon pou'trymen is contained in
Bulletin on "Chinese Eggs," which
may be had free by addressing the
school of commerce of the State L'nl
versity. The bulletin shows, for ex
ample, the following comparison of
transportation rates on Chinese eggs
from Shanghai by water and on Ore
gon eggs from four representative
points in Oregon by express:
Rates per 100 pounds. Freight
rate from Shanghai to Pacific coast
ports $.755. Express rate from La
Grande to Portland, $1.20. Express
rate from Pendleton to Portland
$1.20. Express rate from RoseMjrg
to Portland, $1. Express rate from
Eugene to Portland, $.65.

Fire lU-cord.
Perhaps the most satisfactory fire
record of the year Just passed was
that made by the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition. During the
ten months Che fair was in progress
the battalion chief in charge of the
exposition station reports that only
64 box alarms were answered, and
the total loss entailed by the fires
did not amount to $300. Consider
ing the millions of dollars' valuation
crowded into the comparatively small
space, this is certainly a unique rec
ord.
