To Xlnk Home and School.
"In the Installation of the method of
Mowing-credits for outside activities,
f had In mind several purposes. - Per
aps the greatest benefit we expected
: derive from the plan was to -bring
to closer relationship the home and
ie school.- , -
"By this method we hoped to get the
acher more interested in what the pu-
..s were doing at home, and likewise
get the parents to understand a lit
:!e better - what was being done at
chooU'; Another idea was to impress
pon pupils the importance and dug
.ty of labor. ' .
"t find more good coming from this
ethod than I had hoped. When the
oys and girls find that the teacher is
cally lntefsted . In what they do at
ome ' and: talks- to them about many
i eemlngly; little things connected with
l.eir home life, they" begin to regard
1 heir teaoher as a friend. Thus the
i osslb4illties of that teacher - are in
reasedniany fold.

"Then the boy or girl who finds It
1 'most impossible to learn things that
re in books, and who are sometimes
led to feel they are a failure, but who
( an do things with their hands, are en-
ou raged when they are given credit in
their standings at school for doing
i :ess things; -
"In the short time we have been try-
S this plan I have had many mothers
t hank me : for the idea saying that
heretofore it was almost as hard work
: j get the youngsters to do chores and
s si st with the work at. home as to do
t themselves, but that since credit is
iv en at school for these things, the
work Is done cheerfully and better.
, lany girls who did not want to assist
with the cooking are now anxious to
learn so they may be able to prepare
iv meal by themselves.

credit slip showing he has not' bad a

his parents want such a showing.
. he same .thing applies to several oth
r items on the credit blank.
"We have been trying out this plan
far about six months. We shall prob
bljfc. have occasion to modify the ap
1 lications of the principle somewhat,
-ut. I anv ,sure the general idea is cor
rect. The amount of credit to be given
for this, sort of activity must' neces
sarily be limited, that is. It must not
ie allowed. 'to assuroo , undue propor

work, and at the present time we place
I he maximum amount at 5 per cent, but
s the plan Is as yet in the experlmeht

Keep a . complete record ; of - your

well your -hens are paying. Putdown
very! cent. of expenditure, and when
you figure the receipts don't forget to
Include all the ' eggs and ' fowls you
consume at your own table. These
should be figured at current- market
prices for strictly fresh products. No
matter whether you only have a, few
hens, keep them in a business way. ,
Cull your eggs ? before marketlngr
them, have them of as uniform else

in neat boxes, holding a. dozen eggs

OREGQNS BREED TRUE
TO HIGH-LAYING TYPE
Prof. James Dryden Teiis of
Purpose. Performance
of New Breed,
On account of the widespread in
terest in Hi, Oregon breed of poultry,
attracted primarily by their wonder
ful performance at the Panama-Pacific
egg-laying contest, it is refreshing to
get the facts regarding them at first
hand. Prof, James Dryden, poultry
husbandman, at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, who developed the
breed, writes as follows:
"Our stock Uiat we call' the 'Ore-
gons' hag been bred up during- the
past seven years from an original
cross of Barred Plymouth Rocks and
White Iehorns. In some . of these
crosses th Barred Bock male was
used with the Whits Leghorn hens
and in others tho reverse, and we
seemed to get practically the same
results either way. Atter r the first
cross purebred White Leghorns were
used,- and the 'Oregons' now have some
rive-eighths to seven-eighths Lesrhorn
bipod, the : balance Barred Rock. In
all the crosses males, as well as fe
males of high laying pedisreo were
used. The main purpose in the cross
ing was. to determine whether or not
high egg-laying was a matter of
heredity. 'By crossing we made sure
that the vigor of the stock , was not
lacking. Without this knowledge we
would not know whether any increased
production secured was due to hered
itary laying tendencies.
"Another purpose in the crossing
was to develop, if possible, a variety
that excelled as a general purpose
type of Chicken, having high egg lay
ing Its first characteristic There
seemed to be too great a gap between
the Mediterranean breeds and the
American breeds when it came to fur
nishing the average consumer with a
table fowl. Plymouth V Rocks of,
standard weight are too large for the
average consumer; t ie Leghorns too
little meat. Our problem is to furnish
a chicken four to five pounds in
weight. I think a chicken of such
size will. greatly increase the consump
tion of poultry. However, egg-laying
was ths first consideration, and I
think we now have in our strain, the
Oregon, secured a chicken that
breeds true to 1 high laying. These
fowls are wbite In color, with medium
large comb, . rather close-feathered.
yellow . legs and , skin, and laying a
white egg. While the crossing was
an advantage In certain ways; the
main thing in producing the high
laying qualities was in the selection
of high - layers as breeding stock.
"W sent pens to the Missouri and
Storrs laying contest" to try them out
under different conditions. At Storrs,
at the end of the fifth week, the
Oregons wera eighteenth In tho list,
having risen from thirtieth place to
eighteenth since the end of the first
week. We expect to see them still
further "improve their- position. in
ths' Missouri? contest, the "Oregons
won the silver cup in November with
106 entries. At tho Panama exposi
tion we had three pens entered, one
of 'Oregons, on of Leghorns . and
one of Barred Plymouth Rocks. The
White Leghorns finished first place
and the , -Oregons' and Rocks tied for
second - place. The conditions there
were not good for heavy production,
and the records were rather low. We
now have four71 hens of the Oregons'
with records of over 300 eggs, and the
pen records are also very high. In all
our breeding work, trap-nest selection,
of course, has been the basis. -Selec
tion has been rather a question - of

curious plan todetermlne sex adopted
in Cambridgeshire. All the geese are

. Pullets that are heavily, forced for
egg production are not in the proper
condition for breeding. High stimu-j
latiori affects the fertility of eggs. .
Besides, chicks hatched from eggs laid
by highly stimulated hens will not be
strong and vigorous. , ; '..
To feed boiled potato and other veg
etable carlngs is apt to get the hens
too fat? But if these are given in a
raw state and cut up fine they will be
greatly appreciated by the fowls, and
there will not be the strong tendency
of producing fat as when they are
boiled.
A good way to feed charcoal Is to
add it to the dry mash. Two pounds
to 20 pounds ground grain would be
all right.
- When, putting In roosts do not build
them too high from too-floor o'r your
fowls may become infected with bum
blefoot. Don't confine your birds too closely

air at all times, hence the popularity
of the open front houses. , -
A . sandy or loamy soil Is best
adapted for poultry keeping, as it ab
sorbs offal more readily. -
Use clean, dry straw or dry leaves
for a scratching litter. Shavings or
sawdust should not be used, as either
of these is apt to cause crop trouble.
PERTINENT ADVICE ON
The Poultry Fancier Must
Show That He Has What
Buyer Wants,
When an advertisement puts buyer
and seller into communication the ad
vertising medium has done its part
The seller must show the buyer that
he has what he wants, and will give
good value for the money. This is not
done by claiming ail good qualities for
tho stock to be sold, but by a simple
statement of facts.
If a male is being sold for utility
purposes, hi vigor, size and age are
the Important points. If ihs is being
sold for breeding fancy poultry, bis
vigor, markings and age are important.
No "matter what the purpose, vigor is
absolutely essential. Markings are of
no value, purity of color amounts to
nothing, if the bird bas not the vigor
to be a good breeder. It is well to give
the breeding of the birds offered for
sale. If they come from a pen of, good
layers, and have been trap-nested, say
so. If they come from a flock of na
tional reputation, though not your own.
it is weU to name tbe strain, Tet stock
from the best of breeders, IX in, the
yards of a breeder who does not under
stand the business, may be very disap
pointing. ! t ,
While the breeders who receive indi
rect advertising from their customers
may occasionally be 'pleased with the
result, ordinarily, it is best Ton both
sides to make no mention of the parent
strain. : ..... 5 - -
Answer letters of Inquiry promotlv.
and on good stationery, with pen and
ink. Write your name plainly: also- the
prices. If a man writes for a low
priced bird, do not describe ths high
priced birds to him, i or mention .that
you have them. Some people feel that
a poultry breeder with two prices on
aijrrerent birds is on a par with store
keepers with two prices on the same
line or goods. .
Wihen an order is made, shin the
birds in neat coops as light as can be
carried with safety, Nowadays. it"
very easy to tmy knock-down coops,
which can be put up In a hurry, as oc
casion demands, and stored in . small
space when not needed. Better add 60
cents to the price of every bird and
ship in a coop that Is a good advertise
ment or your methods, than to toggle
up old boxes and send a coop which
costs too much in express charges.
When the bird is crated ready for
shipment, inspect the shipment care
fully. If you would not be satisfied to
receive the bird as good value for. your
money, don't ship him out. '
Don t send out a disqualified bird
without stating th fact in answering
the inquiry. In smooth-legged vari
eties, a stub or two would disqualify
ths bird for the showroom but, if he
Is otherwise of good shape and color,
it would not be a detriment to a utility
more than the culls from pure-bred
flocks; they wm be bred for uUlity
purposes onty, out au ins stanaara re-
qulrement were fixed because they
were first based on utility : qualities :
and if the bird bas Vigor and else, if
be-comes from a good line, tho chances
are he will breed better than he is, and
the damage done to a utility flock by a
few stbbs will never be felt. We would
not use a disqualified bird for exhibi
tion stock- unless in a small - special
mating. . ?
Certainly, we would not sell , birds
from such a mating without telling tho
buyer what he wanted and what wo got
from the cross. . Unless a disqualified
bird is specially strong in other lines,
be should go to the market .very
promptly. Only a disqualified bird of
exceptional promise in some sections
should be kept. Improvement comes
slowly at the best; but don't let a flaw
which win probably not damage utility
birds condemn a good market typo of

tional quality. ' :

Oampine Breed of
Ancient Lineage
Among old breeds that have been
rediscovered - none v have commanded
more attention, 'nor - given wider evi
dence ot economic values, "than the
Silver and Golden Campinas. - Import
ed from Belgium into England and
the " United States, they- soon gave
evidence of good - lay ipg qualities,
while in the matter of type and color
of plumage the breed has been much
improved by the fanciers f both
countries. The breed takes its name
from the fact that it Is largely bred
in the Camping district a dry, sandy
plain lying between Antwerp and Has
eelt, in the provinces of Antwerp and
Llnburg, ; where prevailing' conditions
render, activity as essential to any
breed, as forage is Quite apt' to be
scant. - Allowing for this, it is no
wonder that the Campine . suggests
the Leghorn in typerthat It Is an
alert, active bird; that it. is a com
paratively small v breed r and that its
maintenance is one of low cost In.
comparison to some of the larger
breeds.
The Campinas are rated as hardy,
small eaters, good foragers (and yet
not averse to confinement), rapid
growers, and splendid layers of good
slsed eggs, those of adult hens going
two ounces ' each. The " carriage is
proud, and the color scheme in plum
age one of the most beautiful of all

Is. because water Is only slightly com
pressible. If water were highly com
pressible, as air is, the water at a
great depth would be - much denser,
and therefore heavier, and aa object
would sink until it reached a point
at which Its weight would be less than
that of the water which it displaced
and there It would float as clou la

foot of iron weighs more than a cubie

therefore continues sinking until it
