The Oregon Agricultural College,
which is in advance on the silo
question, has proved that the sweet
silage which is preserved by mere
heating is much more relished by
stock and more profitable than the
common silage. The thing now to
demonstrate among the farmers is
that it is as profitable for- them to
care for ab the common silage. If
the Agricultural College can dem
onstrate this to practical use it has
indeed made a great discovery for
the stockmen of the country. Pa

Last Saturday the children of the
primary grade of the public school
were given an excursion up the river
on the Leona, under command of
Capt. Graham. There were about
thirty in the party, including some
adults, and they went as far up the
Willamette as Finley's Landing.The
day was ideal and they were as
comfortable as could be out on the
deck of the steamer. The excur
sionists had tables rigged up on
the deck and took their dinners
out in the open air. When one
stops to consider that this took
place on the 22nd of February,
there is all the greater reason for
loving Oregon. Every member of
the crew from the captain down
did his best to make things pleas
ant for the party.

will visit the little steamer Leona, which
plies between Portland and Corvallis,
and inspect the handiwork of Joe, the
Chinese cook, they will discover to their
surprise that the yellow man has me
chanical genius. worthy of the Yankee.
Not long ago, Jee approached Engineer
Gwinn with the request that he be per
mitted to usejthe latter's pliers. He had a
sheet of zinc under his arm and the en -
giueer was interested in what Joe in
tended doing. Spreading the zinc upon
the floor, the cook began work with the
pliers, and when he had finished and
drawn the parts together, there appeared
an excellent model of a ship's hull. The
joints were 'neatly soldere7Tulk-heads,
forming water-tight compartments, Were
placed ia position and the hull was ready
to receive the machinery . The works of
three old clocks were eecored and by a
combination of parts of these, Joe pro
vided power for the propeller. A short
lever appears above the deck just for
ward of the pilot house and a few move
ments of this backward and forward puts
the machinery, which is all concealed
below decks, in motion. The propeller
is drivem with great rapidity for three or
four minutes.
There is not a particle of wood about the
entire vessel. The hand railing extend
ing back from the bow ; the pilot house
and the steps leading to it, as well as the
windows and doors which swing upon
hinges are all of zinc and their joints and
fittings are neat and perfect. When it is
considered that the boat is not to exceed
two feet in length with a draft of prob
ablv four inches, and that the various
parts must necessarilv be small, Joe's
work is remarkable. He uses his kitchen
on the boat for a work room and the
ship which has been turned out of this
construction room is the pride of Joe and
the entire crew of the Leona.

Berry Is Agent.
It was believed and contended
a few years ago that bicycle
building had reached its high
est stage of development and
that few improvements could be
expected. But this conclusion
was at fault Th bicycle of
1902 is as great an improvement
over the models of three or four
years ago, as a Pulman sleeper is
over a box car, and the Rambler
is king of all. James K. Berry
is the agent for the Rambler in
this city. He has both 7901 ad
1902 models. The latter is a
handsome wheel and has all the
late improvements, including
the cushion frame. Every part

which took place here last Friday
afternoon, Mr. Jones, represented

bany; C. A. Redrnan, Eugene;
Harry Swaflford, .Salem, and J.

The meeting was called for the
purpose of selecting judges to
act at the contest that will take
place in Salem, March 14th.
Judges had been chosen at a
previous meeting, but one or
more of those chosen were un
able to act.
Harry Swafford, presideat of
the association, ruled that Harry
Belt, who was to represent Men
mouth was disqualified for the
reason that Monmouth did not
hold her local contest when the
other colleges did, the second
Friday in February. Howtver,
this matter will be considered at
the bnsiness meeting that will
preceed the contest at Salea on
the 14th of March. There was
perfect harmony at the meeting
and the judges selected are per
fectly acceptable to all patties.
The names ot the judges are not
to divulge at present.
Old Orchards.
Foley's Honey and Tar
cures colas, prevents pneumonia.
An orchardist of experience was dis
cussing the condition of numerous old
orchards of this section, a few days ago,
and gave it as his opinion that a lot of
good healthy pruning was a most desir
able thing when dealing with an orchard
covered with moss and the trees loaded
with dead limbs. He says that where
there is a superabundance of moss it
forms a desirable place for codlin moths
and other insect pests during the winter
and their presence is felt later on. The
moss should all be scraped off and the
trees freely sprayed with Bordeaux
Mixture.
The dead limbs should all be taken off
and the trees pretty well pruned down.
For the first year or two after a vigorous
pruning the orchard will not produce
very much fruit, but what it does yield
will be first class. The year or two that
follows the pruning cannot be counted
as lost, because the fruit produced prior
to that time was worthless anyway. It
takes a new healthy grow th of timber to
produce a rich lucious fruit.
Demurrer Sustained.
The matter of river rights on
the Luckiatnute has occupied the
attention of the circuit court for
