The Only Exclusive Poultry Farm in Benton County. The poultry business is rapid ly outstripping in importance the wheat raising industry in the United States.: Each year sees more attention paid to it, and al though comparatively new in Or egon the business of raising poul try for market has taken firm . root here and is destined to have; a good future. , Benton county meri are going at this business in earnest and we have, many among us already who are breeding the finest poul try in the world. However, every one, save one exception," who have taken up the chicken busi ness have entered the field to make the business a side issue. The exception to this rule is S. H. Moore, proprietor of the Col lege View Poultry Farm. This farm is situated on the outskirts of Corvallis and com prises 15 acres. Any person who expects to go into chicken cul ture will be well repaid for the time taken to visit Mr. Moore's farm. Oa the place are " good substantial buildings 01 every description, but what is of great est interest is' the variety of con venient arrangements for handling chickens of all kinds and ages. Let us look into the matter closely and follow the methods of Mr. Moore. We will begin with placing eggs in the incubatpr. After this, is done the best results barrel said hen is place, together with an abundance ot louse killer powder, and given a spin for her life. For setting hens there are a number of prisons. The chicken roosts have blocks nailed on those used by the larger and heavier breeds to keep them from crowd ing. These blocks are nailedvon the roosts just far enough apart for a chicken to set between them. The roosts themselves are about 1 y2 or two . inches square, not nailed down, and may be turned for cleansing. In cleaning the roosts Mr. Moore uses louse killer powder and kerosene oil, mixed. This spring Mr. Moore will in cubate about 700 chicks. He raises at present Brown Leghorns and Barred Plymouth Rocks, but after this year he will keep only the latter breed, as he flnus they are fully as good layers as the Brown Legborns and are much better for marketing. Every egg Mr. Moore can hope to have by May 10 is already spoken for. This is certainly a great farm and we are informed as it stands today it could have been attached to the OAC experimental farm a year ago, and there was strong talk of it at that time and much was advanced in favor of doing so, but for some reason the mat "ter was dropped. Had .. the csl- lege accepted Mr. Moore's propo sition to establish an experiment al poultry farm the latter would have put far more money into the business and the place : would have been even greater than it is today. Mr. Moore can boast FRAUD AND IGNORANCE. Steps Taken by the Government to Guard Against Both. : are obtained by not touching the nine years practical experience in eggs for the first four or five days, poultry raising.

Jfla The following dispatches un der date of April 28 and 30, show the government to be keenly alive to evil results, both from fraud and ignorance: V -'.v.'. - Secretary Hitchcock and other officials of the - Interior, Depart ment have determined to prevent all forms of speculation in land to be irrigated bv the Govern ment. As was to have been ex pected, attempts have been made to take up land nnder Govern ment projects by. means of sol diers' additional homestead rights, by lieu' land filings and other processes contrary to the spirit and intent of the reclamation law. The first of these cases to be brought up for official action was promptly rejected by. the Interior Department, which held that land under Government irrigation pro jects can only be taken up under the homestead law and then only when the settler agrees to pay his proportionate share of building the project; that is, the fixed price per acre for his water. ; - The object of all these specu lators has been " to corral large quantities of land, under irriga tion projects with the view of sell ing out at a large advance. It is recognized that the cost of irriga tion which must be paid by set tlers on Government irrigation land, will not begin to represent the true value of the land when watered. Land that will cost the settler $10 to $30 an acre will, when irrigated, be worth $40 to $100 an acre. ' Mr Hitchcock is determined that speculators shall not get a foothold on land that is being or is to be irrigated by the Government. This land can be controlled more easily than the average public land, and it will be comparatively easy to head off speculators. That is being done in good faith comply with the laws requiring residence, improve ment, cultivation and prcof will bt sure to result in the cancella tion of the entry and the loss of your improvements.. Entrymen should constantly bear in mind that any sale of,or contract or agreement to sell, any of the lands embraced in their entries, or. any part thereof, or any interest' therein prior to mak ing final proof, will cause the en try to be canceled, and may even result in the cancellation of the patent, should such patent be in advertantly issued. It should also be constantly re membered that any false! state ment made in either the affidavits or the final proof, made in sup port of any entry, wi'l not only cause its cancellation, but may result in criminal indictment and prosecution. . i , In times past the Land Office has assumed that every home steader knew the law; now, how ever it is assumed ... that every homesteader may not be fully in formed, and the Government is taking this step to save him from falling into error.

In some instan ces the law is violated through ig norance; many times there have been bold attempts ot obtain land by ' willlulv violation of the law to protect tne nouest but unin formed settlers, and to warn the land grabber, the General Land Office has prepared a circular let ter which gives full instructions as to making homesteads and per fecting them, once they are ini tiated. It is the intention to send a cepy of this letter to every man who hereafter Tiles a homestead claim, so that he mav, at the very outset, know what is expected of him and wtiat he must do - before be can obtain tiileto the land, Through ignorance of the law many . bonafide eutrymen vhave lost their land altogether, or have been ten years instead of five in obtaining title. Many instances are known where speculators have purposely misinformed T home steaders in order to defeat their homestead claims. ? But the; vast majority of homesteads that are rejected are those where ' there have been intentional evasions of the law, usually as a residence upon the land and improvement of the homestead. Nearly 70.000 homesteads were filed last year. It is believed that there-will be at least 50,000 every year tor,, some time to come, which ; means , the issuance of 50,000 letters a year. On the back of each letter are printed tne nomesteaa laws ana Interior Department regulations for carrying the same into effect. This gives a full : and complete statement of what a homestead er must do, and what he cannot do between the times he files his entry and obtains his patent.
