GREAT POULTRY FARM.
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

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. It is thej first
time the Government ..has gone
so tar in Helping public . land
entrymen. . ; .

Hundreds, if not' thousands,
of homestead entries are cancel
ed each year because ot the fail
ure of the entrvmen to comply
with the - requirements of the
homestead law. 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. Tb
letter itself makes further ex
planation. Among other things
it is said: .
