FOR FARMER FRIENDS.
Helpful Suggestions f mm an Ex
perienced Farmer..
A man who has learned many
valuable things by experience
and who is not too narrow minded
to share these facts with others,
is L. L Brooks of northern Ben
ton, known as one of the most
progressive farmers of this or any
other couotv. .
Because of the manv inquiries
sent him in regard to Black Rus
sian oats which he has grown so
successfully Mr. Brooks wrote
a letter to the Pacific North
west, published at Portland, giv
ing the information requested.
This letter is so practical and 1 uu
of useful hints to farmers that it
is given in part herewith, the re
maining hall to appear in our
next issue. It says:
"I believe Black Russian oats
to be the largest and heaviest
yielding oats growa aay where on
white land, This year we raised
6"4 bushels per acre. I will
leave it to vou what they would
do on the proper kind of soil.
They grow with three grains in
one mesh on extra good land.
two on ordinary and oue m poor
land. If tbey are sown early in
fall they grow very rank, some
times over four feet high. Oue
fall I pastured 30 head of hogs
and my band of Shropshire sheep
all winter, and in the spring took
the stock off. With this close
feeding the yield was very heavy
and the shocks were so vhick in
rows that a team could not drive
between them ia places. Many
ask how late in the spring they
can be grown. If before March
1st they will make oats, but not
a heavy yield. If sown in the
spring they will make pasture all
summer and winter and furnish
an extra heavy crop the next sea
son.
I never have had enough to
supply the demand at a dollar a
bushel. The reason tor this is
that I raised the most of them
with vetch and only had a few
acres of pure seed. I only have
about 50 bushels left this season
and will be glad to send anyone
some samples to experiment with
for the asking. We get lots ol
letters from Eastern people, ask
ing which are the most paving
crops in this section, and I be
lieve clovers, vetch, Black Rus
sian oats and artichokes. I
know all of these pay, because I
have tried them with good suc
cess.
Alsike clover is adapted to the
flat wet white land ot this val
ley. There are hundreds of
acres of such land that is not
producing anything except a
little sheep pasture. If it w&s
sown to aisike clover it would
make from $40 to $60 per acre
for seed, and then get more win
ter than it did before it was sown
to alsike.
Crimson clover is nly a year
ly plant, but it makes a heavy
seed ctop, and grows on high dry
clay points, and is splendid to
plow nnder and build up tne land
and when it is in bloom it is a
beautiful sight to look at, being
all a crimson red.
A year ago last May I sowed a
small patch on a poor clay point.
It grew up just right .for pasture
all summer and winter, and this
spring had a very , heavy crop of
seed-: After taking the crop off,
it reseeded itself thicker than be
fore. I am expecting a heavier
crop of seed next spring than 1
got beiore.
Another profitable crop is arti
chokes. Cut them up and plant
them in the spring, same as pota
toes, rows three feet apart and
eight to sixteeu inches apart iu
the row. The richer the land
the better the yield. Oa very
rich land they: will yield 100
bushels to the acre.
All stock like them bogs,
cattle, horses, goats, sheep ami
poultry. Cut some of them into
small pieces, throw them into tnr
chicken yard and tee tow ih
chickens eat them.. Turn hogs
and cattle iatoan artichoke patch
in November. Tije cattle will
eat the tops and the hogs the ar
tichokes. My hogs and pigs
have ben . digging them ever
since November, and they keep
in good growing condition. Some
people are afraid to plant them
because they think it is impossi
ble to get rid of them, t If you
turn stock on hem they will keep
every leaf off, and that will kill
them. In the spring plow the
pitch good and harrow down and
let it go. There is enough seed
left in the ground to make a good
crop year after year. Of course,
dig what you need to feed all
stock, but let the hogs do their
own digging. It is better not to
let the t:ogs in to root up the
ground when it is toa wet, as it
makes it bake hard. Oae way to
helo ithat is to manure the
ground heavy before plowing in
the spring, which helps to loosen
the soil.

tances in this ciiy... Th? story
of his passing is related in ful
by the Herald, as follows':
Just after the clock marked
the beginning of anjthsr day,
Rev. E. J- Tnotnpsoo, of this
city, died Wednesday morning at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
William Portmtiler, in this cuv,
after a week's illness. The de
ceased was aged 72 vears, hav
been r;orn Ocjpber 7, 1844, in
Middlebury,: Vermont. H: was
educated in New England aod in
the Normal school at Albany,
New York. He was married
December 30. 1857, to Miss Ella
Armstrong, and of the union
eight children weie born, five ot
whom are now living. They
are Mrs. William Fortmiiler, Al
bany, Ore.; George Thompson,
Boston, Mass.; Mrs. Elmer Sam
uels, Raymond, Wash., Mrs.
Chester Roake, Chico, Cal. ; and

Throughout his long life, Dr.
Thompson was prominently iden
tified with educational aud min
isterial work.
For nearly 20 years the de
ceased was head instructor in
mathematics and astronomy in
the University of Minnesota, and
for a number of terms was elected
to the school superintendency ol
Hennepin county, Minnesota.
Ia 1881 he moved with his
family to Casselton, N. D.,
where he occupied the pulpit of
the Presbyterian church until
1884, when he came west to
Salem, Oregon, to assume the
pastorate of the Presbyterian
church there.
After a few years residence in
Salem he moved with his fam
ily to this city, and assumed the
Presidency of Albany Colkge,
duriug 1886 and 1887, at the
same time performing the pas
toral duties of the First Presby

Hunted Cougars in Isea.
The Alsea boys are having
great sport these day hunting
cougars and seem to be meeting
with very good success. A tew
days ago Dick Zihn, George
Hockimeis, Will Stepson audi.
P. Smith captured four ot the
animals over in Alsea. The boys
wre hunting and ran across a
oest of baby cougars. At first
thev were thought to be wildcats
and two were shot before the
mistake was discovered. After
hunting a few hours for the
mother, the hunt was given up
until the next day.
The following morning the
hounds were put on the trail and
in is minutes they had the ani
mal treed. The first shot broke
her iaw and the boys thought her
dead but when she struck the
ground it was soon learned that
she was very much alive. Just
what happened when tut cougar
landed is not recordrd i - a
story given the Gazette. It is
surmised, however, that the hunt
ers may have been up a tree
also about that time, for the
wounded animal ran 50 feet be
fore being attacked by the d gs
and finally dispatched by a weil
aimed shot from some one's rifls.
One of the cougar kittens was
captured alive. It i probable
Benton county will have the
pleasure of paying for these
scalps, in the near future.
Alsea hunters are hard to beat,
and their hunting stories are al
ways gladly received by the
Gazette and are read with pleas
ure by all sportsmen.

TIMELY AND SENSIBLE.
Subject of Tuberculosis in Public
Schools Plan Discussed,
In a recent issue of the O.e
gonion. there appeared an article
referring to some suggestions,
made by Governoi Chamberlain
in his message to the Oregon leg
islature regarding tuberculosis in
connection with our public
schools. There never was a time
when so much attention was ,
given to the study, and preven
tion of communicable diseases, as
now.
These investigations showing
the causes of infectious diseases
enaole us to institute measures
for their prevention. The eduea
tion of the public is of course of
first importance so that they will
know the danger of contracting
these diseases if they are associa
ted with them. The governor's
suggestion that the course of
study in the public schools should
include text books on tuberculo
sis, is certainly a step in the
right direction for this will more
rapidly and effectively educate
the people at large than any
other course that could be pur
su d. As the students learn
these facts they will disseminate
them amon their parents and
friends.
At a recent meeting of the .
State Beard of Health of Minne
sota, Dr. Bracken submitted the
following questions: ''Are you
willing to aid in the control of
consumption? If so see to it that
those suffering from the disease
are not employed as teachers;
1st, because they cannot hope to
recover while following such an
occupation; 2nd, because they are
a menace to the school children
under their care.
See to it that children suffer
ing from this disease are exclud
ed from the schools: 1st, because
their recovery is not probable if
they are kept under the strain of
school lite; 2nd, because the im
portance of fresh air, rest and
goodfood is greater for the grow-
lag child than tor adults and tne
child attending school does not
get the necessary amount of
these; 3rd, because close confine
ment in school may be followed
bv other kinds of tuberculosis
than consumption, and may be
followed by deformities or death ;
4th, because school children suf
fering with consumption (pulmo
nary tuberculosis) are a decid
ed menace to their associates;
5th, Because by excluding them from
school and allowing them to recover and
at the same time pi eventing the infec
tion of others, man lives of value to the
state will certainly be saved."
It would be well to include with the
hyeiene of consumption, that of other
transmissable diseases, and give them
the same importance as other branches
of study in the school.
By educating the people in this way
consumption as well as other infectious
diseases could be brought more .nearly
aider control. " '
