UiS EXPERIENCE.
In Diversified Farming Why
Not Do Better in Willamette?
"People of moderate means
should not farm too much land.
A man can start on a 2 J-acre
farm. Forty acres may do him,
S j is enough, 160 an abundance,
320 a misfortune, 649 acres a
calamity."
Such is the declaration of a
man who practices whit he
preaches and knows where f he
speaks. He believes in diversi
fied farming, such as is advocat
ed by the Gazette, and some of
his experience is related for the
benefit of others who can do as
well or better, if they 'will, as
this inciuent happened in Neb
raska. This man was raised on a srx-
acre farm in Switzerland, hence
was p epared to make the most
of a small tract of land in this
country, and, though there is a
vast amount more of room here
than in Switzerland, an increas
ing number ot Am;ri--ans will
need to make a living on small
tracts of land, and stories of
small farmers' success are inter
esting and instructive.
After renting land for three
years this young Siss had a cap
ital ot $275 and bought 20 acres
of rough, partly cleared land at
$12.50 per acre, paying $100
down. People laughed at him,
but he worked and studied his
soil, also the nearest market.
This was seven . years ago, and
now he has the land all produc
ing fine fruit, potatoes and
other vegetables, fancy seed corn
alfalfa, clover and other grasses
and berries. He has a neat
home, keep3 a team and two
milch cows, lives in comparative
ease and luxury, and makes a
neat surplus every year. He
sometimes makes the most on
cm, again on potatoes, again on
pears, but always has one or
more crops that yield a substan
tial profit, sometimes as much as
$100 an acre net.
No doubt many an equally
good story could be "dug up"
nearer home. At least such
should be the case, for if a man
can do so weir in the cold cli
mate of Nebraska, where a large
fraction of his profits must go to
teed bis animals and buy fuel,
how much better one could do on
20 acres of good soil in Oregon
that he might buy now for per
haps $1000.
In fruit alone, after a few
years, ana in poultry ana eggs,
not to mention any other things
that could- be turned off, an in
dustrious, intelligent farmer
would make a living and profit
and find 20 acres amply suffi
cient and more satisfactory than
a larger farm. This is what
Oregon needs thousands of
farmers on an averge of 20-acre
farms, well tilled.
The above story is related in
the Journal, but-was taken from
an Omaha farmers' magazine.
Look Out for "L.
"Gold coins
a large "L" are
stamped with
in circulation in
Portland, but the banks won't
take thera, states a report from
that city. When you get one of
these stamped coins the only
thing to do is to take it to some
assayer, who will weigh it and
pay you about ten per cent less
than the face value of the coin
for it. He will then place it in a
crucible to be meLed into gold
bullion.
The government itself muti
lates these coins, a well known
bank cashier says, and in so do
ing turns the ruined currency
right back into circulation,
where some innocent party wili
become victimized by them.
When the light coins are ten
dered for duties on imports the
are weighed at the custom hou-e.
qnickly stamped "L" for 'light,'
and returned to the importer. It
ltt cannot pass tbecoin off
he most take it to the retort to be
meled.
The light coins may be ren
dered light in the ordinary course
of abrasion in circulation, or
they may have been sweated by
parties who sell the gold dust
thus brushed off the coin. Tae
common mode of sweating is to
place a number ot gpld coins in
a sack and shake them up for a
long time, when the gold dust
will gather at the bottom of the
sack.
OAC LOST.
But Team Deserves Qeat Cre
ditThe McMinnville Debate.
The OAC debating; team com
posed of Clark, Cale and Stebin
ger, returned from McMinnville
Saturday, where on the evening
before they debated with a trio
from that college. While OAC
lost the contest, there is no ques
tion that the local men made a
good fight for the honors and
there is nothing but praise due
them for the manner in which
they represented their college.
Of the debate a dispatch from
McMinnville in Sunday's Journal
gives the details:
In a very closely contested de
bate here Friday night on the
ship subsidy question McMinn
ville college won from Oregon
Agricultural by unanimous de
cision of the judges. OAC de
fended the affirmative and Mc
Minnville the negative.
The affirmative team was com
posed of C. M. Stebinger, C. C.
Clark and P. H. Cale. Stebinger
opened the debate for the affima-
tive with a strone argument.
Every man on the affirmative
worked hard and deserves cre
dit for excellent argument.
The negative team was com
posed of Theodore Anderson, W.
C. Campbell and G. L. Tilbury,
who spoke in the order named.
Their argument was strong and
effective throughouc. All the
debaters used every minute of
time allotted- The debate was
won entirely on constructive
argument.
Judge William Galloway pre
sided. . The judges were Judge
A. L. Frazer of Portland, Judge
N. L. Butler of Dallas and Super
intendent R. L. Traver, formerly
of Pendleton.
Following the debate a recep
tion was tendered the debaters.

MONEY IN ESGS.
New Poultry Farm, for Benton-
Miller is Succeeding.
I nere is no better place to
make money in the poultry busi
ness than in Benton county.
Neither is there a more paying
busiuess, if piopi.rly conducted.
The success of F. L. Miller in
the poultry business issjtuething
worthy of consideration, for our.
oa his thiity acre chickrn ranch
west of this city Mr. Miller is do
ing an immense business and it
is said that he now gets a crate
of eggs per day for market. This,
at the pres nt time, represents
more than a trifling amount ot
cash and it is the purpose of Mr.
Miller to keep on increasing his
flock until he has all the fowls
that he can manage on his ftrm.
It now seems that another
chicken ranch is to be established
immediately in Northern Benton,
although on a smaller scale. The
owner is Dr. F. F. Seaver , a
newcomer from Richland, Ore
gon, who Friday purchased a
5-acre tract of land in Benton
county across the Willamette
from Albany and wili engage in
the poultry business on an ex
tensive scale. It is his intention
to devote his time exclusively to
the raising of the well known
White Rock breed ot fowl,
though he may perhaps raise a
few other varieties. Dr. Seavers
expects to find a large market
for his produce in Portland, Sa
lem and Albany.
He says that he believes this
part of the Willamette valley is
ideal for poultry raising on an
extensive scale and proposes to
show that his belief is practica
ble by actual experience. Dr.
Seavers intends to devote most of
his time to handling eggs for the
markets, in which the m st pro
fit is to be derived.
Dr. Seavers is experienced in
the poultry raising business and
already has a large ranch known
as the Mountain View poultrv
farm devoted exclusively to the
raising of the Wiiite Rock var
iety of chickens, in
Oregon. He states

away fiom the market to be
exactly suitable and after look
ing over the different portions of
the state he is seemingly con
vinced that Benton is the most
desirable section of the state for
proper development of the poul
try business. The markets are
close by, comparatively, and thus
the small poultry raiser as well
as the one doing business on an
increased plan, is able to dispose
of his eggs and produce quickly,
and at a small cost, together
with greater profit.
Royally Entertained.
One of the most pleasing and
delightful social events of the sea
son occurred Friday evening at
Cauthorn Hall when Miss Mar-
jone Richards entertained tne
young people of the Congrega
tional church and several friends,
the o-uests of honor being Rev.
and Mrs. Albert Monosmith, the
hew pastor and his wife.
A large number ot young peo
ple were present to join in the
numerous games indulged in
which caused much laughter and
merriment among those present.
After two hours spent in a
nleasant social manner, the guests
were escorted to the big diaing-
rnfim. where a larse table, witn
unique and beautiful decorations
consisting ot tiny telegraph poles
with lines ot wnite riDDon run
ning to each p'ate, a message be
ing attached to eacn one, was
remotinslv spread. Each guest
in turn reading his or her tele
gram, all of which were very
interesting. Dainty refreshments
were then served.
Roy Brague presided as toqst
master, but lust as Mrs. irtd
Clark and Rev. Monosmith were
responding the lights dipped and
the guests unwillingly aepartea,
voting Miss Richirds a charm!
and delightful hostess. The
occasion was one that will not
soon be forgotten by those pre
sent. Among the euests present was
Dr. Bitner of Portland, who was
in attendance at the Evangelical
conference held in this city last
week.
LAW FOR SHEEPMEN.
State Inspector Asks Attention
What ' Dipping" Means.
Dr. Lytle, state inspector,
wishes all county papers to give
publicity to certain information
relative to the new regulations
for sheep men. He says:
"The new Ore on law pro
vides that all sheer within the
state shall be dipped during the
year, bstween the months of
April and August.
"All sheep that are free from
scab will be ;dipped once but all
that are found infected must be
dipped twice. In this annual
dipping, no dips shall be
used except those that are recog
nized by the government, a list
of whicii may be had upon ap
plication to the state sheep in
spector or to inspectots of the
bureau ot animal industry. The
government' also permits the ue
of home made lime and sulphur
dip, which is made from eight
pjtmds of unslaeked lime and z
pounds !of powdered sulphur to
ioo gallous of water. When anv
of the tobacco dips are used it is
also required that 16 pounds of
sulphur be added to every ioo
gallons of water.
"All this dipping must be
supervised by government or
state inspectors, and where dip
ding is done in their absence it
will not be recognized a official,
and another dipping will be re
quired. Whenever anyone is
ready to dip, an inspector will
immediately be sent to supervise
the mixing, of the dip and the
dipping of the sheep.
"The government requires that
all sheep must be in the vat from
two to three minutes and that the
temperature ot the dip must be
maintained at a temperature of
ioo degrees farenheit. All scab
by sheep must be dipped at their
present quarters and must not be
trailed to a public vat, but it is
desirable that clean sheep be dip
ped at some central vat so that as
few inspectors as possible will be
required to handle them.
"For the present year no sheep
will be allowed to enter a forest
reserve unless they have a certi
ficate showing that they have
been dipped by the proper offi
cers.
"All sheep that have been re
ported scabby since January i,
will be handled as infected sheep
at dipping time, whether they
have been dipped in the mean
time or not. This is done so
that when the annual dipping is
done there should be little dan
ger of them breaking out with
scab again.
Albany Won It.
Albany carried off the laure Is,
Friday, at the fifth triennial con
vention of the Ladies of the Mac
cabees lodge which met in Port
land. The drill team of 24

ing hard and faithfully lor many
months came out victorious in
the contest with other teams from
the different lodges throughout
the state, and the firt prize was
awarded to that team
Albany lodge I,. O. T. M. al
so won the prize of ten dollars
awarded for the organization hav
ing the best membership, and in
