7 CH7. MARKETING POULTRY. The Farmer Should Pay Mora Attan- tion to That Part of His Work. If they could only be made to realize It, the7 farmer and his wife would find It every bit as much to their advantage to attain a reputation for furnishing the best eggs and chickens as well as the best milk and butter, says Turf, Farm and Home. There is always room at the top, you know, and that Is certainly true with regard to poultry products of a supe rior quality. The farm that has a rep utation for furnishing superior milk and butter experiences no difficulty in disposing of the product, usually at a premium above the ordinary market prices. The same is equally true of first class poultry and eggs, because it is worth something to a customer to know to an absolute certainty that his eggs are going to be fresh laid and that he need not procure an ai with which to carve the chicken that he has bought.. . In view of the enormous profits of hucksters at most seasons of the year, the farmer, unless his location is very remote, can usually dispose of his poul try produet to the best advantage by selling direct to private customer in a nearby town. These customers can readily be obtained by offering in the first place only the very highest grade products and then keeping all goods up to this standard. It will be found that once a reputa tion for selling strictly high class poul try and egss is established it can be lost only throush neglect and inatten tion to business. Private customers thus secured and assured of securing only the best at all times will be per fectly willing to pay the highest mar ket prices. Prize White Wyandotte Cockerel. It is possible that the world at some time has produced a more beautiful fowl than the one herewith illustrated, but if so, his portrait has never been published. This particular bird was first as cockerel at the Madison Square Garden show in New York city this year. This is the premier poultry ex hibition of America, and it requires quality to win there in any class. In the case of the beautiful White Wyan dotte cockerel herewith illustrated, however, there was a good deal of quality to spare. Influence of Soil on Color. The soil will to a considerable extent Influence the color of the legs and beak. Birds running on good grass land and fed freely on yellow corn will usually have yellow legs anil '-oak. if of the yellow logged varietio... Birds from the same strain running on sandy, dry soil, even on the same ration, or ranging on dry alkali soils, will frequently have light colored legs and beak. Feeding corn is a great help toward getting desired color in beaks and legs, but a good run on fresh grass land and opportunity to run in the grass when the dew is on it will do more to put a rich color into the legs than anything else. Foot Abscess In Fowls. To cure foot abscess open same with a sharp .knife and remove the horny substance. Cleanse thoroughly with hydrogen dioxide, then apply an oint ment made by mixing one part finely powdered iodoform with twenty parts pure vaseline. Bind up the foot in soft .gauze and keep the bird sus pauded in a sling or cloth hammock until the foot heals. Daily cleansing and dressing with the ointment will be necessary. As to Roasters. For roasting, a young fowl about full grown, but still soft meated, is used, and to roast satisfactorily it must be moderately fat. Roasters are roughly classed as "small roasters' and "large roasters." The greatest demand is for small roasters, weighing four or five pounds each, though the demand for large roasters, weighing eight or nine pounds each, is steadily increasing. Yel low skin and yellow legs are more gen erally demanded than a white skin and dark legs. Lice In Summer. At no season of the year do lice trouble hens more than this. They seem to thrive in warm weather. Therefore we must use every effort to help the hens out. They will do a great deal for themselves by digging in the dirt and dust, but it requires some Insect powder or kerosene to rid the fowls of their most troublesome ene mies. Free Range For Chicks. Fortunate are the little free range chicks at this season. They romp nil j day, getting the exercise and variety j of food needed to grow bone, muscle, and feathers. For quick growth, free grass range is just the thing, j DAIRY PESTS. Insects That Trouble the Cow and How to Get Rid of Them. One of the best lectures given to the winter dairy course students at Cor- nlliVPrRlrv waa bv Professor M. V. Eh'ngerland upon insects, in wnicn dairymen are interested. The horn fly sometimes causes serious annoyance to cows. It looks like the bouse fly, but is smaller. These flies cluster upon the horn, but do not eat the horn, as many people seem to think. They suck blood from the ansnal. The flies breed in fresh cow manure. The eggs hatch, and the maggots grow Into flies within two weeks. Thus there may be sev eral broods, and they may become a serious pest by their rapid increase in numbers. One of the best remedies is to use a repellent spray. This may be made from one pound soap dissolved in one gallon hot water, which is thoroughly mixed with two gallons kerosene oil. This should then be diluted at the rate of one part of the solution to six parts water. Crude petroleum is also good to drive off these flies as well as to kill certain other insect pests, such as lice. The ox warble fly is the insect which Is responsible for the large lumps or bunches on the backs of cattle in sum mer. This fly resembles the house fly, but Is larger. Its eggs are laid on the hairs on the legs. It used to be thought that the eggs hatched near where they were laid, on the back, and the grubs bored in through the hide, but now It is believed that the eggs are licked off the legs into the mouth, hatching in the alimentary canal, and the grubs work from there out as far as the .skin, where they grow and make the objec tionable lumps, each grub having a hole through which it may breathe. One remedy is to smother the grub by plugging up the hole in the skin by the use of crude petroleum or other greasy substance. Axle grease will do. When they are large they may be squeezed out. These insects have only one brood a year. The common house fly is responsible for' a great deal of trouble in dairies as well as In homes. It is a carrier of bacteria. The Small Silo. of small silos in Farmers W. T. McSparran says: I Writing Advocate, would not recommend any one to build a silo less than eight feet in diameter. Then in feeding silage It is necessary that enough be used that the whole surface can be fed from daily. So if one has a silo eight feet in diameter he should calculate on having eight or ten, or, better, a dozen, mature animals to which to feed silage. To Protect Cows From Flies. The following formula for a wash to keep flies off cows is given by a dairy Journal: Fish oil, two quarts; crude carbolic acid, one pint; oil of penny royal, one ounce; oil of tar, to make the full amount of one gallon. Apply by use of a large atomizer or other convenient form of small sprayer just before milking.' The sprayer must give a perfect spray or mist to avoid waste. BUTTER AND CHEESE. There is usually a good market, even in a small town, for cottage cheese a good way of using some of the sour milk, but do not let the milk get boiling hot or even much scalded, or the curd will be tough and will not make, such nice, creamy cheese. , Best Way to Store Butter. In a series of experiments wTith pack ages in which to store butter it was I shown that the tubs coated inside with i paraffin held butter most perfectly. All untreated tubs became moldy, even including those scalded with hot brine, soaked in pure brine and in brine con taining a strong solution of formalin. All the tubs were filled with butter from the same-churning and kept in the same manner. Recipe For Cream Cheese. Here is an English recipe for making cream cheese: Take a quart of cream or if not desired very rich add thereto one pint of new milk, warm it in hot water till about 98 degrees, add a ta blespoonful of rennet, let it stand till thick, then break it slightly with a spoon and place it in a frame in which has previously been put a fine canvas cloth, press it slightly with a weight, let it stand a few hours, then put a finer cloth in the frame. A little pow dered salt may be put over the cloth. It will be fit for use in a day or two. Cheesy Taste In Butter. The cheesy taste in butter is due to t the Imperfect removal of the butter milk by washing. If the churning is I stopped when the butter is in small I grains and before it is gathered Into a large compact mass, the buttermilk' drawn off and the butter well washed while In this state, the buttermilk Is then effectually removed. Improving Butter Quality, The dairyman and farm wife who often find the butter quality Injured might keep in mind this list of ways by which the injury often results: By using improper vessels for holding the milk when milking. By using milk too soon after the birth of the calf. By failure to properly wash and scald and sterilize all vessels coming in con tact with milk. By giving the cows bad water and having a disagreeable odor or an unhealthy quality. By al lowing the cows to wallow In the mud or in water in the summer, thereby coating the udder with dirt containing noxious germs which enter the udder through the teat and abide there for long periods. By neglecting the sur roundings of the stable, allowing the manure to rot in the immediate vicin ity or permitting a mudhole before the stable door or about U water They Walked Back. Admiral Schley was talking about war and peace at Port Deposit Mi I "War must sun go on, ne saia. "Mankind is not yet highly enough developed to be peaceful. Yet I am in favor of ueaee societies and rjeace congresses, lor tnese things neip the cause of peace along. They g f P a, Xiouiv The admiral mused a little ; then - he resumed: peace some day, for we all love it in our hearts. The bravest fighters in their hearts love peace with incred ible devotion with devotion as in credible as that which the pigeons of Newark had for their home. "There was a Newark man who kept pigeons. One day he sold a half dozen birds to a Philadelphian. But the pigeons loved their, former home, and the first time they were let out . they flew straight back to it, covering the fifty miles in no time. , "The Philadelphian got them again, and this time he clipped their wings so that they could not fly, but he left their hutch open, and they disappeared. Nothing was seen 'of them for some days. Then, thin and dusty and footsore, they limped slowly into the old home in New ark. "They had walked the whole wav back." Tribute to the Ad. The late William Johnson of Brooklyn, the owner of Printers' Ink, was for many years a leading light of the advertising business. An advertisement writer said of him the other day : "Mr. Johnson had a- stock of ad vertising stories on the tip of his tongue. He used to tell them to young solicitors. He claimed that they were useful in getting business. "One of his favorite stories was about two little children. They came to their mother one evening and asked if they might play store. " Tes,' said the mother, "but you must remember that the baby is asleep. Play store if you like, but don't make a noise. Play quietly.' " 'All right, mother,' said the older child. 'We'll pretend ". e don't advertise.' " REAL MAGNATE HER GUEST. "It has happened at last," exult ed the woman. "I have dined at the same table with a real magnate. I knew it would happen if I kept on going to that little Hungarian restaurant where they are, all mag nates, exiled princes and things. "It happened last night. I hadn't been there for a long time. I sat at the big square table where I al ways sit. Not far from me was a very distinguished looking man with iron gray hair and such a manner! He passed me everything on the ta ble. He bowed so courteously every time he did it in a noble way; noth ing servile; just a high and mighty courtesy, you might call it. At last I said to him : " 'This is an interesting little place, isn't it ? Have you ever been here before ?' " 'This is my first visit,' he re plied, with a smile. 'I heard so much of it I thought I would come down and look it over. I am in the same business myself.' He bowed and smiled again as he revealed the nature of his business. " 'I am head waiter at the Hotel Astor,' he said'--New York Press. Few Whites In Bolivia. Bolivia extends for nearly 1,200 miles from north to south and al most 700 miles from east to west. In all this vast extent of territory there are only about 1,600,000 peo ple, more than half of whom are full blooded Indians, degenerate de scendants of the valiant Incas. In number of inhabitants to the square mile the hermit republic ranks the lowest of all the nations of the world, having at the last census only ninety-nine one-hundredths of a person to every mile, while Tripoli, which comes nest in this respect, has one full inhabitant to the mile.

"Under Southern Skies," which is probably the best dramatic at traction ever seen in Corvallis, is a deiighltul picture of Southern life It is from the pen of Lottie Blair Parker, author of "Way Down East." The costuming is verv pretty, following the fashions of the period, as there are eleven ladies in the cast, and there is a variety of feminine fiiiery that is very pleas ing. The plav is of such marked success and possesses so much re fined entertainment that none can afford to miss it. J. R. Flynn, Prof. Marknm and rank Will of Albany were visitors in Corvallis, Saturday. xbere was but one lone deed filed at tbs office of Recorder Newton last week. It was not that Corvallis real estate fs not changing bands at a rapid rate, be. cause it IB, nor wss it because Recorder Newton was off on a bear hunt, for he was not. It all came about because Ore gonians were given a five days' holiday by the proclamation of Governor Cham berlain, and all legal business was at a standstill. The OeTvallis banks closed, out of respect to the Governor's edict, but business was carried on behind the placard on the door "Legal Holiday" and no one was greatly inconvenienced by the "holdup."

Philomath Snapshots. (Crowded out of Friday's issue for lack of space. ) Mr and Mrs Roric ot Toledb have purchased the Albert Wood place west of Philomath, taking immediate possession. L VauWinkle ot Heppner is visiting at the home of his mother and siste Mrs Lorena Wood, of this place. George and Frank Wyatt sold a carload of hay to D O Quick and it was loade"! last Tuesday and Wednesday. , I L Irwin, formerly of this vi cinity and later deputy county clerk of Benton county, is report ed as being quite ill with typhoid fever at his home at Watervule, Washington. There was an old fashioned "buskin' bee" at the borne of Mr and Mrs Wilson Scott last Thurs day night. The lads and lassi- s made meiry at the task bringing to view many red ears, with red cheeks, sparkling eyes and saucy lips in consequence. When the task was completed, the young people joined in a hilarious jolli fication until tbe midnight hour. Last week David Hood received a letter from Missoula, Montana, stating that his parents were very ill with a form of typhoid fever that assumed a spotted appear ance. Ills tatner was reportea as beyond recovery and his mother as very low. It has since been learned, however, that both are slightly improved and there is some hope of recovery. A defective board in a walk in the north end of town caused the downfall of a pedestrian and the destruction of a quantity of eggs. It was tortunate lor tne vic tim and also for the town that no more serious results need be re ported. Mr and Mrs Chester Todd and child of Beaver Creek visited at the A W Pugsley home a few days ago. Mrs. John Benntt has been quite ill with neuralgia. Mrs. C. W. Crabtree is also recovering from aserious attack of neuralgia. It there are any authentic or interesting notable items that "ye scribe" fails to record, it is be cause "ye Philomathites" fail to report them to the contributor of Philomath Snapshots. If any one knows anything worthy of publication notify, any business place of the burg or Philomath central of the Independent Tele phone Co. and it will be duly re ported to the Gazette, which publishes the greatest aumber and most interesting' news notes of Philomath and vicinity, of, any publication in this county or elsewhere. The Story ofa Medicine. Its name "Golden Medical Discovery" was suggested by one of Its most import ant and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, ot dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as It ever sinie has bVen, without a particle of alcohol in Its matfe-up. A glance Vettejfu list of Its ingredi ents, printed onverv bottle-wrapper, will show that It Is made from the most valuable medicinal roivtsVound growing In our American forestSJ All these In gredients have received tfre stro Iron ann been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, oi Buffalo, N. Y., and will be mailed free ta any one asking same by postal card, 01 letter addressed to the Doctor as above. From these endorsements, copied from standard medical books of ail the differ ent schools of practice, it will be found that the ingredients composing the "Gold en Medical Discovery" are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but also for the cure of all ca tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections, accompained with catarrhal discharges, hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or hang-on-coughs, and all those wasting affections which, if not promptly anil firoperly treated are liable to terminate n consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's Dis covery in time and persevere in its uss nntil you give it a fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles. It will not cure consumption m its advanced stages, jno medicine wul It will cure the affections that lead up te consumption, if taken in time.
