Michigan, a nephew of Robert
Campbell, landed in Corvallis
Friday. He expresses himself as
being highly pleased with the
town and expects to locate here.
Robert Campbell has it in his
head that some three or four
deer are anxiously awaiting his
arrival over in the Alsea country
so on Monday morning he pack-t
ed.up the necesary. trappings
: and started for tall timber. He
knows how to make it warm for
them.
The many friends of Hon. W
E. Yates will be pleased to learn
that he is . rapidly recovering
from the' serious illness of the
past week. Our latest report is
that he was able to sit up in the
bed. We shall watch the broth

always our friend when we called
for help.4;: -

JAPANESE INTENSIVE FARMING
The Way th Little Brown Folks TiP
Their Small Estates. ';.
U With very few exceptions the whoI
of the land under grain of any kind is
absolutely flat If It Is not so by na
ture the Japanese farmer levels and
banks It up'till it Is horizontal. In the
narrow .valleys there are elaborate
series of terraces running up the slope
of the hills till the fields become so
small as to accommodate but a double
row of plants. The more typical grain

country, , however, lies in broader val
leys or along the coast, where there are
many wide plains which' were once be
neath the' water. If one looks down
on these from a slight ' elevation hey
appear like some elaborately designd
mathematical figure or as though a
cloth had , been spread over: the earth
with mosaic patterns in gold and green.
Each little field is as nearly rectangu
lar as circumstances will allow. Many
of them, therefore, are perfect rectan
gles, for where the plain Is broad It is
easy to fit into it small fields ot twen
ty or thirty feet in length. .' Many of
the plats are even less than this. , Some
barley fields are only six feet by a
dozen or so ' v-' '
T4he pattern of this mosaic is vividly
marked out by the. coloring of the vari
ous crops, .Today the , barley, is ripe
and stands golden in the sunshine. The
rieeflelds, however, are but bare ex
panses of mud or water, for the rice is
not yet planted out, but is growing in
small, oblong fields by itself, which
show a vivid emerald green growth of
little plants only three' or four inches
lue euu 01 aiay some or taR
farmers ate begnning t0 reap their
ripe bsrlcy and wheat, and when this
. is finished they will be free to plant
out what is to them the much more
important crop, the rice. Reaping and
planting of grain together one may
see in the same acre.
There is no .- broadcast sowing of
grain here. ; Each seed grain has an
individuality and Is separately tended.
The barley is planted In rows, perhaps
three feet or six feet long, and each
row Is a foot or eighteen Inches from
the next, so that a worker can pass
between the rows to tend and weed
and finally to reap each individual
plant. In many cases each row grows
on a little semicircular ridge four or
five feet horizontally and about a foot
high, so that the barley is well draia
ed. though the next little field may lie
under several inches of water. In the
whole district of Okuna there wa?
only one of the ripe fields "laid" by
the wind, and that was one of the lar
gernearly thirty feet aeross. It Is not
to be Inferred from this that the Japa
nese farmers do not have to contend
with heavy winds and pitiless, .beating
rains. . . Japan is a particularly windy
country, and this, year has been .'a very
bad season, .for even . in April there
was heavy, snow snow so thick that

THE FEEDER.
4 Sheaf oats are one of the best feeds
grown for young stock. Fanners Ad-
vocate thinks oats in the sheaf are'
worth more for feed than in aDy other
shape. Cut early with a binder, stack
well and feed in the barn. The cows
and calves enjoy a little variety, and
a feed of sheaf oats will be much rel
ished. , ,
Appetizers foot Needed.,,
A breeder says: 'A farmer recently
asked me to name some kind of ap
petizer., for his . calves, which for a
few meals ate and drank well and
again would eat and drink nothing.
It is suspected that those calves were
being overfed. Never ..feed an animal
more than . it will clean up well at
each meal. . Feed in such a way that
the animal would eat just a 'little more
if the feed were to be had. This feed
ing direction followed, no recipes for
appetizers are needed." , .
Overfeeding and Underfeeding.
, There is more, danger of overfeeding
colts than underfeeding. Either one, I
however. Is disastrous.
Overfeeding
injures the digestive organs and leaves
the -system in a condition much more
liable to disease and disorders. Under
feeding means a stunted condition,
which is invariably a disappointment
Even with good breeding such a colt
will not develop into a profitable ani
mal. ,A healthy, vigorous growth is
the ideal thing to be sought
. Skimmed Milk For Pigs.
Pigs like skimmed, milk right from
the separator, and It makes an excel
lent feed, especially when a proper
amount of grain is added, as these ani
mals should be kept growing and fat
tening at the same time, says a dairy
man. The last of February I took a
Chester 'white pig. weighing'. 115
pounds, alive, and put tt in a pen alone
where it was warm and dry. It was
fed with the skimmed milk and one
quart of mixed grain three times -a
day. It was fed thus for fifty days
and then slaughtered. The dressed
weight was 178 pounds. I calculate
this was equal to two pounds of in
crease per day. live weight Mornlnsr
and night fresh sepanitcf milk was
fed.- . .
