It ii the purpose of the Hoard .of liegentsiio establish three, ex periment station. in the State onOiin; Kaslcru Oregon, ono in Southern Oregon., sind one at the college. Hcvor itl placcE.in both sections have already presented their claims for tho location of these stations and there is no reason why Umon should not present here. Almost tho first work of the present Board of Ilegents .was to arrange a courscjof study which would meet tlie needs of the industrial classes of the State, and make the institution what it was designed to be strictly an agri cultural aud mechanical colleire. It is the only institution in the state that offers a thorough industrial education both theoretical and practical to i.s pupils. Its requirements for ladmisHion are a satisfactory examination in Arithme tic, elementary English Grammar, Heading, Writing, Spelling, and Ge ography; but a Preparatory Depart ment is connected with the College for the instruction of such students, over 1") years of age, who foil .to pass the zegular College examination. In English tho course includes Eng lish Grammar, United States And Gen' eiul History, Logic, Rhetoric and Poll tieal Economy. Iu mathematics, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry; and in applied Mathematics, Surveying, Hood-making Lovoling and Mechanics. In.ygrieulture, Breeds of Domestic Animals their characteristics and adaptinn, drainage, soil-tillage and ro tation of crops, and the origin and for mation of toil, and tho History of Agri culture, etc. In Botany and Horticulture the flora of the State is carefully studied, and practical work in budding, grafting, pruning, fitting plants and harvest ing fruits i waited upon. Iu Chemistry and Physics, qualita tive mid quantitative analysis in add tiou to the regular class room work is required. Book-keeping, Physiology, Bee-Cul-ture aud Pine Hmid Drawing arc also taught. In the doj artment of Household Economy and Hygieno the girlfl, un ilcr the chirgo of'u lady, suto taught sewing aad dressmaking and fitting, oeoking aud physiology, instead of agri cniture ad surroyiug.

Tiicliscipline, which c, military, is firm but not rigorous, antl a prompt, cheerful obedience is at all times in sisted .upon. The design and aim of tlie .college is to receive the students froiuithe farm, educate them upon the farm,. and then return them to the farm to pursue fann ing, witik an education that, instead of driving them from the farui, .enables them to follow farming in aai intelli gent and scientific manner. After the address of Prof. Letcher the audience was entertained with a -duet by Mesdames Lloyd and Cooper.; a declamation by L. J. Davis aud some excellent instrumental music by Misses Fannie, Edith and Inez Wright. On Thursday at 1:20 p. in. Prof, French read a papor on tho "Different Breeds of Animals aud Adaptation to Particular Uses." Tho Prof, was listened to with great interest. The native home of the different breeds and the conditions of their life there was reviewed. The necessity w shown of continueing our efforts at breeding these cattle hero iu the same vjincs in which they excelled at home. lU'he history of our native cattle, so called, was dwelt upon at length. The Devon, Hereford, Polled Angus, Gallo way, snort Horn anil Durham each received attention aud their merits as beef or dairy cattle compared. A chart was shown on which was indi cated comparative weights, and gains in weight, of the different breeds of cattle en an experiment at the Michi gan Agricultural College in 1888. A diacussion followed by Mr. W- T. Wright, Judge Sanders, Prof's. Lotcher and Washburn, Hon. Dunham Wright ilon. L. 1$. Binehart xnd others. Mr. Weight thought that corn had more to do with an animal's capacity toondure a eeverc winter than many poople believed. Ho gave it asj his opinion that dark colored cattle could endure more than the light colored ones He tlwught thmt the Short Horn cattle were the best for Eastern Oregon. After the dieciuwion a charming song was rendered by the Misses Driver and Dotson. Mr. W. T. Wright then delivered an excellent address on "Dairy Farming." He stated that for the host "gilt-edgo butter" the Jersey cow was first and foremost. In this all seemed to agree with him. The points of a good Jer sey cow, as established by tho Atneri can Jersey Cattle Club were cited. A discussion on this subject followed by Mr. J. M. fielder, Prof's French and Letcher, Mrs. Hendcrshott and Mrs J. B. Eaton and others. Mrs. Eaton dwelt at some length on. tho details of butter making. When trying to make the very best of butter she prefers to take the butter from the churn when the grains are the size of a mustard Beed and not as largo as wheat grains. Aftor a few remarks by Chairman Binehart the meeting adjourned till evening. The evening session was called to order by Chairman Binehart and L. J. Davis was appointed secretary. The choir rendered a superb anthem, and little Miss Bello Hondersoil of Sparta delighted the audience with a declamation. An address on "Hoods and Boad Building" was then delivered by Prof. Letcher. He showed the necessity of good roads and the vast aid they are to commerce, tho development of the country and social intercourse, und cited tho effect bad on different nations by good and substantial highways. Ho said that Oregon is badly in need of good toads and that the legislature would do well to make liberal appro priations for the purpose of improving the roadj. II hoped that the isolated valleys and mineral lauds of Oregon I sivo steam hoisting and pumping ma would soon be brought into easy com-1 ehinery, and an incline shaft on tho munication with the markets of the world by tho construction of substan tial highways. He dwelt. at some length on the best methods of build ing roads and keeping them in repair, lie thought that experienced engi- be appointed for each dutv it should be to oversee tlie construction of all ronls. ledgo will be sunk 1500 feet below tho present workings and at each 100-foot level a drift will be run on the ledgo 100 feet cither way from the shaft. When this is done a plant of 100 tons daily capacity will be immediately built by the present owners. The "Gold Hidge" group from which were some rich specimens, embraces The address was followed by .an in-1 tho "Gold Hidge," "Legal Tender" and struniental duet by Mrs. Hull and I "Hidden Treasure" owned bv Homier- Miss Kennedy. Turner Oliver read an original poem by Judge Braiuard, ontitled "Tho Valo of Grande Hondo" aud concluded with a declamation on titled "On The Farm." A vocal solo was excellently rendered by Miss Bertha Bloch. .Dr. Jay Guy lowis of Sparta, ws introduced and iu a most eloquent and entertaing manner gave a vivid des cription of Eagle valley and tlie won derful ledges and placer mines of Spar ta. At the close of his address ho presented the mineral collection, which was sent iu by the citizens of Sparta, to the Agricultural College. The collection of fruits sent in by tho citizens of Eagle valley ho presented to the editors of Tun Scout and Bopubli can, with tho exception of tho big watermelon, wiucn no donated, un conditionally, to Prof. Letcher who .had been keeping awishful eye on it during tho entire session. Mr. Davis, of the Hepublican, thanked tho donors on behalf of the press. A discussion on the diseases of Jer sey cattle was then token up and con tinued at-como length. A vocal solo was rendered Ly Mr. Mat Hall, and a piano -solo by Miss Fannie Wsfght. On motion tho thank: of tho Insti tute was tendered to Dr. ..lay GuyLow- ds, Mr. Jleqj. Longloy, Capt. Craig and .Mr. H. A. JJarrows for tho interest they took in the work ami for their labor iu ibringing so far tho exhibit of ithe producUs-of Eaglo valley. On Friday s 1 :1!0 p. in. Prof. F. L. Washburn, of tho college was intro duced and .delivered a very interesting and instructive lecture on thp olmrao- toiistics of fruit, pests that now infest the orchards of itlio state and the best methods of .destroying them. In the ccourse of his remarks ho gavo the re fiultsof experiments made at the col lego farm and described how tho groon apis could be exterminated with soap, tobacco etc. Ho introduced a gopher trap which he recommended; spoke of tho work of the fotomoligist, showin the implements used, ?.ud hoped that every farmor will soon havo a library and exerciso his brains as well as his muscels. Hon. J. II. Hendcrshott spoke in high terms of tho exhibit and gavo his ideas of fruit raising. He would set out trees at least .'!0 feet apart and place two boards iu a V shapo on tho southwest side of each treo to protect it. Ho thought that there cannot he too much irrigating provided tho va- ter runs off. Timothy he thought, was poisonous to fruit trees. Judgo O. P. Goodall delivered an excellent address on "Diversified Farm ing" an'd Prof. French spoke upon the j-uccess of crops in Oregon.
