"In going through tho Portland market 1 waa struck with the iK)or quality of the chickens sent in tin-re by the farmers of the state. They were bo largely bone, with very little meat on them. I be lieve that they could be kent a little longer, to good advantage financially, if the farmers would put them out on the stubble Melds, where there are ul way quantities of waste grain to be picked up. I am sure there could be added a ound or two apiece to the weight of each bird, in good, solid (lean, bringing a much better price, and that with almost no financial out lay.

Agricultural Collage Feeds Dye to Poultry at State Fair. iMiiem. Or. An exhibit at the rair that is attracting great attention is that of "sky-blue-pink" chickens, and eggs with red yolks and pink whites both perfectly sound and wholesome shown by the poultry department of the Oregon Agricultural College. Dyes of coal-tar product, are fed the birds one day, and' the next day the eggs and birds show a gay difference, illustrating vividly the immediate effect the quality of food has on the eggs, the flesh, and even the feathers and toe-nails of the fowls. Young trees should not be permitted to go into winter in a soft and suc culent condition. Cracking of the bark at the ground, in the spring, fre quently happens where trees are not properly hardened in the fall, or where the ground is wet on the sur face during the first freeze of the real cold weather. About the only thing that can be done fa to bank them Up with earth, providing the bark has not loosened entirely around the stem of the tree, and permit them to heal in, It is only occasionally that a tree dies from these results, and usually it does not happen after the second or third winter of the orchard. Very fre quently iruit trees are frozen so solidly during tho winter that they split their bark, serious injury result ing. In such cases, trim oil the rag' ged edges of the bark, and paint the wound over, permitting it to heal over naturally during the summer. If this splitting continues it will kill the tree. The record cow for butter fat is the Ilolstein, and although the Holsteins as a rule give a large flow of milk, we find that the percentage of fat is gen erally low. This does not mean,, how ever, that the Ilolstein cow is the most economical producer of milk and fat. While in some cases we know that they will produce more econom ically than will the Jersey, we also Find many Jersey that will produce higher butter fat much more econom ically than the Holsteins. The type of cow that one should keep on the farm will depend on various condit ions, and while the Holatein cow may be the beat in one case, the Jersey will prove better in another. In mild climates, where the winters are not severe, the Jersey will do very well. The Ilolstein is of course a much larger cow and is able to with stand severe winters. EXPERIMENT STATION NOTESJ By R. W. Thatcher. Director Wellington E- penmentbtation, I'ullman. Pork may be pickled by using for each eighty pounds of meat, one pound of Bait, four pounds of sugar, one quart of molasses, and three ounces of saltpetre. The meat is well rubbed with salt and left in a pickle barrel for fifteen days, draining off the fluid from time to time. A second method is to use one bush el of fine salt, two pounds of brown sugar, and one pound of saltpetre, which would be enough for eight hun dred pounds of meat. The sugar im proves the flavor of the meat, and the saltpetre makes the pork firmer. Af ter a few days a little more of the salt mixture may be applied, rubbing it in if absorption is going slowly. All cut ends of bone must be thoroughly salted in, as decomposition is moBt likely to occur in such places. This method may be used where hams, shoulders, and bacon sides are packed together in the same barrel, the hams being packed at the top of the barrel to prevent them from becoming too salty. Re-salting should take place within ten days or two weeks accord ing to the weather. After four to six weeks the meat may be unpacked, washed, and smoked, or the salt may be left on the meat during the process of smoking. Before hanging in the smoke house the meat may be sprink led with black pepper or a mixture of black and red pepper. A molasses barrel is better than a whiskey barrel, but if a whiskey barrel is used, the interior should be charred first. This will remove the flavor of the whiskey Alfalfa makes an excellent pasture for hogs, and we have never found any injurious effects in pasturing our brood sows on it. Alfalfa will stand pasturing after it has beome well es tablished, but should not be pastured until it is at least a year old. Some grain should be fed to hogs that are on alfalfa, barley or wheat usually, 'in this Western country. When it comes to feeding cows, on account of the high protein content of alfalfa hay, it would not be weir to use oil meal and bran, unless these The Last Luxury, Ten-year-old Arthur had been tell ing impressively of the number of servants employed ' in his home. He continued: "And our house is fixed so that if you want a drink, or; a win dow raised, or to go upstairs, or any thing, all you have to do is to pull a chain!" "But what do you want with so many servants in that sort of a house?" asked one of his hearers. "0," replied Arthur, "we have the servants to pull the chains." By orchardists it is generally con sidered to be a poor plan to run hogs in an orchard, as they ace likely to injure the trees. However, if it is decided to handle them in this way, they should also be fed ground barley, or wheat, or middlings, depending on the market price. for producing gains, barley is almost equal to wheat, pound for pound, and produces a most excellent quality of pork. For young pigs, middlings will give somewhat better results than the others. Where grain is being UBed without pasture, it will require about five hundred pounds to produce one hundred pounds of gain. Knowing the values, one can estimate whether or not it will be safe to raise hogs under given market conditions. Pork can be produced much more cheaply where pasture can be used in conjunction with the grain. The best method of preserving but ter, and the method that is used al most exclusively is by chilling it to a freezing point or below and keeping it until ready to use in that condition. This is the way they store all storage butter, but on the farm very good re sults have been obtained by keeping it in strong salt brine solution. The butter is packed in stone jars and the brine is poured over the top and left in as cool a place as possible until you are ready to use it. You will find that great care must be taken in the se lection of the cream and the care of the butter in this kind of storage, but if proper methods are used in hand ling, the butter can be kept from four to six months in good condition. The amount of salt necessary in butter depends largely upon the mar ket requirements and varies from three-fourths of an ounce to an ounce and a half per pound of butter, one ounce per pound being the average. The temperature at which cream should be churned will vary accord ing to the conditions from as low as fifty degrees iri the summer time to 65 degrees in the winter. We cannot set a temperature at which you should churn. The temperature will have to be determined by experimenting and should be such as will bring the butter in small granules after about thirty to forty minutes after starting to churn. OLD FRONTIERSMAN'S FUL BATTLE FOR WONDER. LIFE. Horribly Mangled by Orlxxfy Bear, He Was Left In the Wilderness to Perish. An eple story In Its essence Is th story of heroic men battling, aided or or frustrated by the superhuman John C. Nelbart, In "Tb Klver and I," say that Americans do not write epic, tbey live them; and be recalls the story of oil Hugh Glass, which be declare to be wonderful enough to be the foundation of a tremendous Aeschylean drama. He describe blm a a giant to endure, and an angel to forgive. lie wa In the Leavenworth cam paign against the Arkaraa, and after ward went a a hunter with the Henry expedition. He bad a friend, a mere bay, and tbe two were very close. One day Glass, who wa In advance of the party, beatinc ud the country for game, fell In with a grizzly, and when the main party came up. he lay horribly mangled, with tbe bear standing over blm. Tbey killed tbe bear, but the old man seemed done fir. His face had all It features craped off, and one of his legs 'went wabbly when they lifted blm. It wa merely a matter of one more man being dead, so the expedition pushed on, leaving tbe young friend with several others to see the old man underground. But tbe old man was a fighter and refused to die, though he waa uncon scious. He fought stubbornly for sev eral days, but it seemed plain enough that he would have to let go soon. So the young friend and tbe others left tbe old man In the wilderness to finish up the Job by himself. Tbey took his weapons and hastened after tbe main party, for the country was hostile. Hut one day old Glass woke up and got on of his eye open. When he aw bow thing stood, he vowed that he would live, merely for the sake of killing his false friend. He crawled to a spring near by, where be found a bush of ripe bullberrles. He watted day after day for strength, and finally started out to crawl a small matter of 100 mile to the nearest fort He did It Also he found his friend after much wanderings and forgave him. Youth Companion. Guard Your Ideals, How true it is that without a vision the people perish, says Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. Where the pursuits are sordid, where the highest aim is the all-absorbing am bition to make money, everything that is finest, cleanest and most beautiful in life evaporates; the nature coars ens. This is the threatening picture of American character today. The vast resource and great com mercial prizes of this country are so tempting, so fascinating, that by the time they are ready for active life our youth are so saturated with com mercialism, so ambitious to coin every bit of their ability, their education, their influence, their friendship, al most everything, Into dollars, that all else is neglected. They lose their ideals, which are the true test of character.

We generally find that cows that have had their calves running with them as long as three weeks are very hard to manage so as to get a maxi mum amount of milk. If it is possi ble it would be better to wean the calf while it is only a few days old, and then by careful manipulation of the udder, there should be no trouble in having the cow let down her milk.

The Ladles' club of Napa county had charge of the collec tion of the funds for the erection of the monument and had no difficulty In raising the necessary sum within a very short time. The monument Is erected near Cal- lstoga at an elevation of 2,400 feet, and upon the trail which leads up the side of Mount St. Helena to the sum mit It was at this place that In the early days Stevenson brought his bride, and there he wrote "The Sil verado Squatters."

He groaned, he turned and twisted, he howled, he sat up and lay down again. He arranged his pillow and pressed it against nis lace with an other groan. ' His wife slept on and never moved. He wanted attention, he wanted sympathy, and he groaned agala Still she slept Injury added to the pain; It wasnt treating a fellow right to sleep like that when he was suffering with a painful tooth, and he called her name. Still she slept. He had groaned three times as loud as he could, and she didn't awake. Then the baby, in Its crib in another room, sighed softly in its sleep. The woman was on her feet and standing beside Its crib, anxious-eyed, in an instant. "And I actually thought," said the man, "that she loved me most!"
