Special Short Course In Poultry
O. A C. Farmer' Week,
Oregon Agricultural College", Cor
vallis A special short course in poul
try farming has been arranged for
farmers' week, December 9 to 14, at
the Oregon Agricultural college, and
Prof. James Dryden haa planned an
interesting schedule of daily lectures
accompanied by practical demonstra
tiona.
Types of poultry farming and differ
ent systems of management in the
various sections of the country will be
discussed, and original views on dif
ferent poultry farms throughout the
United States will be ahown. There
will also be views of plans of service
able and practical poultry houses for
the farm.
Breeding for egg-laying qualities
will form a prominent part of the in
tructional work, and representatives
of the different breeds will be shown,
Special emphasis will be placed on
egg-laying qualities and how good lay
era may be produced, in this connec
tion the results of the breeding work
at the experiment station will be sum
marized.
Hatching eggs under the hen will be
compared with various artificial meth
ods as to efficiency on the farm, and
brooding and caring for the chicks will
be studied in detail. Poultry foods
and egg rations will be discussed, and
Prof. Dryden will report the results
of feeding experiments at the station,
The preparation of fowls for market
will be given some attention, both as
to fattening methods and fattening
rations, and as to waya of killing and
dressing the fowls. Marketing poul
try products will also engage the at
tention of the visiting farmers. Mr.
Dryden has made a careful study of
the good and poor methods of handling
egg?, candling and grading, packing
and shipping to market, and the prac
tical demonstrations, will cover all
these points.
CHEMAWA HERD IMPROVED.
"Made-ln-Oregon" Campaign It Be
ing Waged Vigorously.
Portland "The Manufacturers' 'as
sociation ia preparing to extend the
campaign that we have been waging
for the increased purchase and use of
'made-in Oregon' goods throughout
the state the last year," said W. II
McMonies, president of the Manufac
turers' association.
The time haa now arrived for
greater action, and in thia it la the
desire of the association to have the
co-operation not merely of every
manufacturer, but of every citlien in
the state. We want the manufactur-
to get together to assist in con
ducting this worthy campaign, to help
us work more effectively for the good
of one and all.
"With this end in view, the associ
ation conceived the idea of issuing in
vitations to the state manufacturers
to come to the city during- the Land
show week in order that they might
get acquainted, learn of each other's
needs and prepare to wage more stren
uously the campaign for Oregon's pro
ducts before that of other states. In
this way, too, it is hoped that the peo
ple In general will be awakened to the
great necessity for loyalty to their
cities, their counties and their state.
while the loyalty of the manufactur
ers will be aroused in connection with
the use and the exploitation of the
raw products of the state.
"The society desires every jobber
and retailer to push the sale of and to
display effectively the maufactures
and the produce of Oregon, to place
such articles on the shelves and in the
windows of the stores; in fact, in all
the hundred and one ways known no
well by these business men to see to
it that our goods get as good a show
ing as those from elsewhere.

Modern Equipment to Be Provided
and Instruction Broadened
Chemawa The dairy herd at the
Salem Indian school has been improv
ed by the addition of ten fine Holstein
cattle recently purchased by Superin
tendent Harry E. Wadsworth. The
school herd for many years has not
furnished sufficient milk for the stu
dents, owing to the inferior grade of
cows. Superintendent Wadsworth in
tends to have a dairy herd of excep
tional quality ample to furnish the
students with plenty of milk.
The dairy barn will be remodeled
along modern ideas and equipped with
iron stanchions, concrete silos and
other modern improvements.
Instruction to be given the boys in
dairying is along practical lines.
They will be taught how to care for
and feed the dairy cow and the proper
care of milk, as well as how to make
butter and the growing of feed.

County Soon to Become Famous
Poultry, Writes Teacher.
Salem "I am in receipt of your
letter relative to the poultry contest,
which ia to become state-wide among
the school children of Oregon," writes
W. C. Bryant, of Moro, to Superin
tendent Alderman. "Sherman county
is especially adapted to a few things
and among those things poultry. With
a reasonably mild climate, with no
dews and many natural advantages
along similar lines, this : county should
become as well known for its poultry
as it is now famous for wheat and fine
draft horses."
He writes that plana are already
under way for entering next year s
contest and states that while other
entries will not be excluded, the
county is going to make a major in
poultry.
OREGON EXHIBIT SCORES.
Juice of Loganberry May Rival
out Grape Juice.
Portland Possibilities of the devel
opment of an important new industry
in Oregon, in the extraction and pre
servation for the market of loganberry
juice were discussed at the annual
meeting of the State horticultural so
ciety.
Professor Lewis, of the Oregon Ag
ricultural college, has been experi
menting upon loganberry juice as
market commodity for some time, and
especially during the past year he has
made careful investigations and ex
periments in the matter. He said
that he believed that loganberry juice
will prove superior to grape juice
when it is placed on the market in
commercial quantities, and that such
an industry may soon become a large
factor in the agricultural prosperity
of the state.
He said that 1000 acres would be
required to support a factory for the
manufacture of loganberry juice in
paying quantities for the market, and
expects soon to see several such fac
tories established in the loganberry
districts.
BOOKS AT COST IS PLAN.

cut over 18,000,000 feet of lumber

Springfield Orange Drafts Bill to Go
Before Legislature.
Springfied The Springfield Grange
haa outlined its proposed bill to pro
vide the school children of the state
with books and supplies at cost. A
draft of the proposed bill to be pre
sented to the legislature is as follows :
This is an act for a better and
more economical method of publish
ing and furnishing text books for the
use of all public and high schools in
the state of Oregon.
' Section 1. Be it enacted by the
house, the senate concurring, that all
text books for use in all public and
high schools of the state of Oregon
shall hereafter be edited, printed and
furnished to the schools of the Htate of
Oregon at cost of material, labor and
transportation.
"Section 2. It shall be the duty of
the county school superintendents to
furnish the state superintendent of
public instruction the approximate
number of books of each grade needed
and the destination of the same, not
later than the first day of July each
year. All books shall be delivered to
destination not later than September
1 of each year.
It is planned to attach an emerg
ency clause to the measure so that it
will become operative at once.
Women of Ashland Will Vote.
Ashland Ashland women will cast
their first vote December 17 at the
city election. Not only are they elig
ible to vote, after the governor s pro
clamation, on completion of the official
count of the ballots, but are also elig
ible for holding or becoming candi
dates for any of the offices, but ac
cording to head suffrage leaders they
will be content for the present with
only casting their vote, as they do not
care to pitch into another political
fight so soon after their recent vic
tory for suffrage.
