year of Pacific Academy, now
Pacific College, 1885-1886, Sam­

building stood on the present
aite of the Friends church and
was erected in 1884, the con­
tractors being Noah Heater and
Charles Vaughan. The lumber
came from a sawmill that was
operated on the Benjamin Heat­
er farm ont beyond Springbrook
by Jesse Edwards and John
Brown. Seven years later when
the college was established the
building was moved to the new
campus and was added to,
where it now stands.
The school was opened Sep­
tember 28, 1885, with Dr. H. J.
Minthorn as principal and W. R.
Starbuck, assjstant. During the
latter part of the year Mrs. Min­
thorn also assisted in the teach­
ing.
The school board was compos­
ed of E. H. Woodward, presi­
dent; David J. Wood, secretary
and treasurer; Jesse Edwards,
Jesse Hobson and George W.

A feed shortage is staring us in
the face. Every farmer should
store all the straw possible and
make it in part take the place o f
bay. Good clean straw from a
field where the grain was cut a
WM
little green is best. In some
cases it will be necessary to bale
the straw in order to store it»
but wherever loose straw can be
stored, it is advisable to avoid
the cost of baling.
A recent government bulletin
gives the value of wheat straw
as $3.01 per ton and oats straw
as $4.57 per ton. These figures
are based on normal prices for
other feed and normal prices for
live-stock and dairy products.
Based upon present prices straw* *
should be rated at dotfble the
above figures.
No attempt should be made t o
winter stock on straw alone. It
contains too large a percentage oi
crude fiber and the efforts neces­
sary to masticate and digest it
are too near equal the benefits
received from it. The greatest
benefits from straw are gotten
by feeding it with a light grain ra­
