ARMSTRONG PHEASANTRY
New Enterprise Inaugureited
Near JacUson ville.
Prof. A. P. Armstrong of this city
is to manage the largest pheasant ry iu
the state of Oregon. This enterprise,
which will include the prrirmgiitiou
of all the hardier varieties of these
strange, and once wild birds, is to be
carried out on. tho mammoth poultry
farm of Prof. Armstrong, now iu op
eration near Medford, Oregon. An
gora cats, Japanese spaniels and fer
rets are also to bo raised. Tho farm
contains 300 acres of tho best laud
iu that section of the country, and,
although a portion of It is given over
to orchard products, all may bo
placed at the disposition of tho
pheasants and other feathered fowl
should occasion arise.
Homer Duvcnjiort, the celebrated
cartoonist, owns tho largest pheasant -ry
iu tho world, located near East
Orange, N. J. It is from Mr. raven
port's farm that Professor Armstrong
is to obtain by far the larger portion
of his birds, although some have been
ordered direct from Asia through a
Portland firm.
Kggs and birds will be placed on
sale und it is tho intention of Mr,
Armstrong to uiako his, farm the
general western depot for these fowls.
Ilantani liens will be exclusively em
ployed to hatch tho pheasants and care
for them until they reach an age
where they can bo depended upon to
obtain their own food, or iu barnyard
parlauco "scratch for themselves."
This condition is reached by jiheas-
ants at a much earlier ago than w ith
domestic poultry, because of their
natural tendencies.
"Tho farm at Medford is iu charge
of my brother and lio will havo per
sonal supervision over it. I do not
intend to leave my business here.'
Asked what varieties of pheasants
had been ordered from Asia, Mr.
Armstrong said :
"Uoldeii Pheasants and Silver Tips
havo boon ordered from Japan and are
expected to arrivo shortly. It will be
snmo little time before the birds,
which are to bo supplied by Mr.
Davenport tiro sent west. I cannot
namo eatdi variety. There aro many,
all hardy and capable of propagation
in tho Oregon climate.
"Iu addition to the poultry there
will be a section of my farm devoted
to Angora cats, Japanese spaniels and
ferrets. I do not know in just what
numbers these will, bu handled., but
I will endeavor to supply the western
market nt least, and all orders coming
from no matter what soureo will be
honored. This is a portion of the
business I do not care to discuss at
length. " Portland Journal.

NOVICE AND PROFESSIONAL
Glamour of Mfnintf Industry
Blinds Eyes of Many,
There is probably uo vocation iu
the line of human endeavor which is
more enticing, or lias more glamor as
sociated with it than that of iniuuig.
There is also, it can be truthfully
said, no occuiatiou which ) requires
more deep study, more application
and more practical experience than
this industry, to qualify a person to
follow it successfully.
It is a business to which there is
uo cud, it is continually going on
with rapid strides. Especially is this
trno w hen tho science of metallurgy is
added to the extraction of the metals
from the earth, Methods of mining
and means of manipulating ores, are
more or less changing all the time,
and alert the miner or metallurgist
must bo who keeps iu touch with all
the improvements bo he can be up-to-date.
Notwithstanding tho abovo facts,
there are possibly more exports in both
branches of this business than iu any
other knowy.
Somehow, thoso who have an un
usual amount of gall, to uso a com
mon phrase, when they aro fortunate
enough to get an audiuueo with an in
vestor, and have loaded themselves up
with a number of scientific, tonus, can
cause the man with money, if he be a
novice, to think that they know all
tho secrets of a profession which it
has taken a qualified iierson many
years and cost him considerable
money to acquire.
There is quite a difference between
the educated man iu tho miniug'aud
metallurgical professions and the ex
pert who has picked up his knowledge
from observation. The former is
generally modest. Ho has an up-to-date
ollleo in which all necessary in
struments aro kept for performing
work of precision. He remains in his
oltice when not otherwiso engaged,
ami meets and arranges his business
Affairs with his clients there. Iu fact
there is now nearly as much of a code
of ethics among tho scientific men of I
mining alliurs as thero is iu tho med
ical profession.
On the other hand, tho would-be,
the if rsou who has a smattering of
the business, is on the curbstone ; lis
is on the lookout for the tenderfoot
He is liable to buttonhole him any
where and, if the stranger is easy, ho
is likely to part with some of Ills
wealth in exchange fur a mining
claim which would not lie recommend
ed were he to employ a person who
has a reputation to keep sacred, and
who is fully capable of coming very
close to the merits or demerits of any
thing of a mining nature.
In these days there is no necessity
for anyone to bo taken in 011 a mining
deal, unless they belong to that class,
described by the Into P. T. Illinium,
thoso who love to he humbugged. Of
course if a man wishes to gamble, it
is bis glorious privilege as long as lie
violates no law, and thero is probably
no more fascinating form of court iuv
Dame Fortune's favor than trying his
luck seeking for wealth which lies
hid. Ion in the bowels of the earth.

TK GraaUst Problem.
How to save a drunkard Is great
problem. That he can be saved at all
is not oertain. With weakened will
on the one side and habit strong on
the othor, drunkards by the thousands
are staggering on toward their graves.
To make an effort to save all of them
or any of them, is a brave thing. He
who makes it deserves the respect if
not the praise of his fellow men.
One takes the risk of being disbelieved
who makes the assertion that any
oliuis of men stands in greater need of
salvation than drunkards, I am
willing, however, to take the chance
by afllrming that tbe Christian man
hood of this country, with a few not
ablo exceptions, is in danger little
less grave, if any, than the poor victims
of drink who yield to the force of
habit. A few brief statemuuts only
are needed in explanation.
The business iu making drunkards
is legal. The law reooguizes it and
protects it. The man, who, by the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
beverages, furnishes the necessary co
operation to apiwtito to produce
drunkouness is acting within the law
and his legal rights. It is a fearful
thing for a government to give protec
tion and sanction to such a bad,
wretched business. Our does give
such sanction and support
We express ourselves through polit
ical parties. Ours Is a government
by political parties. Not the best
kind, perhajiti, for government with
out Klltical parties, were it possible,
might be bet tel. He that as it may,
ours is a government by means of
political parties. The Christian
citizen who works with a political
inrty or who votes its ticket, makes
himself responsible for the pnlloy
which that party pursues. It is im
possible for a man to vote a party
ticket without assuming responsibility
(or party action.
The dominant political parties are
committed to tho license of the liquor
t raff la This can be supjsirted by
nitlng the differeut states in the
Union. With few exceptions every
one of them fosters, protects, and
legalises the liquor, business. The
federal government does the same.
The isilicy of the states and of the
federal government must be the poli
cies of the parties In power, or tho
situation would be changed. We
know the party in power in Illinois Is
a aaloon-licensiug party because that
state has a saloou-lioeuslng policy.
Since Kentucky has a saloon-linens-
ing policy, we know the party In
power is a aaloon-lloensliig party,
Kvery Christian man who votes with
either of the political parties com
mitted to that policy fastens upon Ills
own soul responsibility for the guilt
and sin of his state. Can it be said
that tbe Christian men of this country
are iu no danger, when a con u try
where Christian men are iu coutrol
pursues such a wicked policy?
A campaign is needed for tho sav
ing of Christian manhood. Great is
the Incentive to work for the drunkard,
(ireater is the incentive to work with
the Christian voter who votes for
license. When Christian government
legalize and sanctions a sinful thing
something is radically wrong. Home
body is in danger. Oliver W. Scott.

cident might easily havo resulted
fatally for some of tho workmen.
BASEBALL LEAGUE DEAD

The Southern Oregon baseball league
has probably become a thing of the

Tho baseball people of that town
have refused to enter into any agrees
meut, aud, in fact, don't exjicct to
have any baseball this year at alL
With that town out of It, tho pro
moters of the scheme could not see
their way clear to come out eveu on
the proiosition. Local teams playing
against each other would not prove of
sufficient drawing power to make ex
penses. 80 the project has been re
luctantly dropis'd. Modf ord Mail.
