The Oregon Agricultural

February IS, 1907, to be held at Cor
vail I a, iu the following language!
"To give Oregon farmers who are
unable to pursue four year course
In the Agricultural college, a share in
the advantages of higher education,
the oollege has for ninny years con
ducted Farmers' Institutes in varioos
parts of the state. Bnt the institute.
while It has its place, lias developed
another movement of perhaps greater
importance, that of holding a more
extended Institute, known as the Short
course. In Agriculture, Horticulture
and Dairying.
"The main conception of such
schools is that they are places where
people from the fiirm and orchard
practical formers and fruit growers
can uiidnrstuiidiugly study the ap
plication of some of the fundamental
laws of their occupation, lu an
nouncing the Short Course we feel
that we can imike it thoroughly
practical for any Intelligent agricul
turist and liortlotiltorint, and that
wo ran niiiko scientific agriculture
aud horticulture lioth educatiomil
and umful. Such a con me covers a
fluid which on account of luck of time
and apparatus for illustration cannot
be undertnkeu iu the regnlar Fanners'
iutsltutes.
"The course consists of a series of
populur lectures along linen suited to
aid hoitieult'irisls, daily nmn and
others engaged 111 agricultural pnr
suitH in developingg the great natural
resources of our state. The lectures are
all supplemented by lubratory work
nuder the superviHion of experts who
strive to imike the four He thoroughly
practical by adapting the work so fur
as possible to the needs of each indi
vidual. The primary study is of
things rather than book, and there is
always kept in mind the practical
side of the matter under discussion.
"There will be no cduciitioiial test.
No special preparation necessary as
the instruction will bo given by
lectures and practical work. It is the
aim of this course to give to the
student the largest possible a mount of
practical information regarding the
scleuce of agriculture. "

Damage Suit Crows Out of the
Wreck of Leet Year in
the S. P. Yards
The damage suit of N. A. Ambrose,
the mall clerk, against the S. P. Com
pany, which was called in the cironit
ooorc at Jacksonville last week, grew
out of an accident whioh oocrored in
the railroad yards at Grants Pass
about a year ago when the northbound
passenger train No. 10 dashed into a
freight train which was switching in
the yards at this place, Ambrose
wai at his post of doty in the mail
oar and reoeived injuries wbioh prac
tically disabled him from further
service, it is alleged in bis oomplaint,
and be asked for damages in the sum
of $30,000. Tbe defendant company
acknowledged a claim against it in
the matter, but not to the amount
aked by the plaintiff. J. A. Jeff
rey, formerly of Jackson county, is the
attorney for Ambrose, while the S,
P. Company is represented by its
regnlar counsel, Hon. W. D. Fentoa
of Portland.
ORDERS CAR LOAD
OF SEED WALNUTS
Nut Industry Having bl Wonder.
ful Growth In Oregon Many
Orchards Planted
Manager MoGill, of the Orogon
Nursery Company, at Salem, has ar
ranged with the Southern Paoifio for
car of walnuts .to be brought into
the state from California for seeding
purposes Small lots have been con
tracted for in tbe past from tbe Bear
state, and others have been received
from France and Englaud. This Is
the first . instance recorded that a full
car has been ordered.
The walnut industry is said to have
growu wonderfully in Oregon. At
Dundee, Thomas Prince has 17 acres
under cultivation and the second crop
was picked this year. He has set out
a number of s mall trees on a 200-aore
truot which is now bearing prunes.
When the walnut trees are matured
he proposes to grub out the prunes
Another orchard is maintained 011 the
Lndd farm, near North Yamhill, and
a third at Gaston, by F. K. Newell.
Why Thunder Sours Milk.
To many persons tbe curdling of
milk lu a thuudc rstorui Is a mysterious
and unintelligible phenomenon. Yet
tbe whole prjeess reallv is simple and
natural. Milk, like most other sub
stances, contains millions of bacteria.
Tbe milk bicteria that iu a day or
two, under natural conditions, would
cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity'
inspirits and invigorates them, affect-!
lug them as alcohol, cocaine or strong '
tea HtTects men. Under the current's '
influence they fall to work with ;
amazing energy and instead of taking i
a couple of days to sour the milk they '
accomplish the tak completely in half
an hour. It is not the thunder iu a I
storm that sours milk; it is the elec- i
trinity In the air that does it. With
an electric battery this is easy on the
same principle to sour the freshest
milk. A strong curreut excites the
tuierobos to supirmierobe exertions,
aud iu a few minutes they do a job
that under ordinary condiii ns would
take them a couple of days. New

TOWN'S LIVE LEAGUE
EXCELLENT WORK OF ENTERPRISING
WOMEN IN CRANFORD, N. J.
Eresorea Transformed, Streets and
Scboola Improved and Waate Places
Redeemed by Village ImproTe
nent Aaaoclutlon Twelve Vfari Old.
With a silver gray stream winding
Its tortuous way through the village
and an abundance of trees, it Is plain
even to the casual observer that Crnn
ford. X. J., was destined by the Cre
ator to be a beautiful place. But lu
the beginning, some twelve years ago.
Its citizens were not content to let the
mutter rest there. They wished to help
make it a beautiful place to live In.
It was about this time that the Im
provement league of this pretty tawn
was organized, and the fact of Its be
ing a prettier town today is the result
largely of the league's work.
The work of the first year was to
ward beautifying the spot on which
the building of tbe town newspaper
now stands, and when this was done
a barren space, where storekeepers
burned their rubbish and boys played
ball to the imminent danger of the
passerby, was wiped out of existence.
An ordinance obtained by the Village
Improvement league prohibited both
these evils and abolished tbe gathering
of tbe clans ou the corner opposite tbe
station.
In tbe former days, when any one
wished to build or repair the dock, the
river was let out to enable him to do
so, thus luconvenleuclug every one else
and running the risk of spreading dis
ease in hot weather.
Many complaluts
from the Improvement league resulted
In
uu uKreemcui 10 lei mil me river
only on request of three and then Jot
only one day. Those necessary im
provements were followed by a generul
clearing of the streets of litter and ash
heaps. During this the first year tbe
society became regulurly Incorporated.
The secoud year of tbe work of this
organization was marked by an at
tempt at street sprinkling. This was
successful In every way except finan
cially. Entertainments were given to
raise funds for a sprinkling cart and
horses; but alas, at tbe end of one sea
son It was necessary to dispose of one
of the horses lu order to straighten up
accounts. Nothing daunted, however,
tbe members of this organization DUt
tho nrhoe hnNA In ir. uwl l. ua IT wr a I
He wai
employed to drag a snow plow around
towu early In tbe day so as to clear
paths to school, station and stores.
The organization then turned Its at
tention to the . betterment of the
scboels. A committee elected for tbli
purpose on Inspecting the one frame
school building on Holly street found
It In a forlorn condition unclean, over
crowded. Insanitary and dangerous. A
fire or panic would have- resulted In
much loss of life. Tbe building, whlcb
bad been originally put up to accom
modate fifty pupils, bad been added U
In every direction. One stairway bad
been closed to make room -for anotbet
classroom, und thus tbe pupils were
more numerous and the means of exit
lessened. The light was bad and the
beating so Impossible that on cold
days the school was dismissed. Circu
lars were sent out, tho opera house
hired and speakers engaged to tell tbe
citizens of tbe bad conditions. Finally
a towu meeting was culled to decide
upon the question of a new school. A
controversy that arose between two
sections of tbe town as to the location
of the new building resulted hi tbe
erection of two Instead of one new

Inspector Continues to "Coal
oil" Fruit.
One of the most important decisions
to fruit growers that has been handed
down by the courts, is that of Judge
Frater in the circuit court of Multno
mah county Monday of last week.
J. H. Broetje, a Multnomah fruit
grower, had been selling wormy and
diseased fruit, and has been repeatedly
warned to desist, bnt paid no atten-
tio -nd Fpnli, Tnsnw,tnr Richard
Deich finally began a systematic
"Coal-oiling" of bis fruit. Mr.
Broetje brought a suit against the in
ipeotor in an attempt to have him
enjoined from doping the apples. The
judge decided that the inspector was
thoroughly within his rights, that the
law was constitutional and that it was
tbe duty of the inspector to prevent
the ale of diseased fruits.
