on tho subject of catching cold, which
cannot fail to be of value to all women who
catch cold easily.

It Should be Men According to Di

First Appearance of the Cold.
. St. Joseph, Mich., Sept., 1901. Last
winter I caught a sudden cold, which
developed Into an unpleasant catarrh
of the head and throat, depriving me of
my appetite and usual good spirits. A
friend who had been cured by Peruna
advised me to try it, and I sent for a
bottle at once, and I am glad to say that
in three days the phlegm' had loosened,
and I felt better, my appetite returned
and within nine days I was in my usual
S;ood health.

KASPARILLA
TLis sterling household remedy is most
auccessfully prescribed for a "world of
troubles." For derangements of the di
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. , Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi
ness, headache, backache and despond
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

Only a few years ago the only article
tasting of maple was maple sugar.
There is-now an article on the market
that is so like the real maple sugar
that even old Vermonters are unable
to tell the difference. In fact, on ac
count of its healthful qualities, being
a purely vegetable product, neither
sticky nor sickly, it is preferred by
many people who formerly used only
the regulation maple sugar. .
This new extract is called Mapleine.
It is a Seattle product and can be used
to advantage by the housewife in a
variety of ways. For instance, a syrup
like maple can be made by simply dis
solving granulated sugar in water and
adding a few drops of Mapleine.
The Crescent Manufacturing Com
pany who make Mapleine have pub
lished a booklet called Mapleine Dain
ties. This will be sent free on request
to anyone, who asks for it. It is full
of wholesome recipes.

VALUE OF WHEAT.
Good Profit May Be Made by Feeding
to Poultry at High Prices. j
By Junes DryJen, Poultryman. Oregon Agricul
tural College. Corvallia.
The prices of poultry and eggs fol
low closely the trend of wheat prices
and of corn prices, the two staple poul
try foods in the United States. The
tendency is for poultry keepers to cur
tail the flock of poultry when prices
of food are high, and to increase the
flock when the prices of food are low.
When the grain prices rise more poul
try are sent to market, and later on
there is a scarcity of both poultry and
eggs. -
The question for the poultryman and
the farmer to consider in this connec
tion is, at what prices of grain does
it pay the farmer to market the grain
rather than feed it to the poultry, for
the business of the farmer is to get the
most out of the soil, whether it be in
raw or concentrated products. It is a
fine point to determine just where the
profit in feeding poultry as well as
other livestock disappears in the up
ward tendency of the price of grain;
in other words, at what point is there
a parting of the ways between a profit
and a losst
The general tendency among farmers
is to sell the grain, rather than feed
it, long before the parting of the ways
has been reached, and it is a knowledge
of this fact that assures the skillful
and persistent feeder of a profit. The
parting of the ways comes very soon
to the majority of feeders. One man
may be telling the exact truth when
he says that he can make no profit in
feeding seventy-five-'cent wheat, and
another may be equally truthful when
he says he can make a profit in feed
ing one-dollar wheat. The difference
in the two men is a difference in skill
in feeding. With good stock and good
care the skillful reeder will make a
irofit in feeding high-priced grain, but
no one ' can make a profit with poor
'ttock and poor care at any price for
;rain.
The price of wheat is higher now
than it has been for probably ten or
fifteen years, and it is frequently said
that it is too high to feed to chickens,
Two or three things should be con
sidered in this connection. First, the
prices of poultry and eggs will rise if
many chickens are marketed, and the
fanner who keeps his chickens will
make as much profit as he did when
the price of wheat was low. That is,
the price of poultry products will ad
just itself to the prices of grain. Sec
ond, how much does it really cost to
feed a hen for a year! Does any one
knowt
In experiments made by the writer,
covering several years, in which every
ounce of food was weighed, six pens
of Leghorn hens consumed during the
year 564 pounds wheat, 296 pounds
corn, 203 pounds oats, 112 pounds bran
and shorts and 235 pounds skim milk,
in addition to some animal food. The
cost of the total food per fowl for the
year varied in different pens from 61
cents to 78 cents, and averaged 66
cents. The wheat was charged at 1
cent a pound, corn at 14 cents, oats
at a cent, skim milk at a fifth of a
cent and bran and shorts at three
fifths of a cent. The animal food cost
from 5 to 6 cents per fowl. The wheat
constituted nearly a half of the total
cost. -
The hens laid an average of 344 eggs
per fowl, valued at $1.68 at local p -ices
for eggs. The prices were from 10
cents ' to 25 cents per dozen, much
lower than the prices are in Oregon
at the present time. If wheat had been
worth, say, 90 cents and had been
charged for at that rate, and bran ;t1
1 cent a pound, the cost per fowl
would have been about 16 cents more,
or 80 cents instead of 66 cents. But
eggs are also higher in price than they
were then.
Taking the monthly egg yield of the
six pens of Leghorns and computing
the value of the eggs laid each month
at the average wholesale prices of eggs
in Portland during the past two years,
the- results would be as follows:
Eggs Price
laid. perdoz. "Value.
November ... 40 35c $ J.17
December ...122 35c 3.00
January 243 26c 4.40
February ....238 25c 4.90
March 336 20c 5.60
April 499 Wo 8.30
May ..428 18o 6.33
June 397 20o 6.62
July 384 20o 6.40
August 393 25c 8.20
September ...221 25c 4.60
October 97 . 30o 2.40
$61.92
'In place of eggs worth $1.68 per
fowl, if their value be computed at
present prices in Portland they would
be . worth $2.58 per fowl. In other
words, on the basis tit present prices,
food costing 80 cents when fed to hens
produces eggs worth $2.58. This is a
pretty good margin of profit in feed
ing 90-cent wheat.
It may be said that the average
flock ef hens does not lay 144 eggs per
fowl. That is true. It is also true
that 144 eggs per fowl is not phenom
enal. The right kind of hens properly
attended should average 150 and well
bred hens considerably more. The av
erage farm flock will not average 125,
probably not 100.
In these experiments all the -food
eaten was paid for ' at market prices
and the cost averaged only 66 eents
per hen.. The eost would have been
only 80 eents if the wheat had eost 90
cents per bushel. The farmer, how.
ever, who keeps fifty or a hundred
hens can do better than that, for on
the average farm that number of hens
may be kept largely on the waste pro
ducts or by-products of the farm. They
will find the anise) food in the fields
in the shape of bugs, grasshoppers,
E(f and Tomato.
One pint tomato Juice, two tables
poonfulB butter, two tablespoonfula
flour (creamed together), one-half tea
poonful salt, dash of pepper, five eggs.
Heat the Juice, then add the creamed
butter and flour, salt and pepper, nd
cook five minutes. Butter a baking
dish, put in the egg (not beaten), then
cover with the cooked mixture. Put
bread crumbs on top and brown twenty
minutes in ores.
worms, etc., and there will usually be
skim-milk or buttermilk. There need
therefore be no cost for animal food,
resulting in a saving of 8 to 10 cents
per fowl. The clover or grass they eat
will have little marketable value. The
destruction of grasshoppers in the
clover and grain fields and of bugs in
the orchards will, where these insects
are bad, oifset a large part of the an
nual cost of food tor the fowls in
better crops.
In experiments with larger breeds
the cost of feeding was greater. The
cost of feeding Plymouth Bocks aver
aged $1.15 per fowl and of Wyandottes
$i.U0. This extra cost is largely offset
when the fowls are marketed, the
larger breeds bringing more than the
small breeds.
In answer to an inquiry relative to
the way in which to tell the difference
between the edible mushroom and the
poisonous variety, the station replied:
"There are so many different species
of mushrooms, and they are so nearly
like the poisonous varieties, that it is
impossible for an inexperienced person
to detect the difference. Botanists do
not usually recognize any difference be
tween mushrooms and toadstools. The
best way is t learn to recognize cer
tain species ef edible mushrooms, even
though the number be few. A common
variety, known botanically as 'Agaricus
campestrias L.,' is not poisonous, and
by the following description you may
be able to recognize it:
"The stem is cylindrical, or tapers a
little toward the lower end. Near its
upper end is a sort of collar, usually
termed a 'ring,' which encircles it.
This is very delicate, white like the
stem, and of very thin, satiny texture.
The circular, expanded disk into which
the stem fits is called the 'cap.' The
surface is sometimes white, although
sometimes brownish, and usually cov
ered by a thin layer of delicate threads.
The flesh or inner portion is more com
pact, and is white also. Numerous thin
plates, or 'gills,' are on the under Side
of the cap, which radiate from near the
stem to the margin of the cap. When
the plant is very young the gills are
first white, but soon become a dark,
pink color, and in age changes to dark
brown. Tho substance of the stem is
loss compact at the center, but the stem
is not really hollow, though in some in
stances there are slight indications of
it. This mushroom will be found in
sod, where shade is plentiful.
"It is probable that the mushroom
responsible for a majority of the deaths
from eating this plant is the Amanita
phalloides. . By a novice, it might eas
ily be taken for the Agaricus campes
tris. However, the former usually oc
curs in the woods, while the edible va
riety just described occurs in open
places. Professor G. F. Atkinson, of the
botany division of the Cornell univer
sity agricultural experiment station, de
scribes, the Amanita phalloides as fol
lows: "It is pure white, and possesses an
annulus or collar, but what is most
important the base of the stem rests in
a cup-like envelope called the volva.
. . . The pilous in this form is
smooth,, viscid to the touch, and pure
white, as is also the annulus, stem and
volva, though the latter is soiled by
particles of earth. The stem is nearly
cylindrical, tapering slightly from the
bulbous base. It is hollow, or stuffed
with cottony, mycelial threads. The
gills are usually pure white, even in
age, and are nearly free from the stem.
When decaying the plant emits a very
disagreeable odor." From Washington
State college, Pullman.
An inquiry which will be of interest
to fruit growers of southwestern Wash
ington and northwestern Oregon was
referred to the department of horticul
ture. It follows:
"Kindly give me some advice con
cerning the growing of raspberries and
blackberries under the conditions found
in southwestern Washington. I would
be obliged to you for information con
cerning the growing of plums, cherries
and apples in this region."
Professor W. S. Thorn ber replied:
"You will have no difficulty in
growing raspberries and blackberries in
your part of the country, providing you
use good judgment in selecting your va
rieties and in planting. If the low land
is well drained you had better plant
blackberries, but if the land is not well
drained you will have difficulty in
growing any form of small fruit there.
However, the blackberry will come
nearer to growing in poorly drained land
than the raspberries will. In choosing
varieties of blackberries, use the Mam
moth for extra early, the Snyder for
middle early and the Evergreen for
late. Raspberries require a dryer and,
especially, well drained soil, and with
such conditions in your part of the
state you should be able to grow re
markable crops of them. The Cuthbert
is the standard for commercial work on
the west side; also the Antwerp, the
Superlative and the Marlboro are excel,
lent berries for growth there.
"Plums will do well upon a ver
moist soil, and will stand a poorly
drained soil better thsn the majority of
other fruits. The Peach, the Yellow
Egg, the Tragedy, the Willard, the Lom
bard and other varieties almost without
number will do well in the region you
refer to. Almost any cherry will suc
ceed there. The Royal Anns, the Bings,
the Lamberts and tho May Dukes would
be good varieties to plant. The varie
ties of apples that will do especially
well there are more or less limited.
The Yellow Transparent, the Duchess,
the Oldenberg and the Gravenstein for
early apples, and the Northern Spy,
Olympia, Baldwin, Grimes Golden and
possibly a few Rhode Island Greenings
for later varieties will do quite well.
Other varieties, such as Ben Davis,
Gano and the Jonathan, do not seem to
be entirely adapted to your part of
Washington. "From Washington Statt
