r
Something new and odd In the way
of water troughs has been designed by
a California man. Its novelty lies in
the fact that it is self-cleaninig. A
heavy metal base supports a pipe,
which is Journaled on the support so
that it can revolve thereon. In that
section of the pipe that is normally

underneath are a series of perfora
tions. Rigidly attached to the pipe
and swinging from it like a cradle is
the trough. A hose leads from the pipe
to_ a hydrant, and when the water is
turned on from the hydrant the trough
is quickly filled. If the trough is to
be cleaned it can be inverted, and as
the holes in the pipe follow it around,
a stream of water is squirted up
up against it and flushes it. This re-
oeptacle can also be used as a feed
trough and the hose attachment used
only to clean it.
MANAGING TH E ANGORA GOAT
Animals Have Natural Inclination to
Browse on Coarse Herbsge, but
Must Have Other Feed.
(By B.
E.
LARA.)
Goats, like other animals, must be
fed or they will die. Some people do
not seem to recognize this fact, but
It la true. Goats have a natural incli
nation to browse on shrubs, weeds or
any other coarse-leaved herbage, but
they must have nutritious feed in ad
dition to thrive.
If Angora goats are fed and treated
aa one would treat sheep they will
gat along very well. In the winter
time they need glean clover hay and
some grain, and clean, fresh water at
all times. The goat is almost as fin
icky as the sheep and requires water
untainted by any other animal, sweet
grain and hay, as they will not touch
these feeds If they are musty.
Too much has been said about the
ability of goats as weed destroyers.
It is true they will clean up a pasture
of coarse weeds, and so will sheep;
we have never been able to discover
much difference and, taking every
thing into consideration, we believe
that the farmer who raises sheep in
stead of goats will get better satisfac
tion from his flock.
Department Stores and Wholesale
Houses Largest Patrons.
Portland — Millinery in boxes as
large as the law allows promises to
cap the list of popular eligibles under
the new parcel post law, but Milady
had better warn Mr. Milliner to be
sure that the receptacles for the
aigretted headgear are sufficiently
strong. Otherwise, with all the care
and caution that Uncle Sam’s mail
clerks may take the chapeaux are like
ly to issue from their parcel post jour
neys bedraggled or smashed.
This is the warning that postal offi
cials in Portland are sending out after
the second day’s wrestle with the in
novation, when the local office almost
became swamped with the rush of bus
iness.
The fact is that the Portland post-
office on the second day o f parcel post
traffic found itself extending its quar
ters almost into the streets in order to
take care o f the business, which, it is
conjectured, is only a hint at the busi
ness to follow.
The dozen sacks o f
parcels received from out of town
points and the 25 sacks which were
mailed in Portland fairly flooded the
section set apart in the local office and
a big overflow encroached on other de
partments. The indication is that an
additional near-by building will be
needed to handle the business inside of
a few weeks when the traffic is reg
ular and established.
Somewhat to stem the rush the
authorities -have asked that special de
livery stamps not be placed on the
parcels for a time, or until the service
is thoroughly organized to deliver hur
riedly. All special stamps on parcel
mail will be ignored for the present.
One thing is plainly certain: The
big,department stores, the mail-order
houses and the wholesale houses are
going to take liberal advantage of the
service. Ons department store mailed
more than 150 packages.
Another
sent about 100 and a third mailed
more than 50.
Most o f them were
sent to nearby towns.
As the government restricts only
such articles as always have been un
mailable from passing through the
parcel post office, almost every legiti
mate article o f commerce already has
been sent. The favorite commodity is
millinery and the department stores
are the senders.
The postoffice attaches fear that the
millinery vendors use too fragile a ma
terial in packing. All packages are
placed in pouches and sealed the same
as regular mail. They are loaded onto
Wagons, sacks upon one another and
packages in the sacks underneath, un
less they are securely packed, are apt
to become broken.
Such things as
millinery and eggs should be well
protected, therefore, advise postal
clerks.
It is a common thing to mail eggs,
now that the parcel post has been
established. Eggs are not considered
freak shipments.
In fact, a regular
traffic in eggs is expected.
Enter
prising farmers near Portland are
striving already to build up a regular
trade with customers in the city, send
ing eggs and other farm products
through the mail.
A new field has
been opened to inventors.
They are
trying now to devise a light, strong
box o f aluminum or other material,
especially for mailing eggs.
Ordinary perishable goods such as
fruit, vegetables, fish and meat can be
sent by parcel post within the zone of
origin, or a radius o f about 50 miles.
A man in Eastern ' Oregon had five
pounds of beefsteak sent from the
butcher shop in a nearby village to
his home by parcel post.

WOULD REVIVE
ARMY CANTEEN
General Wood Also Recommends
New Merit System.
Would Weed Out Unfit Officers,
Recognizing Fitness and
Ability in Promotion.
Washington, D. C.— The restoration
of the army canteen and enactment of
legislation for the elimination from
the United States army o f unfit offi
cers are among the principal recom
mendations o f Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, in his annual re
port made public Saturday.
General Wood recommends the con
centration o f the army on strategic
lines and in areas where it can be
maintained more economically.
He
would transfer all the personnel o f the
staff corps — excepting engineers,
medical officers and chaplains— to the
line, increasing the number of the
general officers and line officers in the
different grades.
The transfer o f the personnel of
staff corps to the line, in General
Wood’s opinion, will terminate the
constant struggle between line and
staff, a struggle which is as old as the
army and one which promises to con
tinue. There would be no interfer
ence with promotion, nor would the
members of the present staff corps
lose any of their present advantages.
Discussing means for the elimina
tion of unfit officers the chief of staff
says:
“ The full efficiency o f an organiza
tion o f men cannot be secured without
a system by which the merits o f the
individuals shall have some effect upon
their advancement.
“ The army long has suffered from
the lack o f such a system. Up to the
grade of colonel promotion is by sen
iority in each branch, and there is no
way under the law by which an officer,
no matter what his merit, can be ad
vanced a single number except by
making him a general officer.”

OIL OUTPUT SHOWS BIG LOSS
Increased Demand Has Buoyant
Effect on Petroleum Prices.
Washington, D. C. — With the
world’s consumption o f oil aggregating
1,000,000 barrels a day, of which the
United States supplied almost two-
thirds, production of petroleum in this
country in 1912 was 220,200,000 42-
gallon barrels, or about 250,000 bar
rels less than 1911. While the pro
duction was less, the rising price of
oil increased the total value o f the
product markedly. Last year the out
put was valued at $150,000,000, an in
crease of about $16,000,000 over 1911.
According to David T. Day, of the
United States Geological Survey, the
Eastern oil fields, as a rule declined
production because it was impossible
to keep up with the great output of
1911 without large additional discov
eries of pools in the older fields. The
Eastern decline, however, was offset by
the increase in California.

New York — The Federal courts
have been invoked in behalf o f Cip-
riano Castro, and a writ o f habeas cor
pus was granted to bring him before a
judicial tribunal which may determine
the cause o f his detention at this port.
It was alleged in the application that
the ex-president o f Venezuela was il
legally held at the immigration sta
tion on Ellis island, where he has been
detained since his arrival. The court
will be asked to sustain the writ and
thus set him at liberty.
Castro, immediately upon finding
his right to land was questioned, had
decided to return voluntarily to Eu
rope, and had passage on the steamer
Amerika for Hamburg.
As soon as
he learned the writ had been granted
he cancelled his passage.
BODY OF AMBASSADOR REID
REACHES NATIVE SHORES
New York— Great Britain delivered
Saturday to his countrymen the body
o f Whitelaw Reid, editor, statesman
and American ambassador, who died
in London. The British cruiser Natal
brought the body home and placed it
under the Stars and Stripes in the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
President Taft, dignitaries from the
army and navy and representatives of
foreign powers will attend the funeral
services.
The Natal was met off Nantucket
by two United States battleships and
four destroyers and the funeral fleet
lay off Sandy Hook Friday night. A
thick fog blanketed the bay and it was
11 o ’clock before the procession got
under way.
A gale that swept up the
river made landing the coffin a diffi

dence. Senator Chamberlain is insis
tent, as are other Western senators,
