Late Hatches of Chickens.

While it is not desirable to set hens
late, where they are allowed a wide
range some nests will be stolen, and
large broods Of young chickens may
come off as late as September OF Octo-
Der. We have had such and made them
profitable. The most important thing
with late-hatched chickens Is to feed
them literally with wheat. This will
keep them growing and cause them to
feather early Corn should only be fed
after really cold weather makes 1t nec-
essary. If the young fowls are in
duced to feather early they will need
less corn. The work of feathering ex-
hausts their strength very rapidly, and
should be finished before cold weather.

operations for the last ten years. From
that record che following facts are
given:
For the first nine years the cost per
head ranged from S14.09 to 1920; but
In 1898 he began feeding beets and
corn which had, been cut and cured in
the shock and then run through shred
ding machine, ear, stalk, blade, all of
which is by the machine reduced to the
condition of coarse hay. The cost of
harvesting, shocking, shredding and
feeding is cents per bushel of grain
and $1.S7 per ton of fodder. The 1000
acres averaged forty and one-half BUSH
els of corn and ton AMI nne-half nf
fodder per acre. The bets (sugar beets)
yield thirty to fifty tons per acre count
ing tops and all, and are fed whole.
Both cattle and hogs are fond of them.
and 1t was fouI that after cutting
them the first few days the cattle learn
to bite them off as boy bites an
apple. Since adopting this ration the
cost of fattening cattle has never ex-
ceeded $40 per head. No cholera has
ever occurred among hogs following the
cattle while feeding beets. 1t Is esti-
mated that beet tops from beets used in
sugar making are worth an average of
So per acre for cattle food.
White Clover Seed.
There is no plant which is not an alb
solute weed that keeps its hold in the
soil so pertinaciously as white clover.
If it were not so valuable for feed It
would become a very bad weed, and,
indeed, 1t is such to strawberry beds,
as many growers can testify. White
clover propagates not only by seed,
but by runners, as the strawberry
does. 1t Is one of the surest plants
to seed that we have, and the young
plants will not be killed by smothering
with the larger grass plants, as many
weeds win. 1t often happens when
grass Is cut late so that it does not
start quickly that a mass Of white
clover will start up and soon show bios
SONS. This clover was hidden under
the grass while the latter was grow
ing, and only began to be noticed when
the grass was removed.

An Appropriation Asked the General Goy-
ernment at Washington.
United States Senator Mitchell has
introduced the following boat-railway
bill:
"That there be, and hereby is ap-
propriated, out of any money in the
treasury, not otherwise appropriated,
the sum of s5OO,OO0, in addition to
the amount heretofore appropriated,
for the construction and equipment OF
boat-raizway from the foot of The
Dalles rapids to the head OF Cello
Falls, in Oregon; the same to be con-
structed under the direction OF the Sec
retary of war, in accordance with the
plans and specifications OF the engl-
neer department of the Uniled States;
provided, that contracts may be en-
tered into by the secretary OF war for
such materials and work as may be
necessary to complete the present pro-
ject of improvement of the Columbia
river at that point by the construction
of boat-railway, as aforesaid, to be
paid for as appropriations may from
time to time be made by law, not ex-
ceeding in the aggregate 81, 764, ,467, ex-
elusive of the amount herein and here
tofore appropriated"
If this measure goes through it is
claimad by Washington correspond
ent it will be part of the river and
harbor bill, as must all other
measures looking TO the Improvement
of waterways. Hermann in the house,
and Mitchell in the senate, have intro
duced bills, for proposed amendments
to the river and harbor bill. covering
all the improvements for Oregon. 1t
probably gives some prominence to
the improvements to have them pre-
sented in this way, and calls the atten-
ton of congress more directly to the
big projects on the Pacific coast. Nit
chell's bill, however, will first go to
the committee on transportation routes
to the seaboard, where he is sure to
work out a favorable report. This
will give the project some standing in
the senate.

SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.
A Tax of Six Mills Levied in Dalles CITY
School District.

A Tax of Six Mills Levied in Dalles City
School District.
A special meeting of the taxpayers
of school district No. IL was held in
the school building on Court street on
Friday, Jan. 81. Chairman Adams
being unable to attend, the meeting
was called to order by Director o. D.
Doan, the other officers present being
Director o. Kinersley and Clerk
E. Jacobsen.
Clerk Jacobsen read financial
statement showing that the total in
debtedness of the district amounted to
S6484.28, and also that the taxable
property in the district, as certified to
by the county clerk, amounted to
81, 1861 On this valuation of
property the directors made showing
that to raise the necessary funds for
conducting the schools of the district
for the ensuing year tax Of 8 mills
would be required, whereupon a
motion vas made levying tax OF 8
mills upon the properly of Inc district.
This was amended to read five instead
of six mills. but the amendment was
voted down and the original motion
carried.
The question Of reducing the ex-
penses Of the district by cut ing down
the salaries OF teachers was generally
and it was shown that salar.
les paid in. this district are as low
or lower than those paid in schools Of
similar grade throughout the state,
and that competent teachers could not
be secured for less salaries, hence the
Of opinion among those
present was that no reduction could be
made and maintain the present high
standard OF the schools.
The matter of renting or building
additional school rooms was discussed,
but no action was taken, it being con-
sidered advisable to have the question |
determined at the regular annual
school meeting to be held on the first
Monday in March.

Lye VIII XIII Them.

c. w. Hollis gives the Athena press
man some valuable information in re-
gard to exterminating squirrels. A
gentleman who was bothered more or
Jess with these pests, hit upon the
novel and inexpensive plan of clearing
his place Of them by the use of concen-
trated lye. He disolyed the lye until
it was like paste. He then spread q
thin coating on chip, small Bat stone,
or anything at hand, which could be
conveniently placed in the squir-
rels hole. When the squirrels
come out they step in the lie. In
a short time their feet begin to burn,
when up sets Mr.. squirrel, and into
the mouth goes the injured foot, and
there is one squirrel less on the ranch.
Mr.. Hollis, informant youches for the
destructive power of lye as squirrel
destroyer, and as there is considerable
difference in the price OF lye and strych
nine and other poisons, it will cost
anything to experiment. Lye
costs but 10c can, while the price of
is about sl.50 per ounce.
Try lye and see how it works.
