E1ceIIenl SuggestIons for Poultry.

The following good suggestions, which
we find in an exchange, will be found
of benefit to amateurs in the poultry
business. Paste them in your chicken
book:
Boiled buckwheat, if fed occasionally,
will aid egg production.
Feed only fresh table scraps and no
salt meats.
Soft food should be fed in clean
troughs.
Hens often contract the egg eating
habit by having egg shells thrown where
they can get them. II the egg-eating
or feather-pulling habit becomes general
in flock, it is better to destroy the
whole flock.
Fowls that are infested with vermin
often acquire the feather pulling habit,
Too much meat and fresh bone will
cause sickness, and twice week is often
enough to feed these things.
Turnips and potatoes, il cooked, are
valuable food.
Roast ears OF corn until the grain is
charcoal and give it to the hens; i
will increase egg production. Charcoal
/ ID u kOou tiAihB W htSP DSlOAS ASHD "'
| the time.
Wood ashes usually contain consider
able charcoal that might be advantage
ously given to the fowls.
Feed plenty OF milk, for it is good
egg producer.
II you have shrunken wheat, let tht
hens have it.
Sunhower seed is a fat-producing anC
not an egg-producing food.
We should never give broken glass ol
crockery for grit, especially the latter
for it is apt to contain oxide OF lead.
Sick hens will not lay eggs.
Damp houses will produce sickness.
Do not think that there are no lice il
winter, for you will find them keeping
warm on the hens.
Unless the dust bath is provided tn,
fowls can not keep themselves clean o
keep away yermin.
Never use wood ashes for dust bath
or for any purpose about the poultr,
house.
Never nail roosts or nests TO tn
house, for it is often necessary to remov
them.
The material in the nests should b
changed frequently.
Chaff is an excellent thing with whic
to cover the floor OF the hen house, afte
it has been cleaned.
Save the siftings of the hay mo'
when the hay is out, for the poultry
1t is the busy hen that lays the mos
eggs.

"A doorspring2"

strength Of an elephant to open"
"Hem!"
"And it must be strong enough to
bring the door all the way to and not
leave it swinging open couple OF

"And when the door closes l don't
want it to shut like catapult, with a
jar that shakes the house from its

"Yes. You want one that will bring
the door all the way to, and yet do it
gently?"
THAT'S the idea. But l don't want
any complicated arrangement that re-
quires skilled mechanic to attend to-"
"No--of course not. You want some
thing simple, yet strong and effectiveY
"Just SO! Something that can be put
on or taken off easily-something that
will do it's work quietly yet thoroughly

To The PubIic.

Having taken prominent part in the
election of the board of directors Of the
Hood River Fruit Growers Union, we
wish to define onr position in the matter.
Every shipping season since beginning
business we have endeavored to avoid
the improbable and useless method of
competition in selling our fruit. The
present members of the beard of di-
rectors have always been patrons of the
union, and when we paid $l20 for the
privilege OF voting for them we did so
believing that we we're voting for board
that would consider the interests of the
growers by undertaking to avoid the ex-
pensive and unnecessary competition
heretofore INDUCED in. If in our effort
we have assisted in bringing about such
condition, our money is we'll spent, and
the many growers who volunteered their
cash and proxies, and took part in the
matter are entitled to the thanks and
congratulations of the entire commu'
nitv. DAVIDSON FRUIT Co.

University OF Oregon.

The University OF Oregon football
eleven went all the way from Eugene to
San Francisco to play the University of
California last Saturday, and the best
team California ever put out beat Ore
gon only IL to 0. There is something
more than passing interest in the re-
suit OF this game. II is the first time
Oregon collegians ever contested with
those of another state, and it shows that
the Oregon boys are the equal of any.
You who are too far distant from the
pervading air of college life take little or
no interest in matters of athletics, and
in fact are apt to lose all interest or
knowledge of the actual existence of
our state university, or that it is the
leading institution of higher learning in
the Northwest. Last year the univer-
sity won easily every intercollegiate
contest with the other Oregon colleges
in oratory, debate and athletics, and
this year arrangements are being made
for debate with Berkeley, the state
university Of California. DR.. Strong
the new president Of the university, il
giving hearty satisfaction to faculty and
students, and will certainly prove to be
the right man in the right place. Peo-
pie should more fully realize that the
university is but part of the states
free-school systematic apex, as it is
with the high schools and grammar
grades leading up to it. And in few
years the people will find out that ther'
are just as good facilities for education
in our own state as in California anC
the East, and the young men and womel
OF Oregon will attend their own stat
university, where they will become i'm
bued with the interests Of their owl
state, and learn to know the people witt
whom they will mingle in after life.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1893.

A republican club recently organized
in Sumpter under the name OF Robert
Anderson resolved in favor OF II. w.
Scott for United States senator. Mr..
Scott is the ablest man in his party in
the state. But he is too independent
and has made too many lasting enemies
among the politicians OF his party to
ever get to be senator. And he prob
ably has no ambition TO be senator. Al
editor-in-chief Of one OF the greatest
newspapers in the United States he
wields more influence than dozen
senators. Think Of Harvey Scott jour
neying to Salem in his private car and
opening headquarters to boom his pros
poets for election before an Oregon leg
islaturel And after he is elected and
has taken his seat in that august body
of multimillionaires, imagine him at
tending to all the little details OF the
wants of his constituency in the various
departments of the government, looking
after pensions for the Grand Army boyi
or interviewing the President to give

1t is perhaps not understood, says the

delivery of the mails which has been
put into operation at Turner, LaGrande,
Hood River and perhaps other places in
Oregon, is not permanently established
The provision in law under which the
rural delivery has been inaugurated pro-
vides for only experimental work,
and it will be well for the farmers in the
districts which now enjoy this service
to send petitions to their Representatives
in congress, asking that rural delivery
be made permanent thing, Wherever
the farming population is dense rural
delivery is a success, and there is nc
question as to its convenience and value
