Waists a Stock Far1n.

We acknowledge pleasant call from
Mr.. L. L. Brooks, who arrived from
Iowa last week on vsiit to friends in
this vicinity. Since seeing Oregon and
enjoying a few days of her mild and
delightful climate. Mr.. Brooks has de-
cided to change the visit into a perma-
nent residence here, if he can secure
property to his liking. He is a breeder
of fine stock and is desirous of obtaining
a good stock farm of from 500 to 800
acres, containing enough bottom land to
raise sufficient quantity Of hay to meet
demands upon it.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made, Mr.. Brooks will dispose of his
large stock farm in Iowa; upon which he
now has 160 head of blooded cattle. In
contrasting our present weather condi-
tions with those in the East, he said that
letter from friends in Illinois, dated
March 9th, stated that four inches Of
snow covered the ground and that it was
still showing. In Corvallis March 9th
was warm balmy day.

The Dilfy Wheel.

Bicyclists will recognize more strong
points in this wheel than in any other
on the market. The hubs are made by
the Thor Hub Co., and have their brand.
The crank hangers are manufactured by
the Fauber Co., Chicago, and have their
trademark and name on the cranks.
Beware of limitations. These wheels are
fully guaranteed, and the price is $40.
Dilly is agent for the famous Imperial,
and has these wheels in prices ranging
from $3.50, $3.50, $2S to s35. The
Imperial wheel which sells this year for
$27 so is identically the same wheel
which sold last year for $35.

THE POULTRY QUESTION.
An Excellent Paper by B. r. ThoMpson at
Last Meeting at the Grange.

Am Exce1fent Paper by B. r THOMPSON at
Last Meetiag at the Grange.
At the open session of the Corvallis
Grange last Saturday the poultry quest
ion was up for discussion. DR. James
Withycombe in introducing the subject
stated that Oregon farmers supply the
states demand for poultry but not fer
eggs. But large quantities sof poultry
are shipped into California which ought
to be furnished by Oregon producers.
Mr.. C. Fl. Markham of the S. P. R. R.
Co., is authority for the statement that
his company hauled to the California
markets from Kansas and Nebraska
during 1899 total of 224 car loads of
poultry, at cost of $3.50 per cwt. A
much better freight rate could be made
for Oregon shippers. With the demand
that exists and considering the fact that
poultry gives the quickest returns of any
farm. stock there should be good money
in the industry.
Mr.. B. r. Thompson was then iufro-
duced and spoke on the subject, 1.-The
Most P irritable Breed for the Farm. !"
Mr.. Thompson said in part: The ques-
tioz of feed is an important consideration,
and of course will vary according to mar
| Eet conditions, but Will ordinarily range
from so cents to one dollar. The average
| the past year. was IS cents. Good hens
! with ordinary care should produce $50
eggs annually. Last year the price easily
averaged Is cents per dozen, hence the
receipts per hen were about $1.871a, de-
duct rs cents for feed, and we have net
profit of $1.l21s and the hen besides.
With extra care more eggs per hen could
be secured.
The price for chicks ranges from $3.50
to 5000 per dozen depending on size and
market conditions. Little profit can be
made on live poultry after the fowls are
six months old, if feed costs much.
There is laying type and a meat type
Of the hen just as there is milk type
aud'a beef type of the COW. The dual
purpose chick has not as yet been a
success. There is no breed tn at success
fully covers both conditions. I have
tried Barred and White Plymouth Rocks,
Brown and White Leghorns, Silver and
Laced Wyandottes, Black Minorcas and
Black Hamburgs. The Leghorns, Min
orcas and Hamburgs are the Ibest layers.
The Minorcas are the largest of the lay
ling type and lay the largest eggs of any
breed. They also lay very evenly all the
year around. Most "any old hen" will
lay plentifully in the springer fhe year,
