In a recent letter to his family,

cepting government situation at
Bremerton. Everett, according to

about 10000 inhabitants, and he
can secure employment at bis trade
in that city if he wishes to do so.
During the past week or ten
days the officers in the clerks Office
have been quite busy on the exten
ton of the tax of cities, road dis
tricts, school districts, county and
state. There are twenty-seven diff
ferent columns of figures to be foot
ed up and charged to the sheriff
Heretofore there were only some six
or seven different items. This
work is about completed.
They are milking twelve cows at
present at the college farm. A short
time ago they began feeding the an
imals on some corn silage that was
put up last fall. Altogether there
were five small silos filled with
corn for experimental purposes. Of
these, three have been fed out and
they are now feeding from the
fourth one. The first fed was plain
silage, the second lot was steamed,
and that which they are now feed
ing was salted. Since being put on
the coin silage the amount of milk
given by the COWS has been in
creased. A record is being kept
with a view to determining, if pos
sible, which style of silage proved
the most profitable to feed milk
cows.
Some days ago we printed an
item stating that eve of Joseph |
Yates had given birth to four lambs.
Many oldtimers thought this had
not been equaled in this county.
In conversation with a prominent
stockman few days ago, the latter
stated that a number of years ago a
eve of William Newman, south of
town some ten or twelve miles, gave
birth to four lambs. Two of these |
were raised by hand. At the same
time two other ewes gave birth to
three lambs each. From these one
lamb each was taken and raised by |
hand. Thus, it Will be seen that
three ewes gave birth to ten lambs
and every one of them was raised.
If anybody can beat this, we should |
like to hear from them.
Hon. Wallis Nash WAS in town
Tuesday. He is president of the
Willamette Valley Choral Union
and came to drill the local chorus
for the oratorios to be given in this
city next May. On arriving in
Corvallis Mr.. Nash was greatly an
noyed to find that the necessary
books had not yet arrived from the
East. On investigation he is con-
vinced that by next Tuesday the
books will have arrived and he
hopes at that time there will be a
good attendance of local singers. |
