WENT TOO MUCH BY NAME
ightenment from Colored
Waiter.

A woman lives at one Of the Kansas
City hotels who has the reputation of be-
ing rather fnicky and hard to please in
the manner of food A day or two ago
at lunch, relates the Kansas City Jour.
nal, after looking over the dessert list,
she decided or some ice cream pudding.
The meal had been one with which she
had considerable difficulty in finding fault,
but when she had about half finished the
dessert she called the waiter over and
said:
George, what do you mean by calling
this zee cream pudding? There isn't any
ice cream about it, and you know it,"
"Yes'm," said the waiter. Il know
dere amt no ice cream in it. OATS jes'
q name they give it. / do know why"
well" she continued. II think that
if they give dish such name they
ought to make it conform to the name,
and if you call this ice cream pudding,
you ought to bring some ice cream with
It,"
"Yes'm," answered the servitor, but
you know we can't allus do it that way.
You know we doesn't bring cottage in
with cottage pudding"
The walters reply brought a burst Of
laughter from the people who heard the
conversation, and since then the woman's
criticisms of the menu have been few and
infreouent.

GOOD HOG FEED.
What Pumpkins and Squash Will Do
for the swine-The Proper
Way to Feed.

The prominent institute lecturer. Mr..
Theodore Lewis, has the following to
say regarding the use of pumpkins
and squash for the feeding of hogs:
81 want to suggest profitable in
yestment of a little labor and still less
cash. Take from a half to a full acre
of corn field that lies nearest to the
barn yard, that is likely to be we'll sup
piled with manure and give it a lib
eral dressing of that material. Then
pillow it under as soon as possible, and
stake off the plat so that its boundar-
les will be well known. When prepar-
ing the corn field be sure to give this
particular piece a specially good har-
rowing. When marking the field for
corn, probably from May 10 to Is,
mark this plat also, one way, but
plant no corn on it. When the field is
narrowed to kill the sprouting weeds
and grass, as it should be before and
after the corn is up, do not neglect the
implanted portion.
about May %, if the season is Or
dinarily favorable, plant this plat to
squash, but not the hard she'll Kind, or
to pumpkins, or both. Plant eight feet
apart each way, and put in plenty of
seed, so as to give cut worms or
squash bugs their fill and have plants
left. When the insects have departed
thin the plants to- four or five to the
hill. if the insects did not do the thin
ming. Each time the corn is cultivat-
ed go through the squash patch until
the vines get too large to allow it. In
this way the vines are not Injured by
cultivation of the corn.
"If the season is at all favorable
there will be tons of squashes and
pumpkins on the ground, and they can
be got at without driving over large
field to gather them, and will avoid
waiting for them until the corn is ma
tured and cut up This makes it pos
sible to begin feeding them earlier,
and so lengthens the feeding season
of a kind of material that is very
beneficial to hogs as they are changed
from the pastures to the fattening pen
for early market. And nothing better
substitutes the succulence of the sum-
mer during the later feeding period
than the fruits named.
"After the feed of corn, the squash
or pumpkin dessert should follow on
the feeding floor. They should be cut
few times with sharp spade, so the
hogs can make good use of them. The
quantity of feed must be regulated by
The effect on the animals, and that can
be most quickly discovered by watch
ing the excrement If too much is be-
ing fed the bowels will be too loose
and the excrement will not be of a
healthy color. These things will sug-
gest change in quantity of the sue
culent feed. With such feeding, how
ever, wisely done, there will be no
breaking down of hogs or other pre-
ventable ailments, but there will be a
thrift and growth that will at once
surprise and delight"

posts should be about five feet apart
The lower frame is a foot wide and
two feet shorter than the upper frame,

artists made bottom too wide, in the

around on top of both sets of posts.
Drive in large-headed nails in these
scantlings, those in the upper frame

frame closer together, as you must

around these nails back and forth from

rick, then cover with roof boards, or
top out with straw. The frames must
be made stout and solid. You can
make a rack 100 feet long or over, and
it will hold several tons if topped out

that it is a good way to put up shred
ded fodder that is not thoroughly
cured. Fig 2 shows how to make the

or matched, as shown in cut The roof
in No. 1 can be raised up as high as

Chicken stealing has been in
vogue over in Linn county and the
sequel to it Wednesday evening was
a shooting in which a thief got
dozen buck shot. The shooting
transpired on the premises of Mr..
Bulls, half a mile west of the Oak
vile church and about six miles
from Corvallis. A sick horse kept
Mr.. Bulls up till a late hour. For
a month, the nocturnal disappear
ance of chickens from various
farms has kept the neighborhood
on the alert. The click of the latch
to the chicken house door attract
ed Mr.. Bulls attention while he
watched with his horse about mid
night. It was Soon apparent that
althief,was at work. With a
gun in hand, Mr.. Bulls waited his
opportunity, and fired. A second
shot brought yell Of pain from
the intruder as he fled from the
place and disappeared in the brush
near by. Thus the incident ended,
and thus one thief got a dose that
will cure him of his trouble, tenn
porarily at least.

COMMITTEE WANTS INFORMATION.
As to who has Paid for Sewers
Shortage Nearly Two Thousand.

Those who have paid the police
judge for lateral sewers construct
ed in Corvallis are requested to
notify the finance committee of the
council, consisting of P. Avery,
George Lilly and W. G. Emery.
Such as have receipts are request
ed to show them to the committee,
so that it can be definitely ascer-
tanned which of the 1aterals have
and which have not been paid tor
by the property owner. Until this
point is settled, by the committee
which is now working on the Gref-
foz books, the true amount of the.
shortage cannot be fixed. The
figure now stands at 81 ,87s. The
sum that has been turned over to
the treasurer, is S9,159. If the
committee has now the correct
facts as to what sewers have been
paid for, the sum turned over
should have been S11,oI4. The
latter is about the sum if no inter
est has been collected. If interest
was collected the figures may be
slightly raised.
AS far as the committee can de-
termine, the shortage is confined
entirely to sewer funds. The city
paid with warrants for the sewers,
and entrusted the collection to the
police Judge. Instead of paying all
amounts so received over to the
treasurer, some Of them seem to
have been withheld, and it is thus
the shortage occurs. All the fines,
and all the licenses seem to have
been regularly and faithfully turn
ed over to the treasurer. As soon
as the committee can communicate
with all who have had lateral sew
ers built, the whole question will
be accurately settled and the report
be ready for the council.

these make the visitor 10th to leave
