FEEDING COCKS.
Animal Food In the Ration and the
Best Time to Use IL.

How much animal food it is best to
give to ducks has been made the sub
ject of inquiry by Professor W. P.
Wheeler of New York. In an expert
ment four lots of ducklings were fed a
basal ration of grain so supplemented
with animal meal and other foods that
about 90 per cent of the protein in the
ration OF lot l. 40 per cent of lot 2, GO
per cent of lot and so per cent of
lot was derived from animal food.
The figures of the recorded results
show that throughout the entire test the
most rapid gain was made by lot 3,
where &C per cent of the protein of the
ration was derived from animal food,
while the slOwest gains were made by
lot l. which was fed the smallest
amount of animal food. When the
protein from animal sources was in
creased in the ration from 60 to so
per cent the gains were not so great.
More food was required to produce a
pound of gain, and the cost of the gains
made was regularly higher throughout
the whole period.
Some Conclusions.
1t appears that the ratiOns contain
ing the larger proportions of animal
food were most effective and most eco
nomically used during the early stages
of feeding. Later on the rations con-
tanning the larger proportion of grain
were fully as effective and consider
ably cheaper than those containing
large amounts of animal food. Where
it is desired to prepare birds rapidly
for market, the ration containing the
larger amount of animal feed is most
efficient, and in certain cases this ra-
pidity of growth may offset the increas-
ed cost of the larger meat ration.
AS far as this one experiment goes,
it seems that it will pay to feed freely
of animal food during the first three
to five weeks and depend after that
more on increasing proportions of the
cheaper grain foods.

minister the affairs of the islands in
satisfactory manner.
The governor has lost the Influence
which his predecessor possessed over
the natives, and unless Taft succeeds
in restoring the old relations the
early retirement of Governor Wright
must follow the tour of inspection of
the secretary.
One of the worst results of the gov
ernor's course is the refusal of the ma
tive property owners to pay the taxes
levied by the new rulers of the coun-
try. Before the Americans came there
was no such things as land and inter-
national revenue taxes. When they
were imposed Governor Taft was able
to jolly the leading natives into pay
ing them, although it went much
against their grain. Taft's way of get
ting disagreeable things done was to
get an influential native into his Of
flee and persuade him that by doing
as the Americans wanted him to do he
was really serving his own interests
best.
Wright's way has been entirely diff
ferent. Wright's way has been to
point to the laws made by the legisla-
tive body and suggest to the balky
native that he could read, or could
hire some one who could, and that his
business was to do what was COM
manded in the statutes. That way of
governing has not been successful.
1t does no good in the Philippines
to advertise lands for sale on account
of delinquent taxes. The natives gen.
orally are too poor to buy even tax IT,
ties. The falling off in revenues has
been so great that, had it not been
for the sale of bonds, the probability
is there would have been a financial
collapse before this time.

rejection of a compromise. because of
defective titles with Dominican friars
for the disposal of their lands to the
Philippine government. The COM
promise was submitted to the Philip
pine government for its approval
The approval was to come as a mere
matter of form, Taft thought. In
stead of approval, however. came a
decided rejection. This reason for 60
ing to the islands arose after the trip
was planned, but it made it imperative
that Taft continue his journey, even
if John Hay was dead.

THE PROGRESSIVE DINNER" !"

One of the most unique and novel
dinners ever given was enjoyed in San
Francisco by a party of congenial
friends on Saturday night. The func-
tion was called progressive dinner"
and consisted of single courses at
nine different restaurants.
The progressive feature was accom-
plished by means of the palace troll
ley car San Francisco" which car
ried the diners from their first course
at the Union League club, at Post and
Stockton Streets to Montgomery and
Pine streets, where the party enjoy
ed its oyster course. Returning with
souvenir shells to the car they were
whisked to an italian restaurant on
Davis street for soup and fish, and
then by a circuitous route to a Mason
street tavern, where the roast was
served. The salad course was next
served at an oyster grotto on O'Farrell
street, after which a roundabout trip
landed the company at the Merchants
club on Sansome street for the game
course, which consisted of the game
of $500" played at seven tables, and
for which prizes were awarded. A
grotto on City Hill avenue served
cheese, crackers and coffee half an
hour later, and this was followed by
liquors at Twenty-fourth avenue and
Fulton street. The car then circled
the park and went by the new scenic
route to the Cliff house, where toasts
and good cheer prevailed until mid
night; then the party returned home.

UMATILLA MAY BE PROUD.

The educational exhibit from the
various schools of Umatilla county
make up zone of the best exhibits of
this ktnd rom any county in the state,
excepting those counties having large
state institutions.
The public school exhibit is espe-
cially fine and ranks we'll toward the
head of the list of county exhibits. 1t
is tastefully and artistically arranged
and may be seen to good advantage,
and every citizen of the county who
visits the fair should inspect this ex-
hibit closely.
In addition to the public school ex-
hibit are exhibits from Pendleton
academy, Weston Normal. Columbia
college, st. Joseph's academy and
Pendleton Bushes college, which
taken in conjunction with the public
school exhibit place Umatilla county
far in advance of other Eastern Ore
gon counties and gives her a place
close behind the boasted school coun'
ties of the Willamette valley, which
have been built up largely through
state expense and legislative favorit'
ism.
The work of the different school!
in the county is segregated and par
ents may find the individual work o.
their children by inspecting the worl
of the schools which their children
attended. The work is classified II
an able manner. is exhibited properl!
and with the addition of Indian pho
tographs and drawings of Umatillf
county scenes. comprises one Of thu
most attractive school exhibits to b'
seen at the exposition.
The collection of photographs ant
beautiful manual training work o
Weston Normal attract the attention
of every person visiting the educa
tional exhibit and will be create
argument for the continuation OF tn
normal than any other that could b
placed before the people of Oregon.

READY FOR HARVEST.

Some of the big boss gamblers
who have been out of town for a
couple Of months are back again
ready for harvest to begin.
The way the grand jury dealt with
the gambling question was simply a
farce and the tinhorns know that the
only power in Umatilla county which
they have to fear is the people.
They could afford to remain out OF
the city for a few weeks during the
dull season, but to show their faith in
the officials they are returning just in
time to open in UP in full blast to
catch the workingmen's money during
the busy season.
Games have been running continu-
ously in the old resorts. perhaps up
stairs, but they have been running and
every observant man knows 1t, despite
the alleged closing order from the
city council. Some few children may
be fooled by this kind of tactics. bu'
very few mature. thinking men are
being fooled by it.
The return Of the gamblers just al
the beginning of harvest is the bes
evidence that they have nothing tr
fear from officials, and the gambler
know 1t or they would not return.

HUNTING WITH EAGLES.

The hunting of foxes with eagles
takes place among the Kirghese, in
the southwest portion of Siberia,
where the foxes coats are ruddy and
perfect.
The eagles are powerful birds, of
such weight that a small wooden sup
port is carried by the eagle bearer. A
well grown bird of more than usually
fierce temperament will occasionally
kill a wolf. Directly any game Is seen
the birds make their flight and swoop

TO REDUCE TAXES.

The tax commission OF Oregon can
greatly reduce the tax on farming
property livestock, mercantile and
other visible properties by a law COM
pelling the collection of personal
property tax by the sheriff at county
expense.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in
personal property taxes are now due
the state of Oregon, simply because
sharks and tricksters refuse to pay
such tax, knowing that to levy upon
and collect this tax would consume
more than the salary of the sheriff, as
he must pay all such expenses himself,
and cannot afford to do it.
There never was such a flimsy law
upon the statutes of any state as this,
and it should be one of the first du-
ties of the commission to recommend
a law covering this oversight.
Another change that should be
made, is one by which vacant lots
held for speculative purposes escape
their share of taxation. IN every city
are hundreds of thousands of dollar!
tied up in vacant lots which escape
almost all taxes and yet they are null
tiplying in value through the enter
prise of men who are building ant
paying taxes all around them. It Il
