subject and the quake recently
was mentioned by the daily press

The Useful Trap Nest.

An advantage of trap nest testing OF
birds is that the ''drones' can be sold
off to the butcher and the feed bills
reduced by that much. 1t is fact thai
a third at least Of the food we feed is
fed to "drones"-to no purpose hens
How it would bring up the average o1
profit if those "drones'' were all culleG
out and got rid of and none fed except
those that had proved themselves Al
least fairly good layers! 1t is the
"drones," the no purpose hens, tha
lower the average of income for foot
fed. They are fed at loss all The
time, and the good layers have to pay
for their own food and the food O.
the "drones," too, before there is any
thing remaining for profit.
Which are you feeding, ''drones" o.
great layers? Trap nests will tell you
just as the milk scales tell which arr
the no purpose cows, says A. F. Hunt
er in American Poultry Advocate.

Corvallis -EugenerC Canal.

a canal from Eugene to Corvallis

by some Of the residents of the
locality near Eugene. Because

to the Register written by: "a
Juncrion City man, Isl here given:
''To open up the Willamette
river from Corvallis TO Eugene
would not onlyabe quiteaa task,
but would require a large amount

You are right the canal ought
to be dug either by, the; counties
interested in same or by the state.
AS you say it would be great

ground along the Long Tom.
''The canal ought to be dug as
soon as possible to dig it, and a
dredge should be used as it would
prove the cheapest as far as capi-

This canal would not only be
OF great benefit to Eugene, and
Corvallis alone, but to the people
who live along the route of the
canal and in fact to the majority
of the people in Lane and Benton

SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.

4 Few Rules the Violation of Which
Leads to Certain Failure.
To have success in the poultry busi-
ness the flock must be kept healthy.
Here ara few suggestions for keep
ing them in good condition, says a
writer In American Poultry Journal:
Keep the poultry house warm and
dry, for damp poultry houses are
breeding houses for disease.
Scald out the drinking vessels every
few days and keep them as clean as
possible.
The hens should always have a dust
bath handy, winter and summer. This
will help keep the fowls free from lice.
A little salt and pepper mixed with
tie mash is good for the hens.
An unsuspected draft striking the
fowls at night while on the perches is
responsible for many a case Of cold
In the head and incipient roup. Stop
up the cracks in the henhouse.
A variety of food will help to keep
the hens healthy and will also be good
for the egg production.
The great factors in winter produc-
ton Of eggs are cut bone or meat
green food in some shape, clover OF
roots and exercise.
Forcing egg production is a danger.
GUS practice If the flock Is good one
Keep them in good condition, and they
will do their part.
Change the food for day or two II
the fowls have bowel disease. Halt
Of the troubles of this kind can be
traced to lack Of sharp, hard grit.
The best condition powder for the
poultry consists of clean quarters, good
food and pure water.

Dr.. Withyc ombe's Idea.
Growing Coarse Flax Fibre-Ad-
vocate the Plan.

DIR. Withycomle the wall
known and experienced man at
the Oregon Experiment Station
is quoted in an exchange on the
subject of growing coarse fax
hbes declaring it to be a good
substitute for jute, and suggest
ing it as remedy TOR high priced
wheat sacks. He says: "There
is no doubt that the Willamette
Valley will produce as fine fax
fibre as can be grown in the
world. Out of this possibility
there ought to be means OF aid
ing the solution of the grain
sack and hop cloth question.
The fibre from the fax straw
if grown coarse enoug b, woul
be a good substitute tor jute as
raw material for grain sacks.
1.-THE jute production is in the
hands of trust, and we shall
probably continue to be at the
mercy of a corporation. The
production of fax as substitute
would be in the hands of the
farmers. By introducing varietie.
of fax that will yield heavy
coarse straw in large quantity, il
is possible to obtain a yield O.
500 to 1000 pounds of fax pc.
acre. The seed has its own value
in the oil mills. The by-produc
from the seed, largely increased
would be of inestimable value te
dairy interests of the state.
"Out of this combination o
products an industry nigh
be inaugurated that would b
quite profitable to those who en-
gagged in it, and that would ii
any event be of inestimabl
service to the state"

A Burglar Scare.

People in the vicinity of the
John Spangler home had a life
size excitement Saturday morn
ing, in which all the people near
by participated and in which the
police took a hand.
The Spanglers are absent from
home and young Claude Wiley
went to their house to water the
chickens. Rushing home he de-
clared that a man wearing a
black mask had thrust his head
through window, had shaken
his fist at the boy and had made
threatening gestures that had
sent the lad home on a run. The
news of the bold, BAD, black
masked burglar spread like wild
fire and the neighbors turned ou,
en- masse. Prof. Cordley and
Jesse Wiley were there armed
with rifles, Grant Elgin had q
vicious looking stick of stove
wood. aud Chief Lane is said t.
have favored ordering out the
college cannon but was persuad
ed to approach the home witt
only his trusty six-shooter il
hand.
The dwelling was thorough,
searched from top to bottom by
the courageous officers, while the
crowd of men, women and chill
dren, armed with all sorts O
weapons, waited in breath1es!

the only live creature discovered
in the house was a poor old cat
which may have been the frs

Not for Common Herd. +"

In regard to the stdoings" of

there is much interest, and the
following is taken from the

says:
AS they grow in giace at the

ticed that are not meet to be seen
by profane, every day, common
eyes.
After more or less tropical
meeting Thursday night, at 1890
O'Clock Mr.. RYAN dismissed the
meeting and asked the people to
leave the hall. A few Of them
left. Some minutes were con-
sumed in the dozen or more OF
the faithful getting from their
seats to the dias and prostrating
themselves; the little Hanson
girl began to "write" in he1
strange, unique way, and was
tearing Chinese laundry tickets
from the tab to beat the band
Mr.. Solkeld made few passes in
Hindoo, and the crowd still lin
gered. Mr.. Ryan again asked
them to leave, and a few more
went out. By this time things
were getting pretty warm in the
vicinity of the altar, and Mr..
Ryan told the crowd to get out,
as he was going to turn out ths
flights, and then finally most o.
them left. A few fell stumbling
over the chairs in cropping tron
the hall in the inky blackness o
the night, but all quit the build
ing. The faithful remained an
til late hour, and practiced tn,
rites with great relish.
