Big Poultry Shipments.

J. A. Dawson shipped nine
thousand pounds Of dressed poul-
try from November 1st to 25th.
About 1-3 of this amount was
turkeys for which he paid II cts.
live weight. The other 1-3 was
ducks, geese and chickens which
averaged about 9 cts. per pound,
making over 81, 400 paid to the
farmers in the twenty-five days.
If the figures were compiled for
all poultry shipped from the
county during the fall it
would assume magnificent pro-
portions. The demand. is fast
increasing and with these fancy
prices there is no reason why
the farms in the Willamette Val
ley should not be alive with
poultry. Just try a nice drove
Of turkeys this next year and see
what a nice little bunch of mon
ey it will bring you.

An Old Pioneer.

J. NJ. Currier, an old pioneer
of southern Benton, was in town
Monday looking after business
matters. Mr.. Currier came to
Benton county SO years ago and
is now SO years old. He crossed
the Missouri river in May 1916,
and landed at his present home
south of Corvallis on the 9th Of
December. Excepting the gov
ernment forts, he never saw
house on the entire trip until he
landed at the J. G. Avery home
stead on the banks Of Mary's
River in Corvallis. They forded
all the streams along the route
and at Long Tom they cut a
large pine tree, falling it across
the stream and using it as foot
log, they carried their entire be-
longings, including the wagon,
to the other side. They used the
wagon cover and tents to make
clothing. At the time Whitman
was killed Mr.. Currier was fight
ing the Indians and furnished
his own gun and ammunition.
He served six months, without
pay, and the first remuneration
these old veterans ever received
was u nder the Indian Pension
Act, passed by Congress three
years ago. He still lives on the
old homestead.

Besides the above changes, the new

Lincoln-green cloth skirt. The coat
was 26-inch cutaway. the cut begin

the free edges of the coat could be
seen charming little waistcoat of

enameled buttons. Leather trimming

Bean, for Green Manure.

We know OF one farmer that planted
boans too early, and the late frost
caught them. killing the whole crop.
He planted again. but this time SO
thick that the pods did not form till
an early fall frost caught them. and SO
the whole crop was lost. But the
growth of the beans had been a very
rank one. and the weeds had been kept
from growing. The mass of rank
heritage was plowed under and the
land left to be planted the next year.
The plowed-under beans proved to be
great enrichers of the soil, for they
added to it very large quantity of
nitrogen, In addition to the humus.
This in Its decay created acids which
set loose more plant food in the soil.
SO the bean crop was not q total loss.

visitors and tourists. 1t is 1888 miles
south of the United States border.
Upon the south side of the monument
are the words "Tropic de Cancer" and
"Zona Torrida," and upon the north
side the words "Tropico de Cancer"
and "Zona Templada."
The altitude of the region in which
this monument is situated Is so high
as to make the climate temperate In
stead of torrid. The real tropical zone
of Mexico is not reached until the high
plateau and mountains recede into the
low region four or Ave hundred miles
south of where the monument Is
placed. So marked is the difference
between the climates of the uplands
and the territory along the coasts of
the country that when the people of
the plateau may be suffering from cold
those in the lower country perhaps
less than 100 miles away, may be
sweltering under the heat OF tropical
sun.
There are number OF places within

Are You Observing State Law and
Keeping Them in Sanitary Way7

There are hundreds of creamery
patrons to-day who are violating the
pure food laws of the state In which
they live to more or less degree and
do not realize it. They are ignorant
of the provisions Of the law on the
subject OF dairying and carelessly vio-
late these statutes The Tvs have
been published time and again for
their benefit, but 1t is deplorable fact
that in some localities good farm
or dairy paper is seldom visitor.
They will not take the paper and
would not read them II the papers
were given to them. What such men
need. declares the Northwestern Agri-
culturist, is G. vigorous application of
the law. 1t has been said that the
most certain way to reach mans
heart is by way of his stomach: 1t
might also be said that the most cer.

WATERING cows.
Care In the Quality Of Water Provided
Is Important.

The best arrangements for the
watering OF dairy cows I consider to
he individual basins between the COWS
in the winter time and running water
in the summer time. In the winter,
says the writer II Farmers Review. l
water my COWS out Ut doors. but. that
is because l do as ! have to do and
not as 1 want to do Most OF the
farmers about here water their cows
out Of doors.
Where water is supplied at all In
the barns. the force that drives the
water comes from tanks of windmills
or from hydraulic rams. The troughs
OF cement seen in some barns, and
which run in front of all the cows, l
believe to be all right. but / prefer
the individual basins.
Most of the cows about here get
their water at the temperature it hap
pens &c be when it comes from the
we'll, but in the winter time 1t would
pay to warm it. am satisfied that
4 COW that is given water with the
chill taken off will drink more of it
and will consequently give more milk
than she otherwise would.
