Cost Of oilina Randn

A recently published report Of the
Boston park commission Is interesting
In 1906 twelve miles Of road were
treated with oil to keep down the
dust. and the result was SO satisfac-
tory that in 1907 the whole extent Of
more than forty miles was treated In
this way. Mr.. Putnam. the engineer
has carefully calculated the cost and
he says that the annual cost of sprin-
king thirty foot roadway was s4s9
a mile. whereas the cost Of oIl!ng the
same roadway thirty feet wide was
1915. In addition to laying the dust
the asphaltum in the oil had binding
effect on the surface Of the road and
very materially lessened the cost for
repairs. The oil is put on In an emul.
sion in which fifteen pounds of soap
dissolved in fifty gallons Of water are
mixed with a hundred gallons of crude
oil, the whole being agitated to the
proper point Of emulsion, and then $50
gallons OF this are mixed with $50 Gal-
Ions of water and sprinkIed on the
roads. The plan has given the very
best satisfaction in Boston and might
be tried elsewhere with corresponding
" satisfactory results.

a storY q pr. MiteheIl.

The following anecdote is told of
Dr.. Weir Mitchell: While on one
of his foreign trips he decided to
consult very eminent German spe-
cialist regarding a nervous disease
of his own Of long standing. The
two men had never met before, SO
he sent up his card as '1Ir. Mitchell
Of Philadelphia" and was received
by the German under this title.
The physician examined him very
carefully and then said, my dear
sir, do you say You come from Phil
adelphia?"
The doctor was forced to admit
the iniquity.
"Well," said the physician, 'have
you consulted Dr.. s. Weir Mitchell
Of that city,"
The doctor said that he had.
"And he couldn't help you?"
No." was the answer.
"Then," said the doctor, remov-
ing his spectacles with an air of
fnality, %Pm afraid I can't do any
thing for you"

First Pheasant Farm

who has quietly established for him
self unique. profitable and interesting z

A few years ago Gene Simpson was
q book keeper in Corvallis, who had a
hobby for raising fancy chickens in his
back yard. suburban fashion. Formerly
he was a Californian. having gone
through the Spanish American war
with our First California volunteers in
the Philippines. but that is not this
story.
It chanced one day that a mower in
a field near Corvallis ran over and
killed a wild pheasant hen, leaving 10
embryo pheasants to a fate Of extinc-
tion. An unconscious humanitarian,
seeing the incident and knowing Simp-
sons aptitude with young feathered
things. carried the eggs. the embryo

a Cochln-BsRtam hen.
Eleven China ring neck pheasants
were raised to maturity that year. The
next season this number was increased
TO several dozens. The back yard was
next exchanged for three lots on the
outskirts OF the town This location
has in turn given way to 20 acres of
land a few miles north of Corvallis. and

The English ringneck is now founo

about the same price we pay for fancy
poultry good, weighty bird bringing
about so to 80 cents. That this deli
cacy may become one of the possible
ties of our own menus is a prospect Of
the near future, for the law bearing on
game birds has been somewhat modified
in Oregon, permitting domestic raised
birds to be sold for market within the
state under certain specified conditions.
A similar change in the law Of Cali
fornia is contemplated. This change in
condition will be welcomed by our
lovers Of good living, for Mr.. Simpson
shows orders and opportunities from
our leading hotels all over the state
orders which he has thus far been
obliged reluctantly to turn down.
The ringnecks are magnificent in
coloring and form, but they are sur
passed in these particulars by the other
so called ornamental varieties which
are raised for aviaries, both public and
private; geological gardens and country
places, large and small, the small home
