CLEAR LAND WITH
POWERFUL DONKEY

With powerful, high speed so horse
power donkey engine the Boneboro
Orchard Co. is effectively and swiftly
clearing its large tract of land in the
Upper Valley district on the line of
the Mt. Hood r. r. Co. north of Park
dale. The large stumps are first
blasted to break them up and then the
engine is put into play. The powerful
machine draws them from the earth
with ease. An inch and a quarter
steel cable is used and so great IS its
strength that large sized fir trees and
pines have been completely uprooted.
To test the power of the engine one
day a choker was placed about a pine
three and half feet in diameter only
so high as the workmen could reach.
When the drums were started to re-
volving the roots we're torn from thieI
roots in the soil.
The big orchard company has been
using this means of clearing for year
and on account of the capability of its
engineer, II. C. Rowland, who has had
much experience with donkey engines
both in the Michigan lumber camps
and in this state, has never had to lay
off for repairs. About 14O acres have
been cleared in this manner and set to
trees After the stumps are pulled
the engine is used to pile them and the
many logs, unsuitable for lumber, that
cover the ground. A large crew OF
Japs then follow and clean the soil OF
smaller debris, which is piled ard
burned as are the larger logheaps.
The field is then leveled by a large
leveling machine, which is followed by
ploWs and harrows.

Dad FOutS Will Build Summer Hotel.

Dad Fouts, a pioneer of this country

Waucoma Hotel, the name of which
was changed to the Oregon. when the
building was remodeled, was in this
city last Thursday and states that he
had begun the building of a story,
so room summer hOtle at Cooks, Wash.
Mr.. Fouts, who is now living in Port
land but who owns a ranch in that
neighborhood which he has beeni devel-
oping for the past year or two, says
that Cooks, situated as it is on the
Little White Salmon River, is an ex-
cellent place for summer hotel and
that it has good prospects of becoming
the vacation place of many Portland
people. The new hotel, the excavating
of which is now under way, will be
equipped with all modern conveniences.
1t will be heated by steam and each of
the rooms will be furnished with hot
and cold water.

Movable School of Agriculture.

Just what movable schools of
agriculture" is like, was shown the
state Changers at their annual conven.
tion, last week. The o. A. G.. had
prepared aRsmall model School, with a
suggestive program of practical infor-
nation of vital Importance to the
farmers, and had members of the fac
ulty present to explain the exhibits
and apparatus.
As an outgrowth Of the farmers in
stitutes there has developed an urgent
demand for a more extensive educa-
tional system for the farmer. The
movable school is suggested by the
college as a solution of the difficulty
so that, practically in their own homes,
all who desire may have the advantage
of moderately equipped laboratories
for technical study and practical work
in problems relating to the farm and
home.
The college planned to conduct these
schools at least three days at time in
each place, with three or more depart
ments of instruction, such as domestic
science,H 4 dairying, poultry husbandry
and horticulture. But few can be sent
out at present, since the legislature
refused the extension work appropria-
tion asked for this year, but it is
hoped that future legislature may
provide for this study of applied science
of housekeeping and farming.
The one-week program suggested by
the domestic science departent includes
sewing, bread making. meats and
vegetables, home nursing, invalid diet
and like subjects. The horticulture
department outlined three days work
in pruning, grating, budding, spray
ing, apple picking, and similar topics.
The poultry department suggests
teaching the housing of fouls, incuba-
tion and brooding, and the solution of
other problems of the poultry farmer.
