Poultry Exhibit at the Paya11up Fair

PUYALLUP, Sept. 1O.-Including
every breed in the American Standard
Of Perfection, the recognized poultry
authority. which will number 80 in
all, the poultry exhibit at the Puy-
allup Valley Fair this fall will be the
very cream of Northwest chickens.
The Valley Fair opening the first

Northwest agricultural fairs. And be-
cause it is the last the prize winning
birds from all of the other fairs which
have preceded it will be shipped to
Puyallup to be exhibited there.

this reason the school must take the
work formerly done in the home.
That is why schools are installing de-
parments to teach manual training,
domestic science and art and this has
led to a demand for vocational train
ing in other SUBJECTS, such as agri-
culture, horticulture and other kin
dred subjects in the country, and for
the city training for business OF
various kinds. The study of Latin
and Greek has declined, the sciences
have become far more practical and
helpful and even g 'Readin, 'Writin'
a nd 'Rithmetic" have been modified
as to content and method of presenta-
ton. Culture and everyday life have
drawn much closer together and the
result will be more general uplift
among all the people. The normal
schools prepare teachers to get into
public schools, fitted to teach and
train the children in manual train
ing, domestic art and science, agri-
culture, horticulture and do 1T
efficiently. The development in ten
years in this direction has been steady
and real. School directors now ask
for teachers trained for this kind of
work. The normal school ct Cheney
was the first in the Northwest to in
stall department of rural school
education and has been followed by
other normals, so that now hundreds
of teachers every year are sent into
the public schools who have been
especially trained to supplement the
ordinary school work with training in
manual arts, domestic art and cook
ing, warm lunch at noon, agriculture
and school garden. while at the same
time not neglecting the academic
branches.
All the normals of the state are now
working towards these ends, and the
one at Cheney, in order to help more
effectively in such preparation, has
recognized the plan of It's trianing
school. Student teachers will from
now on spend half day each day for
a term or two in the training school,
instead of an hour each day for three
terms.
Excellent supervisors and two ex-
pert teachers will devote their entire
time to the student teachers and
children. The normal schools are
thus leading the way to what most be-
lieve will be more efficiency and real
education in the wide field Of the
public schools OF the state. The real
test of the good that is being done,
perhaps, is the constant call from all
over the state from county superln-
tendents. teachers and school directors
for help and direction in these newer
paths that lead to better education.

HOW TO KILL GOPHERS AND
MOLES.
M0LES.

rO0enCS is the opinion OF a. II. IOVeIl,
pest expert at the Oregon Agricultural
College. He believes it is necessary
to use a combination of treatments
rather than any one system.
SIN most cases one will have very
good success during the early part of
the fight with the poisoned bait.
Fumigation with carbon si-sulfid gives
very good success in newly formed
burrows of the pocket gopher. This
method is used extensively through
the Middle West on a CONNER cial
scale and over large fields. Where
the application fails it is usually due
to the very extended underground
burrows which occur in fields long in
tested. The carbon si-suIid is used
at the rate of three to six ounces to
each pocket. Saturating dry horse
manure and working this down into
the burrow is very good method OF
application. The material may be
poured slowly into the hole direct.
After trea ting the hole, cover it
thoroughly to hold in the fumes. AL
ways bear in mind that carbon ST
sulfid is as infiammable as gasoline.
Do not open it near hot stove nor
smoke while making the application.
"When the numb Der of pests are con-
siderable lessened they seem to be-
come wary of such methods and then
possibly the trap will be about the
only way that you can catch them.
After the traps cease to be effective,
small boy with rife will usually
keep them down pretty we'll. This
pest usually appears above ground at
certain hours of the day and can be
shot very readily.
''Tbere are two methods of prepar
ing the poisoned bait. One consists
of simply using pieces of carrot or
potato or even ralsins. Make an in
cisiop in each piece and slip in a
crystal of strychnia sulphate. The
burrow should not be left uncovered
in the case of the pocket gopher;
simply scrape away the surface soil
to expose the tunnel; the bait may
then be dropped into the hole aud
the soil replaced.
Sin the case of moles, sharp
pointed stick may be pushed down
into the uplifted earth around the
tunnel and the bait dropped in. Then
simply stamp on the burrow to cut out
the light from below.
"The other method for preparing
the bait with poison is as follows:
Dissolve an ounce of stIychnia sui
plate in a pint Of boiling water; add
a pint Of thick syrup and stir thor
oughly. Scent this with few drops
OF oil of anise. This mixture is sutti
cient to poison half bushel OF wheat
or corn. Simply pour it over the
grain and stir vigorously. This grain,
of course, should not be scattered in
exposed places where birds and poul-
try would get at it.
lin the case of traps, | do not know
that any particular make is to be
recommended All Of them have
cetrain things which make them, IN
the eye of their manufacturers, a
little superior to other types.

prizes of valuable jewelry, clothing
and chicken foods offered by Tacoma
and Seattle and Puyallup merchants.
But it is not the money awards that
attract exhibitors with their poultry.
A blue ribbon from the Valley Fair
is considered to be a far more valu-
able premium than money. The COM

Is keener at the Valley Fair than at
any other, and poultrymen know that
