STATE SUPERINTENDENT
ASKS FOR CO-OPERAT,os

L. R. Alderman, superintendent q,
Public instruction of Oregon has "a
dressed the following letter to teaos
ers of the state:
To the Teachers of Oregon:
Knowing that you are willing -
cooperate in educational work 7 ss,
you to cooperate this year by eneon,
aging all your pupils in the growips
of crops, domestic science and pon'
try raising. Children like to \,
things and will respond to your on
couragement. Your county will hola
fair at which your pupils will h.
asked to exhibit what they raise q,
make. The best of these exhibi,.
will be brought to the state fat,
where liberal prizes will be awarded
Ask your pupils how many of them
would like to have Shetland ponv
thoroughbred Jersey calf worth
500, a pure-bred. pig that would
take the prize at any stock show
pure-bred sheep with wool so tbick
that they would have to feel around
to find its eyes, or goat with flossv
hair that reaches to the ground; Or
secure a fine Scotch Collie puppje
that knows as much as some peonla
or win a money prize that will buv
just what they want. All these prizes
and many more are to be given AZ
the state fair next fall.
Ask If they know how to grow no.
tatoes, pumpkins, squashes, corn, pop
corn, ct cetera. Ask how many Of
them like water melons or musk
melons. The reason SO many BOYS
and girls in Oregon do not grow wa
ter melons is because they are afraid
the other boys will steal them. If
they all grow water melons there
will be no one to steal.
Ask them if they know how to feed
chickens. If they buy three settings
OF eggs from one neighbor, and three
hens from another, and in March put
the two together they will probably
raise some prize-winners for the fair
The children of Oregon can doubls
the egg production in three years.
Ask them if they know that the
size of the pumpkin does not depend
upon the size of the boy or the girl
who plants the seed. l know a girl
six years old who raised corn four
teen feet high. Let us show people
that we are the most alive children
II the world by $4,000 out of our
125,000 children exhibiting at the
county fairs, and $4,000 at the state
fair. Last year $4,000 children in
Iowa had exhibits at fairs. Let us
beat them two to one.

GOOD HINTS ABOUT PLANTING
Soil Should Be Thoroughly Prepared
and Nothing But Best Seeds

Let US thoroughly prepare the soil
before planting. Pillow and harrow un-
til it is like an ash heap for three or
four inches deep.
Plant the best seed that money can
buy.
Do not plant the seed too deep.
When planted too deep there is hard
ly strength enough in the little plant
to reach the air and It often dies be-
fore 1t can draw support from the
soil.
The crust on the soil shuts out the
air so essential to termination and
growth and should be broken every
week and always after a rain.
While the plants are small, thor
oughly work the spaces between the
rows to a depth Of at least four
inches. This leaves a fine seed bed
for the tender plant roots to occupy
later when they are racing around to
find food and water. All later cult
vations should be shallow. Shallow
cultivation keeps dust mulch, checks
the rising soil moisture and plant
food Just at the depth where there
are the most rootlets to utilize them
for plant food.
Shallow cultivation should be con,
tinued as late as practicable.

On the average. the hog house is
the poorest building on the farm and
the least adapted to the purpose for
which II was intended. Good barns
may be seen on large proportion OF
the farms. but are generally hard to
find. II Is economy to put up first the
buildings that will help most to make
money. A large portion OF the farm
ers recognize this and build good
barn before putting up good house.
saying ''the barn will help build the
house but the house viii never help
building the barn" This principle
seems to be lost sight of when it
comes to the hog house. yet no other
building on the farm pays for itself so
quickly. Unpublished data collected
by the writer show that good hog men
average about seven pigs raised to the
litter and many surpass this record.
The same data indicate that the gen.
eral average raised on the farm does
not exceed four pigs to the litter. This
wide difference is very largely due to
the housing.
Many houses which cost enough to
be good are thoroughly unit for the
purpose because the sun cannot shine
Into the pens. Nearly every large hog
house is deficient in either sunshine or
ventilation, or In both.
The illustration shows a house built
by one Of the most prominent Duroc
breeders after careful study. It is a
most serviceable structure and one of
the best the writer has ever seen. It
is one of the few hog houses that
have proved so satisfactory that the
owners are willing to duplicate them.
This house has been copied by a num-
Der of farmers in the vicinity. some Of
whom. however. have made the mis-
take of building longer house and
not making provision for outside pens
for the extra inside pens.

Strange Way In Which Public Came
to Learn Of Operation on Presl-

In August. 1893. there was printed

tail of a serious operation performed
upon the upper left Jaw of President
Grover Cleveland while he was at sea
on the yacht of his friend, e. c. Bene-
dict OF New York. The report was In
the best sense Of the word sensation
al; the operation was the sole topic
OF national discussion.
For some time thereafter the truth
OF the report was disputed by several
newspapers. and 1t was thought adj
visable by those who we're near Presi-
dent Cleveland at his summer home at
Buzzard's Bay to give out a qualified
denial Of its accuracy But later. the
late Daniel 8. Lamont. then Cleve
lands private secretary. who was with
Cleveland at the time the operation
was performed. confessed to me that
my account of the operation on the
president was so amazingly accurate
that II was impossible not to believe
that Il ha6 been described to me by
some one who was in the presidential
party at the time of the operation.
