kuRIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

@. note In recent "Kurios" you
state you saw a hen that laid when
her abdomen was so full Of tumors
that her oviduct and intestines could no
longer perform their functions. Can
hen lay without an oviduct? A. No.
The printer failed to get our correction

and am wondering if you haven't some
thing as effectual for the green lice
that kill my rosebushes. A. Simply
dissolve half five cent cake of COM
mon store washing soap in two gal
Ions of water, place in this teaspoon
full of kerosene and spray the bush
thoroughly. One thorough application
will be found sufficient.
Q. How many varieties of Wyan-
dottes does the new Standard of Per
fectlon contain. Please name. A. Sill

@. What should one do for that large
swelling that appears on the sole of
chickens foot? l have large Brahma

notice one of his feet has webs a great
deal like a ducks. If he Is about per-
feet in all other sections would not his
other good qualities overbalance this

him? A. No He would be debarred
from competition. Don't breed from
him.

The 1913 Legislature attempt
ed a second rescue. 1t appro-
priated funds for one new struc-
ture, but added in a second bill
$75, 600 for repairs and additions
as follows: To the library build
ing, $50, 1000; engineering build
ing, $751; 900; Deady Hall, $40, 900;
mems dormitory, $4,000; heat
ing plant, $4,000.
Again the referendum has been
invoked, and again the Univer-
sity is put under the utmost
strain to handle the incoming
students, who this fall will prob
ably number $50 in the colleges
of liberal arts and engineering
alone. The SITE, 600 is available
at the state treasury, and con-
struction Of the one building and
repairs and additions to the others
will be begun at once if the voters
uphold the two appropriations.
To uphold the appropriations will
enable the University to accom-

until the millage bill takes effect
and removes both University of

OREGON'S HOP CROP
IS OF GREAT VALUE
Producers Enjoying Unusual
Combination of Big Crop
and High Prices.

Hopgrowers in Oregon this
year are enjoying the unusual
combination Of big crop and high
prices, the yield being one of
the finest the state has ever had
and the market is advancing at
the rate of one to two cents per
day. The demand at the present
time is largely from Europe,
English buyers, especially, being
eager to stock up while the price
is within reason. So far, Amer
ican buyers are making little
effort to buy, although it is known
that many of them have contract
ed hops to the brewers at prices
considerably below the present
market. Oregon's crop is proba-
bly, the best of any hop growing
section in the world, and as it is
conceded that the total world
crop for this year will fall many
millions of pounds below the
average annual consumption, the
only worry of the Oregon farmer
is that he may be induced to sell
too soon. 1t is freely predicted
that the price will go above 80
cents within the next few weeks.
At the second juvenile fair re-
Gently held at Wilsonville, Ore,
a nine year-old boy carried off a
total of 81 prizes, winning first |
on practically all lines Of fruits
and vegetables, and also took
first money in the chicken display.
Among the other items shown by
this youthful farmer was a box
Of 142 pounds of American Won
Ter potatoes, the product of one
one spud.

a aERMoN ERoM NATURE.

Let US be cheerful like the birds.
Old robin, singing there,
Has little hungry mouths to feed
And other earthly care,
Yet he starts singing at the dawn,
And when the sun has gone
He sits beside his nesting mate
And sings an even song.
Let us be busy like the bees.
My, how the bees do work!
And yet with all their daily toll
They never shirk nor jerk
How happily they buzz and fly
From flower unto flower!
90 may we work and store away
Treasure from every hour.
Let us be useful like the trees.
The apple, peach and pear
Blossom so sweetly in the spring.
What luscious fruit they bearl
Thus life is meant to bear good fruit
And we should fill our sphere
That others. seeing our good works,
May glorify God here.
Let us be harmless as the rose
And other lovely flowers
That shine like stars upon the earth
And glorify its bowers.
The lily speaks of purity.
So may our souls be white
And later bloom in paradise
In gardens Of delight.

MUSIC AND SEXUAL
MORALITY.
Calvin S. White, M. d.

The decadence of our times ir
music, as illustrated in our popu.
lar songs in the last three-quar-
ters of century, is certainly
APPALLING. The songs of rs years
ago, "Old Tom Moore, " Believe
Me, F." Annie Laurie, Bonnie
Sweet Bessie" and "The Last
Rose of Summer" were largely
supplanted at the time of the
Civil War by popular songs set
to martial tunes and were sung
by all a generation ago. How
ever as time decimated the ranks
of those who had served in the
army and as the sweethearts of
the soldiers became the grand
mothers of the present genera
ton, these songs were largely
suyplanted by light sentimental
songs, such as Ben Bolt" and
white Wings, and we all gave
a shudder when Pretty Annie
Rooney" together with "Sally
in Our Alley" swept over the
country like wild fire. 1t was
said that we were degenerating
in our tastes, but now the worst
of the cheap and tawdry senti-
mental songs of ten years ago are
nothing compared to the abomin-
able, demoralizing and almost
obscene songs of the present day,
ground out from photographs,
beloved in vaudeville, shouted
on excursions and whistled by
newsboys.
Our music stores and song
shops fill their windows with
popular songs, the vileness of
the title page only equalled by
the disgraceful chorus on the in
side. "Everybody's Doing 1t"
probably was to try out public
opinion. Evidently public opin-
ion approved of it, for it was fol-
lowed by Mabel, How Do You
Manage to Do 1t on s12a Week."
Everybody Loves Chicken,
and so on, adnauseam. What
sort of education in chivalry is
this? Who is Mabel? Who are
the chickens? The vile pictures
of lecherous old reprobates, leer-
ing at the pretty-faced and trim
Young women on the
title page of a so-called popular
song displayed all over the land
is not an encouraging sign of
in the campaign against
a double standard of morality.

FIVE MEASURES FOR
VOTERS TO CONSIDER
Special Election Called For
Nov. a to Pass on Five Re-
ferred Measures.

Unfamiliarity with the issues
to be voted on at the special re-
ferendum election of November
A, has been found quite general
throughout Oregon. Some voters
have an understanding of one,
some of two or three of the issues,
| but few of the entire group. The
five issues are as follows:
Shall an appropriation Of $780,
10000, made by the 1918 Legis-
lature, to construct and equip
an administration and class
room building for the University
of Oregon and to extend the heat
ing plant through it, be permit
ted to stand =?
Shall an appropriation of SIS, :
600. 90, made by the 1918 Legis-
lature, for additions and repairs
to three University of Oregon
buildings and to the University's
central heating plant, be permit
ted to stand ?
Shall the Sterilization Act,
passed by the 1913 Legislature,
to protect the public from habit
ual criminals and moral degener-
ates be permitted to stand ?
Shall the act of the 1913 Legis-
lature providing a county attorn-
ey for each county and fixing
salaries, stand ?
Shall the Workmen's Compen-
sation Act stand ?
Chief interest appears to center
around the fate of the two Uni
versity appropriations and that
of the Compensation Act. Be
levers in education throughout
the state are aroused over this
latest attack upon the Universe
tvs progress. They state the
case in part as follows
No new building has been
erected at the University for six
years, during which period at
tendance has doubled. AS far
back as 1910 instruction was be-
ing given under extreme Difficult
ties. The 1911 Legislature came
to the rescue by appropriating
money for two new buildings.
Personal enemies of the Univer-
sity resorted to the referendum
and no buildings could be erected.
1t then became necessary to be-
gin holding classes in Easements,
in Railways and in temporary
places hastily thrown together

FEATHERs AND EoesHELLs.

One way to get ducks off their feed
| is to get them excited. A dog or
boy chasing the flock can so disturb a
| flock of market ducks as to put them
out of condition. Same way in the
laying house. A disturbance that puts
the hens on nerve knocks the egg
record.
Some one says, "The best way to
tell whether an egg contains a rooster
or a hen is to hatch the egg under
hen and watch the chick for year,
and if it crows it's a rooster, and if il
lays eggs it's hen"
1t is occasionally the case that
breeding pen contains hens that are
not popular with the male or which
give him the cold shoulder. A testing
Of the eggs will show some of the eggs
infertile, and they may be easily traced.
Such hens should be mated to another
male as it is seldom they become rec
onciled to the head of the harem or the
male makes up with them.
When the American Poultry associa-
ton met at Nashville, Tenn. most
restaurants put on lots of chicken frills,
and chicken soup, chicken salad, chick
en- sandwich and stuffed eggs were on
about every bill of fare. The men,
bers felt like the boy who said to the
friend who entertained him: Don't
want none of that. Got plenty of that
at home"
The Single Comb Brown Leghorn
seems TO be dropping out of sight very
few being seen at shows, and one sell
dom sees flock of them. One reason
for this is because show requirements
are such that the ridiculous double
mating system must be resorted to to
get birds to win. This unnatural
method applied to Barred Rocks has
also retired them from the head Of the
procession.
A way TO interest that boy and to
keep him busy and happy Is to give
him an interest in the flock, whether
chickens. turkeys, ducks or geese.
Make him a member Of the firm, give
him part of the profit and watch him
get busy. Busy boys. with work that
gives them a sense Of prOprietorship
and a chance to make money. are not
among our dime novel readers nor as
sociates Of the bad boys Of the stre1s:5.
A fancier was recently tried ut WI
Transport. Pa, for shooting and killing
a chicken thief. The jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty after five min
utes' deliberation. Judges in Pennsyl-
vania are getting away from the idea
that stealing a horse and chicken
does not show the same moral turpi-
tude. and juries no longer consider
chicken stealing a laughing matter.

There are hens that lay little eggs.
hens that lay medium and hens that
lay big eggs, and the only way to get
a flock that lays the big eggs is to breed
from the big egg layers.
Such hens should be bred to a male
whose dame laid the big egg.
No; it's not in the name either.
Minorca fanciers claim Minorcas lay
the largest eggs. and Light Brahma
fanciers claim their big feather leg lays
the largest eggs, yet We have seen eggs
from both that looked like cents.
It's the strain, not the breed name,
that tells It's whether they are bred
for big eggs.
Two other points. Our big egg lay
ers don't eat much more than hens that

lay the "weenty teenty" egg, either,
nor do they lay fewer eggs because
their eggs are large and they are good
sized hens.
To say that perfectly formed big
hen can't lay as many eggs as per-
fectly formed ordinary sized hen is as
absurd as to say that a large grapevine
of perfect structure can't produce as
many grapes as a small grapevine of
perfect structure.
We know it's not so.
