Peat Soil and Sand for Cranberries

"To grow cranberries you must
have peat soil," says Prof. C. L.
Lewis of the Oregon Agricultural COL
lege. eff the soil contains much clay
the vines will grow, but the plant will
not be very productive.
"First the land is thoroughly
cleaned off, all trees, brush, grass and
even grass roots being removed. The
land is then leveled and several inches
of sand, free from grass and salt, is
spread on. 1t is important to keep
the water table within foot of the
surface during the growing season.
If there is stream of living water on
the land it is all the better, since you
can flood the land with this and help
to keep down insect and frost in
juries. "
o. A. C. has no cranberry bulletin
at present, but valuable ones can be
secured by writing to the Wisconsin
experiment station at Madison, the
Massachusetts agricultural college at
Amherst, or by sending for the de-
partment number of Better Fruit,
published at Hood River, Ore., which
contains a special article on cram
berries by G. N. Bennett of Warren.

in this industry on the coast.

FRENCH PASTRIES IN DEMAND
First Served by Fashionable Hotels,
They Have Been Taken UP by
Hostesses Who Are Up to Date.

The increase in the number Of goou
patisserie shops where really delicious
French pastries can be purchased
probably accounts for the serving of
French pastries for dessert at the
home table just as they have been
served for years in the big hotels and
restaurants. There special boy goes
about with huge silver platter filed
with concoctions that make the mouth
water and the purse strings open.
When the diner or luncher chooses the
sort he desires the boy deftly removes
1t with wide bladed silver knife.
Nowadays the home hostess has the
maid pass French pastries at luncheon
and dinner. They are passed on big
platter and naturally each guest
chooses the particular sort which ap-
peals to him.
Many of them are simply boat
shaped shells Of puff paste filled with
fruit of some sort. Grapes, covered
with rich syrup, are sometimes used
for filling; and strawberries, luscious
and ripe, combined with syrup, can
also be used Some of the pastries are
made in layers of puff paste with an
appetizing and delicate cream or al
mond paste or fruit filling between.
These interesting pastries really
help to solve one of the housewives
many worries, for they constitute a
dessert which is easily procured and
which is q welcome relief from Ices
and creams and the more usual sweets
served.-New York Times.

Cream for Butter Making.

Four main defects in farm butter
as compared with creamery butter are
pointed out by o. G. Simpson of the
dairy school at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. He says:
1.-The main defects in farm butter,
as compared with creamery butter,
are bad flavor, staleness or rancidity,
too many shades of color, and unsuita-
BILE packages. The flavor is of the
highest Importance, and no matter
how good the butter is in other re-
spects, if flavor is wrong it is classed
as an inferior article.
''No matter how skillful the butter
maker is, it is impossible for him to
make strictly first class butter out
Of poorly favored or tainted cream.
Cream may become tainted from four
causes; Bacterial infection, absorp-
ton Of favors, food eaten, or disease
in the cow. The bacterial infection
may come of unclean cows and stables,
unclean condition If mixers, unclean
utensils, or keeping the cream in un-
clean surroundings, especially in a
temperature above 60 degrees.
Absorption of favors takes place
with remarkable rapidity when milk
or cream is allowed to stand in an at
mosphere where odors are present,
especially when the milk is warm.
Foods that have strong tastes and
odors such as onions, decayed silage,
old stalky kale, or turnip tops should
not be fed within few hours of milk
ing. Experiments have shown that
milk will not possess the flavors OF
such foods if not drawn for eight OF
twelve hours after feeding. Cows
that are abnormally heated or excited
before milking give tainted milk
Many diseases also affect the cows

GET BUSY WITH CHAFlNG DISH
Many Delicious Connections May Be
Prepared, for the Late or SUM-
day Night Supper.

A light, but fairly substantial edible.
served piping hot, directly from chat
ing dish, adds immensely to the In
formal Sunday night supper. Creamed
salmon is delicious and is easy to pre-
pare in chatting dish. Use the hot
water pan first, brown little butter
and sprinkle crumbed bread into it,
turning over until crisp. Set these
crisped crumbs aside and proceed.
with the blazer pan, to make sim
pie bechamel or cream sauce, first
melting tablespoon of butter, stir
ring in tablespoon of flour and add
Ing scant cup of milk. Season this
fairly-thick white sauce with salt, pep
per and a few drops of lemon Juice.
Stir In a can Of salmon and when
steaming hot and ready to serve. shake
over the top the Drowned crumbs. The
creamed salmon may be served with
out the bread crumbs, but they add an
appetizing flavor, suggestive of the
Drowned crust over q hot dish pre-
pared in the oven.

Shows Defects In Farm Butter
Making.

IA fairly rich cream gives best re-
suits for butter making, says o. G..
Simpson, of the Oregon Agricultural
college dairy school. "a cream that
will test 30 to 35 per cent or produce
about three and half pounds of but
ter to ten pounds of cream is good.
Other conditions being equal, rich
cream will keep longer and churn
more easily than thin cream.
"If the cream is to be kept any
length of time before ripening, il
should be cooled Immediately after
skimming to below 60 degrees. Tin
containers are preferable to crooks OF
other material. Tin allows the TEN.
perature to be changed more easily,
and is easier to handle and keep clean.
If two lots of cream are to be mixed,
they should both assume the same
temperature before mixing"

Warm Weather Art Taught at
College.

The warm weather courses in art at
the Oregon Agricultural college sum-
mer session will be conducted mainly
out of doors, to develop keener ap-
probation of art as applied to the
beauties of nature, and more friend
ly attitude toward art as related to
the happiness of everyday life.
This does not mean that the work
will be superficial, but by approaching
the subject from the point of view of
composition, beauty and use, rather
than from an analytic view point,
there will be aroused better under
standing of the relation of art to daily
happiness, matter of Importance in
an age which lays so much stress on
the utilitarian.
A home science course for school
girls Is years old or more is part of
the o. A. c. summer session work this

Boiled Salmon Steak.

Boil pint of broth or water with a
small bunch of celery, half teaspoon.
full of salt, quarter saltspoonful Of pep.
per and tablespoonful of vinegar. Cut
the steaks in suitable pieces and put
the fragments and bones in the boiling
liquid. Place the salmon in a clean
saucepan and strain the seasoned broth
over 1t; cover and let boil briskly for
ten minutes. Serve in deep dish
with the liquor instead Of sauce. The
full flavor and the richness Of the fish
are preserved in this dish.

this. 1t has arisen not only out OF
the need of the Japanese for a con-
venient medium of communication and
the availability of the English language
for that purpose, but it means also
genuine liking of the Japanese for the
language and the institutions of Great
Britain. 1t represents, in fact, an Ell.
fort on the part of this progressive
nation to adopt into her own civiliza'
tion those moral and practical ideals
which she has recognized with friend
ly admiration in Great Britain and in
America.
Other Points of Similarity.
Not only is the form of education
much the same in America and Japan,
but a comparison Of Japanese and
American student ideals shows extra
ordinary points of similarity. The ia
panese show alertness, resourceful
ness and power of initiative. Further
more. in the Japanese student is the
extraordinary individual ambition to
succeed, coupled generally with an
idealistic impulse toward patriotic and
social service.
The Japanese people have inherited
a deep reverential devotion toward the
imperial house which affects student
ideals as profoundly as those of other
groups of the population. This intense
feeling is the heritage of many CEN
turies..
AS consequence of this deep nat
ional feeling. the Japanese student
takes his education not simply as
personal opportunity, but as part of
his service to his sovereign and to his
country.
1t goes without saying that in Japan,
as in other parts of the world, there
are students who are lazy and indif.

ferent and who fall by the wayside:
but on the other hand, the average
college student of Japan looks upon
his education less in the light of a per
sonal opportunity and more in the
nature Of call to serve his soyer.
eign and his country College spirit
is with him synonymous with patriot
ism. 1t is not local, but national.
With him, education is matter of
personal ambition, but always with the
ideal of serving his native land.
The influence that goes far to con-
ceal from the outside observer the
fact that the underlying ideals of the
Japanese and American student are
much alike Is the difference in the
philosophy Of life between the east
and the west.
The philosophy that the Japanese
student learns teaches him to repress
his emotions, to conceal from the
world the evidences of suffering and
of joy, of love and of hate. The phil.
osophy of the westerner permits him
to exhibit freely these emotions.
But the educated westerner who can
look below the surface to the human
nature beneath will understand that a
Japanese gentleman has a heart in his
bosom. even If his code of life teaches
him to express his Joy and his sor.
row In ways that to western eyes
seem cold
