small means who wish to own
the land which they till the lit
tie farm solves a serious problem of
life. The choice of location is impor-
tant. To get the best results 1t is nee
essary to be near at least one good
town.
In modern conditions farming has to
be made business proposition. Even
the city man who wishes a restful
country home is seldom averse to hav-
ing his land show a balance of profit.
All farming ought to pay better than
it does. and the operations of any one
owning a small tract of land ought to
show what may be realized by apply
ing business methods to agriculture.
AS land increases In value intensive
farming will come more into vogue.
The man of ordinary means who is
getting started in agriculture must try
to make forty acres accomplish what
he would have used eighty or hun
dred acres for in an earlier day.
The up to date plan OF running a lit
tie farm is to have such a variety of
products that the work is evenly dis
tributed over the year and there is
something to sell each week or month.
A farmer with forty acres operating
on the principle of diversihcation can
show results as follows:

BY c. c. BOWSFIELD

1t is cosy to vary this program by
raising a span of colts each season and
producing a quantity of fruit, vegeta-
bles, honey, etc. A farmer can accom-
plish as much on forty acres by such
diversifcation as he can with grain
crops or a dairy on 100 or even 200
acres.

1t is very essential to make
money, but 1t should not be done
at q sacrifice Of the fertility that
Is in the land. The thing to do Is
to raise crops that will enrich
the land at the same time as
they enrich the farmer.

In the latter illustration there is no
dairy. This feature involves more hard
and constant labor than any other, but
with the question of help settled a
dairy of ten or twelve cows is a good
thing. Pork raising is profitable.
l have foHnd rape, artichokes and
carrots valuable crops for hogs. The
artichoke is especially hardy and pro-
life, providing an early field fodder.
Late in the season field of peas is a
good thing just before the finishing up
with corn.
Hogs thrive nicely on alfalfa or any
kind of clover. 1t pays to get skim
milk or whey from the factories and
table garbage from dwellings, or hotels.

YOUNG FARMER IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
w. E. Brown, Thrown
From Load of Wheat,
Narrowly Misses Death.

w. E. Brown of Blackhorse,
narrowly missed being killed in
an accident which happened to
him Thursday last while on the
road to Heppner with load of
wheat He was bringing in a
load of sixty sacks of wheat, and
when in front of the w. O. Minor
place the wagon was caused to
lurch by striking several bad
chuck holes in the roae. This
threw Mr.. Brown from the wagon
directly under the wheels which
passed over the side of his body.
That he was not instantly killed
was perhaps prevented by a sack
of wheat going off with him
which the wheel passed over first,
thus holding the weight of the
load off of Mr.. Brown. He also
had the presence of mind to hold
or to the lines and was pulled
away from the wheels so that his
body was not caught in the mid
die. AS it was he suffered the
fracture of several ribs and re-
ceived severe internal injuries
and is under the care of physi-
clans at the Heppner Sanatorium.
He is reported to be doing as well
as could be expected under the
circumstances. The weight of
the load was sufficient to have
cut his body in two had it passed
over him with nothing in the way
to prevent.

Trouble With Pumps.

For several days this week the
pumps have been out of commits
sion at the power plant and as a
consequence the company has
been compelled to turn in the
water flom the emergency supply
from the spring up the creek. In
order to be able at all times to
keep up the supply in the mains
and reservoirs Of good well water
the Heppner Light & Water Co.
finished sinking their second deep
well about two years ago and put
in pump so that when one quit
on them the other could be put
to work. In fact the two wells
have been used alternately much
of the time and there was no
thought that they would go out
of commission simultaneously.
This happened, however and it
has kept a force of men working
day land night all the week to
make repairs and the pumps are
not in order yet. Mr.. Gates saw
to it Immediately that all patrons
were notified and the request
made that all water used for
drinking purposes be boiled, that
no evil results might follow the
use of the spring water. The
reservoirs on the hill are each
filled to their full capacity and
will not be disturbed except in
case of fire.
There will be no we'll water
turned in until further notice, is
the positive statement of Mr..
Gates.

had no doubt been left by the

til he could find a more conven-
lent season to hustle it out of the

to Heppner and again given into

dismounted for few minutes in

BEARD IS
POPULAR DIRECTOR

Many Gazette Times readers
will no doubt recall the visit OF
Captain Harry Beard to Heppnel
during the three days celebra-
tion in 1909. Yes, the Cap.
came and brought with him seven
or eight stars" Of the O. A. C.
band. By adding several local
brass" artists to the college ma
terial he managed to turn out a
brand of music far superior to
anything heard here for several
years. To get results with a
strange bunch is no easy task,
but several years of directing the
College band, where each June
has marked the passing of some
of his best musicians, has put
him up against the proposition Of
developing at least part Of a new
band each fall and he has ac-
quired a knowledge of this work
which is the envy of many older
directors.
His ability to win the good side
of his boys is one thing which
aids very materially in his success
as a leader. His keen sense of
humor and ever ready wit make
him a fit companion for those in
his charge. 1t creates a loyalty
almost amounting to devotion,
and there is not one of that band |
who would not fight to the very
last inch for his Captain. He is
one of the boys" but his asso-
citation is that kind which marks
him as a leader of men. So it is
with this leadership that the Ore
gon Agricultural College now
boasts of the finest college band
west of the Mississippi and on a
par with the best professional
bands of the Northwest.
Captain Boards witticisms are
not confined to the band boys,
for he takes delight in delivering
4 Highlander to an outsider now
and then. Such an opportunity

Albert Smith FurneIl.

The subject of this sketch was
born in Franklin county, State of
Maine, on the 26th day of April,
1881. He received his education
in the common schools of his ma
tive county and at Kent's Hill
Academy in the same state.
At the early age of 18 years he
began teaching, an occupation he
never abandoned until compelled
to by old age. He was never,
either as boy or man, of a robust
constitution, and in 1854 he came
West to California in the hope
that under the influence of the
salubrious climate of that favored
land he might regain his health
and recuperate his wasting ener-
gies. His hopes in this respect
were realized in part and he was
able to resume his labors in the
school room. He continued to
teach in the public schools Of that
state during his entire residence
therein.
In 1860, Mr.. Furnell was united
in marriage to Miss Henrietta c.
Mcdaniel in Colusa county, Cali
fornia, who after more than fifty
three years of happy welded life
is left alone to mourn erirrepar-
able loss.
Some years later, probably in
the 70's., Mr.. and Mrs. Furnell
came to Oregon, settling first in
Lane county at or near the town |
Of Cresswell, but finding condi-
tions there not altogether to their
liking, after a few years they |
sought the higher and dryer eli
mate of Eastern Oregon, and cast
their lot in Morrow county. For
a number of years past they have
lived in the city of lone, where
he peacefully passed away at
December II.
In 1901, Mr.. Furnell fuffered a
severe attack of typhoid fever
from the effects of which he new
er fully recovered, and from that
time forward he never expert
enced a well day. His lungs be-
came involved in the general
