Glow Burbank Would Treat a
Child -

Luther Burbank thinks that the
training of children should be in many
respects like the training of plants.
He says:
"Do not be cross with the child
you cannot afford it. If you are culti-
waiting a plant, developing it into
something finer and nobler, you must
love it, not hate it; be gentle with it,
not abusive; be firm, never harsh.
give plants upon which l am at work
in test, whether a single one or a
hundred thousand, the best possible
environment. So should it be with 8
child, if you want to develop it ir
right ways. Let the children have
music, let them have pictures, lei
them have laughter, let them have 6
good time; not an idle time, but one
full of cheerful occupation. Surround
them with all the beautiful things yor
can. Plants should be given sun ant
air and blue sky; give them to youl
boys and girls. l do not mean for {
day or month, but for all the years
We cannot treat plant tenderly one
day and harshly the next; they canno
stand it. Remember that you are
not training for day only, but for al
the future, for all posterity.-Michi

A Ranchman's Bread.

Ranchman's bread is made as fol-
lows, according to the recipe in the
camp cookery bulletin issued by the
Oregon Agricultural college and now
out of print.
Mix a lard pail two-thirds full of
medium batter of flour and water, add
ing one tablespoonful of sugar. AL
low it to stand until the mixture has
fermented and then become sour.
Pour out about half cup of the sour
dough and add half teaspoon of salt,
a teaspoon of lard and enough -four to
make very soft dough.
Melt lard or other grease in pan
and drop the dough in with a spoon,
turning it over in the grease. Allow
it to raise until about double in bulk,
and then bake. The half cup of sour
dough taken out may be poured back
in the lard pail and the original guam
tity of batter stirred up. 1t will all
be sour in a few hours, and ready for
use. The exact amount of soda added
depends on the sourness of the dough,
and must be determined by experience.

Farm Home Should Have Furnace
Room.

every farm home should have a
basement room with furnace heat,
where the men of the family could re-
move their muddy, wet garments, and
where they could wash before going
into the kitchen or dining room," said
Mrs. Henrietta w. Calvin, dean of
home economics at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, in recent lecture be-
fore farm women.
."No small amount of dissention
would thus be removed, and the floors
would be kept clean," she continued.
"Poor floors are hard to keep clean
and give poor returns for the labor ex-
pended upon them. With furnaces,
good floors, a convenient and abundant
water supply, bath room in place of
the poor conveniences ordinarily sup
piled, an adequate lighting system and
electric machinery there would be
many housekeepers, now discontented,

A sick hen Is never paying invest
ment.
Dry coops are cheaper than sick
chicks.
For the egg eating habit try darken-
ing the nests.
Little and often is good feeding
rule for chicks.
Poultry success depends more on
condition than on breed.
Crossing breeds is a step backward
in the chicken business.
If chickens are worth raising at all
they are worth raising we'll.
1t is better to cut chickens head
off than to let him eat it off.
Sell, kill or confine all male birds
when the Matching season is over
Overheating is responsible for more
incubator troubles than underheating.
Feed the little chicks what they
need, not what you happen to have
on hand.
Don't forget to have row Of sun
flowers; the seeds are excellent for
poultry.
Remember that water glass solution
will keep this summers eggs until
they double in price.
Whatever your scheme Of ventila-
ton in the poultry-house, let no
drafts reach the roosts.
A half pint of carbonic acid in two
gallons of water makes a good disin.
fectant for any purpose.
Removing the cause Of disease is
more satisfactory all around than doc
toring the chicken afterward.
Often the farmer who cusses the
hired man for leaving shovel in the

There are scrub people as well as

such folks keeping or believing In

horsepower. OF this amount, 37.5OO
horsepower are now being developed
at q cost of S3,360,000. The power.
houses will be ready for operation
within several months after the auue-
duct is placed in operation, and their
output will be devoted to lighting the
citys streets and boulevards. The
designer and constructor of this great
work, which in point of magnitude
ranks as the third largest hydraulic
work under way in the western hemis-
phere, is the City's Water Engineer,
Mr.. William Hulholland.
The accompanying picture gives a
good idea of the formidable nature
of the enterprise, and the immense
scale on which the work has been car
ried out. 1t shows how the huge
pipe has been carried down one side
OF thu arid Jawbone canyon, across the
bottom Of the valley and high up ON
the opposite side to the point where 1t
dives below the surface of the soil,
and is continued underground.
The Jawbone siphon alone is 5000
leet IN length-or owe. one and half
mlles-measures from seven feet six
inches to ten feet in diameter. and
has total weight of $500 tons. The
picture is taken looking north. from
the south rim of the canyon and 500
feet above the valley floor, and be-
tween the bottom of the canyon and
the point on it's side where the pipe
plunges underground the difference iE
level is $50 feet. At the lowest point
the water pressure is enormous-350
pounds to- the square inch, which ia
equivalent to twenty-four atmospheres
and to resist this internal pressure
on the pipe the steel here is one and
one-quarter inches in thickness, the
rivets used in fastening the sections
together being seven inches long.

Alfalfa Wilt Has No Known
Remedy.

That no remedy is known for plants
attacked by alfalfa wilt, common
disease, is the conclusion of the Ore
gon Agricultural College experiment
station experts. On account of the
nature of the plants upon which the
disease lives, it is probable that no
practical remedy will be developed.
Where the disease has become serious,
the college advises rotation of crops.
The trouble seems more prevalent on
heavy soils, particularly where the
drainage is slow. Such soils should
be avoided by alfalfa growers.
Wilt, or stem rot, was first des-
cribed in Europe but has been found
in widely divided sections of this
country. Both New York and Cali
fornia have reported it as serious, and
recently it has been found to be COM
mon in Oregon also. 1t is most abund-
ant and spreads most rapidly in the
fall when the surface soil is constantly
wet. 1t is more serious, too, where
the stand of alfalfa is heavy. 1t at
tacks clover almost as seriously, and
it is thought it is probably one cause
of the difficulty in obtaining and hold
ing stand of either in wet climates.
Rot develops on the stems at the
surface of the ground, or some dis
tance above, causing wilt, and fire.
quently killing the plant. Large
areas may be found in fields where the
plants have been entirely killed out.
The roots are not always destroyed,
and may throw out new sprouts.
A white, cottony mold grows over
the surface of the stems and leaves
attacked by the rot, and the ground
around the base of the plant. In it
are developed abundantly black, irreg-
ular-shaped bodies of fungus tissue
called sclerotia, sometimes as large as
pea. They are also found inside the
stems of some of the plants killed.
The fungus is like that causing let
tuce to drop. 1t develops no summer
spores. Stalked fruiting bodies known
as apothecia develop from the sclero-
tia, commonly in the spring, but in
very wet climates in the fall.

Fattening Feed for Chickens
Explained.

In response to a query from Benja-
min j. Kirntier, of Corbett, Or, as to
what and how to feed chickens for
fattening, Prof. James Dryden, of the
poultry department of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college, replies:
"There are different rations that
can be fed successfully. In some dis
tricts corn is the main item, and in
others oats, barley or other grain.
The price of grain will govern the ra-
tion fed largely.
"There is no better fattening food,
probably, than good, plump, oats, fine
ground. Barley, ground up fine, is
also good as part of the ration. A
good ration would be ground oats, bar
ley and middlings in equal parts and a
little bran mixed with buttermilk or
sour milk.
eff one cannot get milk it will be
necessary to feed some animal meal or
beef scrap, or little blood meal.
About ten per cent of the weight of
the grain is the right proportion of
blood meal.
eff corn is as cheap as the other
grains, would feed corn literally.
The grain should be mixed with about
twice as much milk as of ground
grain, so that it will be very soft anc
drip from the end of a stick. Nc
green food is necessary.
"The chickens should be fed al
they will eat twice a day. At first
one should begin by feeding lightly,
but after two or three days they
should be given all they will eat up
twice day. Food should not be lef
standing before them, however.
"The chickens should be confined il
small pen or in fattening crates
where they will get no exercise. The.
will be quieter and do better in darl
pen. The feeding may be done b,
lamplight at night if that is more con
yenient."

Whltewash In Dairy Barn.

DR.. Marshall, a Pennsylvania Insti'
tute speaker, says that whitewashing
of dairy barns should be done for
the sake of general sanitation, but
the main point in the fight against
tuberculosis is the elimination of the
dark stables and filthy stall condi-
tions.
Where clean methods are used in
the keeping Of cows, he advises the
use of compound made from one
pound Of chloride of lime and five
gallons Of whitewash, which, when
put on the walls and stable partitions,
acts as an effective preventive of dis.
ease.

Cooperative Marketing Big Sue.
cess in Wisconsin.

Cooperative stores have been con-
Quoted successfully in Wisconsin for
the last 80 years, but only within two
years have they become at all numer-
Gus, under the excellent new law. At
present there are II successful CO.
operative stores with total member
ship now of about 1900, an authorized
capital stock of some $500, ZOO, and
cash capital actually paid in of around
$400, 1000. The stores employ $50
clerks and their volume of business for
1913 will exceed $1,5O8, 900, says
Farm and Home.
All goods are sold at the same
prices charged by other retailers. AT
ter setting aside interest at per cent
on capital, and suitable reserves, the
profits are rebated as dividends upon
purchases. Shareholders get full div
idend, which equals 5 to 10 per cent
saving, while non-members get only
half dividend or none. =
The early cooperative stores in
Wisconsin found hard shedding because
of the lack of cooperation spirit, linn
tied capital, the collapse of the early
organized farm and labor movement,
lack of business knowledge and prac-
tice among wholesale houses from
which the retail cooperative stores
could obtain their supplies.
All cooperative stores in America,
as in England, thrive best when they
adhere to the Rochdale principles.
1. Sell goods at current market
prices. This prevents friction with
other merchants. 1t avoids the "go
broke" error of selling at cost plus ex.
pense.
2. Begin small, grow slowly but
surely as experience points the way
and as the managers and members
learn to work together.
8. Cooperation is not new way Of
transacting business, but rather diff
ferent method Of dividing the fruits
of industry. The same principles that
govern success, when acquiring profit
in capitalistic enterprises, apply with
even greater force to the management
of cooperative effort.
