FARM 1ND 4l!' ORCHARD
Instructions Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
Specially Pacific Conditions
Business Methods for Farmers.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-A new book for teaching farm
business methods in the schools, both
rural and urban, has just been brought
from the press of the biggest publish
ing house in the country by Dean ].
A. Bexell, of the school of commerce
of the Oregon Agricultural College,
and F. G. Nichols, director of business
education in the department of public
instruction at Rochester, N. Y.
"In the mad rush for wealth and
power, we seem to have lost sight of
the true principles of economy" says
Mr.. Bexell, in his preface. Zone of
these principles is the art of keeping
accounts. One of the greatest author
tiles on bookkeeping says, The abil-
ity to pre-determine results by means
of accurate accounts and statistics is
the highest development of the mod
ern business man. That the farmer
needs to develop the same ability to
"pre-determine results" needs no ar
gument. Very few farmers of today
have a definite knowledge of their
business.
"This great need can best be met by
introducing bookkeeping and business
methods in both graded and ungraded
schools where there are boys and girls
who are looking forward to agricul-
ture as life work. We realize that
we are attempting pioneer work and
therefore lay no claim to perfection.
We hope we have to some extent, at
least, met the present need for text
book of this kind, and laid the founda-
tion for better work along this line in
the future.
"The forms and bookkeeping meth
DDS which they have used have stood
the test of extensive use and are put
forward with full confidence that they
will be found satisfactory for purposes
of instruction and equally satisfactory
for actual farm use."
The book, principles of Bookkeep-
ing and Farm Accounts" contains 1874
pages and is substantially bound for
school use in brown buckram. 1t in
cludes instruction in poultry accounts,
household accounts and every sort of
farm records, in forms most simple
and easily kept.

To keep vegetables fresh and crisp

A fatiron stand will be found useful

no fear of sticking or burning on hot

To clean steel ornaments OF rust

in emery powder. Polish them with a

securing good, reliable servants also.
They are happy, contented peo-
pie, however. There Is no social un'
rest in that country, for crops are
ripenening weekly, and they know that
If the crop this week fails that Of next

prodigality of nature and the climatic
conditions make the people less ener.

In Siam one sees none Of the greed

Although | have known Siam for
twelve years, theoretically, never

pressed by the thorough trustworthi
ness Of the Siamese, and it was the
only place where l saw no itching
palms. Not a native would accept
a tip for any service performed, but
they will soon get over this when
more tourists visit that country"
Motion pictures are plentiful In
Siam, said Doctor Gore, and are one
of the chief amusements of the peo-
pie.
Every inducement is offered to
young men to work themselves up"
Doctor Gore explained. 1T is the
most democratic country in the world
in regard to titles. Titles are not
handed down in Siam as they are in
many other countries, but diminish as
they go down. For instance, the son
of marquis would be only minis
ter. In a few generations the title
is lost entirely, unless the young men

A Few Good Rules
For the Sick Room

A few good rules for the ordering of
the sick room are given by Mrs. Alice
Marks Dolman, instructor in dietetics
and home nursing at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, in one of her recent
lectures.
Whatever the threatened or actual
disorder may be, there are two i'm
portant things to be done at the begin
ming" she said. "The first is to have
absolute rest and quietness for the pa
tient. The second is to keep the skin
clean, to keep the bed clean, to keep
the room clean, and to have plenty of
good, clean, fresh air for the patient
to breathe.
"Rest means something more than
just being in bed. 1t means freedom
from petty annoyances, from unex-
pected jolts or jars, from creaking
shoes or creaking chairs, or rattling
window, and from continued thinking
and planning out of things.
"In preparing room for patient,
give her the cheeriest room possible,
one that can be ventilated easily, and
one that is far enough from the kitch-
en- that she does not get the odor OF
cooking food.

the world where illiteracy is so rare.
One Of the duties of every young man
Is to serve certain length of time
in the priesthood, and in this connec-
ton they are supposed to teach the
children Of the neighborhood.
English is taught parallel with ST.
amese, due, believe. to their recog-
milton Of the universally of the Eng
lish language. l believe the most
beautiful English l ever heard was
spoken by the Siamese minister Of ag,
riculture. His pronunciation was
beautiful and his dictation was per-
feet.
Every school has director Of Eng
lish, and in teaching the lessons
charts are used on which are similar
sentences In Siamese and in English.
l saw children seven, eight, nine and
ten years old reading English, and
saw them writing 1t down from die
tation, and as yet l have not seen
them make one mistake. They are a
very bright people. One little girl
was told to point out on the map the
line Of travel would make in return

rect way of going to England, think
ing I was English because spoke the

ington. She Immediately pointed out
the proper way to get there"
slam Women Being Educated.
"Yes, there Is 'woman's forward
movement there" said Doctor Gore.
In response to question, but they
have no suffragettes. Great impetus
has been given to the education of
girls of that country by the fact that
the sisters and cousin of the king
have gone into the schools as teach
ers. Then, too, in all the school
rooms is a kings desk'-a desk do
mated by the king, at which the honor
pupil each month is allowed to sit.
"The Siamese people have cost Of
living problem and servant problem,
too," said Doctor Gore. They told
me the cost of living had increased
about thirty per cent. In the last six

Washington, who recently re-
turned from a trip abroad, during
which he covered $4,000 miles. In
that time Doctor Gore used several
kinds of conveyances, including rail
road trains, large steam vessels. steam
launches, automobiles. rickishaws,
camels and ponies.
Every railroad and steamship ticket
used on the trip was in Doctor Cores
possession before he left Washington,
and all other arrangements, including
the securing of hotel accommodations,
had been made. He had a schedule
which he followed, and SO free was
the entire journey from delays that he
returned to Washington within twelve
hours Of the time he had set five
months ago. He attributed this large
ly to good choice of seasons. The
wind was with him instead of against
him, he said
Doctor Gore spent most of his time
in Siam, where he was the guest Of
the late king, Maha Vajirabudh. The
public school system of this country,
known so little as yet to tourists, was
one Of the most interesting features
to Doctor Gore.

describing his trip, and plans for a
