EGG PREsERvATIvE is FOUND
California Educator Discovers Sub
stitute for Cold Storage.

University of California, Berkeley
Professor Jaffa, of the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Califor-
MIA, believes that he has found sue
cessful method of defeating the cold
storage egg and the price asked for it..
It is somewhat similar to the old-fash-
Toned method of sailing eggs.
The discoverer of the new fluid pre-
sentative announced to the fraternities
last year that he had found new and
successful method of preserving eggs
which left no taste and showed the
chemical composition Of the egg to I'M
dergo absolutely no change.
Under varying conditions some IL
dozen were canned" in December,
being placed in the new solution and
left to stand in the cellars. The first
week in May they we're raked out and
found to be fresh and having no taste
whatever, other than of eggs. The
various boarding clubs are going in
for the discovery on large scale.

tsHOw 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:
'sDo not be cross with the child !;
you cannot afford it. If you are Guilt
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. I
give plants upon which I am at work
in a test, whether a single one or a
hundred thousand, the best possible
environment. So should it be with a
child, if you want to develop it in
right ways. Let the children have
music, let them have pictures, let
them have laughter, let them have a
good time; not an idle time, but one
full of cheerful occupation. Surround
them with all the beautiful things you
can. Plants should be given sun and
air and blue sky; give them to your
boys and girls, / do not mean for a
day q. month, but for all the years.
We cannot treat plant tenderly one
day and harshly the next; they cannot
stand it. Remember that you are
not training for day only, but for all
the future, for all posterity. Michi-
gan Grange Bulletin.

TO CLEAN CAPITALS SLUMS
Wife of President Gets Big Job
Under Way.

Washington, D. C. = When bills
transforming Goat alley and Shows
court, two of Washington's worst
slums, into parks, are introduced in
congress this week, Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson will have accomplished more
toward eliminating poverty, vice and
disease in the capital than any other
Presidents wife has ever done.
Her recent stunning trip, on which
she was accompanied by Representa-
tives Kahn and Curley, are the reason
for the determination Of congress to
clean up Washington, whose alleys,
rookeries and ancient tenements vie
with the worst slums of New York.
Led by Mrs. Wilson a mass meeting of
Washington women will be held to
consider these conditions further.
Three thousand women, many of
them from the highest Washington
society, are expected to enroll under
the banner Mrs. Wilson has unfurled.
Society gasped at first; now it is
interested. Never before has Presi-
dents wife gone Summing.

JAP SITUATION STILL TENSE
Imputation of Racial Inferi0rity Is

Washington, D. C. - Tension over
the Japanese situation continues to
excite attention in official and diplo-
matte quarters, but there were no
specific developments at the White
House, the State department or the
Japanese embassy.
Nine of the 80 days Governor John

Fair Nipponese Of Seattle will Be
Thoroughly Americanized.
Seattle, Wash. Madame Butterfly
and Miss Purple Eyes are doomed. In
their place looms the new Japanese
woman of the club type, emancipated
and progressive, who promises soon to
reduce the little brown man to the
conventional submissive state of the
American husband.
Kimonas have been cast aside for
scant tailored suits; huge ornamented
hairpins are replaced by Partisan
model hats, and the wee little feet are
expanding in the roomy recesses OF
booties of approved English cut.
But most significant of all, there
has just been formed in Seattle a jan
anese Women's club.
This stride in civilization was taken
at meeting of 35 Japanese women in
the Y. w. C. A. rooms, at which the
following officers were elected: Mrs.
S. Yosioka, president; Miss Kigc
Nte, vice president; Miss Kusanna,
secretary, and K. Sakamoto, treas

London - Once more America will
defend the Americas cup. The classic
yachting race was assured for Sep
TENDER, 1914, when the New York
Yacht club Wednesday sent by cable
an acceptance of Sir Thomas Upton s
challenge.
The race will be sailed under the

Sir Thomas lost no time after the
receipt of the acceptance in laying
plans for building the finest challenger
he has ever sent across the Atlantic.
Even as yet he does not know whether
he will be allowed to tow the craft
across the ocean or not, but he says
this does not especially matter, as he
would want to tow the yacht only in
the event Of head wind, or a dead

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 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,
teaspoon of lard and enough flour to
make very soft dough.
Melt lard or other grease in a 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. It 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.

JAPANESE HOUSE Is OF GLASS
Correspondent Says Foreign Own
ership Is Barred in Nippon.

Berlin - The excitement of Japan
over the California alien land owner
ship is well founded and comprehen-
sive, according to an analysis Of the
Acknowledgements situation sent by
the Toxic correspondent of the Welt
corresponding Agency, printed in the
semi-official Norddeutsche Allegemeine
Zeitung. The Japansese, however, he
said are scarcely in position to place
difficulties in the way of California's
land plans.
The correspondent says the Japanese
are living in glass house because
foreigners are now barred from own
ing land in Japan-a feature of the
situation which has heretofore been
left unnoticed in Germany. The
writer expresses the opinion that
Japan will favor keeping aloof from
the Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, which he regards as
Japan's only weapon against the Unit
ed States.

THOUSANDS WILL EMIGRATE
Pioneer Steamship Man Says Rush
Will Follow Canal Opening.

Seattle, Wash. Items of thousands
of the most thrifty, intelligent and in
dustrious people Of Scandinavian coun-
tries are preparing to emigrate direct
ly to the Northwest and Puget Sound
when the Panama canal is opened, -
said Captain John L. Anderson, pio-
neer steamship man, who returned
Wednesday from three months bust
ness trip in Europe. Captain Ander-
son emphasized the fact that $4,000
900 had already been subscribed by
Swedish and other capitalists to es-
tablish direct line of modern steam
ships between Scandinavian ports and
Seattle via the Panama canal to handle
this traffic. He said it was impossible
to describe the enormous proportions
of the emigration movement of the
people of the north.

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. It 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

lance 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
a 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.

WAR" AEROPLANE yANIsHEs
whole Outfit, Including Bombs, Re
ported Safe in Mexico


Nogales, Ariz.-Th war aeroplane
which crossed into Mexico near Naco
tuesday night was the same flvino
machine confiscated by United States
Federal officials two weeks ago. The
machine has disappeared from ranch
between Tucson and this point. With
II disappeared Rueben Hopkins, a
United States deputy marshal Of Tue
son, who was left to guard the air
craft.
The machine, in sections, was taken
IN three automobiles south to the in
ternatlonal line and safely crossed in
daylight. With it went high-power
bombs OF the gravity contact type that
the insurgents expect to drop on the
federal gunboat Guerrero, which lies
IN Guaymas harbor, ready to assist the
garrison Of the town in defending the
only remaining point in Sonora state
held by the central government.
The flying apparatus and bombs for
aerial use went south on a special
train. The attack on Guaymas has
been postponed, it is explained, await
ing the aeroplane to offset the power
of the gunboat.
The disappearance of the aeroplane,
supposedly safe in the keeping of the
Federal officers, led to search for the
missing deputy marshal. 1t is assert
ed that he was kidnapped. The Mexi-
can customs collector of Nogales, So
nora, passed the incident with the re-
mark: cit cost us a lot of money,
but we got it."
The biplane was held two weeks
ago, when Didier Mason and his me-
chanic, Thos. Deane, began setting up
the machine at Pixies ranch, 20 miles
below Tucson. Mason and Deane es-
capped with some necessary parts of
the machine, and it was rumored that
still another aeroplane had been SNUG

Fattening Feed for Chickens
Explained.

In response to 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 RAJ
ton 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 a little blood meal.
About ten per cent Of the weight of
the grain is the right proportion of
blood meal.
IF 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 and
drip from the end of stick. No
green food is necessary.
"The chickens should be fed all
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 left
standing before them, however.
"The chickens should be confined in
a small pen or in fattening crates
where they will get no exercise. They
will be quieter and do better in dark
pen. The feeding may be done by
lamplight at night if that is more con-
venient.

n tbe official register, where all pas

weights before beginning a trip, he
tOok his seat by Mr.. Towers.
Lieutenant Towers kept his craft on
the water for about an eighth of
mile and then sailed gradually upward
and toward the mouth of Severn river
and the Chesapeake bay.
After abut two miles of steady
climbing in this direction a turn was
made and the flying boat passed over
the camp at a height of about 500
feet. As he sailed over, Mr.. Daniels
waved his hand to the crowd below.
A straight flight up the river of about
four miles was made, and then Lieu
tenant Towers turned for the trip back
and downward, landing just in front of
the point from which the start was
made.
When he had landed, the secretary
talked of his sensations, and men
toned the fact that by flying, after
having taken a dive in a submarine
boat at Norfolk recently, he had gone
down and up with the navy.
