n FLYING trip was made into the
John Day country early in April
BY members Of the Agricultural College
Extension staff. The party was COM
posed of E. B. Fits, livestock and
dairyman, John E. Larson, agronomist,
and Mrs. Lulie Robbins, domestic
science worker. Meetings were held
day and evening at Prairie City and
Mt. Vernon, many farmers and house
wives attending. Interest in the work
is said to have been good and will
doubtless lead to more extended work
in the future.
cit was my first trip into Grant
County," said Professor Fits, "and
l was well pleased with its many fine
attractions. 1t is q beautiful valley
with fertile well-watered soil and q
climate well suited to livestock and
fruit growing, dairying and general
farming. With the abundant supply
Of dairy cattle feed and the good de-
mand for dairy products, dairying may
well be made great industry"
The members Of the party enjoyed
the visit and believe that some good
was accomplished. They would all be
pleased to receive assignments fol
further work in the John Day.

STUDENT MANAGER OF STATE
POULTRY FARM.

nHESTER WILCOX, senior in the
~ Agricultural College Poultry De-
partment, has been appointed manager
of the poultry plant at the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Salem. His
work in school and at the poultry plant
among the fowls has qualified him well
for his ne wduties. He was one Of the
leading members Of his class and re-
ceived honorable mention for his work
this year.
There are heavy responsibilities con-
nected with the position, and in meas.
ure the efficiency Of the poultry de.
partment will be considered in connec-
tion with the degree of success the
young student attains. 1t has been the
practice of the State Hospital to place
scientifically trained men from the
Agricultural College in charge Of de
partment work, especially as managers
of the horticultural branch. These mer
have invariably made good, and Sc
paved the way to similar employment
for future graduates. Mr.. Wilcox lef

new duties.

WoLL NOT THE HANDLE FOR
LIFTING SHEEP.
O MOST farm hands the wool
seems to be natural handle


Il seems to be natural handle
for lifting the sheep" says Q.
NJ. Nelson, specialist in sheep raising
at the Agricultural College. "By i'll
sheep are caught, dragged and lifted
from place to place. This leaves al
bruised and inflamed area, az may be
seen by examining the flesh Of sheep
treated in this way previous to slaugh-
ter. A sheep is gentle and timid ami
NAL and the inhuman treatment often
given them on the farm is awful. 1t
decreases the profits and sometimes
causes an actual loss.
"The sheep is first driven with
others into the corral where it may be
caught without frightening the flock.
It may then be caught by the neck,
flank or hind leg above the hook, and
moved by standing to the left Of it,
placing the left hand under the jaw,
the right hand on the dock and gently
pressing.
"To lift the sheep, stand at the rear
and little to the right. Grasp the
right fore leg close to the brisket and
gently raise the fore part from the
ground. Then seize the left hind leg
at the hook and lift the sheep up. This
method prevents struggling and injury
to the sheep.
"It is easy to make light sheep sit
up. Heavy sheep may be made to sit
by placing the left arm around the
front Of the animal, reaching under its
body and grasping the right leg at the
hook and gently drawing the leg toward
you while pushing with the breast
against the sleeps body. To get it or
its feet again, merely push 1t forward
and let it CO."

Extension Hoftieultnrist Of the Agri

mon and farmers attended these outdoor
school lessons and engaged in the prac-
tice of pruning under the instructions
of the expert in charge. These men
are among the states most successful
orchardlsts, giving much care to the
growing Of fruit. In some instances
over pruning and over cultivation have
been given their orchards, leading to a
delayed bearing period. A demonstra-
ton in summer pruning has been ar
ranged for at their request.

ExTENSIVE CUT-FLOWER
INDUSTRIES OF OREGON.

r TOGETHER there are about
- 100000 square feet under
glass in Oregon devoted to
growing plants for the flower trade"
says A. NJ. Woodman in the Oregon
Countryman. "One Portland firm
specializing in roses and carnations has
% greenhouses representing 100000
square feet Of glass. Another in the
same city specializing in the same
plants has 100000. Another, grow
ing ferns, palms and flowers, has co.
900 and is putting up 100000 more.
"The enormous demand for products
Of this industry are due to several
causes. A good many flowers cannot
be grown in fields SO successfully as
in green houses. A class Of moneyed
people has lately sprung up on the
Coast, immigrants, tourists and pros
porous business men, creating a de.
mand for these luxuries. They spend
thousands Of dollars decorating theil
mansions for brilliant functions, and
this means trade and money for the
florist.
"The different plants and flowers
are divided as follows: Carnations

WATER FOR DAIRY COWS.
n ATER requirements Of the dairy
cow are not always given the at
tention they ought to receive. Aside
from the large amount of water used in
milk production cows will drink about
60 to 80 gallons day if they are given
that amount Of fresh, clean water. Some
Of the world Is record cows have drunk
as much as 27O gallons day. Since
milk has a large percentage Of water in
lit large quantities Of water are re-
quired to produce the milk. Not only
that, but high milk production demands
the digestion and assimilation OF q
great deal of nourishment, and water
is needed in large quantities for these
purposes. The best water is from
springs or deep wells, says W. A. Barr,
10. A. G. and Federal dairy agent.
Ponds receiving drainage are especial
lily bad, because they contain disease
germs and because the water is not
relished SO that the COW really drinks
all she needs.

Some Commercial Spies.

From Answer.
Spying is as prevalent in the CONNER
cial as in the political world. though the
existence of these commercial spies is
not nearly so well known.
There are certain classes of manufac-
turers, however who habitually employ
a regiment of spies-competent men,
whose business it is to go to other lands
and spy out the new enterprises and in
ventions being made by the various trad
ers Individual methods adopted vary
very greatly. and are often so subtle as
to make it difficult to tackle them.
Very often designers in big pot banks.
brass foundries and other manufactures
are approached by agents of unscrupu-
lous foreign firms and offered big money
for copies of the new designs of their
firm.
Again, a very large number OF young
men are sent to England from the CONT
nent every year. ostensibly to learn the
English language and British business
methods but in reality to keep their
continental employers well informed OF
what is going on in our trade centers
This spying has been existent now Tor
many years, and it has serious effect
upon the commerce of the whole world

What manners had the early Veterans
beheld in their youth? In 1910. a young
lady in New York's best society refused
to spend the winter in New York be-

wear a large miniature of the young
gentleman around her neck and endure
coarse and embarrassing jokes whenever
she appeared. Gen. Washington may be
seen, in the pencil sketches by John
Trumbull. comfortably sitting in church
with his arm around a young ladys
waist, nor was she kith or kin to him.

of George w, infer carefully what the
manners and conversations must then

From the London Chronicle.
Men of fashion must have felt ex-
auisitely uncomfortable in the days of
beaver hats weighing ten times as much
as the heaviest hats of today. Sir Alger-
non West remembers wearing. about
1850 "a pair of dove-colored trousers
with two fiuted stripes down the sides
and buttoned under the foot with broad
stripes of the same material; Wellington
boots. which were sine qua non with a
man OF fashion in those days; and a
coat so high in the collar that the back
of the hat rested on it. Indeed, every
hat had a crescent of cloth on the back
of the brim to prevent the rubbing of the

hat was made. for silk hats were not
