"For lettuce seed select plants that
make big leaf growth and that are
of the desired type and variety. Gather
the seed as soon as the seed pods be-
gin to open. Keep birds away. Put the
seed stems in a sack, and fail or rub
out the seed. By careful tanning, OF
pouring in the wind, the seed may be
cleaned of chaff.

Sprouting Oats for Hens
By ]. H. Tolson Of Petalu1na California

A HAVE read with considerable in
terest number of articles on
sprouting oats, and have tried sew
eral Of the methods out Finally I
struck on a plan of my own which
answers the purpose so well that ! con
cluded to write it up and let you have
it, as it nay help some.
My sprouter consists Of a cabinet six
feet high, and the oat trays slide in
on cleats. The trays are two feet wide
and two feet six inches long, with
four.inch sides. The bottoms of the
trays are perforated to insure good
drainage. The trays are made of half
inch redwood, with three-inch piece
nailed flat on the bottom of each end,
making a smooth surface to slide on,
and when made up resemble green

house trays. The whole thing looks
very much like proven such as bak-
ers use for proving bread in, only it
has no door. My idea at first was to
put glass doors on and use lamp for
heating during the winter months, but
here in California l found it not neces-
sary. The sprouter stands in my feed
room, where it gets little light and no
sunshine.
My process is as follows: I place
twelve quarts of dry oats in a fifty
pound lard bucket which ! got from a
grocer for 25 cents, and put sixteen
quarts or more of water on them and
leave them soak for twenty-four hours.
! then carry them outside and dump
them into box that has sufficient
holes in it to insure good drainage

necessary not to allow any deteriora-
tion in the plants grown from the home
selected seed. Therefore the plants Sc
lected for seed should have the stand
ard characteristics and be true to type.
Only plants that are healthy, strong,
vigorous, true to type and of the vari-
ETY. best suited to the market should
be selected for seed.
Saving Seeds.
"In saving tomato seed choose the
plant that has borne the largest num-
ber of early tomatoes of suitable size,
color and quality. Select from this plant
the medium to large specimens of fruit.
A single good plant should yield about
30 to 40 fruits. Mark the plant 80 that
the fruit will not be unintentionally
picked, and then leave the fruit until
it is well ripened. Then pick the suit
able fruit and leave it in basket or
barrel until it is dead ripe. Halve the
fruit and squeeze the seed pockets into
tub. Cover with good clean water,
when the seed pulp will ferment in Is
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-15
Examine Carefully.

"Beans are most easily saved when
well cured and thoroughly dried. II
there is danger Of frost while the vines
arc still green they should be pulled
and piled in windrows to cure and dry
as quickly as possible. They can be
removed to q dry house if the weather
is unfavorable for curing out doors
The seed should be carefully examined
and all seeds deviating from the type
desired should be rogued out.
"Some splendid acclimated corn has
been privately grown in Oregon. Home
gardeners and farmers can easily save
their own seed by careful selection Of
ears from plants that produce the earli
est and best specimens. Acclimatization
is a big factor in the production Of
early corn. II can be worked with
profit for many years with good re-
suits. Keep the selected seed suspend
ed away from rodents. ~

and allow them twenty four hoursr Ior
draining. This box will become Shiny
and should be washed out every few
days as required. A fifty-pound butter
box answers this purpose fine. I then
carry them in and dump them into No.
1 tray and place them in the cabinet
on the top cleats.
The following day the tray is low
cred to the second cleats and tho oats
are sprinkled first, then stirred. For
the two days following I do the same,
lowering the trays each day. On the
fourth day, after sprinkling and stir
ring, 1 cover the oats with an empty
sack and wet it good. The fifth day I
remove the sack and stir the oats, re-
place the sack and wet it good. On
the sixth day sprinkle the sack, but
do not stir the oats. On the seventh
day the sprouts will be two inches
long, nice strong, tender, juicy ones,
and the oats will be matted with nice
tender roots.
The hens sure relish them. I use
three quarts of dry oats for each 100
hens, and the twelve quarts will make
thrty-six quarts of feed. l had diff
Guilty in getting the oats to sprout at
all, but on inquiry found that the oats
was getting were not sprouting oats.
Since then 1 have been supplied with
the proper kind and have no trouble.
By using the one box for draining
and keeping it clean I have had no
trouble with moldy oats.
By following the above it just takes
nine days from the time you start the
oats to soak until you can feed, and
it only takes ten minutes each day
to attend the sprouts.

THE DANGER IN WOOL ALCOHOL

THE UAN66h LIN WOO1 ALSOuOA
THE IDEA that something "just as
good" is as good as something else
is responsible for many fatal mis-
takes. Substitution is the bane Of the
present day, and was the chief reason
for the enactment Of the national pure
food and drug law. One of the worst
deceptions practiced has been in the
substitution of wood alcohol for the
pure grain alcohol. The latter is safe
to use in medicines and about the body,
and when it is necessary to prevent de-
composition, but the former is viru'
lent poison, and yet experience has
shown that there are people unscrupu-
lous enough to substitute the one for
the other just because there is more
profit in using the wood alcohol. The
inferior article has its uses in the
trades, but not in anything that is
likely to come in contact with the per
SON.
A recent report showed that more
than sixty deaths and cases Of blind
ness have been caused by wood alco-
hol since January in New York alone.
Investigation has revealed that Of the
thousand firms engaged in the manu-
facture Of BARRIERS supplies 90 per cent
are using wood alcohol, and yet as
these preparations come in contact with
the face or the fumes of the alcohol
penetrate the eyes serious damage is
likely to result, with possible blind
ness. 1t has been found in some cor
dials, and is common ingredient in
varnish, particularly dangerous use
for it. To drink the stuff is to die.
To inhale it is to cause blindness
through injury to the optic nerve. Ex-
cept when wood alcohol, or its substi-
tute, denaturcd alcohol, is needed for
mechanical purposes or for lamps where
it can be used with as good advantage
as the grain alcohol, it is well to keep
away from it. Better be safe at all
times.

age due to the interruption by war of

there are several vegetables, such as
celery, eauliflower and other biennials

DUEL WITH A TARGET.

FHE DUELING target is ono Of the
new games for children recently
introduced in France. 1t is really
duel between a marksman and a
spring target, for every time the play
er hits the target it throws a rubber
ball at him. The weapon used by the
marksman is small spring pistol
which fires soft-headed darts and has
a wire basket fitted upon the muzzle
for catching the returning ball. Be-
hind the target there is a spring arm
which is released when a dart strikes
the bull 's-eye and throws ball in a
long sweeping curve towards the play
er. The game is to fire at the target,
hit the bull's-eyo and catch the ball
in the wire basket on the end of the
pistol.

Oregon Committee Gives
Report on Cities
MERCHANTS TO VOTE DRY

BY ORION E. GOODWIN,
Publicity Department, Committee Of One
Hundred.
The Committee of One
Hundred, composed entirely
Of prominent Oregon men
and women, has made q care
full investigation Of every
dry town in Oregon.
The result has shown that
business is far better in
every dry town as a whole;
that collections and morals
are unquestionably better;
that civic improvement has
been much increased; that
building generally is much
greater and that sentiment
is now overwhelmingly in
favor Of a dry town.
There is no town in Oregon now d1y
that will vote wet. This can BEL ~stxtsd
without fear Of contradiction.

In Ashland it was found impossible to

Pendleton, though wet now, was

shown far better conditions dry than
when wet, and they asserted the town
would, in all probability, vote dry, but
that Umatilla County most certainly
would vote dry.
Dry Towns Collections Better.
Dry sentiment was unusually strong
in Medford because Medford merchants
have noticed the enormous amount Of
business done and tho fact that col
lections are better in dry towns.
Albany was overwhelmingly dry
mainly for business reasons.
In the whole Willamette Valley there
was hardly noticeable any wet senti.
ment Of great weight. Merchants and
residents declared the hop argument
had failed because it was realized that

outside Oregon, and Oregon wet Oh

gon hop crop at all.
Hop Pickers Want Dry State.
For the same reason, hop pickers
realized their jobs were in no danger,
and by far majority Of hop picksrs
favored Oregon dry because they knew
dry state would bring better condi.
tions in the hop fields by banishing
liquor and drunkenness from them.
At least half dozen prominent hop
growers came out openly in favor Of
Oregon dry.
Because Of better business, lower
taxes and better collections it now
seems certain the merchants of Oregon
will vote the state dry.

Mr.. Smoot Not Fair.

If the sluggishness of business at

Uncle Sam Pays the Freight

C.sE Omps, leading merchant and
post at Unger's w. Va who
sells everything from pickles and post
age amps to crepe de chine and mus
IL idds time 10 play game Of
checkers once in while besides, has
made new record in postal matters.
Postmaster Omps, Tuesday shipped
four barrels of flour from his store to
j. S. Sagers, grocer, by parcel post,
without it costing him cent, although
the parcel post charges according to
the schedule "doped on" by Con
gresham David J. Lewis, should have
been Sill SO.
E Omps is four th-class postmaster
and the only salary the government
pays him is face value for all stamps
cancelled through his office. Hereto
fore Postmaster Omps, when business
was good, averaged about four or five
cents day. Tuesday he sold himself
SLIGO worth of parcel post stamps
which he put on 81 sacks of flour and
then cancelled them through his post
office. The government will pay Omps
just Sill SO back as salary on the trans
action.
Omps could have shipped the flour by
freight for So "a. but he is just this
amount in by the deal and had his -four
carried on B. & O. passenger train No.
IS. In changing the 80 sacks at Han
cock from the main line of the E. & O.
No. IS was delayed ten minutes. The
flour was sent 18 miles by train and
then hauled by a perspiring R. F. D.
carrier eight miles to Sager's store.
Postmaster Omps not only saved him
self money. but made what is probably
new record for a days business in q
fourth-class postoffice. If he keeps
this up he may cause himself to be
promoted to better job by the gov
eminent. When the amount of bust
ness done by fourth-class Office re-
turns in salary as large an amount as
third-class postmasters are paid, the
postoffice is advanced to the latter
class. and according to Tuesdays bus
Einess Unger's pustoffice is paying its
postmaster $11. SO day.
