PURITY OF FARM WATER OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE.

nzHE FARM WATER supply is one
of the most important factors IN
the general health of the family,
writes r. D. Beckwith, professor OF
bacteriology at the Oregon Agrlcui-
tural College. The supplies of the city
are usually purer than those OF the
farm because they are better guarded
from disease producing bacteria rer-
sons who drink infected water are like
Ilv to contract the particular disease
caused by the kinds of germs present
in the water. Hence the need OF Keep
ing the water pure.
Water is never impure however 50
far as the bacterial content is concern
cd. unless there is some source OF con.
taminatiop. Most diseases are caused
by some form 0. germ, and the germs
never generate spontaneously. II prop
or provision against this contamlna-
.tion is provided by some effective
means the health of the family will Do

Deep wells pass through an lmpersr
ous layer of rock or soil and tap

Of the well below the surface OF the
ground. Ii the deep well, which IS
supplied with water that has traveieo
considerable distance, is well eased up
so that there is no surface percolation,
the water will generally be quite pure
since it has been filtered through
many miles of soil. The water in shall
low wells is quite likely to be con-
taminated with the kind OF disease

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN.

xIOT ONLY does the School of Home
IN Economics of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College offer opportunities
for the young women of Oregon, but
in almost every department in the in
stitution something will be found of
interest to women The School of Com
merce gives splendid training in stenog-
raphy and typewriting, in bookkeeping
and business methods, including ae-
counting and office methods, and every
year many young women are found pur-
suing this line of study.
The department of Industrial Peda-
gogy, training teachers especially for
supervising and teaching the industrial
subjects now rapidly taking their
places in the public schools, offers at
tractive and thoroughly efficient work
for students who are ambitious to help
in the leadership of industrial educa-
tion throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The call of outdoor life is being in
creasinglg felt by women, and as a
consequence the various courses in the
School of Agriculture, especially GER
tain phases of horticulture, poultry
husbandry, and dairying, are attracting
women who are broad minded and pro
gressive. Pharmacy, requiring, as II
does, neatness and accuracy, IS espe
cially suitable for women, and many
have found that this course, immediate
ly following its completion, leads to de
sirable positions. A fine feeling OF
fellowship exists between all the girls
in college regardless of the course In
which they are enrolled, and all are
alike interested in student activities.
The Oregon Agricultural College, II
short, is coeducational in the larges
sense of the word. Women on thu
faculty and women as students tIn'
here no limitations upon the larges
exercise of their talents and their in
dividuality.

drying character. The rainfall for

RAINFALL IN VALLEY HEAVIER
THAN NORMAL.

NOTWITHSTANDING the general
impression that this has been the
drlest year the valley has known
for many years, the actual rainfall is
1s inches in excess of the normal,
according to weather reports made by
Professor w. L. Powers, of the Agrl-
cultural College. The usual weather
conditions are due to causes other than
rainfall according to this report, be-
ing chiefly matter of temperature.
with the exception of June, every
month of the present year has been
considerably warmer than normal, and
the excess temperature for the first
seven months is 1873 degrees.

SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTES.

n SERIES of nine very successful

concluded in Klamath County by
a group of specialists from the Agri-
cultural College. The institutes we're
held under the auspices of A. E. Lovett,
county agriculturist, with instruction
and demonstration by J. E. Larson in
agronomy, Ralph Reynolds in animal
husbandry and A. L. Lovett in insect
crop pests More than 900 farmers at
tended one or more sessions of these
institutes, and the field demonstrations
that were made proved to be OF great
interest and value to the farmers. The

GETTING FRUIT READY FOR DIS
PLAY AT FAIRS.

RUIT SHOULD be exhibited at
fairs strictly by classes, was the
reply of Professor c. I. Lewis as
to how best prepare the fruit for show.
All plates of Spitzenbergs, Yellow New
towns and all other varieties entered
for a premium should be grouped to-
gethcr in one part of the show. EX-
hibjtors should be careful to secure
copies of the regulations under which
the fruit they enter will be displayed,
and then as carefully follow them.
The aim of the fair as well as that
Of the exhibitor should be quality, and
not quantity A small fair of high
class produce well arranged is more
ereditable and has more educational
value than much larger far of poor
" arranged mediocre exhibits. 1t VIII
also arouse more community pride and
inspire more effort to excel.
| Apples and pears should be exhibit
ed in plates of five--no more and no
less. 1t would be well to take more
han five to the fair so that in ease
one of the exhibition specimens Is
damaged it can readily be replaced. VI
peaches and plums more than five
snecimens are allowed, but not more
than twelve should be put into one ex
hibit.
In choosing the fruit bear in mind
uniformity, free from blemish, size anc
color. Don t pick the biggest fruit OF
the tree. 1t is very likely to have
skin imperfection and poor color, ans
to be not Of the best market value
Five specimens Of uniform type vii
have higher rating than four medl
um specimens with one abnormal,
large or small. Get fruit as nearl,

EGG RECORD STANDS.

noultrv journal few months ago in
sneaRing of the record of 303 eggs in
a wear made by the O. A. c. hen C52l.
From reports of the two laying compe-
titions at the Missouri and Connect

the record may not be beaten this

record equaling the Oregon hen and
it hardly seems possible now that any
of them can overtake her.
