the Pullman until seven o'clock.

pitched Worcester into first place in

That night the boys planned their
first job on the Rubc. We had or
dered a special Pullman for travel to
Toronto. and when got to the depot
in the morning, the Pullman was
white futtering mass OF satin rib

and showers of rice like hail battered
everywhere. A somewhat dishevelled
bride and groom boarded the Pullman
and breathlessly hid in a state room.
The train started, and the crowd
gave one last rousing cheer. Old
Spears yelled from the back plat

"Fellers, an fans, you needn't

Spears was singing when he got so
far and there was no telling what he
might have done if Mullaney, unable
to stand the agony, had not jabbed
a pin in him. But that only made way
for the efforts of the other boys, each
one of whom tried to Guido the last
in poking fun at the RUDE and Nan.
The big pitcher was too gloriously
happy to note much of what went on
around him, but when it dawned upon
him he grew red and white by turns.
Nan, however. was more than equal
to the occasion. Presently she smiled
at Spears, such a smile! The captain
looked as if he had just partaken of
an Intoxicating wine. With a height
ened color in her cheeks and dam
perous fash in her roguish eyes, Nan
favored Mccall with a look, which
was as much as to say that she re-
membered him with a dear sadness.

Care of Potted Plants
During Winter Season

" COMPOST that suits the require
~ ments of house plants when re-
potted for the Winter is made of one
measure of loan soil, one-half meas
ure of sand, and n measure each Of
well-rotted manure and leaf mold.
This formula is recommended by
David Masterton, superintendent of
the Oregon Agricultural College
green houses, who supplies additional
information on the Winter care of
potted plants as follows:
"A very prevalent mistake in car
ing for house plants in Winter is to
give them an Over-supply OF water.
AS a rule water should be used SPAR
ingly so as to admit plenty of air to
the soil, or the plant will be retarded
in its growth instead of benefited.
The individual requirements of each
species ought to be studied closely.
In this region where the air Is
quite dense with moisture during the
Winter months, evaporation from the
leaves of plants takes place slowly.
Where there is a dry atmosphere to
be taken into account as is the case
In a heated room in Winter, 1t is adj
visable to sponge the plants or spray
with an atomizer frequently. This
not only increases the humidity of the
air but keeps open the breathing
pores of the plant, which is neces-
sary for normal growth.
"A temperature above GO degrees
in the house is adverse to the best
development Of most plants and II is
better to put them in a room which
is OF very moderate temperature. In
the college greenhouses the Winter
temperatures are kept at an average
of SO to 60 degrees, and even lower
for such plants as cineranas.
IF it becomes necessary to use an
insecticide, a good one a be made
with Ivory soap, dissolving one pound
of SOAP in five to eve gallons of
warm water. For scale insects q
stronger solution will be required and
the plants should be rinsed after
ward In clear water"

Report Hog Cholera.

Failure to report hog cholera has
caused one Oregon owner the loss of
a hundred head of hogs by this dis
ease. Other hog growers have hauled
the carcasses of hogs that died OF
cholera to the woodlot, where they
are picked by crows, magpies and
other s~cavengers, and bits of the in
fected flesh carried to other farms.
Dogs have also acted as carriers Of
the disease, and doubtless drainage
waters have assisted in scattering the
germs, All these cases should have
been reported to the county agricul-
tural agent, says H. T. French, state
leader of county agent work, and he
would have had the infected carcasses
burned, thus preventing the spread.
All swine ailments should be re-
ported, since possibly they may have
been caused by cholera germs. Moth
ing is gained by the individual farm
er by keeping the facts secret, and
great harm is done both to himself
and to his neighbors.

Better Dairy Stock Sought.

"Of all things accomplished in this
county this year I believe the cam
paign for better breeding OF dairy
stock will have the most beneficial
effects" says Roy G.. Jones, county
agriculturist Of Tillamook County.
Although the county has not been
turned upside-down, 1t is certain that
much good has been done. Several
men who have heretofore used scrub
bulls, are now planning to buy reg
istered bulls for next seasons work,
and several other men who have been
using purebred sires, are discarding
their old ones and looking for better
ones. The most enthusiastic breeders
of the county have joined in organic
ing county breeders associations OF
both Holsteins and Jerseys. The
Holstein men have already raised the
money to buy a carload of first-class
registered bulls and heifers to bring
to this county, as foundation stock for
pure-bred herds"

Storing Winter Onions
Found of Great Value

UN EXT in Importance to good soil
~ and growing conditions in
onion growing is a suitable place for
storage" says Professor A. G. Bou-
quet, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege vegetable gardening department
in speaking of the onion industry in
the Willamette Valley. From n
to two dollars per bushel is cleared
each year on onions that are proper
ly stored. An onion crop of from
500 to 500 acres is stored on average
years by the Valley growers. The.
price of onions ranges from $1.10 in
September, $3.50 to So or 81 in
March. The cost of storage is from
5 to s cents per bushel. 1t is thus
seen that profits are more than dou-
bled by successful Winter storage.
Most of the onion crop of this sec
ton is stored in Washington County
In the vicinities of Beaverton, Hills
boro and Sherwood. Storage houses
are see on nearly every onion farm.
These houses have special construc-
tion. They are constructed with dou-
Bile hollow walls and are ventilated
by open v%entilators at the ground
line with openings at the roof from
which warm air escapes, thus pro-
viding a splendid circulation of air.
The temperature is kept somewhere
between 80 and 40 degrees Fahren-
heit.
1T is very necessary that the
onions go into storage well cured and
thoroughly dry. They are piled on
racks in storage houses usually to a
height OF ten to twelve inches on each
rack. Should the onions become froz-
en- in the storage they still may pos
sibly be uninjured if not handled and
allowed to thaw out slowly. Alter
nate freezing and thawing, however,
will ruin the bulbs"

Oregon data on that subject. A great
deal of investigational work in utiliz-
ing by-products has been done by the
College horticultural department and
a good deal of valuable data has been
gathered.

Required Farm Tools.

Farmers, being more or less iso-
lated and dependent on their own re-
sources, should find a skilful use Of
the ordinary woodworking tools Of
great service, say the Oregon Agri-
cultural College Industrial arts au-
thorities. Ordinary carpentry work,
such as making gates, woodsheds and
chicken coops, does not call for a
large kit of TOOLS" says Professor
Thayer. "But those secured should
be of the best kinds available. A
cross-cut and a rip saw, a large and
a small plane, a square, marking
gauge, hammer, screw-driver, brace
and bits, with two or more chisels
and a drawknife, should answer very
WELL"

Home Beautiful ON the Farm.

The home on the farm without a
tree or bush or flower is like a mar
without a soul. The house is there,
but much of the enjoyment Of coun-
try life is lacking. Every farmer in
the State of Oregon should be inter
ested in landscape gardening. There
is nothing that indicates prosperity
better. Our farmers might well af-
ford to give this subject more atten-
ton, and the special series Of lectures
on this vital subject to be given dur
ing the Winter short course at Oregon
Agricultural College will therefore
bring it to their notice. Problems
connected with the laying out of
grounds, arrangement Of buildings,
construction of walks and roads, the
planting of trees and shrubbery, ETC.,
will be taken up. Special lists of
trees and shrubbery will be suggested
for each section Of the state.

Printing is, as l see it, n of the

Agricultural College. II should try
to install small printing plants in
each school in which manual training
is taught. The art Of printing comes
into closer touch with all other sub
jects of the course of study than any
other subject of industrial education.

Number of Graduates
Show College Growth

n increase in the number of grad
~ yates from III in 1914 to APP
proximately 231 in 1915, indicates
%measurably we'll the growth OF the
Agricultural College during the last
10 years. The graduating class OF
1905 numbered just SO, since which
time the increase has been about 4o0
per cent. The class of 1907, the last
preceding President Kerr's admins
tration, was Sc strong, the increase
since being about $50 per cent.
This growth has affected every de-
partment. There are II candidates
for postgraduate degrees this year
as against three last, 210 for the
bachelors degree as against 1853 last
year, seven for pharmacy certificates
as against three last year, and three
for music diplomas as against six last
year.
This increase has been secured In
the face of a rise Of standards
amounting within that time to three

Using of Crop Remnants
as Organic Soil Matter

XATHILE such crop remnants as
w stubble, corn stover and spoiled
hay should be returned to the soil
when not otherwise used on the farm,
there are other forms of these rem
nants that should never be put to
this use. Screenings from seed-clean-
ings, as we'll as potato, celery and
onion tops, should be burned In order
to prevent the spread of weed, in
sect and disease pests, according to
authorities of the Oregon Agricultural
College.
The problem Of utilizing to best ad-
vantage the unused portions Of crops
in maintaining soil fertility without
at the same time scattering weeds,
insects and plant diseases, was pre-
sented to Professor w. L. Powers, as
sistant agronomist, who proposes ro-
tation as a solution. Clover, vetch
or peas may be grown on a plot one
year, followed by a grain crop
the next. Then corn, potatoes Or
other cultivated crops can be grown,
and at the last cultivation clover or
vetch sowed. This may be turned
under the next year, adding soil fer
tility to the value Of $40 for each
ton of clover and So for each ton of
vetch. All unused portions of the
crops with the exception of potatoes.
can be turned under with NO danger
of spreading disease, since no disease
will live in so many kinds of crops.
80 far as spreading disease Is con-
cerned," said Professor Bailey, OF the
plant pathology department, STRAW
and corr slower are harmless, but po-
tato tops, clery tops and onion tops
should be removed from the field and
burned when long period rotation Is
practiced. Diseases such as blight
and leaf spot may be spread in the
remnants and their fertility value Is
not great enough to warrant their
use as fertilizers with. all the danger
involved"
