PERTINENT PREPAREDNESS FOR

The incubator is always ready, if its
attendant makes it ready. Clean it
disinfect it, locate it in clean place
where the temperature will vary the
least during the day. Level it with q
spirit level. Run it couple of days
before the eggs are put in.
Test the incubator thermometer. An
accurate thermometer is necessary fol
good results.
Give due consideration to moisture
and ventilation. They are essential tc
good matches of good chicks.
Give the lamp attention daily. 1t is
important that it work perfectly.
Don t keep the Matching eggs in the
kitchen or on the pantry shelf. Eighty
five or ninety degrees for short time
will ruin them.
1t is usually not advisable to turn
or cool the eggs after the 18th day
One hundred and two degrees F. is 9
good temperature for the first week
lO3 degrees F. the last two weeks.

STREETS BEING FILLED.

The work that was started last fall
and through bad weather had to be
stopped was taken up Friday and will
no doubt be pushed along until the two
main blocks of the town will be in good
condition for the finishing coat of
whatever material it is decided to place
over the filling that has been already
put into the street. Among a great
many who had not seen this material
used, it was thought that when the
spring storms came the streets would
be nothing more than mud hole, but
this has been far from the case, as
where this was placed last fell, was the
only dry place that there were in any
of the streets and it is good that this
is so, as there is a mountain of the
material close and can be hauled and
dumped in with very small cost. The
men who have placed thier shoulders to
this, in the face of considerable opposi-
ton, are to be congratulated on the
success they are making.-Kooskia

THE CARE OF PIGS.

Feed the SOW light after narrowing
to prevent over-production of milk and
congestion in the udder, as it will cause
serious results to the young pigs. As
the pigs grow and need more milk, the
sow will take more feed.
Do not make any sudden change of
feed with SOW at any time or it is
liable to cause digestion troubles.
Do not allow wet bedding to remain
nor permit draughts ON the young pigs
Have plenty of sunlight and exercise
for the young pigs whenever the wealth
er permits.
The hog house should be warm, dry
well ventilated, free from draught, and
arranged to permit the greatest amount
of sunshine. The straw shed for hogs
is almose certain to be either damp OF
dusty. Either condition is bad and in
vites troubles.
Serum and sanitation make the best
preparation for the warfare against
hog cholera.
Keep cholera hogs and carcasses
away from the stream and insist thai
your neighbors do the same. :.
Lice, worms, and unsanitary condl
tions invite trouble. Kill lice with
crude oil sprinkled on the hogs at feed
ing time, applied to rubbing posts, OF
used as thin layer on top OF the water
in a dipping tank or concrete hog
wallow.

CLOVER SEED 100 PER CENT I'M
PURE

Samples of sweet clover seed recently
submitted to the South Dakota Agri-
cultural College showed that the fol
lowing seeds composed seventy two per
cent; Canada thistle, quack grass,
common plantain, fox-tail, curled dock,
lamb 's-quarter, pig weed, barnyard
grass, old witch grass, Kentucky blue
grass, and timothy. There was also a
little red clover and some alsike clover,
but the tester was unable to find a
single seed of sweet clover in the sam
pie. Oregon has a pure seed law, but
still it is possible for INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers to put out this brand of seed. I'm
less the farmer knows precisely what
he is doing, it would be advisable to
send sample to the seed testing labor
atory of the Agricultural College and
find out precisely what he proposes to
sow.-Oregon Agricultural College

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

At this time when many of the high
& schools of the state are adding argi-
a culture to their courses of study and
4 when there is great interest in many
Il quarters in the possibilities of the. sub
jet as school study, it may not be
amiss to take brief survey of the his
tory of Agricultural Education in this
country.
Agricultural teaching in the United
1 States has worked from above down
ward. College instruction in agricul-
ture began at Columbia University as
4 early as 1892 tho it was of little i'm
4 portance until after the founding of
the colleges of agriculture following the
passage of the Morrill, Act in 1862. 1t
was not until 1888 that the first school
Tor teaching the subject to young PEG.
PIE OF high-school age was established at
Ut. Anthony's Park, Minnesota, in con.
nection with the College of Agriculture
Of that state.
Nebraska followed the example of
Minnesota by establishing a similar
school in 1896. About the same time
Alabama established a special agricul.
taral high-school in each congressional
district. In 1902 Wisconsin began to
establish county agricultural high.
schools. In 1905 Minnesota followed
tne example of Wisconsin in founding
county agricultural high-schools, and
again q few years later, adopted the
new plan Of granting liberal state aid
~, the support of departments of agri
suilure and domestic science in any ex
s1lng high-schools which would con
form TO certain standards laid down by
NE state. Other states have followed
tne lead of these pioneers and there
