There may come a time when our women
will have to do police duty. and it is said that
they have done noble work in this line in a few
cities of the United States. A woman. however.
must be perfect physically. and strons. to take
over mans duty. The housework for the mother
or the housekeeper at home is often beyond her
strength. 1t must be lishtened in some way or
other Very. often the worries and cares are
much greater than the actual physical labor. but
the feeling that this or that cleaning sewing, etc,
must be done, fatigues the mind more than the
physical labor actually tires the body. No won
der the tendency of our times is for the young
women to prefer work in office or factory rather
than doing house drudsey. If the woman Of

ton He Proposes.
EIGHT COMBINATIONS

Professor Fjelsted Of the Oregon
Agricultural college offers to the farm
Ing public an arrangement for feeding
and fattening hogs on feeds, other than
corn or wheat. which he says vii ma
tsrially decrease the cost to the hog
grower and at the same time insure TO
the country at large plenty OF pork for
tn coming year. The principal reason
advanced by so many farmers for the
sale Of their hogs at this time is the
htxh cost Of wheat and corn. which
feeds have been hitherto held to be es-
sential when putting hard flesh on a
hog while getting 1t in proper condi-
ton Tor the market
Professor Fjelstcd offers eight pos
aible combinations for feeding the
animals, which he says have been
proved by actual experiment to be
body builders of the best type,
Ground Barley.
The first Of these is the feeding of
40 pounds of ground barley
The second feed TO be introduced to
the fattening hogs Is 400 pounds of
ground barley plus twenty pounds Of
digested tankage.
Number three III 332 pounds OF
ground barley plus $50 pounds of skim
or buttermilk.
The fourth is GAG pounds Of ground
barley, plus 1913 pounds of middlngs,
plus 200 pounds of buttcrmilx or skim
milk:
The fifth is 236 pounds of ground
barley, plus lis pounds of middlings
plus tll pounds of garbage,
Number six Is ago pounds of ground
barley. plus 100 pounds OF middlings
The seventh calls for 252 pounds
Of ground barley, plus 1876 pounds of
middlings, plus 80 pounds of digester
tankage.
The eight calls for 200 pounds Of
ground barley. plus 2es pounds Of
middlings and 20 pounds of digester
tankage.
In addition he says that the follow
INF mixture should be kept before the
hogs at al, times: One hundred
pounds of sacked coal or wood ashes,
four pounds OF air-slacked lime, two
pounds OF common salt and a pound
Of EPSON salts. These are to be

lnsures Good Returns.
Fjelsted says that the use of this
feeding system viii put enough flesh
on the hogs to insure good return
when they are placed on the market.
and at the same time will cut down
the production cost to such IA level as
will enable the producer to still keep
his hogs on the place.
The attention Of the food admins
trAtton authorities has been called to
this feeding system, and it is hoped
by the college officials that it will be
brought to the attention of the farm
ers who have been raising few pigs
for the market, but who have been
tempted by the high cost of feed to
let their holdings be dissipated.

To still another department Of agri-

to tho science OF plant breeding. The
work of Darwin. Mendel and DeVries
in the field Of pure science, the work
of Spillman. Bailey and others, apply
ing the principles to the plants of the
field, garden and orchard has laid the
world under deep and permanent oh
legation. by giving us the highly de-
veioped varieties which bcautify. en-
rich and sustain life.
The highly productive races of eere-
ais. the splendid varieties of potatoes
and root crops. the delicious fruits, are
all the products of scientific selection
and propa cation. Few pants there are
of the field or garden which in their
desirable features have not been ac-
centuated by the botanist in the partic-
ular role of plant breeder Back of all
the concrete and tangible contributions
of grains, vegetables, and fruits is the
earnest search for the underlying laws
which determine heredtty. the knowl-

establish with the soil particles. the
absorption of moisture and it's trans
port through the plant, the condition
and composition of the soil, the guam

retardation or acceleration of maturity,
the influences which modify or con-
troll the fruitage, immunity or suseep-
tibility to disease, matters of flower
ing. pollinaton and fertilization, all
are purely botanical matters. The line
of demarcation between the botanist
and the agricnlturist. or more speeifi-
cally. the agronomist, is that the for
mer is more concerned with the princi-
pies which control plant growth. the
latter with their specific application.
Both are. or should be. investigators,

For those who simply will not go to

place too much faith IN this system.
as he, being Inexperienced. may east
off some really good birds, but my plan
would be To work over the flock into
pens and then watch for results. In
this way one will be able to satisfy
himself whether he Is right or wrong
or whether the system liz right or
wrong. To the fair minded person
who applies the method to his flock
and Is not what is known m a "Baueal-

the start.
The best way is to apply either one

The cultural conditions OF crops, from

inseparablc from the principles of plant
physiology. The first step in intelli-

seed, and intelligent selection involves
several considerations viz. the size and
composition OF seeds and their viability
or terminating capacity, whether

slow. weak and numerically low. Such
determinations are not difficult to
make. but the percentage of error is
