UNCLE SAM DEVOTED YEARS TO POULTRY PROBLEMS Poultryman May Work Out the Best Methods for Himself, But It Costs Money Poultry raisers, whether engaging in the business on a large scale or owning only a small flock, will find it to their interest to get in touch with the United States department of agriculture when in doubt about the best methods to follow. Visitors in Washington wishing to consult the department's poultry specialists are invited to call at their office and also to visit their experimental farm. The work in poultry feeding and breeding is conducted by the animal husbandry division and that relating to diseases by the pathological division of the bureau of animal industry. Many bulletins are available dealing with various phases of poultry raising, any of which may be had free upon application to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture. In addition to the regular bulletins there are a number prepared especially for boys' and girls' clubs and for persons beginning the poultry business without much knowledge of its requirements. A list of these may be had upon application to the same division. At the department's experiment farm at Beltsville, Md., various rations are being fed to hens to study their effect. For example, in one experiment the hen balances her own rations; in another fish meal is included; in another no wheat or wheat products are used; while cottonseed meal replaces a part of the beef scrap in another. Comparisons are also made of the effect of the same rations on hens of the egg breeds as compared with those of the general-purpose breeds. Only simple rations of campus and varsity songs and yells will be features of this big jolly-up which will arouse enthusiasm in the coming football season. That prospects are bright for a winning football team is the opinion of followers of the sport who say that even Coach Gloomy Gus Henderson has been heard to admit things might be worse. The University of Southern California, advantageously situated in Los Angeles, offers extensive graduate and undergraduate courses in the college of liberal arts and in the colleges of law, dentistry, pharmacy, music, oratory, theology and commerce and business administration. NEW ELKS' OUTPOST Out where the west begins—at least where many people say California begins—the Elks of southern California have erected the Outpost. It stands in granite, a welcome to every Elk who comes to California by way of Camp Cajon. Every Elks lodge in this end of the state, including Santa Ana No. 794 and Anaheim No. 1345, had a part in the building of the Outpost. Representatives from the various lodges on May 1 formed what was called the Southern California B. P. O. E. Elks Outpost association, with officers named as follows: President, Harry M. Ticknor, of Pasadena; vice-president, Paul D. Robinson, of Los Angeles; secretary, treasurer, Major O. P. Sloat, of San Bernardino; building committee, H. M. Ticknor, Pasadena; R. H. Mack, of San Bernardino; Herman Stern, of Anaheim; H. S. Williamson, of Redlands; Edgar F. Davis, of Long Beach; George Sarau, of Riverside, and P. V. Hammond, of Los Angeles. The cost of structure was estimated at $3150 and the amount was apportioned by a committee among the lodges.

For example, in one experiment the hen balances her own rations; in another fish meal is included; in another no wheat or wheat products are used; while cottonseed meal replaces a part of the beef scrap in another. Comparisons are also made of the effect of the same rations on hens of the egg breeds as compared with those of the general-purpose breeds. Only simple rations of widely available feeds are used. A large amount of data has been obtained on the feed cost of producing eggs. Hens in considerable numbers are being trap-nested, and matings made to determine the possibilities of different methods of breeding in increasing or fixing egg production. Matings to fix certain types or characters desired in the flocks also are made. No birds are retained in the flock which have a desqualification that would bar them under the rules of the American standard oof protection. The results being obtained indicate that it is possible to combine utility and standard breeding to a practical degree. Any of this information is available for the persons requesting it, and the department is eager to have it used widely. Boys' and girls' poultry clubs have a wide influence in interesting the children in raising chickens, and in teaching them and their parents the best methods of handling poultry for the production of eggs and meat. The department co-operates with the state agricultural colleges in forming these clubs. The department's activities include every branch of poultry raising, and this includes turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pigeons, and even ostriches. A small flock of ostriches is maintained at Glendale, Ariz., where their feeding, breeding, and management are being carefully studied. The production of ostrich feathers with special reference to their quality and to the eliminating of certain defects common to American feathers is receiving attention. The department is giving special attention to improving the quality of market eggs with a view t overcoming losses estimated at many millions of dollars annually. These studies cover the production of eggs on the farm, and their handling from the farm to the country store. The production of infertile eggs, which are far superior in keeping qualities to fertile eggs, is being adjusted. Pasadena, Vic., President, Paul D. Robinson, of Los Angeles; secretary, treasurer, Major O. P. Sloat, of San Bernardino; building committee, H. M. Ticknor, Pasadena; R. H. Mack, of San Bernardino; Herman Stern, of Anaheim; H. S. Williamson, of Redlands; Edgar F. Davis, of Long Beach; George Sarau, of Riverside, and P. V. Hammond, of Los Angeles. The cost of structure was estimated at $3150 and the amount was apportioned by a committee among the lodges of southern California, and every lodge has paid the sum apportioned. The outpost is of granite masonry admittedly the most beautiful specimen of its kind in the south. In the center of the wall facing the highway is a clock face, three feet in diameter, with hands pointing to the mystic hour of Elavon. It is wrought from white and black stone fragments and black cement. Below the clock and in the same wall the letters "B. P. O. E." have been worked with white stone over a black background. Below this is a table carrying the words of Arthur Chapman's famous poem, "Out Where the West Begins." The Outpost was constructed during the administration of William M. Abbott, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, and on the base of the flagstaff is carried this sentiment to the flag, from Mr. Abbott: "O Flag, forever, as in benediction wave O'er freemen lovinf liberty and law." The building has a capacity for 20 to 30 people at a dinner. It was built primarily for the use of motor tourists coming west. It is equipped with stove, dishes, table and other equipment for cooking and serving meals, and its facilities are open to any Elk on showing his membership credentials to the caretaker of the camp. However, the home Elks—that is, the southern California members of the order—will get much benefit from it for outing parties. A tablet on the structure carries a greeting to the visiting Elks from the east from the following lodges, all of whom co-operated in construction of the building: Los Angeles, No. 199; San Diego, No. 168; Redlands, No. 583; Santa Barbara, No. 613; Riverside, No. 643; Pasadena, No. 672; Pomona, No. 789; Santa Ana, No. 794; San Bernardino, No. 836; Long Beach, No. 888; Santa Marlese No. 906; San Diego No. 906 mon to American feathers is receiving attention. The department is giving special attention to improving the quality of market eggs with a view to covercoming losses estimated at many millions of dollars annually. These studies cover the production of eggs on the farm, and their handling from the farm to the country store. The production of infertile eggs, which are far superior in keeping qualities to fertile eggs, is being advocated. U. S. C. ENROLLMENT Opening this week with the record enrollment of its forty years' history, the University of Southern California easily maintains its rank, states Registrar J. H. Montgomery, as the second largest institution for higher education in California and the third largest on the Pacific coast. The addition of faculty members in many departments has been made necessary by the growth of the university. Specialists in many lines have been added to the teaching force from leading universities throughout the country. Added facilities are provided for the university in the new $600,000 George Finley Bovard administration building, which is opened for use this semester. Besides administration offices, spacious reception rooms and twenty-eight up-to-date class rooms, the new building contains one of the finest auditoriums on the coast. Participation of alumni and former students of the University of Southern California in the affairs of the college year is to be urged in a home-coming day planned for some time early in the semester is the statement of Dr. Roy Malcom, president of the greater alumni association. A huge bonanza on the tablet on the structure carries a greeting to the visiting Elks from the east from the following lodges, all of whom co-operated in construction of the building: Los Angeles, No. 199; San Diego, No. 168; Redlands, No. 583; Santa Barbara, No. 612; Riverside, No. 643; Pasadena, No. 672; Pomona, No. 789; Santa Ana, No. 794; San Bernardino, No. 836; Long Beach, No. 888; Santa Monica, No. 906; San Pedro, No. 966; Whittler, No. 1258; Glendale, No. 1289; El Centro, No. 1325; Alhambra, No. 1328; Anaheim, No. 1345; Redlands, No. 1378; Calexico, No. 1382; Huntington Park, No. 1415; Ontario, No. 1419; Brawley, No. 1420. TRUTHFUL In Boston they tell of a Dr. Reed who, in his time, was one of the prominent physicians of that city. His large practice included many patients outside the city limits and these he visited in his buggy. One day, it appears, Dr. Reed bought a new horse, with which he was greatly pleased until he discovered that the beast had an insurmountable objection to bridges of all kinds and could not be made to cross one. Now, inasmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the surrounding towns, the doctor decided to sell the horse. He did not think it at all necessary to mention the animals peculiarity, but was much too honest to misrepresent him. Accordingly, after due cogitation, he inserted in a local paper the following advertisement: "For Sale—A chestnut horse, warranted sound and kind. The only reason for selling is that the owner is obliged to leave Boston."—Philadelphia Ledged. REDUCTION In outbidding road work in a district No. 7, a Fairchild-Gilmour dressing the booth Tuesday, declaring reducing his cause of specificulations furnishing gineer J. L. McCoy. The contract plans and specifies that he guessing. Beccaria Fairchild bid $57,000 to $55,000. NEW UNIT FOR EDISON COMPANY Authority to proceed with the construction of an additional unit in its Big creek hydro electric development was given the Southern California Edison company by the railroad commission. The new plant will bring in 50,000 kilowatts by 1923 and the work to be done up to that time calls for the expenditure of $11,500,000 while the ultimate cost of the complete development is placed at $17,500,000. The present plans call for the construction of a dam across the San Joaquin river, just below Big creek creating a forebay reservoir. Water will be conducted from this reservoir through a tunnel five and three-quarters miles long to the proposed power house site. A short transmission line will connect with the present lines carrying electric energy to Los Angeles. In reviewing the development plans of the company the commission makes interesting comparison between the cost of developing electric energy by water power and by steam plant. The cost of power is estimated at less than 5 mills per kilowatt-hour for the initial development, while the ultimate development will reduce the cost to slightly in excess of 2 mills. Contrasted with steam generated current it is pointed out that the oil cost per kilowatt-hour is 6 mills and other plant expenses bring the total up to 7 mills. Increasing demand for hydro-electric power is indicated by figures presented by the company. In 1913 the output of power from the system operated by the Edison company was 600,000,000 kilowatt-hours, while in the present year 1,000,000,000 K. W. H. is being developed and the anticipated demand for 1923 is placed at 1,300,000,000 K. W. H. "It is therefore apparent," the commission says, "that the development of additional water power is not only desirable to minimize the more expensive figure. McBride's estimate was $59,057.44. On the same work George R. Curtis bid $55,600 and Wells and Bressler, $60,000. Steele Finley was awarded a contract for paving at Yorba Linda on submitting a bid of $15,742.14. George Curtis bid $20,975.23 and Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company bid $17,138.95. Blds also were submitted on La Mirada avenue, sections 2 and 3, the Brea-Linda road, east of the state highway, Euclid avenue to the north end of the Garden Grove road and Broadway. Steele Finley submitted the lowest bid and was awarded the blanket contract. His bid was $58,261.12. Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company bid $59,406.81 and the Southwest Paving company $61,658.57. Part of the funds for the building of the Brea-Ollinda road will come out of the general road fun. And the funds for the La Mirada avenue paving are to come out of the third district auto license fund and the good roads fund, three-fourths from the former and one-fourth from the latter. Money for the construction of the Grand avenue, Buena Park and Euclid avenue will be taken out of the good roads fund. West Broadway, Anaheim and Orangethorse avenue jobs will be paid for by money out of the third district road fund. GOLD IN UNITED STATES The treasury's estimate of the stock of gold in the United States September 1, $3,377,417,980, would indicate an increase of $88,809,512 during August. This would be much the largest increase of any month of the present year, which in turn would indicate that last month's total gold imports were very much greater than had been supraincrease in total value from $2,041,981 to $3,567,760. The more important items were diatomaceous earth, barites, lithia and talc. In the salines group there were important increases made by borax and soda, but which were nearly counterbalanced by a decrease of almost a million dollars by potash. California yields commercially a greater number and variety of mineral products than any other state in the United States, and probably more than any other equal area elsewhere on the earth. Previous to 1916 the total annual value of her output was surpassed by four other states, they being the great coal and iron producers of east of the Mississippi river. In 1916 and 1917, because of their enormous increase in copper output, Montana and Arizona passed California in total value of those years, and Arizona for 1918. Of one item, at least, borax, California still remains the sole producer, and for many years was also the sole domestic source of chromite and magnesite. We produce at least 75 per cent of the quicksilver of the United States. For some years we have been leading all others in gold and platinum, while alternating in the lead with Colorado in tungsten and with Oklahoma in petroleum. FARM BUREAU MANAGER Following the recent favorable action of the board of directors of the Orange county farm bureau, the new secretary-manager of the farm bureau, in person of R. D. Flaherty has assumed his duties at the office on North Main street, Santa Ana. Secretary Flaherty was formerly a resident of Medford, Oregon, where he was executive manager of the Jackson county farm bureau exchange. His duties in the Orange county organization will be to take charge of all business connected with the member- HEARTY SOUPS CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF MEAT AT TIMES Black bean soup, split pea soup, cream of bean or pea, and puree of beans and tomatoes are delicious, inexpensive, and easy to make. Many of these soups are so hearty that they can form the chief dish of a meal, say food experts of the United States department of agriculture. Soak and cook a pint of pease or beans a usual, but take more water, about 2 quarts, and cook until very soft. Then put them through a sieve These mashed beans and peas are ready to be made into all kinds of soup by adding the various seasonings, water and milk, or stock enough to make two quarts. These soups should all have a little flour added to them as a binder to prevent the thick part from sattling to the bottom. Mix thoroughly two tablespoons fat with two tablespoons flour, add a little of the hot soup, and stir until it is smooth, then add to the remaining soup, stirring to prevent lumping, and cook for about 10 minutes. To the pulp from 1 pint of beans or peas, add enough water or stock to make 2 quarts. Thicken with flour as directed. Season with salt and pepper. The juice of a lemon and one-half teaspoon mustard adds to the flavor. Cream of Bean or Pea Soup—To the cooked and mashed pulp add enough milk to make 2 quarts or soup. Season and thicken with flour. Puree or Porridge of Beans and Tomatoes—Instead of milk, tomatoes may be used. Add a cup of canned tomatoes or three medium-sized tomatoes, which have been cooked for 10 minutes. "It is therefore apparent," the commission says, "that the development of additional water power is not only desirable to minimize the more expensive operation of steam plants which will otherwise be necessary, but it is essential that additional capacity be provided to meet the demands for power that must be expected within the next two years." GOLD IN UNITED STATES The treasury's estimate of the stock of gold in the United States September 1, $3,377,417,980, would indicate an increase of $88,809,512 during August. This would be much the largest increase of any month of the present year, which in turn would indicate that last month's total gold imports were very much greater than had been supposed. The federal reserve board has reported import of $54,500,000 between August 1 and August 20, and about $20,000,000 was supposed to have arrived during the rest of the month. Our own gold production does not average now much over $4,000,000. Until last June the high record figure in this country's stock of gold was $3,095,077,467 in July, 1919. The remarkable fact about this gold import movement is that, three months ago, European experts were proving that it could not continue at anything like the existing rate. By the mint calculations of the world's total monetary stock of gold the United States now holds apparently about 42 per cent of it. CALIFORNIA MINING OUTPUT Compilation of the final returns from the mineral producers of California for 1920 has now been completed by the statistical division of the state mining bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist. The total value amounted to the sum of $242,099,667 worth of crude materials. There were 50 different mineral substances, exclusive of a segregation of the various stones grouped under gems; and all of the 58 counties of the state contributed to the list. As compared with the 1919 output, the notable features of 1920 are: The continued increase in petroleum valuation, the decreases in the metals group, and increases in the structural and "industrial" groups. The net result was an increase of $46,269,665 over the grand total value of the year 1919, of which Increase petroleum accounted for more than 76 per cent. The metals group was the only one as a while showing a net decrease, being due mainly to gold, copper and quicksilver. Notable increases were registered by silver and lead. An interesting feature of the re-ion fund. County Engineer J. L. McBride states that the proposed demonstration to be staged at Pittsburg, Cal., by Columbia Steel company of San Francisco, to determine the endurance of certain types of road construction had been postponed to the early part of October. McBride and Supervisor H. A. Wassum had announced their intention of witnessing the demonstration, which was to have been held some time this week. McBride received a letter announcing the postponement. He said that the event has been postponed several times.

Season and thicken with flour. Puree or Porridge of Beans and Tomatoes—Instead of milk, tomatoes may be used. Add a cup of canned tomatoes or three medium-sized tomatoes, which have been cooked for 10 minutes and put through a sieve. If the porridge is too thick, add water or stock. Season and add the flour as directed. Bean or Pea Soup with Meat—The peas or beans are soaked as usual and cooked with the meat in 4 quarts of water instead of in 2 quarts. Use a soup or ham bone, or one-half pound of salt pork or any smoked meat, and cook until the beans are soft. Remove the meat and put the soup through a sieve. Season and thicken. The cooked meat cut in small pieces may be added to the soup. An onion, several stalks of celery, or soup herbs are good with the soup. REDUCES HIS BID In outbidding his competitors on road work in road improvement district No. 7, a representative of the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company, addressing the board of supervisors last Tuesday, declared that he felt safe in reducing his original bid $2000 because of specific specifications and calculations furnished him by County Engineer J. L. McBride. The contractor said that McBride's plans and specifications were so accurate that he did not have to do any guessing. Because of this factor, the Fairchild bid was then reduced from $57,000 to $55,000 and accepted at the No scratch deface. Bud's friends are not welcome; They "muss up the place."
