A treatment for ptomain poisoning is 

 one tablespoonful of castor oil and one- 

 fifth-grain doses of sulphate of strych- 

 nine, the latter to be given every four 

 to six hours until the fowl is relieved. 



There will be few sick fowls when 

 conditions are correct. Scaly leg can 

 be successfully treated with lard and 

 kerosene. The formula is a tablespoon- 

 ful of kerosene to a half teacup of lard. 

 Two or three applications will usually 

 clean the legs. Aspergillosis is a dis- 

 ease caused by feeding mouldy grains 

 or feeding in mouldy straw used as 

 litter. The only remedy is to remove 

 the cause. There is no treatment for 

 the disease. Bumble foot is a swelling 

 of the feet which develops bunions on 

 the bottom of the feet. The cause is 

 jumping from high perches. 



There is always danger of contagious 

 diseases, such as roup, cholera, chicken- 

 pox and catarrh. The danger is greatly 

 reduced when fowls are in proper 

 physical condition. Thrifty fowls are 

 almost immune from diseases. Diseases 

 are in all cases more easily prevented 

 than cured. 



Closer Commercial Relation 



An exchange of professors between 

 the School of Commerce of the Univer- 

 sity of Oregon and some one of the 

 universities of South America is the 

 plan of H. B. Miller, director of the 

 department of commercial and indus- 

 trial survey. The plan is intended to 

 bring about a closer commercial rela- 

 tion between Oregon and South Ameri- 

 can countries through the medium of 

 education. It will be presented to the 

 university regents by. Professor P. L. 

 Campbell. "Ignorance always means 

 prejudice and lost opportunities. 

 Knowledge is the beginning of trade 

 as well as of friendship," is the way 

 President Campbell puts it, realizing 

 that one of the duties of the School of 

 Commerce is to further the prosperity 

 of the state in every way that is within 

 the province of an educational institu- 

 tion of this kind. 



The intention is that the man who 

 will come here from South America 

 shall be conversant with the commer- 

 cial trade and possibilities of trade 

 and the natural resources and manufac- 

 tured products of his part of the world, 

 with special reference to the demands 

 of the Pacific Northwest, and particu- 

 larly of Oregon, and that he shall in- 

 struct the students of the School of 

 Commerce along lines of commercial 

 development of the relations between 

 Oregon and South America. In addi- 

 tion, he will teach business Spanish, 

 the more or less technical phraseology 

 of trade and trading. Conversely, the 

 man who will go from the School of 

 Commerce of the University of Oregon 

 will have made a detailed study of all 

 those products of Oregon for which a 

 South American trade can be developed. 

 This knowledge he will transmit to the 

 university to which he is credited, as 

 well as teach commercial English there. 



The School of Commerce believes this 

 exchange of instructors to be one of the 

 most practical and eHicient methods of 

 developing commercial relations with

other countries. The man sent from 

 the School of Commerce to South Amer- 

 ica first will go on a trip throughout 

 the state to make a detailed study of 

 the lumber, paper, box-making and fur- 

 niture factories, fruit canneries and 

 dryers, flour mills, meat packing plants 

 and other of the leading industries, that 

 he may be prepared to call the atten- 

 tion of the importers and business men 

 of the South American states to Oregon 

 trade possibilities. He also will be in- 

 structed to study the products of the 

 South American state to which he goes, 

 especially those that may be imported
