Fat Hogs.

1t is only a few years ago that swine
breeders were vieing with each other
for great weight, hung it up and put
their label on it, $50 much, by so and
So" But now all is changed. Breed
ing hogs that will weigh 500 pounds
are sold at less prices per pound than
those of $50 to 800 pounds. The mar
ket of England and even Germany, has
long ago favored light weights. Do
you ask why? Because after hog has
reached that weight, it costs more than
every additional pound in the hog will
bring to put that much on the critter,
for a hog is hog, and the older the
hog, the bigger the hog as masticator.
Small wheight is what our farmers
should encourage. They are the most
profitable, and profit means gain. To
illustrate our reasoning: For instance,
man had a nice fat hog, weighing $50
pounds. Now if he feeds that hog I'M
til it weighs three hundred fifty pounds
it will cost him more than the hog did
altogether when at its first figure. Some
may be dubious about this, but let them
try it. Our advice is, when a hog
weighs $50 pounds, fat and hearty, sell
it and make money.-Wala Wala

NARROW EsCAPE.-LastM Monday,
as three members of the family of Jno.
Wesar, were coming down the river
road in wagon, when near the place
of Mr.. Stanger, large fir tree three or
four feet in diameter fell, struck the
wagon in the middle and smashed it in
to a thousand pieces. The occupants
of the wagon saw the tree barely in
time to jump out, thus affecting one Of
the most miraculous escapes on record.
They were struck by the small limbs
and brush, and one, a young lady, was
precipitated beneath wheel of the
wagon aud somewhat bruised. The
tree had been burning for several days,
and blame is attached to Mr.. Stanger,
for not giving more timely warning to
the passers by.

DAsTARDLY CONDUCT.-One night
last week, Mr.. F. Drews, the new bar
Der, was awakened from sleep about IL
o'clock by heavy stone crashing
through his shop window. He says
this is not the first time his premises
have been stoned in the night. He is
not aware of having harmed anybody;
all the offense he has committed consists
in the fact that he is trying to earn an
honest living as barber. 1t is not too
much to say, that the man who would
throw rock through a window as in
this instance, is coward and rascal,
and if detected should be punished to
the full extent ofthe law.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-02-02

PROBATE RECORDS.-The atten-
ton of the county authorities is called
to the condition of the old records of
the Probate Court. The earlierrecords
are not indexed, and are almost unin-
telligiblc. Why not order the Probate
Clerk to do little work Strengthening
things up, and pay him what his trouble
is worth. OF course he cannot be ex-
pected to do it for nothing. The dusty
hand of time gets dustier every year,
and obliterates old traces of the pen
with great facility. Many of these
records concern the title to real estate,
which will, doubtless, some day become
valuable.

THE PUBLIC SQUARE.-Vancouver
has the making of one of the hand
soonest Public Squares in the country
The trees should be trimed out and the
surface of the ground leveled off. As
spring opens, would it not be good
idea for the City Council to look after
this matter? Last summer our town
was favorite point for picnics and ex-
cursions from Portland, and local pride
would suggest that we beautify little,
in the hope of more attention of the kind
in the future.
