Portland has suffered and continues foo
suffer quito as much from this cause as
the basin itself, is a fact which seems,
until recently, to have escaped notice.
The relation is mutual, and has always
bsen So In delaying the development
of the country and limiting its produc.
tion "a n,tura. consequence Of too high
rates., the old navis tion company did
Portland great injury by limiting her
business. Portland gained little from
the profits Of the early traffic, for, al.
though f'r time they were engrossed
by Portland men, the fortunes they
made, 10 almost every instance, were
eventually carried bodily out Of the
state. Portland, the market, suffers
under the severe rates now charged BY
the railroad company, equally with the
field Of production And she has no
advantage from the high rates, since tho
owners Of the road, whom the profits
enrich, do not live among US.
Portland has unquestionubly, accord
ing to good business rule, gotten the high
est possible price for goods and tho high:
est possible interest on money, and she
has not been enterprising in making .
market for the country; but on the other
hand, she has carried the country 10 :

well as good. There are few merchants
in the country who, during the season Of
hardtimes now about ended, who could

"'nland Empire" owes Portland's mer-,
chants six millions Of dollars at the pres-
ent time, and it will be allowed to owe II
under business system which is liberal
ofteutimes to the point Of generosity.
More and more, as the town and
country grow in almost exact proportion,
and as new means Of transportation mako
US nearer to each other and better ac-
quainted, it is seen that our interest are
mutual and must remain 30. No circum-'
stances can injure one without harming
the other and this is coming to be very
generally understood. The oily real
ground Of complaint against Portlrnd
now existing is that she does not make,
as she ought, market for the country.
1t is right that the country should insist
upon reciprocity in this matter. To do
so is an effort to build up the Interests
Of town and country alike, very different

Over Feeding Show Pigs.
Prairie Farmer.

In preparing young swine for exhibit
ton at fairs, care should be taken not to
over-feed them. This is frequently done
In the anxiety to have the animals pre-
sent fine appearance. Many a local sow
that carries away prize at the local fair
never rears any progeny. She has been
over-fed. In many instances they stop
growing entirely. Thus, in addition to
being worthless as breeders, they become
almost valueless for meat. The small
compactly built breeds are more subject
to become barren from over feeding than
the larger or coarser breeds. The writer
recalls, that when boy, he obtained a
pair of thoroughbred Suffolk pigs. They
were ten weeks old and weighed seventy
pounds. just about that time he had
read that good pig of that age should
gain a pound in weight each day, and he
determined that his pigs should do their
duty. He incosed them in tight board
pen against the protests of older mem
bers of the family. In addition to the
proper amount OF food he surreptitious-
ly gave them all they would eat These
pigs were seen and admired by people far
and near. They gained nearly pound
daily each tor two months, when the SOW
stopped growing, ana the ulsgusteu
breeder turned them out on the farm
with other hogs, The SOW remained on
the farm for year, but grew no larger.
She never bred but always looked nice
and fat. The boar, a coarser and more
robust pig, recovered from the effects of
overlooking, and became large and ser
viceable animal. Since that time similar
cases have been observed, especially
among animals that have been exhibited
at fairs and stock shows An experience
ed breeder rarely ever makes such mis-
take, and an experienced judge would
not award prize to an overfed animal
intending to be used for breeding pur-
poses. A show animal should be fed up
sufficiently to make it look straight and
smooth, but should not be fattened, ex-
cept they be mature and not intended for
breeding
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-09-02
Selecting the Breed of Swine.


A writer says: There is no batter time
than during the summer growth of swine,
or during annual fairs, for the intending
beginner to select breed to adhere to.
1t may not be to his interest not only to
select a breed, but the specimens of breed
will grow to a fair marketable size at an
early age. The color, as in cattle, is
mainly q fancy, for, while it may not be
denied that some swine are liable to all
ments of the skin. that do not common
ly affect Others having the hair and outer
coating of the skin differently colored,
yet the color cuts no figure in fixing the
fattening tendency or in determining the
quality of the flesh. BY examining diff
erent herds of breeding swine, and the
off-shoots of those that are being fed for
markets, the latter on some farms being
made up of the leavings RS did not
meet the demands for breeding purposes
as these are upon grass, depending
mainly upon this for sustenance, one
can make a better estimate of the value
of a given herd, as 'sell tenders" than
where they arc kept up in close quarters,
and fed on rich food prepared from
grains, oil cake meal, etc.
Then again it is an aid o: 40 mean i'm
portance in making selections, to be able
to look over lot of brood sows having
their litters with them, as in this way we
are enabled to see what the tendencies
are in breeding; that is, whether they are
inclined to breed good litters as to num-
bers and good also in the matters of
growth, form, and tendency to fatten
promptly. II one will keep an eye out
for pointers that will aid him, he will get
these by observing not usual sight
namely, that portion of the sows so fine
looking themselves are followed by one
or two good pigs, another not so good,
and puny runt. These are some of the
advantages secured by visiting herds
in the summer, as one can then most
easily trace family characteristics, in the
matter of prolitickness not only of the
older sows, but of the offshoots of those
that have been put to breeding. There is
natural tendency to variation in all
kinds of domestic animals, and swine
stock coming into breeding so early and
maturing so rapidly, it is not unreasonable
to expect striking variations. Hence if
we can find within given herd family
line moro uniform in important features
than other family lines in the collection,
reasonably prolific as breeders, good
growers and shapely in form, these are
the families out of which we should Sc
lect, getting our male from a different,
and if necessary, distant herd.

Mending in Season.
California Patron.

In the days of our grandmothers the
art OF mending all kinds of clothing
either woven or knit, and all kinds of ar
ticles in household use, was esteemed a
most necessary and womanly accomplish
ment, and no young woman was consid-
cred eligible for matrimony, who was
ignorant of this useful art, ga penny saw
ed is a penny earned" was a maxim that
WAS ploughed in and well cultivated in
the memories of the rising generation,
fifty to a hundred years ago, and bore
fruit in thousands of minds. In those
days, it cost less to raise a family of a
dozen to eighteen children, than it does
now to raise five, and the children of the
present are no better, brighter, and
usually not as robust and healthy, and
certainly not as industrious as the child
rem of those days.
The girls of this era in cities and large
towns, bang the piano, make crazy quilts,
work and crochet in worsted of different
kinds, embroider in Kensington stitch
paint plaques, panels, flowers, etc.
Whether they have any artistic talent or
not they must learn music and painting
but at least three fourths of them do not
darn their own stockings and cannot
mend or make over garment so they
would be willing to wear it on the street,
much less wash and iron their berutfled
and embroidered undergarments, and
mend them neatly (if needed before
putting them away. How many girls
and women too sit down to their embroid
cry or painting who have from peck to
half bushel Of stockings tucked away
that only need few hours darning to
make them wearable. Many girls have
never been taught to darn nicely, and
darning will soon be lost art. l have
seen girls take needle and thread and
draw hole in a stocking together in a
pucker and fasten it strongly, and called
that darning, and said | was az old
fogy," when / commented on that
way of mending. Worse than that,
saw blooming young lady dressing
to 90 to matinee, After tumbl-
ing over about thirty pairs of stock
ings to find whole pair put on pair
with holes in both heels and toes, and
this was the way she managed. She
drew the stocking ON, so she left the
hole in the heel ueder tim foot and cut
of the toe of the stocking whipped the
cut edges over the toes with coarse
thread and put on dainty pair Of IS
dollar boots over those make-shift hose
