The Hog in the Farm Economy.

At a recent convention In Vicksbure
Prof. James Wilson of Iowa gave
what may be called a progressive ad
dress on the hog, and we propose tc
give our readers the benefit OF it.
The corn belt produce the lard hog
We turn corn into pork-mostly fat
We have developed q hog for that
purpose-the Poland. China.
The Danes find the bacon hog most
profitable--a very different animal
from the lard hog, and feed on more
nitrogenous nutrients. The people Of
the South will study the situation and
suit the hog to his environments. The
possibilities of your soil and climate
present an interesting study to the
student. If you have adopted system
of farming that has the pasture that
will produce grasses throughout the
growing season or succulent substi-
tutes to supplement the pasture when
it is deficient, you are in advance Of
most States of the Union, and, If you
have not, this task precedes the study
of the animals that are to live upon
the plants.
I cannot recommend the hog as q
speciality to any people. He has made
more money for the people of the
corn belt than any other animal,
or farm department, but our peo-
pie are learning that for the benefit Of
the land they should be auxiliary to
the COW, and that she should be the
center of the farm system around
which all other departments should be
grouped.
The COW and hog dove-tail together
very flttingly. The critical time In
the life of the hog is at weaving; then
the cow adopts the litter and nurtures
them along toward shoathood, the

Condition of Crops and the Russian
Thistle Pest.

Condition of Crops and the Russian
Thistle Pest.
GUELPH, N. D., May ia state
ment as to the condition Of things
here, in regard to crops and Russian
thistles, might be of some interest to
Oregon people, although they have no
thistles in Western Oregon, they would
thrive and do well In Eastern Oregon.
The Russian thistle got a wonderful
early, thrifty start this spring, so much
80, that 1t will be a question whether
early sown grain will be harvested,
yet there is a chance for it if 1t gets
moisture enough to make rapid
growth, 80 as to ripen before the this
tass get too tall to prevent the wheat
from being harvested.
Reports came from South Dakota,
where the Russian thistle first made
It's appearance In this country, that it
was gradually dying out. and that
where q few years ago enormously
large plants were the rule, that last
year they were very small and meagre
and grew but few inches in height.
This is in line with what some of the
ablest botanists claim would occur.
They claim the plant will only flourish
upon land possessing saline properties,
and when they have exhausted these,
the plant will die out naturally for
want Of nourishment.
Our land must haye regular mine
Of salt. 1t is true they grow SO thick
that 1t is impossible for them to get
more than three or four inches in
height; thus some might think they
were dying out for want of Of saline
nourishment, but let them plow that
land over and they will find that it
WIS not that the land was too meaere
In saline matter, but simply that they
were so thick they couldn't grow lar
ger.
II this plant ever finds its way to
the sea coast, there 1t ought to flourish,

hand. II Is claimed that they only
last, and gov most luxuriously where
tue soil Is strongly impregnated.
Many smart suggestions have been
made in regard to exterminating them.
Some advocate raising heed crops.
This is good. but where would the
hoers come from, to clean all these
thousands of acres, yes millions of
acres, where the thistle now holds the
fort. 1t would take several men to the
acre, when you would have the pleas
ure next fall, of seeing them wearing
themselves out travelling across your
beautifully hoed field, scattering seed
by the million, which some lazy shift
less fellow let grow so miles away.
Many of these suggestions are quite
amusing yet made in good faith. One
man will want them pulled, another
build fences, another will advocate
grazing them down with sheep, never
dreaming where all the sheep were to
come from; another wants Uncle Sam
tn spend several millions of dollars in
eradicRting them. 1t would take one
man to every one-half acre of ground,
to make a clean job of it and he would
have to go over the ground once
week for three months.
This pest has, this year, got one of
the finest starts it ever has had, being
at least one month in advance of Or
dinary seasons and nothing will give
1t backset unless it is that some pest
should strike it. 1t is true that this
gigantic pest is easily killed when
smal but is terrible thing to eradi-
sate when gone to seed. Stock will
not eat them that has been properly
,alted aud kept. Milk is not fit to
rink and the butter coming from a
thistle. infected country will have
more or less of the taint, though no:
Until they are of about two months
growth. They double the labor on
,very farm in putting in our crop
hey diminish our yield and try our
patience in the extreme. You can |
urely count it that the fertility of our
oil is gradually being robbed by this |
Inpual but certain drain. They de-
troy our fences by lodging against
hem, thus giving the wind full pres
ure. The farmer has to either lay
lis wire down or raise it up 80 that
hey can go under or over.
The seed of this dreadful scourge is
urely being scattered all over our
road land, in the transportation of
rain, hay and stock. 1t will be but a
ew years when you can see thistles

Since the rain the threshers
find a good many stacks Of grain

of them are wet almost to the
ground, and that, too, in the cen
ter of the stack. We have had SO
many dry falls that farmers are
apt to get q little careless about
stacking; think that the grain will
be all right anyhow. It is better
ter to take the old Quaker's plan
always prepare for the rain, and
if it does not come nothing IS lost
BY being ready for it. IF the mid
die Of the stack is kept full all the
time, there is no danger Of the
water getting into it as the bun
dies slope somewhat to the out

cannot get into it except to run

From Gibbonsville.

A private letter received from a De-
Lamar man, now in Gibbonsville, Ida
no, gives a hattering account of that
prosperous mining camp. We take the
liberty of publishing the following ex-
tracts:
"a company here, called the Amer
lean Development Company, has just
completed one Of the finest mills in the
state. Capacity, $50 tons per day. 1t
is equipped with thirty stamps and ff-
teen Frue vanners. The ores require
roasting. The company is also putting
in cyanide plant and electric lights.
1t would do you good to see this big
concern. This company employs $50
men.
"Auother company here, called the
Cyanide Co., is building a mill which
will sutpass the one above mentioned.
It employs 100 men. There are several
smaller companies working here, and
more mills will be built next summer
These mines and mills are all in sight
of the town. The first mine I spoke of
is just above town and its mill just be-
low and six or seven four-horse teams,
each making eight trips day, haul the
ore through town to the mill. 1t looks
like bonanza times.
This is one of the prettiest places
for town ever saw in mining camp,
level ground to build on and plenty of
wood and water. The town is well sup.
piled with business houses, but nothing
overdone. There are three saw-mills
running here, and fine lumber sells at
from $40 to $12 Wood at 50 to S2.5
per cord.
at is good country TO live in. It is
new as far as prospecting goes. The ell
ovation is 1890 feet. All kinds of veg
etables grow here in'town and one can
see as fine flower gardens here as in
Boise.
"The old-timers, who were here in
the placer days of the camp, never
made many improvements.

and is good enough for me,U

DR.. Stoddart, Visiting Physician and
Representative of the Liebig Worlds
Dispensary, of San Francisco, in Idaho,
Montana, Washington and Oregon, will
return to DeLamar, in September for
wo days only. The many calls and large
number of patients contracted with for

This will be rare opportunity tomeet-
in free consultation, one of the greatest
Specialists of the 10th century, namely,
DR.. A. c. Stoddart, who has been ex-
aiming and consulting physician for
the Liebig World Dispensary of San
Francisco during the past Is years.
1t is well known that the Doctor has
treated the greatest number of patients
treated by any one physician on the
Pacific Coast, during that time. His ex-
perience in the treatment of chronic
and private diseases of men and women
has given him such knowledge that
few cases have been known to battle
his great skill.
Everyone requiring expert treatment
for chronic diseases of the Eye, Ear,
Nose, Throat, Skin, Blood and Repro
ductive or Nervous Systems, should not
fail to meet the Doctor during his May
visit to Idaho. Cut this out and be
sure and call on the date named. The
first months treatment will be free SO
that those cured may be able to herald
the good news to their friends and fell
low citizens.
Finest remedies for all complicated
diseases of men, forwarded from San
Francisco, by express, after DR.. stod
dart has made examination and pre-
scribed, thus enabling patients in De-
Lamar and Silver City to receive as
good treatment as if they made the
the journey to San Francisco. Home
