EASTERN OREGON.

Weather.-Much cooler weather has
prevailed during the past week. The
mean temperature for the week averaged
SO degrees, which is IA degrees lower
than for the preceding week and IL de-
grees lower than for the corresponding
weEk of last year. In the Columbia
River Valley, the maximum tempera-
ture averaged So degrees, the highest
being 92 degrees and the lowest 80 de-
grees; over the Plateau Region, the
maximum temperature averaged so de-
grees, the highest being "a degrees and
the lowest 70 degrees. The minimum
temperatures range from 48 degrees to
66 degrees. Occasional sprinkles of
rain fell, amounting to from trace to
OLA of an inch.
Crops.-The change in temperature
was most beneficial to animal and vege-
table life. Harvesting and threshing,
which were slightly suspended during
the heated period, have been resumed
with increased activity, and today finds
the work farther advanced than is usual
at this season of the year. Harvesting
operations will continue for the next six
weeks, though by the middle Of Sept
ember the bulk OF the grain will be Sc
cured. The reports continue to be good
concerning the quantity and quality Of
the grain. The grain has commenced
to move to tidewater. Owing to the
rains of the fore part of September, 1897,
suitable provision has been made at
many of the shipping points and on
ranches for the protection of the sacked
grain. The warm weather ripened all
the spring-sown grain-in places too
rapidly and the result is, it is some
what shriveled. The grain crop, as a
whole, is thoroughly satisfactory.
The second cutting of alfalfa is about
finished, and the reports from the stock
country indicate full supply of hay for
winter use.
The fruit cropi is in excellent condition.
Heavy shipments of peaches continue
the weather has been very favorable to
the proper maturing of peaches. Prunes
are coloring. Bartlett pears continue to
be shipped. The crop of watermelons
is very large.

| G. e Blake of Mt. Hope and d. w.
Muck of Haven, were late arrivals on the
market with hogs of very fair grade, but
too late, considering the day. for hand
ling on the days trading.
Both the stock yards and the Dold
packing house yesterday were light in
business done. The many employees of
! both institutions were given the privi-
lege to lay of and vote, and the result
was only a light amount of business
transacted in either place.
The shipments of the Dold Packing
company yesterday were two cars OF
straight contract stuff and two cars from
the local department. The call for fresh
meats and products from the sausage de-
partment are daily growing and all di-
visions of this concern are daily crowded
to their full capacity to keep up with the
standing orders.
! There was no partisanship in the yards
and packing house voting privileges yes
! terday whatever. All the employees were
granted the opportunity to go to their
respective voting precincts and cast their
| ballot, and no attention paid to which
way they would vote. Bloated monopolies
and all such meaningless platitudes were
/ in this instance for once absolutely un-
known.
BEST SELLING WEIGHT OF HOGS.
Recently Secretary f. D. Coburn of the
Kansas Board of Agriculture wrote a
whole list of questions to the different
pork packers and received very fine line
of answers in reply. One simple question
but a most pertinent one was AT about
what Qive) weights do you prefer the
. - ~
The answers did not differ very much
but did not all agree. If you take the
answers and classify them you find an
occasional preference for hogs 175 to 100
poun6s .ne for hogs 800 to 400 pounds in
WelgER such demands are only occa-
siona1s and special. The general answers
show that the desirable weights range
from 200 to 30 pounds, if you come down
still closer you find the favorite weights
to be from rs to $50 pounds. If you
come down TO a single figure for packer
, you have to place ii at go pounds, il you
wish to know the favorite butcher"
weight II is % pounds. The editor of this
paper has asked the question hundred
different times as to what weight stood
the best show to top the ST. Louis mar
ket, and the answer that came most fire.
qUently was 225 pounds. Once or twice
when light hogs were in demand the 225-
pound hog took a back seat, but it was
not far back; once or twice when lard
hogs were wanted above all others the
225-pound hog would only come within
or 10 cents of the top. but ninety-five
days out of every hundred and nine years
out of ten the 225-pound hog is the right
weight and will surely top the market
il it is of the right kind. For farmers
this is a simple and easy proposition.
Hogs of the ideal weight can be made
in less than ten months If the light
| hogs are on top, ship to market early,
if the favorite weight is heavier at the
time the hogs are ready a month of con-
tinued feeding will soon reach it, never
theless the best selling hog on the aver
age market is one that weighs not far
from 25 pounds.
