The farms In this section being, as rule.
small, favor more intensive systems of
farming. Stock are usually more domesti-
Gated than they are in the range districts,
for instead of being grown and in open
field or yard, they are usually stabbed or
permitted to run under a shed during
winter.
The comparatively large herds Of cattle
are usually found on land which is too wet
to cultivate, but the scanty, unnutritfous
heritage Of these untmproved pastures will
satisfy the owners for a brief period only,
for the inevitable high price Of beef will
prove an incentive to the owners to re-
claim these lands, by systems Of under
draining. Beefgrowing in this section Of
the state will be largely relegated to the
small farms. and will constitute an i'm
portant part Of an intensified system Of
husbandry. The widening gap in the dim
inishing ratio of the number Of cattle to
our population portends that prices of
beef will go skyward. The future was
never brighter for the stockmen in this
section than it is at present. With bet

The only school building in the city that

it impossible for anything of the kind to

Portland, Ore, Sept. 14.-The Cascade
Range divides the state into two grand
physical divisions, known as eastern and
western Oregon. The former is largely
a semi-arid district, but also contains
large area Of very fertile soil, mainly of
volcanic origin. This region the home of
the bunchgrass, in the early history Of the
state was almost wholly devoted to stock
raising, but is at present a great wheat
producing section. Although range hus-
bandry Is still practiced there, the develop
ment OF farm conditions has appreciably
restricted this system Of cattle growing:

DDS Of old.
This physical division of the state ne
cessitates the adoption of systems in 40
cord with the existing conditions. For ex-
ample, the popular method for growing
stock In western Oregon would, in a meas
ure. be almost totally inapplicable to the
industry In eastern Oregon. Hence this
article will deal with the subject from two
general standpoints.
The HorsebreedIng Industry.
Oregon is noted for her superior horses
far and near, and the two prominent fac
tors which contributed to the building up
of this reputation are as follows:
First, the connlendable enterprise Of
the first settlers OF this state in bringing
with them the best stock they were able
to secure.
Second. the unsurpassed soil and OIL
t11atdo conditions which rendered possible
the highest physical development Of the
horse. Because Of the spirit Of securing
the best, so we'll marked in the early set
tiers, which has ever since been charac-
teristic Of the horsefanciers of this state,
now we can perhaps boast of having
horses which are as we'll bred and good
individuals as can be found anywhere
Eastern Oregon is pre-eminently the
nome or the speed horse, because the
peculiar contour Of this section, its vege-
tation and pure air combine to produce
horses Of marvellous powers of endurance.
Horses canterinG over the hills and down
in the. valleys, feeding upon the most
nutritious grasses known, develop won
derful lung power and the very best of
limbs and feet. The good qualities Of the
bunch-grass are we'll known, while the
1ndonnitable energy and the great powers
of endurance Of the horses Of this section
are proverblal. Some Of the gamtest ra ce
horses that ever looked through a bride
were reared on these >bunch-grass hills
The cavalry horses which do the best
service on the battlefield come from this
section This points most certainly to the
advantages this part Of Oregon offers for
the breeding of the best race horses as
well as horses for general work. The
phlegmatic breeds, when taken to this
section after few generations undergo
a radical transformation They discard
their lethargy, are reduced a little in size
but develop E1vacity, which is a greater
compensation for the former loss.
This section is perhaps not 50 well
adapted for producing the ponderous draft

Repeated experiments have demonstrated
that with a good breed Of hogs, gain of
one pound Of live weight can be secured
from four and one-half to five pounds Of
wheat. This at the present price Of
hogs, will yield the farmer q gross return
Of SO cents for each bushel Of wheat fed,
or an increase Of about SO per cent above
the present commercial value of the
wheat. The item Of hauling to the ship
ping point and freight charges to market
will add something more to the right side
