HOG RAISING IN OREGON
VIM Schulmerich Recommends
Feeding of Alsike o nd r ape.

Wm Schulmerich of Pennington,
Ore, writes as follows to w. Il.
Conan, general freight and passenger
agent, S. p. Co., on the subject of
the profitable raisfng Of hogs;
l will give my experience in raising
and fattening hogs, which has proved
to be the most profitable stock | have
on the farm at present prices of pork
and bacon. l have the hogs that are
slaughtered in the fall and winter
farrowed in March or April They
are pastured in April, May, June and
July on alsike clover. l find alsike
preferable to red clover as it is eaten
with more relish by hogs and cattle.
The end of May or first of June field
is sown to rape. The land should be
finely pulverized and pounds of seed
sown broadcast per acre. The seed
should be narrowed in with peg
tooth harrow and the land rolled or
clod-mashed. The rape can be pas
tured all fall and winter, and the
shoats will be in fine condition to fat
ten.
Last summer / pas.ured AZ shoats on
two acres of rape for two months.
The shoats kept in growing condition
all the while. This plainly shows the
value of rape for hog pasture. Iwould
recommend alsike clover for spring
pasture in the Willamette Valley and
alfalfa wherever it can be grown.
Alfalfa hay has about the same feed
ing value as wheat bran and makes an
excellent winter ration for stock hogs,
when run through feed cutter, with
little skim milk added
Peas and barley mixed make the best
ration for fattening hogs that have
used Five pecks of each shold be
sown per acre. They ripen together
and can be harvested with bind
er, and yield from 40 to 60 bushels per
acre.
The year 1901 / kept account with
12 hogs. When put up to fatten they
averaged live weight 70 pounds each.
They consumed an average each of 45C
pounds rolled barley, and 300 pounds
SKINNED milk in 60 days. When
slaughtered their average weight
dressed was 1G1 pounds. The meal
was cured, and the RIBS, lard and
bacon sold for $2Ol 80. Value oi
shoats and feed consumed, sos co.
Net income, SlO6, so, besides the oifal
l have gone into detail in this to show
what can be done when the product il
finished on the farm.
In conclusion / will say that farm
ers in western Oregon should try the
clover and rape for summer feedinl
and grow peas and barley for fatten
ing hogs. At present we have a mar
ket for mapy more than are produced
II we increase the production oi
hogs it will not be long before w'
have a first-class packing establish
ment in our midst Then we will b.
able to compete with the East il
their own domain by furnishing then
with a better article than corn fec
bacon. Yours respectfully,

alluded to the letter IF the German Emperor
which is said to have been introduced into some
of the private papers in the Dreyfus case.

Emperor by name and accused NJ. Millevoye,
the Nationalist leader of using the supposed

of which had been established, in his speeches
for election purposes. These remarks wrought
up the Chamber to a great pitch of excitement.

TESTING RUSSIA.
Ne7c Treaty Designed to ProUe Her
Good Faith.

Washington, April 6.-It is practically ad-
mitted here that the new commercial treaty be-
tween the United States and China has been in
one phase especially designed to test the sound
ness of Russia's promise to maintain the open
door of Manchuria. Ever since Russian ocCupa-
tion in 1900 the province has been practically
governed by the Russians who have regulated
all external trade. American exports of great
value have entered Manchuria, and as the state
Department had no mind to lose that trade TO
any other nation 1t challenged Russia's purposes
and received specific promises that the open DOOR
shall be maintained. The provision in the treaty
now under negotiation declaring Moukden ana
its port. Taku Shan, at the mouth OF the 1alu
River open to foreign trade affords the oppor-
tunitN for the test.
