Raise More Hogs.

Report comes, apparently well
authenticated, that the large pack
ing firm of Swift 4 Co. of Chicago
and Omaha, will shortly establish
a slaughtering and packing plant
at some point on the coast, either
at Portland, Tacoma or Seattle
A representative of the firm as
been looking over these points and
has made the plans Of toe company
known. The only doubt existing
is whether III live stock-cattle
and hogs-can be had IN sufficient
quantities 10 keep large establish
ment supplied. Upon this oues-
ton there should be no doubt.
Hog raising is an increasing indus
try in the Pacific northwest, and
when it becomes known that IA
market steady and large enough to
absorb the live product has been
established, production will in
crease much more rapidly. The
era OF mixed farming has come. and
those who once had one crop now
devote much time to diversifying.
They formerly used all their encr-
gies about four months in the year
on sowing, harvesting and market
ing wheat. Many of the old wheat
farms are now stocked with hogs.
cattle and sheep.
Camas Prairie is already becom-
ing famous as a hog producing
country and many of our farmers
are realizing the large profits in
this business and are going into it
more extensively.
The immense wheat Yields not
only produce a very cheap feed.
but there is always sufficient waste
or down grain after harvest to 90 a
long ways toward putting hogs in
for market.
The demand for pork and it's
product is so great that there is no
evidence of future over-production.
at least not for many years.

Poultry Raising.

Constitutional yigor in the breed
ing of chickens is good
thing to have, but it should
be accompanied by other valuable
characteristics. The matter of the
age will be essential in the selec-
ton of breeders and by keeping a
close watch on the best age to keep
in the flock there will be an eve
open for the layer and individuals
possessing valuable characteristics.
Utility points will be looked after
in the breeding stock in the poultry
yard as it is in the live stock barns.
What we need is more good stock
in the breeding pens and Netter
and more careful system of select
ing them each year. When this is
carried out with the same diligence
that is exhibited in live stock then
will the scrub go out and not till
then. One other thing will be
interesting to know by the average
poultry keeper who does not think
much about his poultry breeding.
1t is cross-breeding. Indiscrimi-
nate cross-breeding will most sure
ly produce mongrels of the very
worst type. So many feel safe in
such mating on the ground
that the males are pure bred and
the females are also pure bred,
and no mistake can be made. Not |
so. The offspring of cross-breed- /
ing will not be the equal of either
parent and for that reason it is not
to engage in this practice.

FOR GOOD ROADS.


discussed or is of more importanc
to the public than the cues
ton OF how to get good roads
Everyone has his own opinion a
to how the work should be accom-
plished but no plan as yet advanced
seems to meet with general favor
Many believe that the state should
take the matter up and aid the sew
eral counties in the construction Of
roads. The Lewiston Tribune
favors this plan and in support Of
It's position has the following to
say; The localities that get appro.
pritations from the state for their
roads and bridges and for new
buildings and improvements are
not apt to complain of public ex-
travagance. Similarly when the
salary of a favorite politician is
provided by the state instead of by
the locality there is not much
yrumbling in that particular place
over the creation or retention of a
hnecure office. Hence the more
appropriations an administration
makes along these lines the more
support it may reasonably expect
rom grateful partisans. AT the
same time the great bulk of the
people must do their own road and
bridge work and go without special
appropriations of any description.
therefore the ey penditure of public
money for local purposes is unequal
md unjust, but since the practice
las apparently come to stay it may
'btain a clue to the solution of the
DAD problem. The last legislature
nade an appropriation of SIS, 900
or a bridge over Snake river at
Veiser and $40, 900 for road into
.hunder mountain, provided the
Interested people raised an equal
mount. Now why should these
ocalities be singled out for a favor
ism of this kind and a similar
ivor be denied all other localities ?
Why not make the rule general ?

good policy for the state to offer
premium in the shape of liberal
clip to all sections that will adopt
permanent road system and enter
pom its construction under the SUI
ervision Of the state engineer
he state could, for instance, agree

)r ten years, or as long as the
ollcy proved satisfactory, TO be

ould expend twice as much of

WON A BIO SUIT.
ID. A. Beamcr Secures Title To
Buckw alter Estate.

DuShWaiter ESthte.
BY recent decision Of the United
States Appellate court ID. A. Besner
wins one Of the most important land
cases that has ever be N tried from this
part Of the slate and secures the title to
what 10 known as the Buckwalter estate
consisting of 1920 acres in NorthforlS

circumsta aces according to the Lamar

Three or four years ago, l.. <. and e..

decision directing, the defendants, IL. C

70 the complainant, ID. A. Beamer. The
decree iur her says, that in case the
c, nstocks fail TO make this deed, the
court itself, will vest the title 10 Beamer,
by decree.
This settles the matter definitely. ID.
A. Beamer now becomes the absolute
owner of this splendid estate. Consider
Jog the fact that realty 10 this county
has at least doubled in value since the
Comstocks secured this land, it is easy
to see that there is a snug fortune in the
case for Mr.. Beamer.
The tract Of land has, for the past two
years, been the cynosure OF all real
estate eyes, here IN Barton County. aud
now eve'y one will understand th at Mr..
Beamer is the sole ard undisputed
owner. There will be no further ques-

W hom they must do business with.
