ships in French Trade to Conform to
Regulations.

Ke9uiatlohSs
instructions have been received by
the customs officials of Portland and
Astoria authorizing them to remeasure
ali American ships that may visit
French ports. upon the application OF
owners or masters, in order that their
tonnage may conform to the regula-
tions prescribed by the French law.
The new regulation is optional with
owners. AS France has little to say
in the Pacific, there is no reason why
any of the American craft here should
be remeasured, as none of them trade
with France or with French ports In
other parts of the world.
All foreign vessels entering the CO.
lumbia river must pay tonnage tax un-
less they arrive I'VE times year or
more. The China liners pay this tax
fiye times each IL months. The French
measurement differs largely from the
Yankee rule. When vessel Is meas
ured in the United States lines are run
from stem to stern Just below her main
deck and on the keel and number
of measurements made crosswise from
her deck to the keel, the idea being
to determine her exact internal capac-
ity in cubic feet at the different heights
All Enclosures on deck are measured
also, but deductions are made for crew
quarters. galley, lockers. store rooms
and machinery space, but the deduc-
tion on the latter is on percentage
of the gross tonnage.
The French are more liberal in this
respect and do not include passenger
accommodations salons, dining-rooms
and other quarters. The Portland oil
Astoria officials have received no or
-ders from Washington relative to re-
measuring French vessels visiting these
waters. At San Francisco the officers
are carrying on the measurements ant
it has been found the Frenchmen' fal
short In tonnage and they have beer
made to pay the additional tax. Jus
why the rule is applied at the Cali
fornia harbOr and not here, the gov
ernment's representatives are unable
to explain.

KEEP AN EXACT RECORD.


All farmers should be practical
They should keep an accurate account
of all losses and gains. in fact an ac-
curate account Of everything done on

cages on three-fourths or more of the

farms to remain mortgaged.
The best way is never to go into

where 1t seems to be unavoidable. In
such case don't leave the account to
be kept by others alone; keep an ac-

auick Returns In PIGS.

There is one particular advantage
about pigs which makes them emphat-
ically the stock for the poor man to
grow, and that is the very quick re-
turns which they offer, by the rapid
ity with which they increase and
come to maturity. From one brood
SOW two litters of pigs may be sold
each year, numbering from six Ito a
dozen in each litter. No other kind
of stock will make so large return
In so short time.
Cottonseed meal must be fed with
great caution to pigs; in fact, most
feeders insist that 1t should never
form part of the swine ration. In
some Alabama tests, shotes averaging
143 pounds were not hurt by eating a
quarter of pound of -cottonseed meal
daily per 100 pounds live weight for
81 days. 1t seems that the younger
the pig, the more susceptible he is to
cottonseed meal poisoning.

ming will save dollars in the end
