Excess Since January Is 3.53 Inches
March Of 1894 Was Wet Month
With 3.75 Inches.

It is rather a noticeable fact that
Walla Walla county farmers are re-
framing from complaining Of lack of
moisture for 1904 crops but instead are
freely predicting that unless the pres
ent wet spell soon gives way to clearer
weather that growing grain is likely
to be damaged by the excessive moist
ure and that spring work will be
greatly retarded. Even the casual OBJ
server who pays little or no attention
to meteorological conditions knows
that it has rained some this month
and this fact becomes apparent by a
glance over the records at the weather
bureau.
Observer Newman this morning re-
ported an excess of precipitation OF
353 inches since January LIST with a
total rain fall of 40 inches for March
which is the greatest precipitation fol
this month ever recorded at the lOca
weather bureau The nearest APP
proach to this figure was in 1894 Whel

IDEAL TYPE OF HOG.
Every Breeder Should Set Up stand.
ard of His Own and Work Up
to 1t Consistcntly.

In visiting many herds and focks Z
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact that there is no uniformity
of type in them. Each man has all sorts
of types and kinds in his herd or flock,
says Prof. G. E. Day, Of Guelph. Tho
result is that they breed up a flock or
herd that will never be of any use in
the country. Each young breeder, and
old one, too. for that matter, must find
out what is the right type; then set
this up as an ideal and work to it. You
cannot reach your ideal at once. Il
may take ten, fifteen, twenty or even
forty years to do SO, and perhaps you
may never reach it, but keep it ever
before you, never lose sight of it for
an instant, nor let anything else drive
1t away You will find that the man
who makes success of breeding is he
who sticks to his ideal with, as it were.
bulldog tenacity. and though he may
not become famous, he will at least
make name for himself in his sphere
OF life. l would emphasize the impor-
lance OF getting the right type fixed in
ones mind as an ideal. There is type
OF hog that gives the best bacon, and
II the production of bacon hogs is the
ideal man has set up for himself, then
he should get as near to the ideal type
as possible. Some breeds of hogs come
much nearer that type than others. In
Judging of the length Of hog it is not
enough that he should be long from tho
nose to the tail, but it is of special inn
portance that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. have heard some
people say that it costs more to pro-
duce the bacon type of hog than the fat
kind. want to give you this for yoa1r
encouragement-it has never -
proved that it does cost more. Our e q
periments show very conclusively thai
1t does not necessarily cost more to,pro-
duce pound of gain in good bacon
hog than in fat hog, and that good
bacon hog is an economical producer.

CORN FEED PROBLEM.
IT Cannot BE Ignored Any Longer By
Swine Raisers Who Are Try
ing to Do Well.

A dozen years ago the farmers of the
corn belt that were engaged in the
raising OF hogs would consider no other
feed for swine except corn. They be-
gan to feed the pigs corn about as
soon as they were weaned and contin-
ued to feed them corn till they were
butchered. Corn was very cheap then
except in occasional years when there
was partial corn crop failure. In
those days corn was not only cheap, but
freight rates were high and it cost a
great deal to get the corn to market.
Ihere was saving to the producer in
marketing his corn crop in the shape Of
pork. Since that time there has been
great change in the position of corn
relative to oats and other grains There.
are many commercial uses to which.
corn is now put that formerly were not
dreamed of. 1t now seems likely thai
the general average of corn prices will
rise from year to year, responsive to the
increasing demand and the restrictive
area OF country in which corn can be
grown The future is likely to see the
oat and barley crops more largely used,
in the finishing of swine than is.
dreamed of at the present time. At any
rate we are about at the end of feed
ing pigs on whole corn diet. We can
not now figure out profit with such a.
course of feeding. For long time yet
hogs that do not follow cattle will be
finished on corn, but we may expect
to see that finishing period grow con-
stantly shorter. Men will also realize
that a change to clover and grain other
than corn will give them some benefits
in the way of increased stamina in their
swing as we'll as more fecundity. The
corn feed problem is one that cannot
be ignored longer, but is in course of
solution by every swine raiser that ia;
trying to make money.-Farmers' Re-
view.

hand and thrust INTO the aperature,
then the whole covered as before. The
boy in Fig. 1 IS evidently chopping
these pieces of wood. Behind him is
a pit which has been burning for some
time.
After the PIT has been burning for
week or ten Gays (hard wood requires
a longer time than does pine), The pro-
cess of drawing" the coal begins. OF
course the pit has settled, so that it
now is nowhere near it's former size.
The ''coalers" with large rakes, draw
the coal into concentric circles, foot
or two apart. The object of this is
to allow the fire to burn entirely out
of the coal, and it must be watched as
closely as before; in fact, it must be
watched all night. Buckets of water
are kept on hand and from time to
time the liquid is used to extinguish
fire. After the coal is cooled thor
oughly it is placed in a rough shelter
made of logs or other coarse material.
For this purpose a utensil in shape
like huge dustpan is employed. Now
the coal is ready to be marketed. In
olden times it used to be cried through
the streets, aud sold from house to
house, or carried directly in large
wagonloads to Newburyport or Ports
mouth. Now it is more frequently
sent By carloads "Coaling" is quite
a profitable business. The average pit
yields about 1000 bushels, and this is
sold for from Is to 20 cents per
bushel according to the quality of the
coal. Sometimes it is sold by the cord.
Alder makes the best coal for forging
as it gives an even heat. Hemlock is
liked the least, because of it's ten
dency to snap. Charcoal burners are
a very happy set of men. At night
the camp rings with mirth and jol-
lily. Stories are told, songs sung,
and when one is hungry eggs are
boiled, potatoes and corn roasted, and
occasionally in the day time the woods
are foraged for toothsome gray SOUR
rels or partridges.-M. o. Poore, in
Rural New Yorker.

CHARCOAL PITS.

cylindrical opening The whole struc-
ture is then covered with layers of
sweet fern, or a similar wrapping, in
order to prevent the dirt, which is
afterwards put on, from Sitting
through. This process of busting"
is followed as far as the shoulder"
of the pit, and from there up the struc-
ture is turfed. Vent holes are made
in the sides of the pit to act as drafts.
They are made in two rows, a foot or
two apart, and are opened or closed
according to the direction of the wind.
Birch bark, or some other inflammable
material is thrust into the opening at
the top, and the whole pit will grad
ually be on fire. The opening is COW
cred and the pit must be watched day
and night to prevent an outbreak If
blue smoke is seen it is an indication
that at that point danger must be
looked for. If not attended to, hole
will be made, and the whole structure
will burn rapidly. For this purpose
shorter pieces of wood are kept on

&c. Ahead OF the weeds.

In attacking the weed problem do not
wait till the enemy is in possession and
then try 50 drive it out. Get in ahead
of the weeds with a good seeding of
some cultivated crop that will come I'D
quickly and cover the ground we'll and
smother out the weeds. Buckwheat is
one of the very best crops for this pur-
pose. because the first pair of leaves
that comes up forms canopy that
completely covers the ground and so
doesn't give anything else much chance
to grow. AlMos. any grain or cultivat-
ed crop heavily seeded down with grass
or clover will have very good effect in
killing on. wseds.-Prairie Farmer.

HORSES IN WINTER.
They Need Regular Exercise and RAJ
tions Lighter Than Those Given
in Busy Seasons.

A certain amount of exercise is neces-
sary In the healthy wintering of idle
horses, and it is economy to give If
Some are inclined to give quite good
deal OF exercise. i. e.. by allowing them
a run every day the weather will per-
NIT, either in large lot or in a pas
ture. In cold weather, if snow is not
flying, a horse will exercise freely. and
the ground. being frozen, will do no
damage. 1t will, perhaps, be best to
stable them at night when bitter cold;
but there are those who do not, and
claim to get good results from their
methods. However, it is probably bet
ter that horses should be In stables
during cold nights and stormy days.
Idle horses do not need the feed that
working horses do. If one has plenty OF
good clover hay they will scarcely need
anything else to go through the winter
with in good shape. In the absence
of this. shredded corn fodder is an ex-
cellent substitute, but in feeding either
it is we'll to give about a fourth ration
Of grain. Good bright wheat or oat
straw may be fed for roughness partly
and give good results. When straw il
fed the amount Of grain must be I'M
creased one-half. 1t is poor policy to
let work horses. when idle In winter,
get poor, as then in spring. when need
