UNUSUAL STOBM.
Worst weather Ever KNOWN In
march In MORO w County.

The unusual storm that has pre-
vailed over a greater part of the
Pacific Coast for the past week has
been remarkable in many ways.
Here in Morrow county the past
winter has been only 50 in name
There has not been what could be
called bad storm. March opened
with every indication of spring
Children were out on the hillsidee
with flower picking parties gather
ing arm loads of butter cups and
other wild flowers that were spring
ing forth everywhere from the ef-
feet of the spring sun.
Saturday q north wind came up
; and ;ncra:sa saAd to great velocity :. 1,-
fore subsidipg. The cold north
winds swept through the pass Of
the Columbia river, carrying and
banking up the sand, which was
serious menace to railroad traffic.
This sand and dust was carried
in the atmosphere for many miles.
Sunday morning the atmosphere
was full of dust and hung in clouds
over Heppner, while everything
was covered with the falling duet
particles that had heen caused by
the winds.
Following close in the wake of
the wind storm came the white
tiger of the north, and from warm
spring weather the thermometer
suddenly dropped fully 70 degrees,
touching zero.
The people of Heppner we're TAX
en- unawares and bursted water
pipes were common all over the
city.
From present appearances Nor
row county people do not feel
alarmed over the results of the
storm, however, the weather is
still cold and the damage if any
cannot yet be sscertained.
The cold wave was accompanied
with a heavy snow storm. 1t is
certainly fortunate that the snow
came from the north. The wheat
belt is well covered. It ia reported
that in Sand Hollow, the snow
reached a depth of eight inches
In the G,oseberry country the
ground is covered a depth of from
eight to ten inches. In fact all
oyer the wheat country the ground
is we'll covered.
With the warm wea her previous
to the storm, wheat was growing
very rapidly. Grain was tender
and rank, and while not in condi-
ton to stand zero weather, still
the snow Will be great protection
and it is not likely that the crop
will be mater tally injured.
Stock interests are well pro-
tected. Stockmen have pl enty of
feed to carry them thr ough for
reasonable length of time.
The worst feature is the fact |
that the lamblng season is almost
here. In fact, few early lambs
are already coming and it will be
hard work to save them.
Early fruits will undoubtedly be
killed, but as the fruit here is of
little commercial Importance, not
much is thought of it.
The only fear Entertained is for
the wheat crop, and at present it is
thought to be safe.
The Oregonian has published a
very complete report of the storm
from all over the state. While
the headlines present an optim.
site view, still the fact remains that
damage will result
rom the severe cold weather.
In Wasco county, fears are in.
for the wheat crop
Early fruit will be Injured.
In Baker county the snow fall
was the heaviest for 16 years,
ranging from 19 inches in the low
ands to four and one half feet in

Fowls, besides being grain and meat
casters, are also fond of vegetables and
are benefited by the addition OF
green food to their diet. Whenever
possible the poultry runs should be
so arranged that the fowls will feed
themselves from the natural growths.
Poultry, like cattle, need good pas
turage, and the cost of their keep can
be reduced to the minimum if suit
able grazing ground is provided for
them. If the fowls are kept within
fenced enclosure 1t often pays TO
SOW a small quantity of oats and
peas and liberal amount Of red clo-
yer for the benefit OF the chickens.
Nothing is better than red clover.
It is healthful and nourishing, the
fowls relish 1t and nothing you can
feed them will do more toward keep
Ing them in good condition. Until
they can get green food for themselves
1t is well to give them a small guam
tity of cabbage, or mangels, fed raw,
or turnips boiled.-Thomas w. Lloyd
in the National Fruit Grower.

Choice of the Brood Sow.

The Iowa station in one OF its bull
ietins says that in picking out brood
sows people differ somewhat in their
Ideas. A few general points which
should always be considered are as
follows: Select SOW of good height,
depth and uniform width. Get one
that stands we'll on her feet and legs.
Size of bone and conformation of
feet and legs is an ill-important fea-
ture of the breeding herd. Do not
,elect a SOW that is too dropping in
the hind quarters, as such an animal
is almost sure to be crooked in her
hind legs, and thus is likely TO break
down on the same. The greatest diff
flculty with our hogs at the present
time is that most of them are lacking
In length and depth Of body, and have
not sufficient bone tos. carry their
weight A short-bodied sow will not
make as good mother as SOW Of
medium good length. The tendency
of all breeds at the present time is to
deteriorate in size, especially to de-
teriorate in length Of body and in size
Of bone. In addition to this, if you
are breeding Chester White swine it
is all important that you adhere
rather closely to the breed character
istics. OF course, the ultimate end
of all swine is the block; thus the
fat hog type must receive due consid-
Grafton. Too many men are breeding
hogs for fancy color markings, shape
of ears, head, ETC., rather then because
they have indications Of returning
profit to the average farmer.-Weekly

Sheep for the Farm.

The Shropshire breed of sheep
stands unsurpassed as an all-round
farmers sheep, adapted to all con-
ditions, writes a correspondent OF
Shepherds Criterion. Not only is the
Shropshire farmers sheep, but IL
is the rich mans sheep also. They
keep them on their large farms be
cause of their beauty and prolificacy
The Shropshire is the universal breed
1t is found in large numbers in Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, the United
States, Canada and almost every
where known 20 sheep growers.
Everywhere Shropshire rams are
used TO grade up the common class
of ewes And why is this so? 1t is
because they have proved themselves
to be the most profitable. Shropshires
are also very profitable when raised
in pure-bred focks. The ewes Of this
breed drop large number of lambs
and nurse them well, and as soon
as the lambs are partly matured
ready sale at good prices for them is
Immediately found. The ranchmen
buy Shropshire rams by the carload,
very large majority of the smaller
sheep growers use Shropshire rams,
and when you get the exceptionally
good ones there are plenty of pure
bred breeders willing to pay you well
for your product.
The fleece of the Shropshire sells
at Il very high figure. The Shrop-
shire produces the highest priced
mutton that goes on the market.
Time and time again have grade
Shropshire lambs topped the Chicago
and other leading markets. At the
leading shows, such as the lnterna-
tional, held at Chicago, Shropshire
wethers have always carried away a
large portion OF the laurels for cham
pion mutton: hence a very profitable
sheep adapted to most all conditions
and most all people.

To Make Successful Sales.

The fundamental principle on
which successful public sales are
built is the possession OF good stock,
not only having high grade of in
dividual merit, but in addition such as
answers the demands of the best
breeders with reference to the blood
lines involved, according to l.. E..
Ausman, writing In the Twentieth
Century Farmer. The breeder should
make it point to keep for sale that
kind of an animal and that strain Of
breeding that the public is buying
most freely and paying the highest
prices for. One sale is a good adver-
tisement for the next, SO good ami
mails must be the basis on which TO
begin.
After having stock of the right
sort the next thing is that they
should go into the sale ring in the
best possible condition. While they
should not, at sale time, carry such
a quantity of flesh as would make
them desirable for the meat market,
they will sell best If fat They should
be fed in a gradual way which shall
at sale bring them to the eliminating
point of highest bloom. This prepara-
ton H. one of great Importance, In
volving careful judgment and unceas-
ing oversight, as the bloom point lasts
but short time and too much fitting
is as harmful in appearance as too lit.

More Men Than Women.

There are 1,S40,2S0 more men than
women in the United States, and the
same proportion prevails in almost
every other country. The only ex-
ception is in Paraguay, where. there
are more than twice as many women
as men. This Is due to the fact that
some years ago, in political revolu-
tion and war with Brazil and the
Argentine republic, the men were al
most exterminated.

How Schiiemann Changed His Luck.

world, that he was pursued by III
luck in his earlier undertakings.
Mentioning the fact to friend the

he first inserted in trousers and coat.
Schliemann said he habitually insert
ed the right. "That is the cause OF
your misfortunes," said mis- friend
You have offended the left-hand fair

on you. Reverse your habit and see.'
"And,' said Scbliemann, in telling
the incident in his later prosperous
years, "you, see how it changed my
luck" This we contribute in refuta-
ton Of the dictum of the "Sun" that
"the left is inauspicious and the righJ
arm and leg have the right and the
best OF it,"

the packer must sell in competition
