FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY J. X. II.

The man who pays his debts and
his taxes may be a blessing or
curse to the community. 1t depends
on what else he does. In making
this statement it is to be understood
that by the word "debt" is meant
the ordinary cash obligation which
a man incurs in the transaction of
his business. There are men who
appear to believe that so long as they
are not indebted to their neighbors
for goods purchased, or the munich
pality or the state for the last tax
levy they have discharged their whole
duty and nothing more can be asked
of them. But in reality a mans duty
to his neighbor is limited only by his
power to do his neighbor good, and
his duty to the community by his
ability to be of service to it. The
community in which the prevailing
statement is What do l get out of
it," is one which does not and can
not prosper.

| better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well told story is
welcome sunbeam in a sick room.
The world is too busy to care for your
| ills and sorrows. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smiles. No
one cares whether you have the ear
ache headache or rheumatism. Don't
cry. Tears do well enough in novels
but are out of place in real life.
Learn to meet your friends with
smile. A good humored man or VIC
man is always welcome, but the
dyspepuc is not wanted anywhere
and is nuisance as well. Above
all, give pleasure. Lose no chance
of giving pleasure. You will pass
through this world but once Any
good thing, therefore; that you can
show to any human being, you had
better do now; do not defer or neg
lect it, for you will not pass this way
again.
Can anything be more pleasant in
the busy hum-drrm of after years
than to permit your MINIS to wander
back to the days of school life; the
sweet memories and incidents that
will come up, the smiling faces and
pleasant countenances; the old school
house door that has so often admit
ted you, swinging back and forth on
it's hinges, the very walks speaking
forth of happy hours; while at your
side stands the noble teacher who
watched your every move and was as
much interested in your success as
! you We're yourself, AS these recol
lectiona come back to you whose
seheol lives have been spent in this
community, your eyes will moisten
as you realize those days are gone
forever. Never again will those days
return. You who for so many months
and years have been like one family
and participated joyousIs together in
the school room and playground have
doubtless pledged loyalty and faith to
the school. You now step out Of
school life into life's school and will
be scattered far and wide, but the
memories of your school days will
ever form the brightest link in your
chain of thought.

FEEDING OF THE YOUNG PIG
To DO It Properly is Both an Art and
Science and Well Worth
Studying.

It is both an art and a science to
properly feed young pigs, and is some
thing we'll worth any farmers time to
study. The most economical gains
that a pig ever makes are made while
he is young, and upon his early
growth and the proper development
of his digestive system depends the
economy and success with which he
will later be fattened. Hence one
must consider not alone supplying the
nutriments to make continuous growth
but supply such feeds as will develop
and prepare the digestive system for
the handling Of the kinds and quaint.
ties of feeds required in. the finishing
process.
When the pig is born it's digestive
tract is filled with a manure 1.-THE re.
suit of mucous %excretions probably,
called meconium. Nature has provid.
ed for the removal Of this by making
the first milk of the dam very rich in
oily globules which act as a laxative

WHEAT IN FAR NORTHWEST.
It's Value More Than Double That OF
Fruit, But Irrigation Rapidly In.
%creasing Latter.

In the district comprising the ter.
ritory where Washington, Idaho, Mon.
tana and Oregon join, taking in $780,.
600 square miles, the wheat crop for
1908 vas valued at $4,000, 900, and
the fruit from the same district was
estimated at SIG, 0G0, 900, writes Clar.
ence Z. Edmonds in American Re.
view OF Reviews. 1t is predicted that
wheat production in this vast terri.
tory will decline from this time on
while fruit production will increase
until it o~vershadows cereals.
What irrigation and fruit have
done for the great state of California
they are doing for the northwest,
this being evidenced by the great
rapidtty OF settlement noted in Ore
gon and Washington, where the pop
ulatlon has more than doubled in the
last eight years. With the increase
In population comes, necessarily, not
only a decrease in the wheat area,
but also an increase in home con-
sumption, thus %lessening the supply
furnished the outside world from the
surplus.
These are the conditions 10 be
found today in the empire lying on
the western coast of the United
states, from British Columbia to Mex
leo. The conditions are changing
with each year, and the day is not
far distant when all of the grain
raised in that vast territory will be
consumed at home and the world will
be called upon to supply a deficiency.

should be fed in racks; the threshed

There are 10000, 900 people in this

found on farms. The distribution
should be wide and not confined TO

PRINCIPAL ARID FARM CROP.
Wheat Is Now and Perhaps Always
Will Be Staple Article
Results in Seeding.

Wheat is now and perhaps always
will be the principal arid farm crop.
Fall wheat is always preferable to
spring wheat. From two to three
pecks an acre sown with a press drill
gives better results than more thickly
sown grain. Broadcasting grain is
not satisfactory in any way. During
four years of trial on the various arid
experimental farms in this state the
Turkey red wheat has given the best
yields of good quality wheat. 1t is
considered the standard of milling
wheats in the great northwest. The
Koffoid wheat also is an excellent va
riety and during the years of trial has
stood all the tests and yielded good
crops when most other varieties have
failed. 1t combines the qualities of
high yield, good quality, stiff straw,
does not shell easily and stands frost
and drought we'll. Other good varie-
ties are Winter Lasalle, Odessa, Gold
Coin, Blue Stem and Red Chaff. The
Durum wheats take the lead as
spring wheats. They are adapted to
grow in soil rich in plant food and in
a climate that is hot and dry. Other
good spring wheats are Sonora and
New Zealand.
