are posted low, close to the water

OREGON A
GREAT HOG
COUNTRY
DIR. WITHYCOMBE SAYS THE
WILLAMETTE VALLEY HAS
IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR RAIS-
ING HOGS AND all OTHER
STOCK.

From letter written by DR.,
Withycombe, director of the Oregon
Agricultural Experiment Station, the
following extracts are taken
Oregon is pre-emiently a hog
country. No section can excel this
state for quality of production when
properly finished on homegrown
feed. Barley or wheat are the ideal
fattening feeds for hogs. At the
Oregon Experiment Station in feed.
ing experiments conducted for the
past ten years, the average amount
of wheat or barley required to pro-
duce one pound gain was four and
one-half pounds. 1t was also ascer-
tanned that it cost approximately
from three and one-half to four
cents per pound to grow a pig to
fattening age. This must be done,
however, largely in the open field on
alfalfa, vetch, clover or rape.

from alfalfa even higher than this
Estimating that it costs four cents
per pound to grow the hog and when
ready to be fattened he weighs 150
pounds makes a total cost of $6.
After consuming $50 pounds of

$50 pounds of wheat or barley
$11.5O. This gives a gross return
to the farmer for his wheat of $1.23
a bushel, and for his barley $1,2S
per bushel.
Field peas are also valuable fCr
hogs. These may be fed off without
harvesting and will yield return

$40 to $40 per acre. In alfalfa
growing sections hogs can be grown
very cheaply and finished economic.
ally upon barley"
Beef Also.
"The Northwest offers unlimited
opportunities for producing high
class beef. Despite the fact that
corn may not be available, other
food stuffs equally as good can be
produced in great abundance. Good
killing stuff can be secured from
well-cured or alfalfa hay, There is
little waste in feeding well-cured al
falfa hay cut at the proper season. |
but when overTipe or coarse it's
value will be increased from 90 to 25
per cent by running it through a
cutter.
Some grain or succulent feed
should be fed with hay to fatten cat
tie. In practically all the stock
feeding districts the field pea or fol- +.
der can be grown. If these are en-
siled and fed in the following ra-
tion-15 pounds of alfalfa or wild
hay, 80 pounds of corn or pea silaga /
and pounds of rolled barley, a gain .
of two pounds per day should be
secured for period of 80 days. Il
should be the steer in prime condi- .
tion and thus add from to cents
per pound to the value of his initial
weight.
Another excellent feed for fat
tening cattle is combination Of
alfalfa and beardless barley hay.
These may be grown separately or
in many instances be grown together
adyantageously For example, fields
where alfalfa is not thickly SET
should be thoroughly disced with a
spike-tooth disc in the spring and
beardless barley drilled in and the
whole cut for hay, This combine
tion is excellent for putting beef cat
ue in the very best condition for
market

Low TAX LEVY FOR
1911 SETS RECORD
Commissioners Made Public Today
That the Levy for the Coming
Year WouId be Only
IS Mills.
HOW THEY FIGURE IT
Say That Even Then City Will Have
$4,000 More to Expend Than
This Year-Road Tax Re-
mains Same.

The tax levy for 1911 made public
today by the commissioners is the
lowest that has ever been assessed
against the property owners of Keo-
kuk. The tax is thirty-six mills on
twenty-five per centum of the assess
ed valuation of all real and personal
property which is subject to taxation
for general municipal purposes. The
road tax is fifty cents on 500 on a
twenty-five per centum valuation,
which is the same as last year.
The commissioners declare that the
levy for 1911 will bring into the city
$4,000 more money to run the city
than this year because there will be
no old debts to pay off.
The records are not at hand for
all Of the years back. but the fact
that the present levy Is the lowest in
the history. of the city is undisputed
by nearly all. Here is the levy from
1902: 1902. ~ mills; 1908, 40 mills;
1904, A mills; 1905, AZ mills; 1906.
40 mills; 1907, 40 mills; 1908, 40
mills; 1909, 40 mills; 1910. 40 mills.
In 1883 the tax levy was 6S mills.
It means that the tax payers OF
Keokuk who are often hard pressed
because of the heavy taxation to
meet municipal expenses, often in
Cured by too lavish an expenditure
of funds by those in control. will be
burdened much less than ever before
