sists of magnificent administration
building and a smaller building for
the school rooms, shops and gymna-
sium, which will be occupied in the
spring of 1910. The contractors
were Southwick & Headrick, gentle
men who have had great deal of
experience in the erection of public
buildings, having to their credit some
of the finest public structures in the
state. The new Deafmute School is
located on the Oregon Electric rail-
road, within the city limits, where
the children will have chance TO
see and learn a great deal by obser.
vation of what is going on in the
beautiful Capital City. Seeing
things is a vital part of the educa-
tion of the deafmute, who must learn

ulated on the splendid provisions
they have had made for their care
and comfort in this new institution.

ern Oregon is not a good country in
which to produce hogs and while it
may seem presumptious to contradict
old residents, l have seen other sec
tiOns with less advanta geS, change
from non-producing to producing
areas. when the Stock Yards indus
try was started at Fort Worth, Tex
as, the owners were told by farmers
and bankers and others that the en-
terprise was doomed to failure, as
the people had never raised hogs,
that it was not a hog country and
that farmers could not be induced to
give their attention to this industry.
1t was deemed favorable however, to
try and an educational campaign was
instituted which resulted in success.
1t was uphill work but it was main
tained and under less favorable mar
ket conditions and poorer advantages
for breeding and feeding, the final
result was that from 10000 hogs per
year in less than ten years the sup
ply approXimates a million annually.
More attention is devoted to hogs
than to sheep or cattle for the rea-
son that they are a source of more
profit to the farmer and an absolute
necessity for the maintenance of
packing houses which cOngregate
around such stock yards as we now
have at Portland.
Following the thought about Ore
gon's availability as a hog producing
country, the testimony of men who
know is worth considering. The
Oregon Experiment station states
that no section can excel this coun-
try for quality of production when
feed. Barley and wheat are the ideal
fattening feed for hogs and in feed
ing experiments conducted for the
past ten years the average amount
of wheat or barley required to pro
duce l lb. gain was 4 ~ lbs. 1t was
also ascertained in these experiments
that the approximate cost per pound
to grow a pig to fattening age was
31a to 4 1ac. This can be done
largely in the open fields on alfalfa,
vetch, kale, clover or rape. Pigs
grazed on clover during the summer
have given a return growth of over
$40 per acre and from alfalfa even
higher than this. ESTIMATING that
it costs 4c per pound to grow the
hog and when ready to be fattened
his weight is $50 lbs, his total
cost is $500. After consuming 45O
lbs. of wheat or barley, he should
weigh $50 lbs, worth at &c per
pound is $17.5O, thus giving return
of $11.5O for 45O lbs. of wheat OF
barley. This gives a gross return to
the farmer for his wheat of 1853 pei
bushel and SIPS per bushel for bar.

This institution has been located
for some years about five miles east
of the city, between the Asylum Cot
tage Farms and the State Reform
School. 1t has been in charge of
superintendent Tillinghast, a gentle
man expert in the training of this
class of defective children. Before
coming to Salem, he had IL years
experience in institutions in the
states of Missouri, Montana and
Kentucky. He has been at the Ore
gon Institution for four years, and
was brought up from childhood in
this class of educational work. Both
his father and one brother have
served as the heads of such institu-
tions.

"A pupils, is served by 13 employees,
and has faculty of six literary

$4,000 for the support of the insti-

There is no limit to the opportu-
mites for live stock raising by the
farmers of Western Oregon. He can
raise any kind of crop, has a climate
that permits of breeding and feed
ing live stock in the open practically
everfy month in the year. From
every standpoint the Willamette Val
ley and all of Western Oregon is s.
section of diversified interests and
while the demand for finished live
stock has not always been as great
as it is now, it is a reflection on the
business udgmjent of the farmers
that the railroads north bound do
not carry trainlOads of fat cattle,
sheep and hogs to this market every
day. The raising, fattening and
marketing of livestock under nearly
every sort of market condition has
at all times been the most profitable
branch of the husbandman's endeav-
or. No one crop system, which ne
cessitates the selling of product at
a given harvest time, is free from
the danger of price manipulation. 1T
is a matter of experience that when
a wheat crop is harvested, or fruit
crop gathered, prices are lower than
at earlier or later dates and the
business advantages of marketing
live stock is that it can nearly al
ways be held for a change in the
market. Another thing in it's favor
is that it can be prepared for sale
every month and the market for liveT
stock as represented by such centers
as the Portland Union Stock Yards is
open for business and does business
every commercial day in the year.
Climatic conditions in Wsetern Ore
Son are similar to those in England,
Ireland and Scotland and the chief
energy of the farmers of those cOun-
tries is devoted to the production
and fattening of live stock. Corn is
an unknown quantity but they pro-
duce as fat animals and as finely fin
ished and favored meats as there
can be found anywhere in the world.
The farmers of Western Oregon have
almost at their door the highest
averaged market in the United
State and yet the packers and butch
ers of the Pacific Northwest, nearly
all of whom are represented by buy
ers for regular and occasion sup
plies at the Portland Union Stock
Yards, find it necessary to go to the
Missouri river for hogs and to Mon
tana for sheep and cattle in sufficient
numbers to supply the demand for
fresh meat in Portland and the other
cities of this section. California to
the South surpasses Western Oregon
in the matter of beef production and
the greater part of the hog supply of
Portland comes from Idaho.
1t is frequently stated that West

full agriculture in the middle states
where cutivating the soil has been
reduced to an exact business science
is that the hest method of selling
grain is to send it to market on four
legs, and while wheat at $1.00 to
$1.25 is attractive, $1.53 in the
shape of pork is somewhat better
Field peas are also valuable for hogs.
A Washington packer is authority
for the statement that the finest
pork he has ever handled came from
hogs fed on field peas. Barley and
roots and field peas constitute the
animal food crops of England and
Ireland and if they are profitable
there they certainly should be
profitable here. Field peas and root
crops may be fed off without har~
vesting and will yield a return from
the gain of the hog of from $40
to $40 per acre. In the alfalfa
growing section. hogs can be grown
very cheaply and finished very eco
nom!cally on either wheat or barley.
This country is settling up with
great rapidity. City and country
population is growing rapidly and
prosperous. The new comers accus-
toned to the good meat of the CEN
trail or eastern states are demanding
a like article here. A butcher in
Portland states that there is no COM
plant about prices if they can de-
liver the quality but that there is q
lot of complaint about the quality.
There is one feature about the live
stock industry in Western Oregon
that occasions surprise when market
prices at Portland are taken into
consideration. That is the tendency
of the farmers throughout the coun-
try to slaughter and to dress for the
Portland markets cattle, sheep and
hogs and in nearly every instance
coming under my observation, these
animals are sold dressed for less
money than could have been secured
on the hoof by the shipping to a
central market. Another poor busi-
ness method is to sell carlots of live
stock in the country to buyers repre-
senting packing houses. The packer
who buys at central market such
as we have at Portland, can mani
festly pay better praceS for the rea-
son that his expense of buying is less
and moreover, he does not find 1t
necessary to carry, under heavy feed
expense, a sufficient quantity of live
stock to warrant the continuous run
ming of his plant. In order to buy
in the country, the packer must
maintain a corps of travelling buy
ers and the price he pays is fixed
after taking into consideration the
items of expense of shipment and
expense of feed and travelling eX-
penses mentioned above. There is
no reason why the meat interest at
Portland should go to the Missouri
River or Montana for supplies. Every
class and character of animal food
supplies can be grown in Western
Oregon and it is a severe reflection
on the business acumen of the farm
ers of that part of the state that
they do not prepare themselves to
