OIL IN OREGON

of $40 aeres-making in all 4,2f0
acres OF the nsost promising oil
lands
Oil lands sell from $500 10 $1,000
per acre and even more. Hence
the large profits in oil investments.
In every oil district hundreds of
people arc TO be found who have
become rich by the purchase OF
500 or less OF oil stock.
The Baker x Malheur Oil Com
pany is ably managed by we'll
known men. Mr.. Myers, the prcsi-
dent and general manager, has
proven his ability and holds the
eonhdesce of all who know him.
The directors have decided to sell
a small block OF stock at 10 cents
per share. Every 200 shares repre-
sents about one acre OF land. In a
company that has no Indebtedness
and owning so much laiai. with
even limited production their
stock will become cery valuable.
This stock can be bought on the
installment plan, so that the small
investor can take advantage of an
offer that would otherwise be
beyond dis reach.
Stockholders will receive stock
for every dollar they have paid for;
no subscriber will suffer should he
be unable to meet all OF his pay
ments. This rule will be rigidly
adhered TO by the president. and is

and If it is not available they should
have a thin slop made Of water and
shorts. Corn meal is too fattening
and is poor feed for young pigs.
BY the time the litter is three weeks
old both the sow and pigs should have
the run of lot where they can get
sunshine, exercise and fresh grazing,
though the pigs should still have the
feeding place where the SOW cannot
come and should be fed regularly with
all they will eat of food which will
give them bone and muscle but will
not be too fattening. Shorts, ground
oats and peas are the best grain feeds,
and skim milk is worth more to pig
during the months before and after
weaving growth. Bran is So harsh
that it often causes irritation of the
bowels and is not a safe feed for a
pig under three months old Good
grazing will make the larger part of
the growth, but the pigs need grain
feed also to make them do their best.
With such grazing as will be afford

spring, together with skim milk and

The pigs will begin to eat when
they are about three weeks old, and
the more they can be induced to eat
the more rapid will be their growth
A feeding place should be provided for
them sdjoining the pen in which the
SOW is kept, and so arranged that the
pigs can go in and out at will without
being disturbed by the SOW. A few
grains Of soaked corn scattered over
the floor will soon get the pigs in the
habit of eating and they should be en-,
couraged to eat as much as possible.
AS dry corn will hurt the teeth and
make the mouth sore, shorts or oats
should be given in the place of soaked
coEn as soon as the pigs learn to eat
fairly well. When the pigs begin to
drink they should be given all the
skim milk they want if 1t can be had.

SELECTION OF COTTON SEED
Production of Early Variety Is Now
Absolutely Necessary to Get
Ahead Of Weevils.

Most of the over-wintered weevils
are out of winter quarters by the time
the cotton begins to set squares. A
race that means much and a race that
is watched by all the world then be-
gins. The cotton runs the race of it's
life to set squares faster than the
weevils can multiply and puncture
the squares. If the cotton is an early
rapid fruiting variety, the soil quick
making, the seasons ideal for the
growing of cotton, and the crop given
intensive shallow cultivation, it goes
out under the wire far in the lead
with bale or more per acre. But If
the cotton is late, slowfruiting va
riety planted on Tate" land, the rain
tall above the normal SO that frequent
and shallow cultivation cannot be
practiced the weevils soon destroy all
the squares and then destroy all the
bolls.
The production of an early cotton
is now absolutely necessary. We must
plant early rapid-fruiting, productive
cotton. We must either buy early
and rapid-fruiting cotton seed or Sc
iect seed from cotton plants with low
fruit limbs and short joints on the
main stem and fruit limbs. The ne
cessity for seed selection has not been
so apparent, but with the coming of
the weevil the interest in this work
is becoming intense. Many planters
have imported cotton seed from the
northern and northeastern edge of the
cotton belt. These seed have general
ly proven wholly unsuited to our con-
ditions.
The results from experiment sta
tons have proven conclusively that
we may develop early, rapid-fruiting
and productive strains of cotton by
careful seed selection and thereby
save ourselves great losses in the
weevil territory. The results obtained
show that one selection made from
early, rapid-fruiting, productive cotton
plants with low fruit limbs, short
joints, and continuous growing. long

tiers and stronger pigs than when thin.
This is especially true of young
sows, and with such feed as has been
recommended no SOW will become too
fat before weaving her second litter
The SOW will usually come in heat in
from one to two weeks after her pigs
are weaned, and, if she is to be bred
again, should be served at the first op-
portunity.
The pigs should be pushed as rapid.
ly as possible after weaving, for the
sooner they can be made to weigh zoo
pounds each the more profitable they
will be. Good pastures and good wa.
ter are necessary for health and max.
ing satisfactory growth, but in addi.
ton to these the pigs should have a
liberal supply of bone and muscle
making food. Shorts, ground peas
peanuts and other feeds rich in pro
tein, together with skim milk wher
possible, are the best feeds for growth
and an exclusive corn diet is the poor
est. Pigs will fatten rapidly wher
fed on corn alone, but the fattenins
will be at the expense of health ant
growth, and there will be many deaths
from apoplexy before the pigs are si1
months old.-Farmers' Bulletin No

Great progress has been and is be-

weeks old. and neither they nor the
SOW will hardly know when they are
weaned Pigs which have never been
encouraged to eat. and are largely de
peldent on their mothers milk for
food often receive severe check
when they are weaned suddenly. and
every day in which a pig does not
grow adds that much to the expense
of raising him. BY giving the pigs all
the solid food they will eat while still
sucking they become accustomed TO il

to separate them from the SOW at
about the end of the eighth week they
are so well prepared that they scarce

If the SOW has been well fed while
sucking the pigs she will have made
fair gain in weight during the last
month, and after the pigs are weaned
she should be given more fattening
food to prepare her for raising an
her fattening for market. When SOW
has an abundance of good grazing, and
not more than half her grain feed in
corn, she will not become too fat for
breeding. In fact SOW is rarely too
fat for breeding, although there is a
common prejudice to the contrary So
long as she continues in good health
and is making fair growth her fat
ness will not make her less prolific,
and she will usually produce larger lit
