Portable and growing. Our neighbor's
pigs were scattered out in individual
hog houses and though he tried to
keep them we'll bedded, the pigs were
scrawny and chilled, a third of them
dying off.
For the next three months the pigs
were fed two barrels of slop per day
and five ears of corn apiece. The

our feeding at one end of the house
where were arranged permanent
troughs and feeding floor. The corn
was fed after stopping. We did not
water the pigs, the slop taking it's
place. After feeding, the doors were
opened and the pigs driven out to
exercise or lay in the sun on the south
side of the barn. We kept tankage III

The pigs grew rapidly. The slop
and tankage aided in growth while the
corn kept up degree of fat. BY the
arst of March the shoats weighed on
i the average 40 pounds. They were a
uniform bunch and growthy. The
weather was moderate and they were
out most of the time. Now we had
to get them out of the house in order
to make room for the early March !it'
tiers that were coming on. At the
same time the gifts that we wanted
to keep were separated out, leaving
the bunch of 46 shoats to be fitted for
the early market. These were put in
a small lot with an open shed. From
this time on we laid the corn to them

time they were on full feed we were

they could eat and grew fast. AS the
warm weather of spring came on a
wealth of fat covered them. They
fattened easily and quickly.
We shipped the 46 head on June II,
receiving choice prices and total
sum for the lot Of $1,247.52. The ex.
penses incident to shipping, yardage,
commission, ETC., amounted to about
$50. Although no accurate account
was kept Of the feed put into them.
we estimated that $50 bushels Of
corn had been fed which at so cents
was worth $475: something over two
tons of shorts at $26 per ton equals
500 The buttermilk bill amounted to
$3.50 and tankage so, making total

the receipts of s1,247.5O left a total
profit of $780, In addition to this we
still had nine fine gifts that we had

Shamel of Orange Judd Farmer for the
best written agricultural article.)
Last June we sold on the Chicago
market 46 head of hogs at profit Of
approximately $3.50, or $3.50 head
These were winter grown hogs, far
rowed the middle of September and
cared for under suitable conditions
until turned off as nine months old
shoats. They weighed on the average
29O pounds and brought the long price
of 1895 per hundred. Our profits were
nothing remarkable but coming from
winter grown stuff they are of in
terest On neighboring farm there
was a similar bunch Of hogs being
raised. Though started under favor
able conditions they came out in
the spring as lean, stunted shoats
which required practically the re.
mainder of the summer to fatten for
market.
We attributed our success to our
methods. We had good stock as a
foundation, the lineup being eight

ing the summer, following the cattle
and roughing it, But by the first OF
September we had them all in and
were feeding them rich slop feeds Of
shorts, buttermilk and tankage, to-
eether with soaked oats. We fed the
oats in the morning, pail full at a
time and before stopping. The slop
was fed twice a day, three-fourths OF
a barrel at each feed. 1t was made of
one bushel basket of shorts, one-half
pail of tankage, one third barrel OF
buttermilk, and water. The milk came
from a nearby creamery, costing us
cent per gallon. 1t proved to be a
great supplementary feed.
Now in regard to shelter, and we
consider this, as an Important reason
for our raising thrifty bunch OF
hogs. We have centralized hog
house. 1t is built in side hill with
south exposure. 1t is 20x1O0 feet in
size and has two stories, the upper
story being used for feed, straw, etc.
Below are adjustable pens, with cen.
trail aisle, stove and feed cooker. Here
during the entire winter we kept the
pigs, allowing them access to the
outdoors. but always having a placs
of shelter and warmth. The pigs from
the first were we'll bedded and thrived
well in these sunshiny pens. Square
bodied, we'll boned little fellows, 1t was
a pleasure 10 see them grow
The first three weeks the pigs de-
pended largely on the sows for feed.
Then as they began to eat from the
troughs, we made a creep where they
might eat at will. Here we fed them
thin buttermilk slop and little
shelled corn. We never gave them
more than they could eat. When six
weeks old we weaned them, having
previously castrated the male pigs.
BY three months the bunch of IS pigs
were eating barrel of slop each day,
together with half bushel Of shelled
corn. They We're weighing close to
so pounds each and were a husky
bunch of pigs.
With the sows out of the way, the
pigs were given complete possession

THE NEZPERCE NATIONAL
FOREST JARED FINE
No Fires of Any Consequence
and a Great Deal of
Work Done.

The past season was one of the
best for several years for the
Forest officers to get trails, cab
ms, telephone lines, wagon roads,
and other improvements con-
structed. On account of the pre-
valence of frequent rains, fires
were very few and the time u.s.
ually devoted to fighting disaster
Gus forest fires was put in to
good advantage in the construc-
tion of the many needed improve
ments within the boundaries of
the Forest.
The very severe fires of 1910
helped materially in two ways.
First by the experience of 1910
the forest officers were well or
ganized and would have been
able to have COPIED with the fire
situation in much better shape
this year than last, and it was al
so responsible in a measure for
being able to put greater num-
Der of men in the field. Should
one not familiar with the work
of the forest officers happen to
be going through the national
forest and see the great improve
ments in evidence, he would stop
and wonder who was keeping up
the trails, constructing new ones,
and what enterprising citizen was
constructing the valuable tele-
phone lines and who was the
hardy pioneer building the fine
cabins which are not infrequent-
ly seen.
This is all the result of plan
and the carrying out of such
plans requires organization. The
organization of the forest service
has been improving materially
from year to year. 1t is no long
er the belief by those familiar

with the work within the nation

nothing but fish and hunt. A
few years ago invalids seeking
out of door life applied to the for
est service for employment for a

men are now employed and they
are required to actually work 8
