WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, July 1.-Receipts fol
the past week have been: Cattle 1850
calves sos, hogs 2121. sheep 7117, and
horses and mules 2S.
| The supply Of cattle coming on the
market this week has just about sup
piled the demands of the trade, there
fore the market remains firm and
prices steady at tops quoted here
tofore. A good many California steers
on the market, well finished. medium
weights, around 1850 lbs, easily
brought 1925, a remarkable price for
grass cattle Buyers are anxious to
secure good cattle of this type and
willing to pay the price. One lot Of
extra choice heifers brought 1915,
creating a sensation in the COW mar
ket; good COWS brought from IS to
$5.25, with very few offering.
In the face of good receipts and
fancy prices prevailing. the veal divis-
ion deserves a separate paragraph
this week, Although calves are be-
ginning to come in in carload lots,
prices remain steady at former tops,
$7.75 was paid for several cars of
good, light, well finished stuff, while
the heavier classes range from SO to
$3.50.
Hog market continues to advance,
with very few local swine in evidence.
Best light hogs brought $7.15 this
week and heavy hogs advanced an
other notch. now being quoted at from
Sc to s6s5, owing to quality.
For the past six weeks we have
been experiencing a very heavy run
of mutton, much of 1t poor or medi-
um quality, being thin and half fat.
While the market has declined some
what during this time, local author
tiles predict that the heavy end of the
run is over and that prices will ac-
cordingly advance. Feeders will soon
take their sheep to the mountains for
the summer, where they will not be
available for market purposes, thus
causing a lighter run. In fact. lambs
have already shown an upward tend
ency, one extra choice lot bringing
$3.50 this week as compared with
top Of $5.25 last. Ewes are quoted at
$3.50 to So. Wethers SO to $3.50.
Very little change is apparent in
the horse market. drafters and light
drivers and delivery horses stlll in de-
mand. One sale worthy of special
nentlcn was that of team of draft
ers for $3.50.
Following sales are representative: |
Steers, $3.50 to 1925; hcifers. $5,75;
cows, S. to $685.; calves, $3.50 TO
$3.50; bulls. $4; stays. $3.50; hogs.

PROBLEMS in POULTRY
REASONS WHY THE BUSINESS IS
NOT ALL PROFIT
Oregon Farmers Give Results OF Their
Varied Experiences in Raising
Chickens.

CORVALLIS. June sO.-"The three
problems in poultry raising that trou-
bic the farmers of Oregon more than
any others" says Professor James
Dryden. of the o. A. C. poultry de-
partment, ARE, first. getting the eggs
in winter; second. lice and mites; and
third, raising the chicks.
Last week we gave the farmers
opinions as to whether there was
profit or not in poultry keeping. The
answers to this question this week
are designed to show why there is not
more profit in the business. Out of
S33 answers we received the follow
ing replies: 62 said the problem was
how to get eggs in winter; so. lice and
mites; Sc, raising the chickens; "a,
hawks; 6, coyotes; "a, other vermin;
4, rains or wet weather; 20, feeding:
8, Matching; 5S, miscellaneous diff
culties.

Nowadays one OF the most import
ant elements OF success In the con-
duct Of large business enterprises Is
a comprehensive system OF cost ac-
counting. A recent number OF the
American Lumberman. OF Chicago,
contains a page write-up and illus
trations OF the forms used for keeping
time and making payroll distribution
in the ONCE OF the Dallas Lumber &
Logging Company Of this city. The
forms were devised by w. J. Kaerth.
chief OF the accounting department of
the company. and are considered es-
pecially well adapted TO the purpos-
e for which they were Intended.
Commenting upon them, the editor Of
the Lumberman says. They are the
most capaeious and adequate that
have been published and discussed.

The present season has been not
able one as viewed from the stand
point OF the lumber dealers of the
county. for 1t is said that the number
Of local orders for building material
exceeds those Of any previous year.
All over the county the farmers. espe-
cially. have been building houses and
barns and various farm structures ct
a rate that would indicate. more than
the usual amount OF local prosperity.
The demand for long distance ship
ments Of lumber has fallen on. and
had IT not been FOR the extra home
consumption the mills would have had
a light run.

About two years ago. A. Bitner. an
aged German resident OF North Dali
las, was taken sick. and being in des-
titute circumstances. the County
Court contributed the necessary mon
ey for medical and other relief for
him until his death, which occurred
shortly after. Last Friday Mrs. Bit
ner, his widow. aged 20 years, APP
peared before Judge Ed +. Coad and
insisted on repaying SIG, the amount
which the county had expended.
Honest to an extreme. she could not
rest under the stigma Of being In debt.
and little by little she had saved and
scraped enough together to pay the
debt which she considered she owed.
such cases are 50 rare In the routine
Of the court house as TO be more than
ordinarily noticeable.

Making Them Lay.

To make the hens lay in winter is
apparently the real problem; and yet
its solution depends upon the solu-
ton of other problems. 1t is not
merely question of caring for or
making the hens lay. The problem
goes back to the making of the hen.
If the hen were made right there
would be little trouble in making her
lay How to make the hen lay in
winter resolves itself largely into a
question of making the hen.
Il am inclined to think that the 56
who said that the raising of the
chicks is the hardest problem, came
nearer hitting the nail on the head.
To get a profitable egg yield under
any conditions the flock of layers
must be frequently renewed. The old
hen doesn't pay. For commercial
purposes it seldom pays to keep her
more than two years. This means
that in a few years the farmer has
raised several generations of fowls,
and any mistake in the breeding or
raising is very soon evident To be
successful poultry raiser must be
able to maintain offspring with the
same vigor and vitality as the parent;
otherwise there would soon be no
eggs in winter because of lack Of con-
stitutional vlgor in the stock.

Other Problems.

"But it is not all in the raising.
There is probably more in the breed
ing, and it is not so much matter of
the breeds No matter how they may
be raised, fed and cared for, some
hens won't lay, because they have not
the breeding or the laying capacity.
On the other hand, some will lay,
almost in spite of neglect; that is a
question of breeding"
One farmer replied to the question,
that the problem with him was ITO
make the exit large enough for the
hens, but too small for our valuable
cattle dog, and to have open front
house and yet be protected from
skunks, hawks and wild cats"
Another complained of the problem
of shipping and marketing; another
has difficulty in getting on the mar
ket the kind of feed he wants; and
still another finds his problem ITO
keep the chicks growing from the
time of Matching until ready for mar
ket and to keep them free from dis
ease"
