One of the severest rain and
electrical storms ever seen in
this part Of the country swept
over parts of the country last
Wednesday night, doing great
damage to growing crops and to
meadows where the hay was still
in shock. Considerable fencing
is reported washed away along
some of the smaller streams, and
many fields of corn were badly
damaged by the wind. The riv-
er overAowed its banks Thursday
and much corn in the lower bot
toms will be a total loss.

Hog Breeding

success in the establishment of a
high class herd Of hogs is ability
to select. from the young stock
produced on the farm, the prop
er animals to breed from. 1t is
here that the manwho is a good
judge of swine has an immense
advantage, for not only can he
select his animals better, but he
can select them earlier. Select
the breeding stockton good indi-
viduality, but select these good
individuals from large and uni
form litters, from sows that were
good mothers, andEfrom the ami
mails that thrivedwell from the
start.
In the large breeding herds of
the country thereis seldom in
troduc, d mu III oltSide blood as
the breeders prefer to practice
some inbreeding to running the
risk of getting animals that will
not mick well-with their herd.
For the ordinary kFeeder or be-
ginner these precautions are un-
necessary. For them it is safer
to get a boar of different blood
than torun the risl<iof lowering
the vitality Of the herd.
Uniformity amo,g the animals
selected is very important, 1t
goes deeper than the surface and
includes every partofthe animal,
the digestive system the circula-
tory s. en-, the nervous system,
and more than all, the, reproduc-
tive system. Not only should the
animals look alike. but they
should come from animals that
have been bred along the same
lines and With the same object in
view. Uniformity ia quality, con-
stitu.i9n, and conformation are
comparatively easy toobtain, but
to determine the arlformity
in breeding, one mst lgo back

Agricultural College to Begin New
Work Next Fan in Milk Production
Method

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis. Ore.-A new course in milk
production is to be offered by the
dairy department of the oregon Ag-
ricultural college next fal. Few col
leges separate the manufacturing
and production features of the dairy

decided to offer two separate courses
so that students may specialize in
either branch of the industry they de-
sire. or take both at once.
The new work Will take up in de-
tail the care, management breeding
and feeding of dairy cattle to the end
of gaining the largest possible milk
production, and will also give the
student a thorough knowledge of the
history of purebred dairy cattle.
The college hopes in the near fu-
ture to be able to establish in con-
nection with this work dairy DEM
onstration farm of about so acres on
which the students can gain actual
practical experience of the manage
ment of a dairy business 1t will be
made entirely self supporting in time
as all of the feed for the cows will
be raised on this tract, where they
will be bred, grazed and cared for as
on any commercial dairy farm.
The equipment of the daily labora-
tories has just received the addition
