CARING { PIGS
DURING SUM
business Should be Conducted in
Careful and Busaness-LaRe
Way for Ultimate
Successs
1eu A ]. LEGG.l

MANY farmers think that they can
not AFFORD to feed the pigs Literally
during the summer season. me pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves
in many instances and OF course 40
not make much growth but one may
see a pretty good profit in feeding at
the present high prices OF both iced
and pork.
The hogs viii just about live on
the pasture they can gather from the
field and what grain is given them
goes to growth and any one who has
tried it has found that only a mod
crate ration fed to the shoats on pas
ture will make a good growth through
out the season.
Early spring pigs OF any good preeo
can be made to average a pound OF
gain a day by the time they are eight
or ten months cid and a large part or
this can be made on pasture.
The pig that is fed enough food to
keep it growing rapidly from the
start to finish is usually the most
; profitable porker.
In some sections where there is SUI,
fcient waste crop to fatten the hogs
it may be profitable to allow the
shoats to shift for themselves.
However, usually the hogs that are
allowed to shift for themselves and
get fat on the waste are easy victims
of cholera and swiise plague. There
| is q section in the western part OF my
country in West Virginia where the
hogs are allowed the free range OF
the forests and that locality is visited
by cholera every year or two.
| There are quite as many hogs that
die from cholera there as ever reach
the pork barrel. Hog raising as a
business must be treated in business
way and if it is conducted without
1cost there is little profit.

ECCENTRIC FARM
WORK THAT PAID
English Gentleman Used Novel
Method OF Kidding Farm
of Injurious Potato
Beetle.
By ]. n. HAYNEs.)

On neighboring farm lived an Eng
fish gentleman who certainly had
some novel methods of working.
His farm consisted of some clay
lands. In the center of this farm was
very rich, black field that had for
merly been swamp.
The soil was mainly made up OF de-
cayed vegetation, and when drained
was as loose as an ash heap.
In this field he annually grew po-
tatoes and watermelons. When the
Colorado potato bug came around he
headed them off in this way:
He planted the potatoes In drills
and leveled the land smooth. When
the potatoes began to come up he ran
along the rows a cultivator and COW
cred all the young shoots under.
In a week or so when they made q
second appearance he did the same
thing, using q larger shovel on the
cultivator. This was done the third
time using single shovel plow which
left the rows properly killed UP.
The bugs never got chance at the
potatoes-get disguised and looked for
other fields to work on.
The covering Of the shoots seemed
to help, for when they were left to
the light and air they grew tren1en-
dously thrifty.
He raised watermelons and lots Of
them, but not for the usual purpose
they are grown.
He pressed the juice from the mel
ons, boiled it down in copper eyap-
orators to a fair syrup, and with this
syrup he used apples for thickening,
to make apple butter, and it was of a
quality hard to beat.
He supplied large quantities of 1t
to the nearby markets and at good
prices. The syrup was of finest quail
ity and much of it was used.

A method Of subsoiling that is at
tracing great deal of attention is
dynamite blasting. The claim made
for this practice is that it virtually
changes farm from 6 or S-inch lay

of the food in the lower strata made
available by blowing daylight into
them. The dynamite has three-fold
effect on the soil. It not only pull

An interesting discovery of Roman
remains was recently made at Walls
end, whose name, of course, marks
the end of the great Roman wall
which stretched across Britain. One
object found was the stone seen in
the photograph, showing how the Ro-

The round hollow In the middle would
contain water, in which the spear
heads would be dipped before being
rubbed on the cavities at the side.
Traces of the guard chamber of the

journalism as a Study

No field Of activity in these modern
times offers broader opportunities for
useful and helpful service than the
field of journalism offers. journalism
is big fact in modern life; sometimes
it seems that we do not fully appreci-
ate the power welded by the press Of
the countryit is power not always
wisely used, it is not always used for
the good il can do; but in the main the
newspapers Of America are clean in
most respects and do more good than
harm, and if that could be said of the
average citizen it probably would sat
lsfy the requirements of our imperfect
civilization.
The establishment of a.department.o of
journalism in the University of Ore
gon, following a similar and reason
ably successful experiment in the Uni
verslty of Washington, aud the assign
ment of Eric W. Allen, who for years
has been connected with this newspa-
per, to the new chair in the Oregon
university shows that the people in
this section of the country fully appre-
elate the power of the press and that
they are anxious to realize the maxi
mum of its power for good in modern
society.
Mr.. Allen is a young gentleman of
hne capacity; he has had practical ex-
perlence IN newspaper making; his
ideals are clean he is keen to the OPP
portunltles of bis new position. and IT
Is certain that 0regon's leading educa-
tonal institution will reap fair profit
as result of his services-Seattle
