Be Careful About Feed.

Pigs that are too fat are apt to have
scours or thumps. and you should
watch the feed of the SOW carefully at
first. Do not made 1t too rich. Pigs
will begin to eat when they are about
two weeks old, and they should then
receive some feed in addition to their
mothers milk. 1t is best to provide a
pen In which to feed the pigs which
they can enter. but the SOW cannot.

Why Hogs Like Coal.

1t Is supposed that material of a

to stimulate the flow Of digestive
Juices. Coal is not digested. but acts
as an absorbent and as stimulant.

MORE TIMBER FOR SALE
Forest Service to Handle National
Forest Timber.

The forest service has just begun to
advertise the twelfth large lot of ma
tional forest timber offered for sale
within the past nine months. Alto
gether it has advertised since July 1,
1912, the beginning of the present ifs
cal year, about 2,5OO,OOO,0OO feet, and
has closed contracts for the sale of
1,7O0, 100000 feet. The latest adver-
tised sale is of approximately $4,000
900 feet of saw timber in the Rainier
national forest, about 35 miles from
Tacoma.
In Offering national forest timber for
sale the government first makes an es-
innate of the quantity of timber on
an area which would naturally form a
single logging unit, and which offers
attractive opportunities for the lum-
herman. The probable cost of logging
and manufacturing by capable lum-
herman is then estimated. On the
basis of these estimates combined
with the figures for market values and
freight charges the timber is ap-
praised and then advertised for sale
with the appraised value as a mini
mum price.
The minimum prices set for the
| Rainier timber vary from so cents tC
$3.50 per thousand feet, according te
the kind of timber. These are stump
age prices-that is, the purchaser buy:
the trees on the stump and does al
the logging, but pays according to the
board foot measure of the logs.
One of the provisions of the con
tract which the successful bidder TO
the Rainier lumber will enter into viii
be that if the market prices advanc
materially the governments chief fol
ester may, after the sale has run tire
years, require a reasonable readJusi
ment of the stumpage prices up to a
added so cents per thousand. The oil
ject of this stipulation is to proven
loss to the government-that is, t
the public-and an undue profit to tn
purchaser through long-term contract
entered into on rising market.
For the Rainier sale the cuttin
period allowed is only five years, sine
, the quantity of timber involved-al
proximately 100000 board feet
; does not call for an extended oper
, ton. Usually purchasers must begi
; operating the year of purchase and CT
E a stipulated amount each year.

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

With the exit of the potato indus
try comes that of raising filed peas
and this year will see probably twice
as large an acreage planted to peas
as any previous year.
A report from Freewater, Ore, says
that because of the weather strawper-
ries on old patches are damaged at
least so per cent and the remainder
are set back a week. The larger part
of the crop is yet to bloom ana Is
considered safe. Damage TO tree
fruits is practically nil.
Fewer potatoes will be planted IN
the vicinity of Pullman this year imam
for several years past, the low price
which prevailed last year having dis
couraged the farmers. Last year po-
tatoes sold nearly the entire season
at about SO cents sack, whlch is
about the actual cost of production.

opening of the Panama canal. Millers
will begin to look for new fields to
develop and dispose of their output.
They will not confine themselves en-
tirely to the Orient and the Califor-
mia markets.
