but that she would live longer and be
more productive in advanced years
The young SOW often grows until
after her second or third litter of pigs
Then Is the period when maternity
tells on an animal the most If to the
physical drain Of giving birth to pigs
and sucking them is added the stunt
ing effect of too light feeding the
young SOW cannot possibly attain her
highest development This will not
only affect her future earning power,
but will also affect the profits in her
pigs. They will to some extent inherit
her undersize and weakness. and the
future stock will be small and poor.
If the young SOW is kept In good,
round flesh until after full maturity
she will have chance to develop into
a large mother animal and be able to
transmit her size and strong vitality
to her offspring. If she carries an
abundance of flesh and some fat nearly
equal to that of the prime finished hog
for market she will have a surplus for
the draining weeks Of maternity and
not become so poor ut any time that
her system Is materially weakened
1t is much easier to maintain a SOW
in good flesh than to restore ii after
it has been lost, and it is better 10
every way for the animal. A good

STATE LAND UNDERVALUED
Inspection Shows Enormous Gains in
Footaee Of State College Timber


Footaee Of State College Timber
Pullman-In his report to the re-
gents and president of the college
Professor George L. Clothier. head Of
the forestry department, gives the re-
suits of his cruise last summer Of
14,21Ss acres of the state colleges
lands situated in Cowlitz county. In
one phase of his investigation Profes-
sor Clothier made comparison of
standing timber recorded by the state
cruise of 20 years ago and his own.
Section Il, In township TO- consist
ing of $40 acres, was estimated by the
state cruiser to bear 24,b00.000 board
feet of timber. In his cruise Clothier
and his assistants found 62,491 900
feet Eleven forties in section 20, of
the same township, had been estimat-
ed at 25,70O,000 board feet. The col
lege cruise shows a stand Of 4,582, 900
board feet Eighty acres in section
"a, township 10, were found to contain
1887 900 feet, against 2.S50,000 shown
in the older state cruise.
The above figures and others along
the same line were submitted by Pro
fessor Clothier as evidence that in the
past there has been tendency to un-
dervalue state land.

FEEDING YOUNG S0WS.
An Abundance Of Nutritious Food
Needed For Development.

Neeoeo = or OoveioPmeuSs
1t is held by most farmers that the
brood SOW must be kept in thin flesh.
Following this rule, which is good In a
way, many farmers allow the sows an
insufficient amount Of feed, and hence
both SOW and pigs suffer, writes W. h.
Underwood in the Iowa Homestead.
Also the young SOW farrows before
she is mature in size. and through light
feeding she never attains the size and
breeding capacity that she would had
she been given larger amounts OF feed
during all her growing period.
The SOW for several well understood
reasons should not be kept too fat, es-
pecially at narrowing time. She has.
however, large demands placed upon
her and hence requires large amounts
Of feed to sustain normal vitality. She
needs much feed during pregnancy for
the development Of the unborn pigs
and for her own vital needs.
After the pigs are born, during the
sucking period. the SOW requires an
extra large amount OF nutritious feed
In order to furnish full how of milk
for the little pigs and maintain her
own flesh.
Too often the SOW at the close Of the
sucking period becomes poor and de-
pleted in strength. Frequently she is alb
soutely exhausted and requires many
weeks to regain flesh and strength. II
it Is possible to regain all the loss.
There Is no doubt but that this fire.

Fall Born Lambs.

There Is ample evidence to support
the contention that the best sheep de-
velop from fall born lambs that are
dropped during the early part Of Oc-
tober, writes D. Fl. Dacy In the Iowa
Homestead. At this time the weather
conditions are quite ideal for the rapid
and promising Development Of the
lambs. In addition. at this season OF
the year, destructive parasites are
prominent by their absence. By the
following spring the lambs are nearly
half grown and are in tiptop shape to
go on to luxuriant pasturage- On the
other hand, IL they are sold as baby
lambs during the winter they usually
bring top prices.

the form of snow storm, which later
turned to rain and still later to heavy
sleet. with continued falling of the
temperature.
Grain traders are apprehensive OF

WILMORE'S DIARY.

]. w. Wilmore, the venerab BILE
Lynden stage driver. claims credit
for having travelled more miles over
the roads of this county than any
other person, in given time. He
has driven the stage between Bell
/ agham and Lynden for eight years.
During the first five years he made
one round trip day, excepting Sun
day. and during three years he
averaged three trips week.
The round trip distance between
Bellingham and the Gem City is
thirty miles, and Mr. Wilmore fig
ures that he has Travelled at least
65,734 miles in making the trips.
At this rate he has covered t.4e
distance around the earth twic-
with ,734 miles to the good on
the third trip. and he expected to
complete the distance necessary 70
make a total of $1,000 miles, as he
only lacks 9,246 miles. At the rate
of thirty miles day for each
week day he would have covered
the distance around the world three
times in nine years. He is nearly
IS years of age, and despite his
three-score and fifteen years, is
comparatively hale and hearty. Mr.
Wilmore is not a believer in the
Osler theory, for he says he eX.
poets to pass many milestones on
his life road before answering the
final summons. He AYERS that the
wear and tear of work makes
man rugged and strong. He has
bounced over the puncheon and
corduroy roads, planks and gravel,
and says the bump of the stage
made him strong. i
To make accurate weather nota'
tions, showing climatic conditions
rain, snow, sunshine and clouds, as
well as temperature twice day
morning and evening, day in and

care to perform, yet this was done
in 1908 by j. w. Wilmore, ven
cradle citizen of Lynden, aged II
years.
His diary shows complete recort
of weather for each of the 366 days
OF 1908. His notations were indit'
ed as regular as clock work. Al
6 o'clock each morning he noted
the temperature and at O'CLOCK
y. In. he did likewise. The days at
mospheric condition. precipitation
etc, were also carefully jotted il
the book.
