FARMER BUYS
/ A FINE PIG

One OF the best pigs ever brought in
to Clearwater county arrived Saturday
from Moscow. bought from the Uni
versity Of Idaho BY w. II. Shaw, an
Orofino farmer, who is making de-
cided success of hog raising in. this
locality. The animal IS four months
old, registered, and OF the Poland
China breed, costing SIS, and is some
pig"
While Mr. Shaw is not an extensive
hog raiser, he is most successful one,
as will be seen from the following facts
which he gave the Republican few
days ago. Mr.. Shaw said
Last spring | got litter OF pigs,
and from them | have marketed $l4S
worth ofpork. That is going some,
and shows that pork paysi in Clearwater
county. 'Oh my farm near Orofino |
raise corn, Is acres last year, and
clover, alfalfa and wheat, all of which
howell. have experimental enough
Ito prove to my satisfaction that there is
money in raising hogs here, and have
Invested in d thoroughbred boar be-
lcause it pays to raise the best grades
sof stock"
The hog has rightly been called the
mortgage litter, and one of these days
the farmers of Clearwater county are
going to wake up to this fact. Nature
hasyichly endowed this great empire,
the Clearwater valley, with all that is
necessary for the economical and sue
cessful raising of livestock, and the
time is not far distant when hogs and
dairy products will be among the lead
ing. exports of this section. What they
bre doing in Idaho county can be done
here, with the increased asset here of
corn. There is no reason why Orofino
should not ship out thousands of fat
hogs every year. And there is no
reason why, in return for these hogs,
several hundred thousand dollars in
real money should not come back to
our farmers from the sale Of hogs.
! Where the farmers are not able to
fbuy blooded bears, let them 60 together
land buyione for general service among
limited number in ueighborhood.
"A few good sows will do for starter,
; and with little care, and little COM
mon sense, every farm will, in short
time, have blooded herd. This ap-
plies, not only as regards hogs, but
equally with cattle. The thing really
needed is the grit to try.

which melted prospectors to make
greater efforts to disclose valuable de-
posts of mineral. The satisfactory
prices received for copper, silver and
lead, during 1912, undoubtedly more or
less influenced the activity OF the pros
pector during the past season. What
ever the motive that encouraged the
miner to seek new fields of wealth, the
fact is apparent that Uncle Sans Nat
ional Forests are being explored con-
siderably for precious metals.
Four hundred and thirty-four min
eral claims were examined by the two
mineral experts Of the Forest Service
during the open season of 1918. This
indicates that the prospector is taking
advantage of the opportunity guaran-
teed to him by law, to open up mines
within the National Forests. The min
eral examiners accomplished much
more this year than usual, because Of
the exceptionally open season extend
ing up to December 15.
In spite of the favorable weather,
the examination OF II groups had to be
postponed, since the applications for
patent were made too late in the win
ter to permit of satisfactory inspection
of the claims. This will delay until
spring patent proceedings on these
claims, since it is not practicable to ex-
anime mineral claims while the ground
is covered with snow. Applications for
patent should be made prior to October
l, in order to avoid delay.

HELPING OUT PASTURES By
S0lLlNG CROPS
JARED VAN wAeENEN. JR.


Thoughtful dairymen realize that.
while In northern states cows are In
the field five months. yet there are
only about six weeks or two months
when pasture alone is sufficient TO en-
able them 20 do good work. so pro-
gressive dairymen are adopting some
plan of supplementing pastures and
thus maintaining n better dow Of milk
throughout the year. There are vari-
ous ways of doing this. Merely feed
ing grain in connection with scanty
pasture is expensive and unsatisfoc-
tory. The cost is too great. Besides,
what IL needed Is some form of fresh.
succuent food rather than dry grain.
IL is possible TO plan n succession OF
soiling crops which maintain a con
stant supply of green food throughout
the summer. He may plan rye sOwn
In the fall to furnish green rye in
early spring. This may be followed
ten days later by green wheat, which
may be followed 10y alfalfa. which can
be fed until the first cutting OF red
clover When the clover begins TO
harden plot OF peas and oats will
just be coming into head. and IL there
have been two or three sowings Of
these a week or ten days apart they
will last until the early corn is ready
10 feed, and the corn-1rst the early
and then the later varieties-will last
until frost u would even be possible
to add crop Of rape to feed until cold
weather.
Summer Silage Best.
Now, the foregoing is very fine
theory OF COW feeding. but 1t doesn't
work in practice Some crops may be
partial failures and some may be used
before the next is ready: also. soiling
cows means cutting and dra wing
green food every day regardless OF
weather conditions or what other
work presses. All these considera.
tions have led the writer to feel that
there is Just one best way TO supple
ment pastures. and that Is by feeding
when needed corn silage put in the
, previous autumn.
There are several reasons why this
Is the best way. One is thar the pos.
sible food production from an acre OF
corn is much greater than from these
other crops. Another is. 1t is possible
to put this corn in the silo just when
I II is mt its best. whereas other crops
will frequently he either too green or
too ripe just when we need them.
The difference in labor between GO
| ing for a load Of green oats or throw
ing out a supply Of silage from con
venient silo speaks FOR itself.
The better dairymen we are the
more we shall feed cows I'm addition
to pasture and summer silo is the east
est way to provide the needed feed.

EAYlNG TIME
Eight Tons an Acre.
JOHN ASHLEY.

IL is said the average crop OF hay per
acre is one ton for the first moving
and If the weather is favorable half
a ton for the second. The selling price
for this amounts to about S27. the cost
of producing and harvesting IL.
In contrast to this. there is the case
OF man who had small village farm.

acre of grass land and an acre reserv-
ed for crops for his horse and COW
From the grass land he averaged be-
tween eight and ten tons OF hay. and
as his methods OF seeding and care
were very simple and easy TO initiate
It Iaay be OF interest to know some
thing OF them I'm detail When the
property was first purchased the new
owner started in to improve IT, going
over the grass land with double ac-
ton cutaway harrow twice the first
week IN half laps and the second time
at right angles TO the first. lie contin-
tued to do this until August when the
foul roots remaining were raked ont
and burned. An eight foot smoothing
harrow with levellng board attached
was next used until the surface was
true. The land was then plowed with
n twenty-four inch cutaway plow to a
depth of six inches. the disk being set
at considerable angle. Then the sur
face was again trued as before. Final
ly the field was narrowed weekly until
the LIST OF September.
Final Preparation.
The land being level. it was left bare
until spring and then was narrowed
again and sowed to oats TO be cut for
hay. When this had been harvested the
field was gone over twice in half laps
with a double action harrow, the second
time at right angles TO the first The
second week it was plowed and har-
rowed and after that narrowed weekly
for four weeks. followed by one more
plowings. On Sept. fourteen quarts
each Of timothy and recleaned redtop
were sown. and before narrowing in
the seed GOO pounds of the following
mixture OF commercial fertilizer were
carefully and evenly brOadcasted: Nj
trate of soda. 60 pounds; muriate OF
potash. 240 pounds; bonemeal. 300
pounds The piece was then narrowed
In four directions with smoothing

was rolled and 45O pounds OF the fol
