PARTICULAR TODAY
Modern Swine Needs Much Better
Treatment and Pays Good Returns,
According to Experts Here.
DEMONSTRATION TRAIN is
VISITED BY MANY PERSONS
Care of Dairy Cattle and Importance of
Improving Breeds Impressed on
Hundreds of Visitors.

When the agricultural demonstration
train, which is touring the valley, ar
rived in this city last night, a good
sized crowd of local people and Marion
county farmers met it at the inter
section of State and Front streets and
were the interested guests of the South
ern Pacific and Portland, Eugene &
Eastern railroads and the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College for two hours.
The travelling exhibit of farm animals
and machinery has proven a great sue.
cess in the way of educating the farm
ers and solving many Of the little diff
ficulties met with by the large and
small farm owners who are now taking
up the work of raising pure bred stock.
Hogs Interest.
The professors on live stock gave
talks that were both interesting and
very instructive. Professor Il. IT, Pot
ter had charge of the hog car and his
remarks were followed closely last
night by those interested in the raising
of both breed and market hogs. Prof.
Potter explained how the hog raiser
can realize more from his pure bred
hogs than by raising an inferior grade,
He said that the market hog of today
is the sleek well developed class, A
hog of this character, he said, weighing
in the neighborhoOd of 200 pounds, will
always bring the highest market price
and it behooves the farmer to secure
a pure bred sire and endeavor to raise
this kind of an animal in the future
if he desires to gain large profits upon
his stock
The instructor gave some good ad.
wise upon the manner Of feeding stock
hogs, how to develop them while grow.
ing and the best methods Of preparing
them for sale on foot. In all the ad.
dress was very enlightening and more
than one farmer went away satisfied
that he has not been "getting his mon.
ey's worth 4" out Of his live stock in
the past.

dress was very enlightening and more
than one farmer went away satisfied
that he has not been "getting his mon
ey's worth" out of his live stock in
the past.
Feeding Important.
Professor G.. r. Sampson illustrated
very ably the best method Of feeding
market swine. He told the spectators
that Notwithstanding that hog is a
hog, he must not be allowed to make n
hog Of himself too often in q day. The
hog must be fed the proper food at the
right time, he said, and swine should be
rs carefully attended to as any other
farm stock if the raiser wishes to OBJ.
tain the best results.
Professor w. A. Barr, an expert ON
dairy stock, entertained the people
with a talk on "The Dairy Cow. "
Professor Barr conducts the cattle de.
partment Of the train and he had with
him q Jersey, two Ayrshires and a Hol.
stein. Taking these animals as standard
dairy stock the stockman gave an in
teigent talk on how the dairyman can
obtain tho most favorable results by
feeding and caring for his animals.
Like any other farm animal the COW
has her special features, said tho
speaker, and the farmer must care for
her accordingly. If she is dairy COW,
her feed should be of such nature as to
be milk producing and there are many
such kinds Of foods that can be raised
in the valley, declared the professor.
Corn growing should be followed by the
dairymen and most Ony class Of green
food is desirable il properly prepared,
said Professor Barr.
Predicts Great Things.
Wilbur X. Newell, n Holstein dairy
man from CASTOR and president Of the
State Board Of Horticulture, joined the
train yesterday and has led the army Of
breeders Of better grades at each Of the
seven stops included in the itinerary
today. lie is assassinating in four
languages the scrub bull and the board
er cow
"With only 100000 dairy cows in
that portion of Oregon Bing west Of
the Cascade mountains, II is no wonder
that Oregon is using butter from New
Zealand There should be 100000 cow
in that territory" said Mr.. Newell.
"There should be monthly revenue
Of $2,4OO,OOO to tho farmers Of Wester
Oregon in dairy products alone, instea'
Of 100000 a month, as the revenue
is today"
And then Farmer Newell goes ahel,
TO show the men from the farms HOY
TO do il, and he supplements his argu
ment by demonstrating that only 81 i
soil fertility Is taken from tho Ian
for every 800 worth Of dairy product
produced, while 5000 worth Of soil fel
tility is shipped with every $1,000 o
hay and $3.50 worth Of ertility with ey
cry $1,000 Of wheat.
As examples Of successful men in th
dairy and hog business, Mr.. Newell u
troduced and read letter from Clai

Over Doing \ Good Thing

We seem to love to Ovprdo a

and along comes a large business
house in New York that prints
on each of its lettprheads this
notice:
We have never heard a good

time may be gained by a rule of
this sort, but no efficiency can
ever be gained at the expense of

daily contact with our fellow

out of our lives the very salt and

the Alleghanies to the desired
point, day seeing strange, new
sights, and a third day returning
to his home with a mind full of

social party or some other public
spectacle every afternoon, the
boy whose pleasures are so vari.
ed that he tends to exh aust his
capacity of innocent enjoyment

himself to engage in an hour of
serious endeavor with either
hand or brain.
The boy who is allowed to Soy

first twenty years of lifeis likely
to amount to little during the re-.
