No administration of any party at
any time in the history of the nation
has brought about as many changes
or accomplished so many reforms in
SO short time as this of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is also true. that
never before, perhaps, have more
questions, national and international.
and number of them very serious
~ complicated, come up for solution
and disposal by any administration.
notwithstanding, things are moving
along smoothly, gradually and sure

adjusted to the new order, and bril-
liant prospects, loom up before the
nation. The only pessimistic note
heard is that sounded by disgruntled
and disappointed partisan politicians

HOW DOES 1T SOUND NOW?

1t will be recalled that durino
former Congressional campaiens in
the Ninth the plea was invariably
made that Republican Congressman
under a Republican administration
could be of far greater service to his
constituents than a Democrat could
be under government administer
ed by the Republicans. This plea was
urged by the Republicans every time
IN favor of the election and re-elec-
ton of the Slemps and other Repub-
iican candidates, and against the cleo
ton OF Democrat, and the argument
mad Its effect, merit or no merit. How
about this argument now? Will the
Republicans say now that Mr.. Slemn
or any other Republican can have as
much influence in Congress under a
Democratic. administration as can a
Democrat under an overwhelming adj
minictration. If the plea was a good,
and proper one then for the Republi.
cans, cannot the other plea, its coun
tsrpsrt, be made with equal consjs.

tency, and more-now? There is lit
tie tangible proof in this district at
this time, so far as we know, that Mr..
Slemp's influence in Congress mater
ialized into anything of very practical
nature, anyway, and, according to the
old slogan of other campaigns, he
must of necessity now have less in
fluence than Democrat would have
under the present administration. It's
Il poor rule that doesn't work both
ways. How does it sound now?

Liquor For Revenue

The liquor license campaign is get
ting very warm in Graham and we
suppose most every voter has made
up his mind almost as to how he will
cast his vote.
Before being influenced by the pros
pcctlve license revenue direct for the
privilege to sell liquor in Graham, or
anywhere else, men should stop and
ponder well the consequences. Chill
dren are educated by their environ
ment. Everything they see and hear
influences their lives. Many barkeep-
ers and saloon proprietors are good
hearted men. They are companion
able. They make and hold friends.
They lend an air of responsibility to
Il business that is wholly bad in its
effect. 1t is not saloon men that we
should oppose; it is the saloon bust
ness. And this business is opposed
because it is harmful. 1t sortens
tie lives of men. 1t exercises Il bad
influence over boys and girls. 1t dis

return. And at last il btcih like n
serpent Don't compromise with this
evil.
Some of our best citizens favor sa-
looms in Graham and we cannot help
but feel that they are influenced bv
the belief that the town will receive
big revenue, and that Il terrible
condition would exist here without
license in Graham, and while Poca-
hontas has saloons, making Graham
the dumping ground for booze in
tended for Blueiield.

respect the boar sheuld be the opposite
extreme, if the sows are rangy and
leggy the boar with which they are
mated should be the extremely short,
low down, blocky type. This is q mis-
take. Bears should be selected which

gether two radical extremes. A good
thrifty early spring pig may be used
for breeding to bring pigs in tho fol-
lowing spring, but an older boar is
preferable.
If an old boar can be purchased,
which some good breeder is about to dis
card, so much the better. A tried sire
is always preferable to an untried one,
and is usually purchased at less cost.
A boar five or six years old should be
just as good breeder as he ever was
and even more sure, providing he 10

out danger. Some breeders use such
crate for all their sows. The construc-
tion and dimensions of such a crate are
shown in cut.
Some farmers expect to get boar
for twelve or fifteen dollars. Such
breeders never get very far in raising
good hogs. A boar that is not worth
around fifty dollars is not the proper
kind. Plenty Of boars can be bought
for less, but not good ones. In buying
sows about the usual market price per
pound is customary for grades. Nice
pure gifts run from $50 up in this
state. Many successful breeders prefer
that their sows be pure or high grades
of one breed, and that their boar be

select the proper kind Of boar. Tho
SOW pigs will be old enough also to
breed by that time, and may be bred to
the new boar, whereas if they were his
progeny it would not be desirable to
breed back to him. Old sows are gen
orally to be preferred to gifts, but the
latter are usually much easier to obtain.
Uniformity in sows is also much to be
desired. For these reasons it is pre-
ferable to select from the same blood
lines and even from the same breeder.
Some farmers select from widely diff
ferent herds in order that their sows
may not be in any way related, but this
is q mistake. 1t is preferable that all
stock be closely related except the boar,
which should be Of unrelated, but SINH
lar blood lines.
The points to be considered in the
selection Of individual brood sows are:
An over.fat condition should be avoid
ed, but q marked readiness to fatten 10
always desired; length Of body is con.
sidered an especially good point, but in
general it must be remembered that any
good qualities the pigs may have are to
be inherited from the sows and the
boar, and if the sows are coarse and
roughly made the pigs are likely to
inherit that tendency.
Selecting the Boar.
In selecting boar the best should
be secured-a first.class pure bred boar
Of the breed most suitable, and one good
enough to head pure bred herd. Es'
pecial care should be exercised in select
ing boar suitable for the sows. If the
sows have produced one litter their
value as breeders can be easily de-
termined. 1t is popular error to think
that if the sows are faulty in some

mistakes with grades. He should not
buy too many; four or five will be
plenty. Many men have made failures
by plunging abruptly into the hog in
dustry on large scale. A large hog
farm, like any other large business,
must be started modestly and built up
from its own profits. One should not
become excited about the stories he
reads of the fabulous profits in hog

a very bright future in this state, but
it is not "get.rich-quick" scheme.

A Few Hog Hints

NF young pig becomes chilled take
it to the house and plunge 1t in
warm water (as hot as you can bear
your handy several times, and then wrap
in warm flannel and put in q warm
place.
Young pigs are SO partial toward
foods rich in protein that they will
acquire an excess of that element If
given an opportunity, thereby stunting
their growth.
No man that is inexperienced should
undertake the business Of raising hogs
unless he expects to make a study Of
it, and to profit by his mistakes.
Ground oats, wheat bran and little
oil meal, together with some alfalfa or
clover hay, will keep the brood sows
from becoming feverish.
When pigs are given bad quarters
they can't be expected to return good
dollars.
1t is a mistake if the hog is not fed
in a clean place free from dust and
mud.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-05-14

inconvenience, as it is low and easy to
step over. If made to extend only to
the door it will not be large enough
to accommodate the pigs the pens will
properly hold. 1t is quite common in
the corn belt to build a small feeding
foor in the outside lot and put the
trough on that. The corn is commonly
fed in the ear and the ears are scattered
about on the floor. Where small grain
is fed such feeding floors are not so
common, but they have a considerable
advantage in forcing the pigs to get out
into the open.
In Eastern Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington where the hog lots are large and
on dry, well-drained ground, such floors
will be quite an advantage, and they
entail no additional expense, since the
house may be made smaller. A 6xS
pen with the feeding done outside will
be as satisfactory as an 8xl0 pen with
the feeding done inside. Often where
feeding is done in this manner the house
is simply long shed about 10 feet wide,
with the roof sloping to the north and
connecting pens on the south. The feed
floors are then placed at the end of the
lot farthest from the house. Where in.
dividual houses are used the feeding is
usually done in this manner. Many of
the best breeders follow this plan with
their brood sows because of the exercise
afforded. Its efficiency for fattening
stock is rather doubtful.
In Western Oregon and Western
Washington it is not desirable to have
the pigs eating out in the rain and
failing back and forth in the mud.
Selection Of the Sows.
To the beginner in the hog industry
the purchase Of good thrifty grade sows
is recommended rather than pure breds.
They will be cheaper and for economical
production for the market will do just
as well. No beginner should start into
the pure bred hog business expecting to
sell breeding stock until he has first
thoroughly mastered the business Of
raising hogs for the market. In the
first place he should have this knowl.
edge in order to be familiar with the
demands of his customers, and in the
second place, pure bred hogs are expen'
sive, and it is cheaper for the beginner
to do his experimenting and make hil
