rigation project $500 a ton for alfalfa
hay in the stack is considered a good
price This figure was adopted by the
investigators in their experiments,
and they fixed the value of corn at
S1.07 a hundredweight and OF gains Of
pork at cents a pound. The labor
cost Of caring for the hogs was as
sumed to be the same as that OF har-
Vesting the hay crop.
On this basis it was found that the
net return per acre ranged from S45OS
when the hogs had nothing but alfalfa
to S16S.25 when they were fed in ad-
ditiOn a 3 per cent ration of corn. The
rate OF gain and the carrying capacity
Of the pasture increased with the guam
tity of grain fed. As a supplement it
was found that ground barley was ap-
prOximately as efficient, pound for
pound, as Shelled corn.
By allowing the hogs to Craze the
alfalfa 1t was found that they re-
turned in pork an equivalent of from
$8.16 to S30.4S for each ton OF hay
that would otherwise have been har-
vested from the alfalfa fields. The
lowest figure, SS.16, is considerably
higher than the market prices for al
falfa hay, and the highest figure,
$30.48, obtained when the hogs re-
ceived a 3 per cent ration of corn, is
obviously much more than the farmer
could hope to obtain from any other
method Of disposing OF his alfalfa
crop.
The practice Of hogging down corn
proved to be much more profitable
when hogs had access TO alfalfa pas
ture as well. In two years expert
ments the average gain without the
pasture, was placed at S52.08 per acre,
whereas with alfalfa pasture it rose
to S65.10. Put in another way, it was
found that without supplementary feed
hogs paid S1.34 per hundredweight Of
corn and $1.55 when they had alfalfa
pasture as well. With the use OF tank
age instead Of alfalfa, the return was
S1-59 per hundredweight Of corn. It IS
evident, therefore, that the use OF
either alfalfa or tankage with corn re-
suits in more rapid and cheaper gains
than when the hogs are turned into
the corn and receive no other feed.

IMPROVED QUALITY OF EGGS
This May 6e Brought About by Care
full Selection for Incubation
Use Old Hens

By T. E QUISENBERRY. Aissouri.)
How are we to breed so that we may
improve the quality Of the eggs? We
know it TO be a fact that a hen lays
essentially the same color and shape
egg year in and year out. OF course
we know that the first eggs of q pull
let are small and will gradually in
crease in size until they reach their
normal state. We also know that in
varieties of poultry which lay brown
eggs the last eggs Of litter" will be
somewhat lighter IN color than will
the first eggs laid, SO we can see that
the shape and color of an egg changes
slightly.
In attempting to breed to improve
the quality of eggs, we advise the Sc
lection of eggs for incubation only Of

YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH
BE Careful In Removing Little Fellows
From Incubator-Prevent Chill
ing Is Main Thing.

In removing chicks from the incu-
batOr to the brOOder great care must
be taken to prevent them from being
chilled. This can well be accom-
plished by placing them IN a basket
and covering them with a wooden
cloth laid lightly over the chicks or
with buriap or cotton cloth laid over
the basket. A shallow wooden box
having a muslin cover. makes a very
convenient chick carrier.
The main thing to do is to prevent
killing. Care should be taken to have

is MIR. SPENCE
CONSISTENT

Four. years ago c. e. Spence, Master
of the Ga se advocated the Grange
bill which proposed the issuance Of 8
per cent bonds by counties for con-
struction of permanent roads, the
bonds to be paid by direct tax levy.
Mr. Spence is now vigorously op-
posing the road bond bill which pro
poses isuing s6,000,OOO twenty-five
year per cent bonds for hard-surfaced
roads. A direct tax is not imposed for
the retirement of these bonds Ample
revenue to pay the interest and retire
the bonds at maturity is already pro-
vided by law from the increased auto
mobile licenses and the existing one
fourth mill state road tax which has
been a fixed tax against all property
in the state for the last four years.
In other words, the bill to be passed
upon by the voters at the June elec-
tion will not increase the general
taxes Of the individual.
If Mr.. Spence was right in 1912 he
is wrong now.

Moving Of heavy gun carriages, and
heavy loads of ammunitions and army
supplies, necessitates better roads than
at present are available in Oregon.

ment of supplies.
Should the railroad centers become
too congested, owing to war burdens,
or should they fall into the hands of
an enemy, the through roads would
be the only means of communication
left to get supplies from place to
place in the interior. Farmers would
of necessity depend upon the through
roads for marketing their crops. Every
resident of Oregon will see the neces-
stiles Of the situation once this is
called to his attention and will see
the bearing this has on the road ques-
tion to be voted upon June 4th.--
