Montana Farmers Cutting
Out Porkers to Save
Grain for Market.
RESULT IS CERTAIN
Higher Returns for Pigs Will
-. y. Inevitably Follow These
a. Tactics.

To @the average man who has been
watching the hog, market the past year
or, two it would seem that the coming
summer wnl offer an unusual oppor-
tunity to the hog men of Montana.
There are. several reasons for this.
'W1tk tho soaring of the price OF grain
the last two. years many farmers have
sold of most Of their i1oks, retaining
only enough to. supply their own ta-
bic. Consequently the production of
Hogs in the state is not what 1t should
be- There is nothing to be wondered
attn this, for it IL not every farmer
who can feed $3.50 wheat to hogs at a
elevator is a muchssimpier method. But
now theresis no telling when the price
of wheat will drop. There have been
rumors 81 peace for some time and
We're peace to be declared the price Of
wheat would Immediately go down, for
they tell US that there are from two
to four crops stored in Russia that
will be available to the world as soon
as peace IL declared. But the price
of hogs cannot take the same tumble.
A crop Of wheat can be produced in
a year; 1t takes double that time to
make enough pork to supply the
wants of the world. Germany killed
off her hogs to save grain, the coun-
try must be restocked and that will
take time. Then thespresent prices OF
pork in MontanA warrant an Increase
in production. ,.When the packera N
this state are willing to pay $l1.5O for
hogs. as has been done this past week,
1t is time production was stimulated.
Hogs can be raised at profit for
$11.50. With plenty Of pasture, either
alfalfa, clover or some other good green
stuff, and the cheaper grains such as
corn, barley Or oats to feed them, a
good margin can be obtained when
poi'kers are selling for far less than
$11.50 The men who are in the hog
business. on a large scale, who are
equipped for 1t with good pastures,
fences and available buildings, have
not gone out Of the hog business. But
these are men familiar with all, the
ms and OUTS Of the business. Their sue
cess would not necessarily apply to
everyone But there is going to be
a safe margin on which to work and
make a good profit. The initial invest
ment in hogs, good ones, too, amounts
to little. Properly cared for. they will
return handsome profit on the in
vestment. By making their early
gains on cheap roughage. such as pas,
ture with about two or three per
cent grain ration. and then being fin
ished off on a full ration. hogs can
be raised at a price that allows a most
comfortable margin. Think it over
and do some figuring. You will find
1T pays to keep hogs. @.,

If neutrals suffer it is their mis-
fortune to be so placed that they must

"The Pittsburgh Dispatch" sees that the
Kaiser looks on the embargo with concern
and that doubtless he will put pressure
on the neutral countries affected to force
them to protest such measure. But The

land because they cannot give Germany

or lift the embargo" "The Chicago Trib-
une" feels likewise that 1--WE cannot afford
to allow the question of Sweden's profits
to stand in the way of our military aims"
and that 1--WE cannot afford to pass our
rations around to the neutral countries
EXCEPT in return for definite military bene-
fits" 1t is the same possibility of using
the embargo as lever on the neutrals
that causes "The Cleveland Leader" to say
that the discomforts of war will be great
est among states that ''have not placed
themselves on our side.'
There are other angles to the situation,
of course. One of them is the possibility
of German invasion of neutral countries
and a repetition of the fate of Belgium
and Rumania. Another is the chance that
alliance with the Allied arms will deprive
neutral nations of such privileges as they
now have through intercourse with Ger
many. To this "The Portland Oregonan"
replies that the United States could sup
ply Switzerland with coal through France,

Regarding the Crops

THE Federal crop reports gave :he local
L press glow of satisfaction which
expressed itself in THE Sun after this
fashion:
"We shall be in time. That is the COM
forting inference which it is permissible for
Americans to draw from the detailed crop
forecasts made public in Washington on
Monday.
Americas crop is like the Liberty Loan, a
matter of individual patriotic effort. Its sue
cess lay with each American farmer and his
own conscience. The outcome is not yet
wholly assured, OF course, and accident or
disaster may work considerable havoc. Blu.

DOUBTLESS there is much behind the

can only guess at. There have been whis-
pers here and there that the hands of the
Allies themselves might not be found en-
tirely untainted if an investigation were
made into the brief imperial restoration
of China. Nonetheless, the tendency on
the part of the American press is to re-
gard the Manchu restoration as another
