FATHER and SON
THE RELATIONSHIP AND HOPES
OUTLINED In ADDRESS AT
BROTHERHOOD SUPPER.

At a Father and Son" meeting
ment of the Methodist church given
by the Methodist Brotherhood, Ira F.
Blewitt as speaker for the occasion,
treated the relationship of father and
son in a broader sense than that of
family only. The occasion was the
regular monthly meeting of this So
ciety, and was well attended by the
men, Notwithstanding the early hour
set for the feast. The food was pre-
pared by the church Helping Hand
society.
Mr.. Blewitt deplores the fact that
he was not n of the brotherhood,
and that he was the speaker for the
occasion. Dwelling upon the thought
that he had an address to make, be-
fore such men, upon such a subject,
he, a member of the legal profession
trying to outline the way of progress
and right to such as they, had robbed
him of the whole enjoyment of the
excellent supper and had caused him
to wholly neglect the most perfect
piece of pie. He read from the con
stitution the aims of the organiza-
ton and the purpose of this session,
and considered the family relation
ship.
A mans aims are bound up in his
sons, Mr.. Blewitt said. He takes
pride in the first evidence of intelli-
gence and trains him. He works for
for the boys betterment, and hopes
to see his work taken up by his
progeny and carried forward. His is
an ambition to perpetuate the family
name.
He knows his son to be the future
protector of a home, and, ~perchance
of his fathers house. This great war
has brought out a closer Relationship
between father and son, for the faith
er knows that when it comes to the
protection of home and native land il
is the sons who must make the sac
rifice. In such a crisis he looks upor
his son with greater respect and the
young man takes on an added glory
in his eyes. He is the hope and glory
of the home.

best layers. Besides supplying the
household, the flock returns a good
revenue from the sale of eggs during
the spring and summer. From the
small flock of geese a good income is
also derived, as a ready market is
found for them at any time. Until a
year ago turkeys we're always to be
found on this ranch, but last spring
some disease made such inroads on
them that the raising of them has been
discontinued for the present.
Mr.. Adolf is a native of Russia, and

When four years of age. His father,
Ludwig Adolf, now resides in New
berg, Oregon. NJ. L. Adolf was reared
in western Oregon and later went to
eastern Washington, where he worked
among the ranchers in the great wheat
belts of Ritzville and Odessa and
gained invaluable experience in dry
farming. He also spent some time in
Morrow county Oregon. In 1905 he
was married to Miss Mary Raster, a
native of North Dakota. Since 1909,
the year in which he took up a squat
ter's right on his farm, he and his
family have continuously resided on
the ranch A seven-room dwelling is
occupied by the family and the home
is plastered throughout and modern
in every way. A barn, three granar-
les, and a good wagon and implement
shed have been erected. A separate
shed has been built for sheltering the
40-horsepower 1852 separator operat-
ed by a gasoline tractor owned in
partnership with his brother, L. K.
Adolf. He has found It to be far more
economical TO buy lumber for sheds
than to pay repair bills. Mr.. Adolf
has a complete blacksmith shop on the
ranch and does all his own work in
that line. In the spring he will move
all his buildings to the new home site
selected on another BART of the ranch,
a half mile to the west. This site is
near the public road and a well is al
ready sunk there and equipped with a
windmill. An addition will be built
to the dwelling and many other i'm
provements are planned. The new
home site will be almost in the enter
of the ranch. Mr.. Adolf is a director
Of the farm bureau and has ever tax

in the future of the county, and having
made his stake here will always do his
best to aid in its development.

provided. But the ranch was not
originally so equipped by any means.
Mr.. Fisher saw the advantage Of rails
ing hogs for the market and the rev.
enue received from them has paid for
the equipment, and left a residue be-
sides. In the past three years he has
sold hogs to the amount of $500, and
he is frank in saying that had it not
been for hog raising the ledger of the
ranch during the past three off-years
would not look so comfortable as il
does. Experience has taught Mr..
Fisher that the big-type Poland-China
is the best hog to raise in this climate.
They are prolific, are good rustlers.
easy to fatten and are b%ig-boned. They
are allowed to range in the wheat
fields until the grain reaches a stage
where it will be damaged and are then
taken off the wheat and put on sum
mer fallow. AS a rule fields of peas
are grown to be hogged off. For a
%fattening ration the hogs are feo
twice daily all the ground wheat they
will consume. This ration is fed to
them on a plank floor, this method do
ing away with all waste of feed. A
clean and dry place is provided for
them at all times. Notwithstanding
the common belief that a hog enjoys .
filthy place, these animals will choose
a clean abode when given access to
one. During the hot summer season
they, of course, like to lie in a pool
but they prefer a clean pool. The
drove of % pure bred brood sows on
this ranch is headed by a registered
boar. This is following in the steps
of the most experienced swine rails
ers in the northwest who have long
ago proven the fact that it pays ex-
tremely we'll to raise only pure bred
hogs for market shipment.

Mr.. and Mrs. Len Byington, whose
dry farm of 800 acres is located four
and one-half miles southeast of Rock
land, are this winter residing on the
Heber c. Wood ranch west of town.
The wheat crop on the dry farm last
year was not a success owing to ad-
verse conditions in which the drouth
and the weeds played their part. But
the dairy feature of the farm gave
good returns, the evenue from the
sale of cream averaging between 81
and $3.50 per week. Four Gown were
MIXED during the summer months.
but this winter only two are being
MIXED; things are equalized in a
measure, however, by the difference
in the price of butterfat, which during
the summer brought only an average

ALONG The HIGHWAYS
Gleanings by the Pilgrim In His
Wanderings Here and There.

The Pilgrim had the pleasure to
meet a gentleman from the old state
of Ohio a few days ago who had been
to Camp Kearney in California to see
his son who is a member of the form
er Utah field artillery now incorpor-
ated in the federal army. The Ohio
man wanted to see a little more of
this section of the state than can be
seen from a fast fitting rain and so
came down to Rockland valley for a
day. Mr.. Benton, that's his name. is
a resident of Columbus, Ohio, and that
also happens to be the city in which
the Pilgrim was reared and used to
gambol on the state house green.
Later he came to the far flung west
and gambled on other green's, but the
iniquity of that pastime was soon as
certained in fullest measure. The
winters trip of Mr.. Benton was his
first to the west and he is impressed
with what he has seen. He stated
that on a farm he own within 25 miles
of his home city he raises from 100 to
$50 hogs each year and that in the
past three years he has made a profit
of more than $500 per year from the
sale of hogs to market and an addi-
tional profit from the sale of young
stock for breeding purposes. His
drove consists of registered Chester
Whites and he feeds them chopped
barley and corn for a fattening ration.
He stated that for forty years he has
been raising hogs for the market on
his farm and found it one of the most
profitable ventures he ever engaged
in. From what he has seen of the
western country in a months stay, he
is of the opinion that every farmer
should raise a few more hogs than
needed for home consumption. Mr..
Benton is a veteran of the Civil val
and has three sons in the United States
army and one in the navy at present.
and when he gave this information he
added that he would have more sons
in the service of Uncle Sam if it hadn't
been that the supply was exhausted.
Two of his boys are now in France
and the one in the navy has been in
the North sea since last summer. serv-

j. T. Fisher owns a dry farm OF
sooGly dimensions seven miles south
east Of Rockland. This ranch is To-
Gated in what is locally known as Dry
Hollow and is right in the foothills.
The total acreage of the ranch is 1440.
Mr.. Fisher came here from the state
of Nebraska and found his way into
farming accidentally, but since he is
engaged in the worthy endeavor he
has concluded that it is not good for
a farmer to put all of his eggs in one
basket. OF the activities on this ranch
in growing wheat and other cereals an
account will be published at a later
date. For the present it is desired to
state what has been accomplished on
this ranch in the way of raising hogs
and the revenue derived from that
source. Last December 50 hogs were
sold from this ranch. which averaged
go pounds in weight and brought Is
cents pers pound. If the reader wants
TO know the amount in dollars and
cents that these hogs brought he will
have to figure ii out himself. and il
the figures resulting induce him to
also engage in the business of grow
ing hogs for the market he Will be we'll

In January 20 hogs were slaughtered
on the ranch of Mr.. Fisher, and the
meat will be cured on the ranch and
later put on the market. In February

The flock of 45 nearly pure bred
Rhode Island Red chickens Of Mrs.
Peter Anderson, residing a mile and
a half from Rockland, up the east
fork, started the new year right by
producing from eight TO thirteen eggs
per day. These are all last springs
chickens, the aim being on this ranch
to keep only young poultry. Last
spring and summer from a flock of a.
hens Mrs. Anderson regularly market
ed from II TO IA dozen Of eggs each
week. The income from this source
went a long way toward defraying
household expenses. Much OF the
yong stock of the flock is sold each
year at good prices. Mr.. and Mrs. An
derson haven't the least intention Of
ever wanting to run a farm without a
flock of Rhode Island Reds. Now
and then the chickens invade the gar
den and commit d~epredations, but that
little drawback can be overcome by
proper fencing. With the beginning
of the new year Mrs. Anderson started
to keep an accurate account of the in
come from this flock, and that book
by the end of the year will contain
some interesting facts.

Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator, has again called to the
attention of the farmers Of the United
States the urgent necessity of raising
more hogs. The farmers are assured
that a market will be provided for the
hogs at prices in proportion to the
cost of feed. The following informa-
ton in regard to forage crops is of
value: Pigs fed on good forage
crops will make many times as much
profit as those fed in dry lots. The
accredited gain in pork to an acre
OF forage varies. depending on the
crop, the age of the hog. and the
amOun of grain fed. An acre of
sweet clover, with corn at $3.50 and
hogs at SIS a hundred, netted s42.07:
rape, $3.50; alfalfa. $500, and a
combination of oats, peas and rape,
S64.6O. OF all forage crops, alfalfa
is the great permanent crop, while
rape is the emergency crop. n green
rye the fall and early spring crop.
The ideal forage crop should show
adaptability to soil and climate, perma-
nency, p~alatability, reasonable cost of
planting, and good pasture at any time
during the growing season. Alfalfa,
clover and rape have most of these
qualities.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. ]. Morris, whose dry
farm is located in the Sand Hollow
district, six miles east Of Rockland,
are spending the winter in Rockland in
order to give their children good
school facilities. Last year Mr.. Nor
ris had about IS acres in spring wheat
which was clear of weeds and he
threshed an average of 20 bushels per
acre. He believes that exclusive
spring seeding will be just about right
in his neighborhood TO help in killing
the weeds. During the past summer
four cows were MIXED on this ranch
and from eight to ten pounds Of but

To give their children better school
facilities Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Lish re-
side on a small tract half a mile from
the East Fork school during the win
ter months. Their dry farm is located
five miles to the southeast. Weeds up
that way have attained such a foothold
that Mr.. Lish has decided to seed no
winter wheat for a period of several
seasons. deeming exclusive spring
seeding one of the best methods to get
rid of weeds quickly. A considerable
acreage of the ranch will be devoted to
spring wheat hereafter. This rancher
believes in iversification. and last
year raised ZOO sacks of potatoes and
between 700 and 500 pounds of beans.
He found a ready market for the latter
product at 20 cents per pound.
