It mnuids like, a fabulous story to talk almut Iioks hriiiKini! $!.fid a hundred pounds, ou I'uui. but that price was paid for a small bunch of 4." pounders ou the Portland mar ket last wi-ok, and nothing rnady to kill wen: at less than $ii.OO. One hunrh of fr head. Hint worv Just a little shy of the lieu pound mark, brought f&.LTi. It would seem that such priees as these would stimulate tiie produc tions of ho.es In the Norihwest. Kven at the presMit prices of grain and with the ordinary methods of .feeding there should bo a goud mar gin for profit at $9.00. But It Is not necessary nor best to feed the pis al most exclusively on grain all his lift--. In the grea'er part of Western Oro.gon and Vashiivj;ten clover, rape, artichokes and peas grow luxuriantly, and in some places alfalfa does quite well. In Kastprn Oregon. Kastern Wash ington, Idaho and Montana, where ir rigation is practiced, alfalfa is king, and field peas do quite well there, even on non-irrigated land. Hy growing these crops it Is possible to raise hogs and Apish them for market with very little grain. In fact, with peas no other grain is necessary to make the choicest qual ity of pork pork that will command the highest price on any market. With the hog raised and fattened on the above mentioned feeds, har vesting his own crop and feeding himself, he can be put on the mar ket from most farms of the North west at half what he Is bringing right now- and yet make a little menev. But with out rapidly increasing population and with packing plants of sulllcient capacity to readily ab sorb a supply adequate to satisfy 'the demand, no good reason appears why hogs will not continue to bring prices that will pay the producer lib eral profits. We know of nothing that holds out better inducements to the fnrmer of the Pacific coast than the production of pork. We have been preaching this for a long time, but never ex pe?ted to see hogs as high as they are at present. Rural Spirit.

General Passenger -Agent, Portland,-Oregon XUTK AM) (XIMMKXT. In order to obtain an estimate of the amount of pustal business trans acted on rural routes, the. postolllce department ordered a count to be kept on all rural routes of the num ber of pieces of mail delivered and eolltcted, the number of money or ders sold, the number of pieces of registered mail handled, the value of postage on alt mail matter collected, a. id the value of stamp, stamped en velopes, postal cards qud stamped paper sold during the months of March, April and .May of the current year, and report thereon bo submit ted to the department. Practically all these, reports have been received and are being compiled. The post master general has been advised by the fourth assistant postmaster gen eral that such of the reports as have been examined Indicate a very large increase over the last compilation made several years ago, and that pat rons of the rural service thoroughly appreciate Its value and utility. Wo never could understand how fleas could keep still long enough to raise a family. A tenderfoot in the woods who would miss a deer standing twenty feet away can shoot at a noise 200 yards distant and plug a man dead center every pop. The man who keeps his lawn mowed and sprinkled and his side walk parking a-bloom with flowers doesn't make much noise about it. Get Married There's Nothing Like It And WHEN you get mirried let us print your wedding Invi tation -:- :- We Simply Dote on Help ing Along the Good Cause "JVA.ME THE 7) Ay " and call on aj but he H a genuine booster just the sume. A retired dairyman in one of the Linn county farming; section is adver tising an auction sale of : is Jersey cows, the same to take pli ,-e ou the 7th of next month. The p .nest pro ducer in his herd is one whose milk yielded over -iL'il pounds of butter fat In a year and 'the highest cow's record in this particular was over iilHi pounds. It is predicted that there will be some spirited bidding by persons anxious to become the owners of such hliih-c.lass cows. There was a time when the young man of the city would tilt bis nose a few an trios when his country cousin canto to town, but now since farming and fruitgrowing is successfully car ried on by brain power the old-time "jay" has vanished and the country man would tilt his nose several angles when bis green city cousin makes a visit wore it hut f"r the f-ict that the free, manly, intelligent lite of the country man makes him above the old-time stuiercillious airs of his city cousin. Young man of the city, join a strike as soon as possible.

"Is the prisoner sane?" "llo is." "What particular think deter mines your decision?" "The size and source of the fee, of course. You must be a novice." "No extraneous com men t, please. Do alienists ever lie under oath?" "Those .of the other side, yes, nl wa ya." "But supposing you had been re tained by the other side?" "In that case this side would have become the other side." "And you say this prisoner is sane?" "No, Insane; crazy as a hare, an imbecile from the cradle." "Haven't you changed your mind in the last few minutes?" "Entirely so. For an Instant I had forgotten that I was retained for the prisoner and not the state." Soon after the case went to the jury. BOYS A XI) THE FARM. The surest way to Interest chil dren In farming is to let them make a little renl money out of it; money that they can call their own and spend in any reasonable way. You remember how It was yourself. You couldn't see any fun in farming un til you began to find a little profit In the business. You became en thusiastic after a good season which gave you a chance to save money. The boy's first paying garden and the girl's nice flock of profitable chickens will anchor their owners if anything will do It. A little good advice will soon start the extremely important habit of saving money. Can he clear ?50 a year? Sometimes. Fifty dollars placed in a savings bank every year will amount In 20 years at 4 per cent to the very respectable sum of $1548.46. enough for a good-start In business. But the moral and business training that goes with It should bo worth more than the money. A successful boy Is pretty sure to become a success ful man. The farm boy who saves money every year Is not likely to grow Into the kind of men who fill the poorhouses or live on their cred itors or drift about the country tel ling hard luck stories. They will be too busy being good, substantial citi zens and a credit to the parents who gave them a right start. Ex. CALL FOR COUNTY WARRANTS.
