The organ i.a I ion of a Count) Swine Breeders Association Is the mission of C. M. McAlisler. special leprest ntative of the Portland I'nton Stock Yards', of North Portland wht) is spending several days In this county working on t he project and ' co-ordinating t he different forces that will help bring about this much , desired result. i Mr. MeAlister states that a moot ing of ull the interested swine breed ers In the count y w ill probably be held next week In thin city and that the work that has attoady been done by C. .1. Hurd. county agent, ami ot her people of t his set lion along itiitj Hue will nrobablv be turned In to the channels that will result in u ' strong association being formed. Mr. MeAlister stales that he ha seen j in 111 is county alreadv some of Ihe i linest foundation for high bred; I in roc herds, ami ot her breeds that he has seen anvwhere, anil that he I Is convinced that this part of Ihe j state offers splendid opportunities I for the expansion of this induslrv. Wit h the I lover nn ient prii e of n I minimum of $l ".".i' per hundred- weiuht. hog raising properly carried i on, fn one of Ihe most profitable n-1 dtistries in the country that can be' engaged in Tor equal investment of capital and quick return. Mr. MeAlister thinks that every little farmer should keep at least one brood sow. "Why, the waste will keep one wow,' he says, "and with very small trouble the pis can be pastured until liirge enoimh to ell as stockers or feeders." He does not advocate Hie breeding of scrub -ti.;'k. He savs if the breeders ot hoys could only pee the hogs us they go through t he great mai kettng yards, and realize that there is al wavs a keen demand for the ton iiotchers at prices considerably above those realized for the common run of Muff, ami learn that pure 'red llf;s ale cheaper to feed and finish than scrubs, there would h a general cleaning up of scrub breed ing stock, that would make wonder fill change" in I he indust ry. and va-lly i-tivo the standard of the hogs put on the maikcts. "The trouble Is." he continued, too many men ho market hogs flunk they have the best hugs on eai th. simply hoi a use tttev nevf r a w any other hogs.
