The value of shorts and middlings
as a supplement to ground wheat
in feeding pigs for fattening is the
subject of an experiment now be
ing conducted by Prof. E. L. Potter
of the animal husbandry depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural
College.
Eastern Oregon is becoming
greatly interested in hog raising,
and as shorts and middling are the
most available supplementary feed
for the wheat growers, the expert,
ment will be of special value to that
part of the state. Other tests made
by tne college prove wheat alone is
not the best feed for fattening pur
poses, and thus if some good sup
plement easily secured by eastern
Oregon farmers is found it will do
much to further the swine industry
of that part of the state.
The comparative value of scrubs
and will bred pigs for fattening pur
poses is to be determined in another
test on the experiment farm for
which a herd of 30 pigs has been
set aside
Since February' daily records of all
the feed given the swine and mon
thly records of their individual
weights have been kept, and this is

the money paid in taxes will be
a good investment for every
property owner. It will make
his or her property that much
more valuable. As it is the uni
versal custom for the average
taxpayer to kick at the extrava
gance of the officers in charge
of public affairs and the conse
quent high taxes to pay, it
matters little whether the tax
levy be 2G mill3 or 13 mill3, the
kick comes just the same, and
if the voters at their meetings
and the tax levying bodies of the
different districts deem it neces
sary to have this much money to

our little portion and rejoice over
the fact that it is no more,
