Big Stock Interests
J. C. Horn, superintendent of
the Prineville Land & Livestock
Company's ranches at Antelope is
attending the stockmen's meeting
here this week.
Mr. Horn is placing an applica
tion with Forest Supervisor Ire
land for a permit to graze 7700
head of sheep within the Blue
Mountain Reserve the coming
summer. He says the company
is feeding 12,5000 stock sheep
this winter, but the number will
be reduced to 7700 before the sum
mer Beason. The surplus will be
sold as range stock and will no
doubt bring a good figure thinks
Mr. Horn. The stock are winter
ing good and there will be a sur
plus of hay. So far as yet there
has been nothing fed but a few
lambs. Mr. Horn disposed of
1 100 head of rams last fall at an
average of $9 per head, most of
them going to au Idaho buyer.
Not the least important part of
the company's business is the cat
tle herds. At present they have
on hand 1045 head of cattle, 450
of which are being fed for the beef
markets. Some 230 head were
sold at Shaniko in December,
bringing I3.5J0 for cows and $4 for
steers. The remainder of the beef
stock will be held until the mar
ket advances as the hay supply is
good
RAISING HOGS
There is money in hog. Any
farmer knows that but the amount
of profit is regulated by the kinds
of hogs raised and the treatment
given them both in breeding and
fattening.
Of the many good breeds the
Poland China is perhaps unex
celled for the general farmer in
this climate.
Thejnost telling example of the
hog industry in Crook county, is
the success of D. F. Stewart, who
has produced for years the greater
part of the home-cured meats that
have been in the Prineville "mar
ket. Mr. Stewart raises Poland
Chinas, mostly pure bred, and
raises and fattens them on his
ranch near town. They are fed
and fattened annually from the
refuse or screenings from his mills,
supplemented by other mill feeds.
They are given all they can eat
and a little more from the time
they are large enough to eat until
they are ready for tbe scalding
vat.
"Never let a pig get hungry,
give him plenty of running water
to drihk and don't stop feeding
Lhirn when he stops fa ten ing en the
outside for then he is adding at
least a pound of lard each day on
the inside," is the policy on Mr.
Stewart's farm, and bis present
output show whether this policy
is a success.
Of course John Breeding, who
has charge of tbe hog department,
will tell you much 'more that is
almost as essential in the business,
but the facts mentioned are the all
important ones.
Some forty hogs have been
butchered on the Stewart farm
this season, the most of them were
less than a year old. The average
weights of these reached some 200
pounds dressed, and yielded an
average of 30 pounds of pure lard
the hog.
One porker about" eighteen
months old weighed 440 pounds
dressed, which shows the increase
m weight and comparative value
if the farmer is ho situated so that
he can feed them more than one
season before killing. Of his
annual production Mr. Stewart has
about twenty head yet to kill.
What is true of Mr. Stewart's
farm can also be applied to almost
any farm in Crook county to a
greater or lesi degree, and when
that condition arrives and Central
Oregon produces its own pork and
jRaim
Don't be humbugged into
buying Ranges from outside
people who have no interests
in the county. We can
give you a better Range for
less money any day in the
week. See us about it
We have Cook Stoves and
Heaters, too, that are reason
able in price and guaranteed
for service.

lard (and dairy products) we will
see better times.
Here, too, is found the solution
of the myeterious problem that
confronts the farmer, namely, bow
can he market 1,000,000 bushels of
surplus grain each year without
proper transportation facilities.
We raise the feed and cannot
market it and at the same time
are sending thousands of dollars
annually to outside markets to
purchase tons of pork and lard
when all conditions here are favor
able to the hog industry.
Not only the surplus grains can
be thus transformed into a market
able caBh product but also surplus
potatoes and root crops of all
kinds.
Corn also is easily and success
fully grown in many parts of the
county as the results attained by
several people last summer show.
In the case of Tillman Reuter,
who lives near Madras, five dis
tinct varieties of corn were grown A
all of which matured early.
Everyone knows the story of corn
as a pork feed.
Let every rancher raice a few
hogs, at least enough to supply the
local demand, and when the next
periodical panic arrives Crook
county will be as it usually is,
well fixed and financially able to
cope with the conditions.
