border pe n 'set, during the
ttl-r(- liiotiitis just closed than in
-ill previous years combined.
We do not ree urue lo state that
Crook county l.as furnUhcd the
majority of the grand totals given
aliove, jet every stockman know
that there i constant ship
ment from Shiiniko, all of which i
Central Oregon stuff. While there
is no means of comparing this year
with former years in the matter of
livestock shipments, there is every
reason tobelier that in the matter
of fiaisheti stock, the shipments are
heavier from year to year, and that
this country will always be one ol
the foremosj in producing finished
fd anisuls for the markets of the
rorthwesu
The nrjvvt shews also that more
than f5 per cent of the total heel
$:cff ffcipped vrer shipped durin
thffcifdirsg months, from November
Ui to April SO.h, and that th
r.eavjest month ol the year was
January when the total number of
beef shipped reached S000. Th
means that central and northeatern
Oregon is feeding Portland and the
other cities of the coast their meats
during the high priced season, and it
means also that the producer in
this territory, not only the cattle
grower, but also the bay and grain
producer, is finding a ery sati
factory market for his product.
Many things may be noted by
said producer however, for he is as
yet just beginning to develop the
feeding business. One of the very
noticable features of the report
shops that there were very few ship
ment of fat sheep, in fact the
Southern Pacific brought about 50
per cnt of all sheep into the yards
from the farms of the Willamette
Valley, and that the total from
northeastern Oiegon was lees than
40 per cent.
Note another fact. During the
spring months when the 0. R. & X
shipments of cattle were at theii
lowest, the Willamette sheep ship
ments were at their highest, supply
ing the meat for the market our
producer could not supply for the
reason that he bad but few sheep.
Shipments of bogs were much
lighter than they should have been,
the total number reaching but 95,
000, but of this number the O. R
&, N. hauled in about 75 per cent, of
which we should not complain, for
the majority of them came from
the large wheat counties along the
Columbia. To date, the proposi
tion of raising any quanity of hogs
for shipment was out of the ques
tion in Central Oregon, from the
fact that there were no Irannporata
tion lines, but this obstacle is now
removed, and the production of
pork will soon be one of the very j
best openings in this great country'
of wealth producing possibilities.!
i lie average price lor t tie year
was flO.tiO per 100 pounds or a
total average of more than $'20 per
animai. ine nignest prices were
received in March when the irar
ket reached $11.50 and the lowest
was paid in September, Uin
$7.'J0.
When the various product of
the soil are marketed in hogs, the
returns are as high as $40 per acre
annually, which should justify the
"high price of real estate" in
Central Oregon.
In a summary of the conditions
as seen by the producer in the
northwest, which is'of great im-i
porunce to every resident of Cen
tral Oregon, the Union Stock
Yards report says the following:

Touching the hog question the
report of the Union Stock Yards
gives a tible showiDg the compara
tive weights and prices of hogs as
offered in the yards. The average
veijht per year was 201 pounds,
the maximum being reached in
September when, the hogs from the
stubble fields were being marketed.
During this month the average was
237 pounds while in February the
average dropped to 176.
per cent to
it through a cutter. ly finishing
with wheat, barley or even oats,
cattle can be finished that will
equal the "natives" of the middle
states. The difference between the
value of grass-feed cattle and those
that are finished with hay aud
grain, renders the business of feed
ing one of ceitain profit.
With the ideal conditions for
sheep-raising and feeding west of
the Cascades there should never be
a scarcity of finished mutton.
East cf the Cascades alfalfa and
screenings or grain can be profit
ably utilized in preparing sheep for
the market. The over supply oi
thin range sheep and the scarcity,
most of the year, of finished limb
and mutton, are conditions that
should not prevail in the Pacific
Northwest.
No part of the United States!
offers better opportunties for prof
itable hog-raising than this. The
hog is essentially a grazing animal,
and barley or wheat are the ideal
finishing food. The numerous ex
periments show that there are from
500 to 700 lbs. of hog growth to an
acre of alfalfa, and besides paying
well for the alfalfa the wheat or
barley necessary for finishing. a
hog for the market brings the
farmer better prices than if mar
keted in sacks. Field peas are re
ceiving attention and have been
found to be extremely profitable.
It is the experience of farmers
that field peas alternated with
wheat leaves the soil in better con
dition than when semmer fal
lowed, both as to moisture and
wheat-producing ability, aid ia
ddition to this, field ptis .re
worth from $10 to $20 an acre
when harvested by hogs. Freed oa
from disease is another advantage
that hog raisers have in the Pacific
Northwest, and in no part of the
