oaiem, ur. .ot until its per
cent of the are of land held by the
settlers in the first unit of the Tum
alo irrigation project, Crook county,
is siimod up under contracts with
the state for water, will the work
be commenced on the distribution
system for the unit, according to
an order of the IVsort Land Board.
While the order does not men
tion the fact, it is implied that if
the settlers do not sign up within a
reasonable time the work will In?
transferred to another unit of the
project This order applies to land
already held by settlers. It in
cludes those who are now obtaining
some water for their land from the
old Columbia Southern canal, which
the state engineer says is inefficient
and costly. This old ditch supplies
only part of the land in the first
unit of the Tumalo project
The board, after many sessions
considering it, finally approved the
contract to be made between the
state and settlers. It provides for
a first mortgage on the land for the
actual cost of construction of the
project plus t5 an acre, which is
required in the act providing for
the completion of the project. Six
per cent interest is to be charged
on deferred payments, which may
extend over a period of 10 years.
The payments will not become
due, and the interest will not begin
to run until the water is available
for the land.
Work on the Tumalo irrigation
project has progressed far enough
now to give some assurance that the
taxpayers of the state whose f 450,
000 was loaned to complete this
enterprise are getting results that
are very satisfactory. The work is
costing well under the estimate.
An instance of this is found in the
construction of the feed canal.
The original estimated expenditure
for this included wooden flume, but
during the early part of the sum
mer the land board decided to use
steel flume, the cost of which will
be about $15,000 more than the
wooden material. ' Even with this
additional expense, the feed canal
work shows that it will stay within
the first estimate.
All material and supplies are
bought from the lowest competitive
bidder, and the freighting contracts
on materials from the railroad are
let in the same manner. Even the
settlers on the segregation are satis
fied which is saying a good deal.
To date about 170,000 has been
paid out for labor and f 80,000 fo
equipment and supplies. The num
ber of men now employed is 105.
Practically all the earth work on the
seven mile canal which will convey
water from Tumalo creek to the
reservoir has been completed, and
during the winter the rock work
will be carried on, together with
the hanging of the steel flume, and
trestles for which are in place.
Drilling is being done to test the
foundation for the reservoir dam,
and next month a board of consult
ing engineers will go over the data
being obtained and decide whether
a dam is feasible at that point, and
if so the character of dam best
adapted to the conditions as shown
by the drilling tests.

KEEPING HOGS COOL
Protection From th Sun' Hsat May
Easily Bs Provided,
Th necessity for providing shade
and pur water In abundance for htun
In summer Is overlooked by a major
Ity of the swine growers throughout the
country, says H. T. Morgan In Country
Gentleman. It Is sstoulshlnfr to not
th negligence of farmers In this mat
ter. Uogs haMttK access to a wood lot
or sn orchard will be amply provided
with shade. Throughout th greatest
hog producing mates, however, these
animals are pastured In open kits, and
there they will suffer irreatly from heat
unless proper artificial shad la pro
vided. A cheap and efficient shade can be
erected In a few hours and at no ex
pense, aside from the labor Involved,
by setting six or nine forked posts In
the ground to support some old fence
rails which may be covered with a few
armloads of brush and then covering
the whole with a load of old straw.
This makes an excellent shade and Is
preferable to one of boards, as the
straw roof Is far cooler than one of
lumber. The shade should be open on
all sides and should be built at the
highest point In the Held, in order to
take advantage of every breeze. The
loss of hops from overheating la very
great, and such losses can be guarded
against only by affording the animals a
retreat from the sun in hot weather.

treating an overheated bog. Never
pour cold water on the animal; pour It

It Is said of the Duroc-Jery breed
of hosrs that they will put on more
pounds for an etjual amount of feed
than any otht-r breed. They put on
flesh and fat so economically that
they return a better profit on feed
consumed than holes that bring- a
few cents more per hundred pounds
on the market. The Duroc-Jersey
hosr. It la claimed, is a bigger host, a
better hoft and a healthier hog- than
any other. The bow shown is an
excellent type of this breed. 8he

under him. A hog that Is on the ground
and not too far gone will resiKind to
treatment if water Is supplied in this
manner. Never attempt to drive an
overheated hog. If possible, after sup
plying some water, erect a temporary
shade, such as a blanket or sheet sup
ported by a couple of poles. On ex
tremely hot days It is an excellent plan
to pour a barrel of water under the
shade .which has been built for the
bogs, and this will afford much com
fort for the entire herd throughout the
day. ,
The greatest core should be exercis
ed In preventing the bogs from having
access to streams which may have been
subject to disease germs. Under no
circumstances should bogs lae allowed
to run in fields opening on large
streams. The prevalence of cholera
In past seasons has taught many a
farmer the folly of courting disaster
by allowing his hogs to water at a
stream which may have watered a
score of herds of diseased hogs.
In supplying well water to the ani
mals It Is easy to make provision
against their getting, their supply
filthy. There are a number of com
mercial hog waterers which are Inex
pensive and are admirable. These
may be attached to a water line or to
a stock tank or a barrel. Thev are
fitted with a float valve which auto
matically keeps the drinking vessel
full. The drinking vessel is small and
does not admit of the bogs getting
their feet into It Where a bairel is
used for supplying the animals It is
Advisable to odd a handful of lime to
the barrel of water, since this will ren
der it more palatable after becoming
heated by the sun. Stagnant water is
wholly unfit for hogs, and it is unwise
to allow tliem to have access to places
where It exists.
Fattening Lambs.
If the Iambs are to be fattened for
market start them on a little grain
Just as soon ns they will learn to eat
It, and feed grain continuously with
good pasture until they go to the block.
Prime fnt ribs cannot be produced by
alternate grass and grain. Tbey must
be pushed to lay on fat from the start
to the finish.
