ALL AROUND
THE FARM
SELECTING THE STALLION.
Sirt'i Influence Is Predominant and He
Should Be Chosen With Care.
Prepared by United States department of
agriculture.
Tlio stallion is the key to successful
horse breeding and therefore should
be chosen with the grentest care. The
influence of the sire Is predominant,
because he directly affects a greater
number of offspring than does the sin
gle female. Horse breeders should
recognize the fact that It Is not a pay-
Draft stallion showing weight,
long croup, short, smooth coupling
and well sloped shoulders, the head
denoting Intelligence and refine
ment. Ing proposition simply to breed mares
to any stallion that may be available.
A sound, pure bred stallion should be
used if the best results are to be ob
tained. The stallion selected should conform
as closely as possible to the breed and
type of the mares that are to be bred.
Stiillious of pure breeding are, by vir
tue of their unmixed ancestry, possess
ed of greater pre-potency than are
grades or scrubs and will therefore in
variably impress their offspring with
their breed characteristics and Individ
ual merit.
A low service fee is too often the
deciding factor with many farmers and
mare owners In the selection of a sire.
A low service fee ought never to be a
temptation, but, rather, should be tak
en as a warning. A low fee is usually
a sign of an inferior stallion. Colts
from inferior or scrub sires will sell
for much less than those sired by the
sound, pure bred stallion.
Sound, high class horses are the Ideal
farm power, and good mares bred to
pure bred sires of the same breed and
conformation pay good profits not only
In the colts they produce, as has been
shown, but also In the labor they per
form. Toor horses render poor serv
ice and often cost more to keep than
they are worth. The loss In feed con
sumed and lack of labor performed by
the inferior and scrub horses of the
country is enormous. This expense
can be greatly reduced If farmers ana
mure owners will breed their mares
to the right sort of stallions and pro
duce the kind of horses the farm re
quires and the market demands.
The time to begin is now. All In
ferior pure, bred colts and all grade
and mongrel colts should be castrated.
Only the best mares should be retain
ed and these bred to sound, pure bred
sires. One of the best ways to stim
ulate interest in the breeding of bet
ter horses Is to arrange to hold a fall
colt show. A string of promising colts
will afford striking evidence of the re
sult of breeding the best and prove a
splendid advertisement for the com
munity. REARING SPRING PIGS.
Youngsters Should Have a Dry Bed and
Be Carefully Fed.
A comfortable house with dry bed
ding means much to tlrb spring pigs,
writes J. Coleman In the Farm and
Fireside. In fact, all other conditions
may be perfect, and yet If this point Is
neglected failure may result.
The pigs will soon learn to eat. The
amount of feed can be increased as
they advance In age, but they shouldn't
be fed more than they will clean up
nicely. An occasional scalding and
sunning of the trough will keep it
clean.
The first four months of a pig's life
determine largely whot his after suc
cess Is. Never let him lose bis pig fat
during this time. Prepare for ample
grazing as soon as the soil is warm
enough by sowing rape or rape and
grain mixed. This can be grazed by
the pigs within six to eight weeks aft
er sown. Allow them to run on auy
green crops, especially clover or vetch,
as soon as they will graze.
A succession of field grazing crops
maturing through the summer and fall
will supplement their daily grain ra
tion and will ennble them to produce
their gain at a profit. Tigs fed on
grain alone, with little or no grazing
crops, will return Httlo or no profit.
Cleaning Alfalfa of Weeds.
Alfalfa which Is two or more years
old should be thoroughly disked or har
rowed after the first cutting. Fields
which are absolutely weedlcss do not
need much dishing or harrowing, but
the ordinary Held, where blue grass,
redtop or similar grasses have come
In, should be given a thorough disking
or harrowing. On the average farm
the disk is the best available tool which
can De used, or the spring tooth har
row will do. The object Is to tear out
the grass. American Agriculturist

NOW GOING FULL SWING
Oregon City probably never before witnessed a sale where the people took such a deep interest as
in this sale. They know our dry goods are all new and dependable none better. They know our cloth
in, shoes, furnishing goods, and furniture are the best that money can buy they know this store gives
exactly what it advertises they know that merchandise of all kinds is going sky high in price and
many a man, woman and family are not only anticipating their present wants, but buying their future
needs as they realize that they may never again have an opportunity to buy goods at such prices as are
now offered at this MIGHTY CLOSING-OUT SALE. This is no clearance sale or sale to reduce stock
and unload It is a real, genuine, bona fide closing-out sale and without regard for present high cost of
merchandise we are sacrificing our entire $100,000.00 stock bought before the big advance at prices
very much less than wholesale costs in many instances. REMEMBER every dollar's worth of goods in
this store must and will be sold and there will be 'no let up to the cutting and slashing of prices until every
dollar's worth is disposed of. All our fixtures, show cases, safe, adding machine, etc., are for sale and
no reasonable offer will be refused.
Main
report that Stephen Carver, president
of the Portland & Oregon City rail
road, will put three full crews of
workmen along the Clear Creek right-of-way
after next Monday. This is
taken as an indication that the sur
vey through that territory is com
pleted and the extension of the road
will soon be a reality. Residents in
the Logan district say that along the
roughest part of the route, that be
tween the bluff and the creek on B.
A. Benson's place, it. will be neces
sary to do a great deal of cutting
and blasting, making the cost of the
work heavy.
STOCK MOVES RAPIDLY
Active Week at Yards Presaged by
Monday's Business
The week's opening market in the
Portland Union Stock Yards was very
active in all departments, and espec
ially so in the cattle section. The
stock offered consisted of 1400 cattle,
1000 hogs, and 1500 sheep.
Cattle. The cattle department
showed a considerable accumulation
of strength through the day, raising
the quotations 15 to 25 cents in the
various classes. The great bulk of
volume was in good, but unfinished
steers, which sold between $8.00 to
$9.00. Some excellent cows were of
fered and changed hands between
$7.00 to $8.00. The calf market was
up a good 25 cents and there still
prevails a strong demand for good
top steers. Trading was prompt and
active; all stock offered had changed
DULL AND SHARP
SHOOTING PAINS
Michigan Lady Suffered Such Paini
In Back and Head. But Says
Cardui Stopped These
Bad Spells.
Palmyra, Mich. Mrs. Chas. T. Ful
ler, of this place, writes: "In 1911 I
got run-down k2& I suffered great
pain... with both dull and sharp
shooting pains... also back and head.
I was weak and could only drag
around, and should have been in bed,
for I really wasn't able to be up. At
times I would have spells that would
be so bad I d have to go to bed, and
iuffered intensely...
I decided to try Cardui, and saw a
great Improvement in less than a
month's time. I used 7 or 8 bottles
and was stronger... I got so much
better that my strength returned and
my work was easy for me. Cardui did
me a world of good. It built me up In
health and strength. I haven't had one
of those bad spells since. I haven't
had to take any mors medicine since
or have any doctors either and have
been able to do my work right along
hiKhly as the best medicine I know !
.1 recommend it to otner women
of for women who suffer from female
trouble."
If you suffer from female troubles,
follow this advice. Get a bottle of
Cardui today and give it a thorough
trial. It should help you, as it has
helped thousands of other women In
the past 40 years. At all druggists.

HELD AT GOLDENDALE
Young Man Charged with Ransacking
is from Oregon City
A man giving his name as John
Ployt was arrested Sunday at Golden
dale, Wash., by Sheriff Ira Hender
son on the charge of entering and
ransacking the house of Joo Young,
a farmer, eight miles east of Golden
dale, during the owner's absence.

City, with serial No. 50 and said that
his draft number was 1694. He also
had an employe's identification card
issued by the Oregon City Woolen
mills April 6 last, No. 324. Ployt
told the officers that he left Oregon
City and came to Shipherd Springs to
take treatment for stomach trouble
and that he was on his way across

outdoor work in the fruit orchard?.
He says he went into the Joe Young
house to get something to eat, having
walked up into the Klickitat valley
