Before beginning to write on the subject, allow me to explain that by pork I mean any and all cured products of the" hog except lard. There is a great misconception -abroad, especiallj' in Oregon, con -cerning the production of pork in Oregon. A general conception or, belief prevails that the produc tion of pork is dependent upon corn. Corn and bogs are often menti oned in the same breath, and tue fnct that "corn is net produced in large quantities in Oregon leads to the beliel that hog raising cannot be carried ou profitably here. All of this is a misconception and a mistake. The production of first class pork can be carried on in Ore gon profitably. It is not nescesary to feed corn in order lo produce lirst class pork. Cornfed jvu-k is fat, -oily, greasy, but is not the firmest, nor the sweetest. Corn pork shrivels in the frying pan leaving a large precentage of grease. Hams and shoulders are subject to the same shrink age. I have seen hogs fattened in 'Oregon on wheat, on barley and on mixed feed. The best, -sweetest, firmest pork I have ever eaten was produced y feeding boiled potatoes and mill fijed. Alfalfafed hogs make -excellent. pork when '"fatted" on barley and wheat. Can such pork be produced profitably? I have already said yes. West of the Cascade mountains clover "pasture for the shoats will bring them down to Pall in good condi tion and ready to put on flesh when potatoes are dug. The small, knotty and otherwise un marketable potatoes can be fed to the porkers,.boiIed with a small precentage of chop or mill feed, and they will quickly put on flesh, and when readj' to kill "will be found excellent meat, which by proper curing will make the best of bams.sbould . ers, and bacon; in other words, superior pork at a moderate cost. A cost that will leave the pro ducer a neat, and, in many instances, handsome, profit. With these facts in view can .anyone give a good reason for so much money going East all the while for pork? Withpota toesgoing to waste and hundreds of acres of good clover land un used can anyone doubt that pork can be produced profitably in Oregon? I could tell of . numbers of places, in every section of Ore gon where I have seen pork, good pork, produced at a profit, but apace forbids, and I will only add that any fanner in Oregon can find profit in hog raising, if he can but realisv pasture during the growing period, supplemented at fatten ing times with barley, wheat or potatoes and chops, which will produce a cheap, sweet, juicy, and superior quality of pork.

James llathone is proving himself to be OL6 of the most enterprising farmers in the community, Tho way lie is turning the dlc over Isn't slow, and he is making t-ubstantlal improve ments on his ranch. Well, go ahead Jim, we believe we'll get a large recompense for our labor on our ranches. Mr, Borden nud Mr. Rose are busy burning sage brush. Rock Robinson has been improving his ranch in the way of feuclng. Ho lias also purchased and broke h team and will be kept quite busy now teach ing them the-art of working and being i;ood at the same time. Mr. Granneois doidg lome plowing with a garg.

Barton went over to Opal Prairie Saturday ou business. They stayed over Bunday, however, as Mr. Morti more preached at the school house Sunday morning. Rock Robinson and two dauRbters made a very pleasant call at the home of Mr. Mortimore this week. Miss Addle Barton was the guest of the Misses Phillips, of Madras, last Bunday. These nice warm days are iudUcing the sage ticks out to life and liberty, and accordingly the residents of this neighborhood are enjoying the pleas ure of their comprny. Indeed, they try ti make us believe they are our warmest friends. But we doubt it. Iu fuct, wo half believe they are like some peaple who lik to visit their neighbors just to get a good quare meal. But there is one thing certain, if we ever catch them tuking a nieal they're not been Invited to we'll Itf- suro you it will be their last meal with us. Rev. E. M. Mortimore Is suffering from a very severe cough, and hid friends entertain serious doubts an to his recovery, unless some special effort is put forth to aim him.
