Mr. Byron Hunter, agricultur ist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who visited Madras last week with the Farmers' Demonstration train gives us the following address for publication. Ibis too long to publish entire this week and will be continued in the next issue. To produce pork economically much of the growth of the hog must be made upon cheaply grown feeds. Crops must be provided which are inexpensive to grow, which mature at differ ent seasons of the year, and which the hog may harvest for himself. Such crops will greatly reduce the labor of caring for the hogs an i the cost of production. I will give just one example to make this clear. By carefully weighing their hogs and the grain fed for a number of years, the Williams Brothers in Wallowa valley. Ore gon, determined the amount of grain necessary to produce a pound of gain when fattening their hogs in the fall of the year. Under their conditions they found that five pounds of ground barley fed to hogs in a lot would produce a pound of gain. They then began feeding beets with the ground barley. ICO head of hogs were weighed and fed for 60 days. With two and one-third pounds of ground barley and what beets the hogs would eat up clean they obtained a pound of gain. The beets were a mix ture of the common sugar beet and the White French sugar beet. During the fall of 1907 they weighed 86 head of hogs and fed them 21 days. With 2.32 pounds of barley and 5.42 pounds of beets they got a pound of gain. In other words 5.42 pounds of beets reduced the amount of bar ley necessary to produce a pound of gain from 5 pounds to 2.32 pounds. Before entering upon the dis cussion of the crops to use in pro ducing hogs economically I wish to say that failure in hog raising may result from many causes other than a lack'of proper feed. The following are some of the essentials which should receive due consideration. That the hog may be the scav anger of the farm, it should be enclosed with a hog-tight fence. The stubble fields can then be gleaned and the volunteer grain grazed during the fall and wint er. Good pure water must be provided for hogs can not be ex pected to make profitable gains without plenty of water. Suit- OREGON CENTRAL LUMBER & SUPPLY CO.

Shelter is espec ially important if the sows are to raise two litters each year. Hogs require considerable attention and this should be given by one who likes hogs and has some in terest in them. The art of feed ing, breeding, selection, etc., must be mastered. The follow ing bulletins will be found help ful to those interested in hogs: Farmers' Bulletin No. 205, Pig Management. Farmers' Bulletin No. 272, A Successful Hog and Seed Corn. Farm. Farmers' Bulletin No. 397, Hog Cholera. Farmers' Bulletin No. 438, Hog Houses. These bulletins may be ob tained free by writing to the Secretrry of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. C. PASTURE CROPS There are altogether too many hog raisers who do not fully ap preciate the value of a good hog pasture. Careful tests of experi ment stations and the experience of successful farmers throughout the United States indicate con clusively that from two-fifths- to one-half of the grain necessary to produce a pound of gain on grain alone may be replaced by good pasture. Where it is possible the pasture should be divided into two or three lots and the hogs changed from one to the other. Managed in this way the pasture will carry about one-half more head per acre than wher-? the hogs remain in one enclosure all the time. When a pasture has been given a rest of ten to fifteen days the forage is clean, tender and pal patable and the hogs eat it read ily. One of the most vital mis takes made in raising hogs is the attempt of many to grow young hogs on pasture alone. While a Jiog can digest large quantities of forage, by nature he is a con sumer of consentrated feed and J the grain fed daily while on pas- . ture should seldom be less than 2 per cent of the live weight of i,it cne nog. In the drier portion of the wheat belt where the rainfall is considered too scant to grow al falfa successfully, wheat and bar ley are successfully used for hog pasture. Hogs are very fond of barley until it is headed out. Volunteer grain in the stubble field furnishes the earliest pas ture in the spring. This is used until the land is plowed. The main winter wheat field may also be used for early spring pasture, many farmers allowing the hogs to remain in the winter wheat until they begin to chew the heads. Barley sown in the early spring or wheat sown in the fall or spring furnishes pasture from the time the grain is three to four inches high until it dries up, about the 15th of June to the 1st of July. Summer pasture may be pro vided with wheat, corn, sorghum or rape. The land for wheat, corn and surghum should be plowed during the fall, winter, or early spring. It should be thoroughly cultivated several times before it is planted to re tain moisture and destroy weeds. If planted about the 15th of May on well prepared land, wheat should be ready to pasture in about three weeks. This will re main green until far into the summer. Corn and sorghum should be planted from April 20th to May 20th according to the al titude and the season. These two crops are usually ready for pas ture in six to eight weeks after being planted. The crop should be from 15 to 18 inches high when the hogs are turned in. When planted to corn, sorghum or rape the land may be cultivat ed with the hogs in the field. Y Z8N'"lh of Stockyards MADRAS.
