I have; just ended a : 1,682-mile
trip, starting from Bombay, and I
encountered some of the: finest roads
in the world and some of the worst.
A common obstacle on an Indian
road is a caravan of bullocks and
Bullocks travel much like a

Elephants are uninstructed in
road courtesy, and may. be called
obstructions, and camels are curi
ous, a bit arrogant,, and quite
without motor manners.

Bullocks are stubborn, and untrained in right of way.
in India you constantly encounter
camels. Camel caravans are so or
ganized that half of the camels keep
to one side of the road and half to
the other.' When the caravan leader
finds a motor car j behind him he
takes the attitude hat getting by
is entirely up to th motorist. The
motorist must not stampede the
camels, so be has to watt for his
chance sometimes for , an hour.
Elephants '. know nothing about
pointer- dog from on side of the
road to the other. Just when you
think you have an opportunity to
get By, a bullock will jswiag out to
one side or the other. IHand signals
mean nothing to them. .You just
have to trail along uptil . you find
a place to pass, generally by en
tirely leaving the roadi

friend' of mine driving! Ion open Car
with the top up once tried to pass
an elephant and still keep on the
road. As the car passed, the elc1
phant swayed and thej car bumped
the elephant's legs. ; The elephant
road hog then showed further dis
courtesy. With his . trunk- he
snatched off the car top and hurled
It rods away. : 4'..
Taking wrong roads means en
countering bad roads. . The" worst
roads are through the ;villages nar
row and; badly worni Roads be

is troubled by cluldren who play a
game called "jLast across." The
winner Is the - child 'who is last to
run in front of a moving motor car.
The children think it great sport,
but not the motorist. i

Some of" the" streams are too deep
to ford so one must make use of

used was just : three Inches wider
than the car and to pet on to it
we had to go down a 45-degree in
cline and stop the moment: the front
wheels reached the side of the boat.
If we had failed to do, that our car
"would have gone into thejj river.
In some sections the Government
exacts a road toll. In other sec
tions we were asked to ilmw a pass.
We had a book mark that bore the
royal arms. ' This was quite satis-

tiined. It i"generaUy advisable
that the farmers rahre their own
feeder1, pigs unless it. be where
grain farms and alfalfa farms are
ih eloRA nroxlmitv. In which case
the alfalfa farm can well raise the good pasture they should bring a
feeders' and the grain farmer fat
ten them. j I ': ' ; 1
It is recognized, however, that
where harvest is exceptionally
clean or where water is not avail
able, pig raising is not advisable.
III. : That pigs can be fattened
on garbage and that grain is need
ed only when 4here is a ahortage
of garbage. Pigs so fed fatten
rapidly and make porky good
enough for the! top market. The
garbage should be as free as pos
sible from foreign material, coffee
grounds, soap, dish .water, tooth
picks, and broken dishes. If fresli
it does not I need to be cooked. The
average amount of ; garbage . per
person is about one-third pound
per day. Six to eleven pounds of
garbage for fattening pigs will re
place one pound of barley Gar
bage is not recommended for sows
suckling pigs or for shotes under
75 sounds unless fed in very lim
ited amounts, j - '
IV. That where pigs are fed
entirely on , marketable : feed and
price per 200 pounds approximat
ing 'the price of 616 pounds of
graih. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that
the normal ratio between the price
of corn and pork is 616 pounds
(11 bushels) of corn to 100
pounds of pork live weight,- The
average ratio of grain prices to
pork; prices in Oregon is less favor
able than this and more commonly
is five or five and a half. For this
reason we do not recommend that
pig Raising beattempted where the
pigs, cannot be used as a means of
marketing by-products such' as
Skim milk, stubble, garbage, waste
fruit, etc. A large increase in our
supply of feed grain accompanied
by a much lower price of such
grains might change this condi
tion. V. That pig raisers should not
buy: feed . other than tankage or
other supplements and that farm
ers (who do not have the grain on
their, own farms should not raise
pigs. That if the. recommenda
tions above would be literally fol
lowed j Oregon would produce
about 250,000 hogs annually to
which could be added around 25,
000 'grown .-'largely on garbage.
This would 'make 275,000 pigs
which ljk somewhat more than we
are now producing, and which is
almost; enough to snpply local
needs, i

That Canadians pay more atten
tion to .social t orders than their
American cousins .was the im
pression received - by T. B. Kay,
president, of the .Rotary club who
told' members" of the organization
about the trip to the international
convention in Toronto at . the
regular luncheon at the Marion
hotel Wednesday noon.; Eric But
ler, .secretary-,. of, the club, who
was also; a delegate, will speak!
about the" convention itself next
week.
Delegations met .the special
trajn at all the principal cities
and accorded the visitors a royal
welcome, Mr. Kay said. Automo
bile tours were features' of all
day stopovers at Lake ' Louise,
Banff. Winnipeg and other points.
Mr. Kay expressed a pessimistic
attitude toward business condi
tions, declaring that the news-,
papers arewsuppressing facts and
that a majority of textile mills in
the east are closed down or oper
ating on short shifts. Business
conditions' ar on a verge of a
panic, be said, and the trend ia
westward. The opinion was pre
valent in the east that Coolidga
would be fleeted and that condi
tions would Improve after", the
election, in the fall. ,
. Mr. Kay was; very much -.Ira-pressed
"with the, substantial pub
lic bulldlrrgsln the provinces, ai l
held w that , advantages . in general
were equal to if not better thaa
those in th a United States. Laws
are fewer and better enforced, he
said, and though many of the'
provinces are not "dry , though,
the saloon has been abolished, he
did not see a single drunken man
oh the entire trip.. Many of the
cities operate their own hospitals,
he said,-and taxation, citing Win
nipeg - as an example, is lower
thaji here.- This citythas a" popu
lation of around 200,000 with a
tax levy of ,29 .mills, with the
same in. Toronto, a city of 700,
000, while in Salem the levy la
49 mills and 2 in Portland: This
in spite of the fact that Canada
was at war. for four years and tho
United States only r two years.
Property is assessed nearly the
same as that here, running be
tween; 501 and 60 cents" on the
dollar.
Between 9,000 and 10,000 dele
gates, in addition to their wives
and families, were entertained by
the : Toronto Rotary club at the
convention-.
. Harry Shields, of the Standard
Publishing company, who is now
at .the Turner revival meetings,
delighted the club with severs
Irish selections and other oil
favorites. Mr. . Shields Toice it
