Any day, the market basket travels to be filled with se- lectivev. care, : ill them. ' his i i i grain. For fattening pigs the best proportion is four pounds of pota toes to one pound of grain. For the breeding herd a higher pro portion of potatoes may be used; that is, about six pounds potatoes to one .pound of grain. .Wean ling pigs or, fattening pigs should be fed all they will consume, but for the breeding herd only enough should be used to keep them , in good breeding condition." f : Barley, corn or wheat are best suited to feed . with potatoes for fattening pigs, while oats are suit able for the breeding herd, j Bulky feed such as bran, mill run, etc., should not be fed with potatoes. Skim milk or butter milk can be fed with potatoes, but such feeds I replace the potatoes of the ration rather than the grain. The grain should be mixed with the potatoes before' being fed to eliminate the chance of some pigs getting all -grain and others all potatoes'. Care should be taken that the potatoes are not allowed to sour before feeding. lISfllOWMfi! We Can Grow the' Feed and We Have the Climate; Why .Not More Hogs? Editor Statesman: - While in: Iowa a .little over a year ago, an experienced raiser of hogs asked these .questions: . , : "Can you grow clover success fully?" .::;. I answered that the Salem dis trict is one of the leaders in: the United States in growing clover. 'What about barley " Barley grows well; It is sown both In the spring and falL , "What about your market for hogs?" ; ' Our market is higher than yours The 4 price at Portland is usually higher than Chicago..; . .

"'5 "Roiln nood," Reginald DeKoveng masterpiece and acclaimed by the music-loving public as the greatest comic opera ever written. Is annouricied as the musical feature of this season's Chautauqua.! It is a full, well sung; cleverly acted and costumed production under that vet eran conductor. May Valentine. .Only the best j talent is employed by Miss Vailentine and her record in the operatic production' field assures a finished production of this ever popular and well-loved opera. :. Thei public has thrilled over the romance? of the' lovable and gallant robber ebief and beautiful Maid Marian in print and on the screen. To see these characters Impersonated by' clever ictors ; to be transported to the greens of Sherwood forest; to laugh at old Friar Tuck and the Sheriff of Nottingham all accompanied by DeKoven's musical Inter pretations, will be like having a dream come true. "O Promise Me" to' the- soulfuT sraliis" of which so many couples have plighted troth ; "Brownj October. Ale" .with its, musing' chorus, and tthe 6tirring,tAr mourer's Song," sung to the rhythmic accompaniment of anvil beats in front of a flaming forge will be outstanding solos in a production that is perfectly balanced. A splendid orchestra is a feature of the produc tion. ' "What about growing - green feed?' Some! form of green feed can be available nearly every month in the year. "Then why don't your -section raise more hogs?" I neVer ; did get that question answered entirely satisfactorily. That very day his hogs were out "hogging off" a field of corn in zero weather, and - they were making1 money for him. : He had tried raising a few fall litters, tbut , the cold, weather had retarded the growth of the pigs (in spite' of a warm-, hog house) so they; were of little, value. : As a- rule he only raised one litter per year from each sow, and they were farrowed in March. As I saw' It, his only advantage was in j the , corn feed that could be cribbed, in quantities and fed at any, time of the year. , - On the 6ther ban, our advan tages were many, yet the: fact re maiued that he raised perhaps 350 hog per year, while many ef our farmers do not raise hqgs en6vgh to supply even their owivable. 1 f the Read races. the Yn Personally I have never been en tirely "sold" to the idea of hog raising on a large scale In western Oregon, yet I do believe that many more hogs could be raised at a profit, than are now. raised. The first requisite . is cheap feed. It the hog is to be raised on mill feed purchased at a long price after perhaps 'several have had a profit front handling It, then it is very questionable if It could even be made to break even, but if sufficient hogs are raised to util ize, the cheap feed available, then a good profit can be' realized. On the j small places, perhaps not more than one brood sow, or it might . be more profitable to occasionally . buy a feeder pig. or so to utilize the otherwse waste feed at a prof t ; , on the larger places an increasing number could be raised. I do not believe the Salem district Is destined to ever be PRIMARILY a hog - growing district, yet I do. believe that a. much larger number of ; hogs than are now raised could be raised at a profit. . .. .. ; j , j E, A.

Protection- From the Gray Diggers; Fighting Anthfa cnose; Dairy Costs i Ground 1 squirrels or ''gray dig gers" are! a menace tq orchards as well as to general farms. Squir fels travel long distances, and do considerable Injury to young trees. Growers' in Oregon are meeting the rodent problem by protecting the trees and poisoning the squir rels. Poisoned grain can be ob tained from the county agent, f Commercial growers sometimes protect the trunks with wire screening.! Home orchardists are also; beginning to realize the . im portance of this protection. " Door screening is prepared to protect : young trees from gray diggers' and other rodents. A roll of screening' 28 inches wide is cut lengthwise into two 14-inch strips which are; then cut into widths convenient for the trees. After placing the screen about the trunk, it can easily be secured by forcing a frayed edge through the mesh, then' bending' over the free ends. i: Currant and goosberry authrac nose or leaf spot may be checked on Oregon bushes by a bordeaux spray, 4-4-50, Just after the fruit 'Is picked. Lime-sulfur may be used for this application, but the experiment station , has found it rather less effective and more apt to cause spray injury in hot weath er than the bordeaux. - Success in dairying In Oregon is more dependent on a' knowledge of. costs than on adequate mar kets, ince this information Is FARM IBS Miss Rich Love Victim In "Beau Drummel" Because sbe possesses the grace and charm of royalty, Irene Rich, screendom's womanly woman, was gfven the opportunity to portray the Duchess of York in "Beau Brummel." the adaptation of the famous' Clyde Fitch, play, starring John .

They must be young cows or heif ers capable of producing 300 pounds of fat a iyear when they are mature. They must .be sound in health, good breeders and free from tuberculosis.
