COST I OF ft OF HOC MB
The following excellent review of
the cost arid profit of raining hugs in
the Inland empire Is from a bulletin
article by Dr. James Wlthycombe,
director of the Oregon experiment
station at Corvallls, who accompanied
the O. II. & X. demonstration train
through Umatilla county this week;
11 10 Hog Industry.
There Is no brunch of animal bus
man dry In a grain growing section
that will give quicker, surer, or larger
returns than will hogs. Despite this
fact, Oregon for a number of years
has utterly failed to produce suffi
cient pork products to supply the
home demand. It Is certainly a pe
culiar anomaly that tralnloads of Ne
braska fed hogs are brought past one
of the best hog producing sections of
the continent.
There Is not an agricultural district
In the whole nation that can surpass
the wheal farms of the Columbia
river basin for the economical produc
tion of a high class bacon hog. These
hogs can be grown and finished for
the market on field peas, or upon
wheat and barley. It has been demon
strated by farmers In this section that
hogs can bo profitably grown on
wheat pasture during the summer and
finished on crushed wheat In the fall.
Experimental feeding has shown
that three and one-half pounds of
wheat will produce a gain of one
pound of live weight In a hog fatten
ed for bacon. For a longer period of
fattening so as to secure a largo type
of hog, more grain will be required.
The heavier larded hog will require
about 450 pounds of. wheat for 100
pounds g:ln In live weight. This at
6ty cents per pound would bring to
the grower 73 cents per bushel for
his wheat. The bacon type would
take less wheat becaune the finishing
will be done in shorter time, hence
the less grain consumed per pound
gain. For 100 pound gains In this
type of a hog It will require about
3 r0 pounds of wheat.
This at 5V4 cents per pound will re
turn to the grower 94 cents per bush
el for his wheat. Even better returns
fur wheat fed than this can be secur
ed. If the young hogs are mainly
grown on parture, su.ii as r.lfalfa,
rape, peas, or .winter grains sown In
the spring, they can bo grown to a
fattening stage for 3 'i cents per
pound. All of the crops mentioned
can be successfully grown in the typ
ical wheat sections of eastern Ore
gon. '
The pigs should be farrowed enrlv
in the spring and permitted to run
with their dams on pasture until they
are at least two months old. In the
meantime they should be taught to
eat a smal supplemental grain feed.
This should be continued until the pig
weighs about BO pounds. After this
he will make a satisfactory growth on
a good pasture. By fall this pig
should weigh 125 pounds, costing 34
cents per pound. This Includes the
cost of the supplemental grain fed
and the value of the pasture.
The pig Is then finished for the
market, and during this process con
sumes 350 pounds of wheat and
makes an additional 100 pounds gain.
The cost of growing the pig Is $4.37,
but after consuming 350 pounds of
wheat he weighs 225 pounds worth
cents per pound, or represents a
value of $12.37. thus returning to the
grower for his wheat 18 or $1.37 per
bushel. Equally good results can be
nccured from peas. The hogs can
harvest these themselves. It Is believ
ed that a quarter section, of good
wheat land sown to peas would fatten
250 hogs worth $3000, and at the
same time carry over the breeding
stock.
It may be well to state that the
younger the pig the greater gains are
secured for the food consumed. Also
the shorter porlod of fattening the
greater the gains for food consumed.
This Is largely the reason why the
bacon type Is the more desirable to
grow. Furthermore, peas and wheat,
or peas and barley produce the very
best quality of bacon hog. In fact,
the wheat, barley and pea-fed hog
corn-fed In any discriminating mar
ket i Dairying Pays Well.
There are other branches of' live
stock husbandry which can be made
profitable with wheat growing. A
few draft colts raised each year and
sold when four years old would prove
to be a profitable Industry to the
wheat grower. Even dairying can be
made profitable on many wheat farms,
especially upon those which have bot
bottom land where alfalfa can be
grown. Even on the higher land
where peas and barley can be grown
dairying can be successfully followed.
The necessity for succulent feed Is not
so great In localities where hay can
be cured quickly and retain Its natural
color. Nicely cured alfalfa hay Is j
worth approximately as much as bran,
pound for pound. This gives the
dairying In an alfalfa growing dis
trict an advantage over other sections.
The opportunities are many on the
wheat farms of -the Inland empire for
the development of a great livestock
Industry. Th'ls will mean larger reve
nues, a denser population, better
homes and Improved social conditions.
MOXARCHS WILL CEIJ.BRATE
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARIES
King Alfonso Will Be 22 and Enieror
Xicliolns Will fk 40 Roth Notable
Events.
London, May 16. Two Important
anniversaries will be celebrtaed In
European royal families next week.
King Alfonso XIII. of Spain, will cel
ebrate his 22nd birthday tomorrow.
and on Monday Nicholas II, emperor
of Russia, will reach his fortieth mile
stone.
Owing to the relatlonalshlp existing
between the British royal family and
the sovereigns of Spain and Russia, the
two birthdays have attracted much
attention In London. It Is understood
that the stork will again visit the cas
tle of Spain's young king and queen
within a few months.
Alphons, prince of the Austrlas,
the Infant heir apparent to the throne
Is now a little more than a year old,
having been born on May 10 of last
year.
The birthday of the czar will be
made the occasion of much rejoicing
among the Russian people.
The star of revolution, which has
so long shone on unhappy Russia, Is
now ln temporary eclipse, and the sub
jects of the emperor are apparently
more contented than they have been
In years. The "Free Russia" propa
ganda, which has Its headquarters in
London, is languishing for lack ot fi
nancial support. Men acquainted
with International affairs .however,
believe that this Is but the calm be
fore thp xtorm nml thnt revolution
will again, at a no distant date, rav- i
n it a tYt Inn1 rt erraat n'hlta Ma. I
Another important historical anni
versary, that of the freedom of Nor
way, will be celebrated tomorrow by
the norweglans. The differences
which for a time marred the unity of
the Scandinavian people, and led to
the separation of Norway and Swe
den, have now about vanished, and
many natives of Sweden will Join to
morrow in the great celebration to be
held by the Norwegians of London.

POLITICAL FORECAST Fill WASHINGTON
Washington, May 16. Secretary
Taft will be the presidential nominee
of the republican party in this year's
campaign. Tills conclusion has been
forced upon even the most unwilling,
nw that all the state and congression
al district conventions have been held.
While many of the southern states will
send contesting delegation, on the
face of the returns from apparently
in control of the situation and most
of the Dixie delegations will proba
bly be found lined up with the solid
west for the Ohlan. Unless there Is a
profound change In sentiment between
now and the date set for the conven
tion, Taft's nomination, on the face
of the returs from the state and dis
trict conventions, is assured. In the
last week or two many of the high
salaried writers and employes at the
headquarters of opposing candidates
have been dismissed, and the more
candid of the boomers of Cannon,
Knox, Hughes, Fairbanks, et al., admit
that the battle Is apparently lost.
While Interest In the republican
contest is subsiding, the next week
will be a busy one ln democratic cir
cles. Conventions and primaries will
be held In many states, In different
parts of the country, and will afford
a fair measure of the strength of the
Bryan opposition.
Democratic conventions will be
held Monday In California, at Fresno,
and in Washington at Spokane., Ac
cording to advices frem the coast,
Bryan Is certain of Indorsement by
both conventions. State primaries
will be held In Alabama on Monday.
The sentiment ln that state Is alleged
to be for Bryan for president, and the
delegation will probably" go for him
as well as Instructed for a platform
In line with the policies he advocates.
On Tuesday a primary election will
be held In Florida, at which delegates
to tho Denver convention will be cho
sen, 'mere is little aouot tnnt tne en
tire Florida delegation will be for Bry
an, as the opposition has been weak
and dispirited and the Nebraskan Is a
favorite with a large majority of the
democratic voters.
Wednesday will be an Important
day ln the democratic calendar, since
state conventions will be held In
will command a premium over the Pennsylvania, Missouri, South Caro
1 Una to be held next Wednesday will
be solidly for Bryan, nil of these states
have been centers of opposition to the
Nebraskan and the action of the con
ventions will be watched with a great
denl of Interest by Washington poli
ticians. In South Carolina the fight over
Bryan has not been so bitter as in
the northeastern states, but there has
been much powerful opposition to the
Nebraskan. Senator Tillman, the most
powerful figure in South Carolina pol
itics, is thought to favor Bryan, but
he will not take an active part in the
campaign. The convention to be held
next Wednesday ln Columbia will elect
the district delegates, as well as the
delegates at large.
In Michigan, where the democratic
state convention will be held at Lan
sing on Wednesday, considerable sen
timent In favor of Johnson boomers
who have been carrying on a vigorous
campaign during the last few weks.
According to reports received from
Michigan, the voters are about equally
divided between the Bryan and John
son factions, and any attempt to in
struct for Bryan will probably lead to
a hot fight on the floor of the con
vention. Missouri democrats will hold their
state convention In Jefferson City
next Wednesday. The selection of a
delegation favorable to Bryan is a
certainty. Popular sentiment among
the rank and file of Missouri demo
crats is all ln favor of the Nebraska
candidate.
The Pennsylvania democratic con
vention, to be held In Harrlsburg on
Wednesday, will be the most Import
ant of the week In Its far-reaching
effects. For nearly three months
the Pennsylvania Bryan League has
been carrying the Indorsement of Its
candidate, and the embodying in the
platform of his views on national
questions. If the league should be
successful In Its endeavors to capture
the big Pennsylvania delegation, the
position of the Bryan boomers at the
Denver convention would be render
ed almost impregnable.. Those who
favor Johnson or Gray realize this and
will make every effort to stem the
Bryan tide in the convention and to
follow New Tork'a lead ln sending an
unlnstructed delegation.
