Johnson of LaGrande, Oregon, wan on the North Port land market this week with a car load of hogs, which topped the market, Mr. Johnson Is a pioneer hog raiser and shipper, being one of the few hog men In Oregon who stays In the game year in and year out. Ha had the follow ing to say about the bog game: "I have been raising hogs for a period Of twenty years. During this twenty year period the qual ity of ( hogs in Oregon has taken great 'strides due largely to the use of pure blood grades, and have a better finished product, which brings me better price. It costs a little more to start with pure bloods, but this extra Initial cost is returned many times over u future operations. "I might mention, with no de sire to boast, that my hogs have " also made a pretty showing in the Pacific International Show. I won Grand Champion prize on car loads, pens of ' three and singles for six years 'and Grand Cham pion Barrow for two years. Compe titlori In the show Is growing pretty keen, but it Is interesting work, and the exhibits that beat me out must be goods ones. "During the years I have been producing hogs I have made a study of feeding and care of them. To begin with I tak the best of care of the sow before farrowing, and sow and litter after farrow ing. I have my breeding pens ar ranged with a "Creep" where the small pigs can eat without being disturbed by the older hogs. Short ly after farrowing I make avail able for the little pIkh a mixture of mill feed and skim milk, thin enough so they can drink It. When they are five or six weeks old I provide a ration of chopped wheat or corn, and also let, them run on clover or alfalfa pasture. With this way of handling the pig practically wean themselves at from six to eight weeks of age, and the process Is so gradual as to not hlndor their growth In any way. When they are front seven to eight weeks old I begin to feed them ground wheat and oats mixed, one-thlrti oats and two thirds wheat, In self-feeders plac ed In alfalfa pasture. These feed ers as well as pure water and plenty of shade Is provided for them at all times. At the age of four months I change the feed to either chopped -wheat or corn, and give them free access to gall trough at all times, as well as to a solution of lime water and twenty percent copperas. Once a week during the summer months I give them a twenty percent mix ture of sulphur with wood ashes. Some people feed soft coal, but I consider this a detriment. A prop erly constructed self-feeder Is the most economical way of feeding hogs for market. Handling hogs In the above manner has permit ted me to have them well finish ed for market at the age of about six months, when they will weigh from 180 to 225 pounds per head, which 1b the weight most suitable to the packer at this time. At the age of eight mouths my hogs weigh from 240 to 280 pounds. "I believe most farmers will con cede that hog production at this time is a profitable business. So far as I am concerned, I have al ways found the production of hogs to be profitable and I see no rea son why they should not be profit abl efoarll Bble for all time to come when properly raised and cared for. "I keep a herd of pure blood Poland Chinas of medium type. I believe I can make this type of hog ready for market In a short er time, and have a more desliabl finished product, than if' I used any other broed or type. The mcd lum Poland is prolific, my sows farrowing from seven to thirteen IjIrs, and I raise them all. From seven to nine pigs from one sow makes better pigs with fewer runts than when the litters are larger. I consldor the medium typo of Poland the easiest matur ing of any breed of hogs, with the Derkshlrea running second. - , i J s Coming To The Bligh Theatre Ian ARTCRArTPicmfct is 9 rrir Coming To The Liberty Theatre I ; Trn' ' -i'k-n CREAMERY SINKS WELL FOR COOLING PURPOSES Independence, Or., May 4.

Save the forests ANITA STEWART HAS ROLE OF BIGAMIST Anita Stewart v in "Playthings of Destiny," the Associated First National picture which will be shown at the Oregon theater, toqay and Friday has an un usually fascinating and Interest ing role. She plays the part ot Julie Laneau, a teacher of a back woods school, who falls desperate ly in love with and marries a va cationer there. A woman claiming to be her husband's real wife, accompanied by a lawyer who testifies to the truth of the claim, breaks her bubble of romance and drives her from her happy little home, out Into a northern blizzard. The storm beats her, but a government ranger finds her, and she raeevers in his cabin where they are snow bound' for six weeks. The lapse of time with no news of her convinces the husband that she has been lost In the storm. Julie believes that she has no legal standing as a wife and to ehield her child from social ostracism she yields to the ranger's plea of marriage. Then Fate steps in and makes the three of them her playthings in a manner that gives the picture its name. When the trio meet again, the happiness and ambition of the ranger is wrapped up en tirely In the actions of the vaca tioner. The succeeding events and the climax provide situations that are absorbingly interesting. Herbert Rawlingson plays the part of the vacationer and Walter McGrall the role of the govern ment employe. Edwin Carewe di rected the filming of the story and in the blizzard scenes is cred ited with having pictured "the most spectacular snow effects that have ever reached the screen. Jane Murfin suplled the story in her novel entitled "The Tornado," and Paul Anthony Kelly wrote the scenario.
