"SoMKTJiiNG Wrong" Some one lias said: "If a stranger comes to your church a second time and is still a stranger, there is something wrong with your church." Well said hut not enough said. There is something wrong with that stranger, too, especially if he is a churchmem- ber. It must be conceded that there is "something wrong" with a Christian Church that is habit ually inattentive to strangers who come into her services or make their abode in the commu nity, temiMirarily or permanently. It is the business of the church to welcome strangers and un selfishly seek their welfare, and especially to interest them in the things which pertain to vital god liness and the moral and the re ligious uplift of the community. This is a ministry which should he promptly fulfilled. It is a function which should not le re garded as an irksome task, but should be made one of the de lights of the program of the church in her relation to the common jM'ople. Baptist Church. By J. K. I'. Carson Last Sunday the pastor brought us two strong sermons. The morning discourse was full of spiritual food, comfort and cheer to the believer in Christ. The evening subject presented clearly the thought, "That we are not our own for we are bought with a price;" therefore, we cannot do as we please, cannot follow the inclinations of our carnal nature without incurring the displeasure of Him who paid the price of purchase, that we might be set free from the bondage of sin. The concluding thought was a powerful plea for the sinner to accept Christ. We were much pleased to see so many at the services and the fervent spirit of the" worshipers makes the outlook for the future hopeful. Next Sunday the morning sub ject will be, "Lessons From An Unread Chapter," and in the evening, "The Pilgrims Plea." Sunday School 10 a. m. Every body will have a cordial welcome. Christian Church. By J. M. Ormck Preaching services next Sun day at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Every one cordially invited. THE PROFITJ HOGS The Prairie ranch, located a few miles southeast of Fossil, Wheeler County, shipped a car load of hogs to the Portland Union Stockyards a few days ago and they topped the market, selling for 9 1-2 cents per pound. There were 79 head in the car, their combined weight was a trifle more than 20,000 pounds, or an average of almost 2T0 pounds. The check given in pay ment, after deducting freight, feed and commission charges, was for $lK.Tl..'i2. That shows a net price of $21.08 per animal. Mention was made in these columns a short time ago of a former shipment of hogs from this ranch, and it was then stated that a carload would he sent to the Portland market about every two weeks during the balance of the year, there being about ZM) head feeding on this and other ranches owned by the same com pany. The hogs just shipped had eat en, all told, about 12 bushels of grain each and about 250 jxninds of ground alfalfa. Aside from this, they had been fed nothing, but had, of course, been pastured on alfalfa, stubble and grass. The grain fed them as pigs and hogs would be worth today at the ranch where it was fed not to exceed $7 per animal; the al falfa meal perhaps $2.50 per ani mal. It cost to haul them to market, we will say. about $40. That makes a total cost of $700, to which must be added the cost of producing the pigs. Two dol lars and a half each would be a fair figure for this. In fact, if any breeder with ample facilities for keeping a large number of brood sows could sell his day-old pigs at that figure he would never carry them along even to shoat days. We find the 70 head of hogs cost in real cash outlay $900, which does not include the inde terminate expenses of labor and ranch expenses, including taxes, interest, etc. It is impossible to figure such costs, but the surplus shown by the above figures, $1833.32, is surely ample to give a large profit. Suppose the com pany keeps up .its semi-monthly shipments during the balance of the year and each carload does as well. That would make ten carloads and a profit of $&533.20. As there are now more than 2000 head of hogs on the ranches of the company, the, shipments will probably continue the year round. Compare these figures with the grain business. Suppose in place of feeding their 35,000 to 40,000 bushels of grain to hogs they had hauled it to Condon, the nearest railroad point. Or suppose the road were already built to Fossil and they hauled the grain there, say an average haul from the ranch of 15 miles. The wheat fed this last carload of hogs weighed 5G.880 pounds; the fat tened hogs weighed but 20,000 pounds. The point is just this: Feed more of the grain to livestock. Our sheepowners are in a terrible flurry about the tariff on wool. Let them try to forget it and build their business along new lines better wool and better mutton, and more of each. That means grain-fed sheep, and why not? We can produce as good mutton as is grown in the world, and we ought to double and treble our output and raise the quality until we control the markets of the west.
