Kv Portland, . ( gam jkak Sir; Keplying to your favor of Mviit thite, in w hich urn request that 1 inform you us to the particular i.eeds of improvement in K development of the livostjek ii. :,i-ir?. vx it h special relerence to In u i;.ising iu the country tribu titv loyi'iir railroad as may ho in di. aii'ii by tin- class of animals go ing :o make ti the daily receipts at lit" 1 nion Stock Yards in this city. J wuiilu inform you thai ti n greatest need, next to increased production, is a better finishing of the stock before sending it to mar ket. During the early part of thin fall when lat hogs were in strong demand at fix aad three -quarter Cente, about two-thirds of the hogs shipped failed to meet the requite incuts of the demand as rcpreeciit ed by this higher price, and eonse qut.itiy had to be fold at a much lower figuie. For instance, one morning there were rive carloads of hogs in the yard, with a mat ket thai morning representing a de mand from Seattle, Tacoma and Troutdale which would have used this many hogs fur any one of the towns mentioned, yet, but one car load could bo t-old at the (ii cents, because th- rest were too poor to k'iii out profitably to the packer. There four remaiuing carloads were sold at ol and "J cents. A few days later nearly the fame con dition was repeated, only in this instance the thin hogs could not be Hold, and the shipper was thus compelled to re-ship them back to the valley for feeding. I have made careful inquiry of the many shippers who bring hogs over your lines into this market, and 1 am convinced that it is pos sible to mbre thoroughly finish these hogs before attempting to sell theai. The complaints ol some ex clusive wli'iot iurujers that this grain is too expensive to lecd to hogs is so thoroughly disproven by the magnificent success of so many others, who are, every year, in creasing their use of this food for fattening hog, that the contentions of the former class are unworthy of consideration. Their failure can always be traced to some other source than the wheat. But further inquiry among the raisers and feeders themselves de velops the fact that the most suc cessful and heaviest producers among them do qot feed .wheat alone, but that they raise good crops of peas and even corn on the land that they used to summer fal low; others, in addition to the grain, give considerable bulky green f od. In times, wh-m weath er permits, this green food is gath ered by the hogs themselves, but after the rains . commence these feede.s .'I'l i;ot allow the. lrigs to range and run ir. the mud and water, but cut the green clover, oats, vetches or whatever soiling crop they may have provided for tl f ir dairy herd and just, as regu larly as they feed these to their cow they give to the hogs as well. One very successful dairyman and hog raiser reports that he has cut oat and pea hay every month of the year and finds this method more economical for hog feeding than pasturing IlH also cvitlent fnuu the ex- , ..... .i -.r.il net it'iices ol I'otu wie and unsuccessful that equally nn- purtani. with abundance and; quality oC fed. is abundance audi quality of tdieller.

It must he remembered by our farmers though, that while a fat hog with pl' tily of lean meal is the ideal bacon hog, the simply lean hog with no fat is neither a bacon hog nor anything else among the market classes, but a feed'T, and feeder hogs i'ibii poor and very u of-ausitciorv marKei class ol animal, for which tie-re is no ih Hiatal at the stock yards except from the Chinese swill gatherers;. On the faun w here raised, all unfinished bogs should he too val Lable to he uold off the place. When fat hogs are selling for (i.J cents and thin, light hogs are sell ing for 5J cents, there is a greater loss in marketing the thin with the fat than is represented bv the mere difference of one cent in the price. To sell a loO pound hog r.t f cents' and $7."0, when the 200 ponnd hog at 0$ cents would bring $12, does not mean that the farmer illllllll lilll.'k- ry ."ii iv teilmcrilnT, new in- a leiH-vt ul, T i ,..iuu !,. - tlnni n ve.'ir nt lie- smiom i i.ii,..i , ,a,. want ei.ili--i.iiiT,i -nt in i-vi-tv ....
