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

It is becoming more and more
apparent that wheat and barley,
with alfalfa and wheat and hurley

with vetches or peas, make-a net

In his opinion, this North 1'aci

was now being p-ovided by t In

the Entrlish demand, during the
last few years, has gradually tie
creased and our products have been
displaced in this market by the
Danirh and Canadian product
which is almost wholly obtained
from pea fVd bogs. So superior is
this haeon considered that it si lls
several vnts higher per pound

As uiir frt ight disadvantage is only
a cent and a half over the Missis
sippi valley, in this trade we ought
to be a competitor iti the Ki'gli-h
market even, for the very highest
price paid for fancy bacon.

it is fouitd too that the name dis
crimination against the ton fat
corr; fed bacon is becoming mani
fest, and the packers are turning
their attention to our great hog
rai?ing capabilities in hopes to se
cure of us the article best suited to
their trade.
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
