HOG RAISING IN OREGON Wm Schulmerich Recommends Feeding of Alsihe n.nd R.e.pe. ' Wm. Schulmerich of Farmington, Ore., writes as follows to VS. L. Conuin, general freight and passenger ageut, S. P. Co., ou tho subject ot the profitable, rattug cf hogs : I will give my experience in raising and fattening hogs, which lias proved to be the most protfiablu stock I have ou tho farm at present prices of pork and bacon. I have tho hogs that are slaughtered in the fall and winter farrowed in March or April. They are pastured iu April, May, Juno and July ou alsiko clover. I find alsike preferable to red clover as it is oaten with more relish by hogs and cattle. Tho end of May or first of Juno a field is sown to rajw. Tho land should bo finely pulverizod and 8 pounds of seed sown broadcast per aero. Tho seed should bo harrowed in with a peg tooth harrow and the laud rolled or clod-mashed. The rape call bo pas tured all fall and winter, and tho shouts will ho in fine condition to fat ten. Last summer I pastured 42 shoals on two acres of raio for two months. The shouts kept iu growing condition all the while. This plainly show s the valuo of rajio for hog pasture. I would recommend alsiko clover for spring pasture in the Willamette. Valley and alfalfa wherever it can bo grown. Alfalfa hay has aliout the saino feed ing valuo as wheat bran and makes an excellent winter ration for stock hogs, when run through a feed cutter, with a little skim milk added. I'eas aud hirley mixed make tho ls'st ratioti for fattening hogs that I have used. Five pecks of each shold be sown per aero. They ripen together and can be harvosted with a bind er, and yield from 40 to IM) bushels ier acre. The year 1U01 I kept account with 13 hogs. When put tip to fatten they averaged livo weight 'Ji (pounds each. They consumed an average each of l.'d) liniids rolled barley, and !HK) pounds skimmed milk iu 00 days. When slaughtered their average weight dressed Jwas 101 pounds. Tho meat was cured, and tho ribs, lard and bacon sold for 3tll. fit). Valuo of shouts and feed consumed, if'.IH. 00. Net income, iflOtt.50, bcaidrH the offal. I have gone into detail in this to show what can bo done when the product is finished ou the farm. In conclusion I will say that farm ers in western Oregon should try the clover and rajsj for summer feeding and grow pea and barley for fat tell ing hogs. At present wo have a mar ket for mauy morn than are produced. If wo increase the production of hogs it will not bo long before we liavi) a lirht -class packing establish ment In our midst. Then we will be able to coinis'to with the East in their own domain by furnishing them with a better article than corn fed bacon." Yours respectfully, Win. St hulinerich. ROAD TO MOUNT REUBEN Lei end Route the Most Feasible. R,oe.d Will Be Built. The minn owners of the Mt. Keubeii listrict aret anxious for a wagon road ts'tweeu Mt. Reuben mid Iv land and haves promised, if the county will build tho road between let-land and Iteuls'ii creek, they themselves will xti nd the road to the mini s. The traffic of the Gold Hug, tho Copis-r Stain, and other mini s of this distric t is considerable. There) has Ism-ii reptid be tween the Gold liug and Glen- dale but the flipdi of the winter have almost completely ilemolltilied it, so that its reconstruction is almost equivale nt to building a new road. The Iei laiid route is the best of the two and in the casn of most of the mine s, the shortest. The ground on this side of the mountain, is much better for road construction and an easy grade may be set ure-cL The matter was presente d to the county -ourt last week by a committee from the board of trade, who 'received the assurance that there waa ft') appro priate-d and ready to be used w hen the iieoplo of that district fulfill the conditions proponed.

Tho "Baby nilno" of the Jump-off- Joo district ia being steadily develop ed under the smecrvision of O. O. Higgins, vico-presideut and manager for tho Capital City Gold Mining Co. of Sacramento, owuers of the mine. Tho Baby is a lusty infant and Is growing with great rapidity aud vigor. The property Includes four claims, about 80 acres of mineral laud, with about 3,000 feet iu length on the strike of tho vein. They have a good water right and about M acres of tim ber. A tunnel is now being run which will tap the vein at a depth of 500 feet. At 100 foot in depth the vein has a w idth of five foot, while at tho surface it was less than a foot wide, though tho ore was reinarkaby rich and yielded largo returns from working by means of an arrastre. The oro lying between this 100 foot loveo and tho surface is now being worked in the. two stamp mill with which tho niiito is provided. The rock carries very high values, about two-thirds free gold. The comple tion of tho lower tunnel, now under construction, will umeko this property a mine of importance and it will be ready for a large mill and plant. 0REG0N7SllMr3ERWEALTH Pacific Coast States Richest This Resource. in Iu the United States tho heart of the lumber belt has moved westward. At tho beginning of tho last century almost tho entire wood supply came from tho then untouched forests of the Penobscot river region of Maine. As tho woodsmen cut deep into lhe heart of tho wood tho industry was forced to find other fields from which to draw its supply, and the virgin forests of tho South aud ot tho states bordering ou tho great Lakes wore cut into. Although these regions are by no means depleted today, the Pacific) coast ii rapidly becoming the heart of tho lumber trade. And what wonder, for iu tho threo states of Oregon, California and Washington there is at least one-third of tho entire supply of standing timber iu the United States. In figures, it amounts to uioro than OiO, 000, 000, 000 foot of uncut wood. Tho forest rcaervos and national parks set apart by tho United States Government within tho limits of these three states aggregate an area of n3,3-;S square miles, or more thau per cent of tho total wooded aroa of tho stales. In the stato of Oregon alone, where a careful examination has been made, tho national census ollicials have estimated the standing timls'r on these reservations at 55,- 0tK),(XX),0tK) feet, or one-fourth of the state's total supply. llevlew of Ho- vlows.

MEADER'S BRUSH BURNER Medford Man's Conlrlve-nce lor Cleaning Orchards. II. F. Meader, one of the proprie tors of the Clay-Mi-ader orchards, has invented a great lalsir saving contri vance for burning brush. Kvery or cdiardist knows of tho amount of work involved at pruning time in hauling tho brush from the orchards to burning place. Mr. Mcadcr's In vention is made of old wagon tires mil in sliap' re semble-s a largo bushel basket. It is five by eight feet in size mida.'i,' feet high but this, Mr. Meader says is a little too mall. The basket is arranged on a sled and is dragged aliout the orchard by a horse. A fire is first kindled in the basket with time light material and then the brush is gathered and piled ou. The brush is quickly consumed and not enough heat is matin at one time to In any way effect the tree s, between the rows of whic h tho sled is drawn. Medford Mail.

Mo stronger indorsement of the pro hibitory law of Maiuu Is needed than the utterances of Hon. Joseph H. Manly. He lias for many years boon a prominent and influential republican leader, llu says : "I bollovo tho ideal condition would bo the absolute prevention of tho use of alcoholic beverages. The great majority of the peoplo of the state of Maine bollcvo that the way to securo this Ideal condition is by tho prohibition of the inaiiuacture and sale (if alfcohollo liquors within tho state. I say the majority of the peoplo havo voted whenever the ques tion arose. In 1851 this law was first put upoii tho statute books. It was amended In 1HMI, but In the fall of the same year it went bark upon the statute boots by the direct rote of tho people. There it has remained over since, ame nded and made stronger from tlmo to time. In IBM it was made an integral part of our state constitution by an overwhelming majority. "What is the oouditlou today f Thero are nearly 400 towns and TV plantations In our state In which liiuor is not sold. In the cities aud a few of the larger towns, liquor is sold, except in Cumberland county. For instance, in Augusta, Bangor, Bath and Lowiston, liquor is sold. This is absolutely wrong. Tho pro hibitory laws apply as well to Augusta as to Winslow, and should be equally as stringently enforced In the one place as in the other. Home people say it Is ImtxisBiblo to enforce those laws in the cities. I say, look at what has been done In Cumberland during the last 18 months. What one sheriff has done, another sheriff can do. No law rscatpca violation. Murder, arson, and robbery will be committed, but wo can enforce the prolbitory law Just as well as we can our laws against otliher crimes. "The condition which we And today is the enforcement of thcte laws and nullification in the cities. These conditions are Intolerable, and I be uove me people oi our state are determined to change them. Just as long as these prohibitory laws are on our statute books they should be enforced by the proper nrncers of the law. ' ' ' A Terrible Failure.
