GROWING HOGS IN IDAHO. industry Is Receixing Greater Atten tion Than Ever Before. Prof . H. T. French, Director Idaho Experiment Station. The hog industry in Idaho is re ceiving more attention now than ever before in the history of the state. The tendency to diversify farm op erations is stronger now than in the past. All alfalfa, or all sheep or all of any other one thing, unless it mould be fruit, is out of date for th majority of farmers of Idaho, both i the northern part of the state, where irrigation is not practiced, and m th ngated sections of southern Idaho Ihe most succesful farmer; here a dsewhere, is the one who is making lvesiocK on tne Jarm one of the lm portant factors. As the dairy indus try increases in interest the raising ot nogs will receive more attention A farmer who is not adverse to milk mg cows will, as a rule, be a success n nanaiing pigs, because no one can succeed in either line, to the fullest extent, unless he looks carefully afte details. In Idaho the dairy industry is erow. ing, therefore I exDect a more ranid development of the Hog industry. In iJti, uicre is a strong indication mat this is the case just now in several sections of the state. In holding far mers institutes in southern Idaho much interest was noticed in the sub ject of feeding and breedins hoes Several shipments of pure bred stock have recently been made into south em Idaho. Pure bred Poland China Duroc Jersey, Chester White and Berkshire oiks are found in increas ing numbers in every farming section ot the state, roland Chinas Dredomi nate, no doubt; but the Duroc is be coming a close competitor in many sections. Alfalfa pasture, with a small ration of shorts, ground wheat or finely ground barley, will grow pigs very rapidly. This, supplemented with sep- erator milk, will produce a growth equal to that secured in the corn beit, and in quality we flatter ourselves that it is superior. In growth, our pigs can be made to compare quite favorably with those fed on corn.' Numerous reports were made last winter at farmers meetings that it was not difficult to nroduce a pig tnat would weigh two hundred pounds at eight months old. Jsome suear beets and other root can be fed, and are being used in teeding hogs in Idaho. Potatoes boiled and mixed with one and a half to two pounds of grain per hundredweight of pig, will produce good gains in live weight. Alfalfa, cut up with feed cut ter, and softened by steaming or even sprinkling of cold water, with a lit tle grain, makes a good ration for brood sows during winter. A great many hogs are wintered largely on dry alfalfa hay, and they do verv well. In a state where so much cheap for age can be grown .for hogs, there is great encouragement for the industry. Large yields of wheat and barley can e secured on irrigated lands, and often the wheat is of low mi'.'ir.g quality, making it much more profit able to feed it than to sell it in the sack. A bushel of wheat will make from 12 to 15 pounds of gain in live w4ght when fed to thrifty young ogs wvijhinp' from 75 to 175 nounds. In young pigs even greater gains can e secured. Field peas are erown in some sec tions for hog pasture, and serve an important purpose in providing good pasturage during the summer before the stubble fields are ready to glean. There is a period in summer when there is a Jack of good pasture in the grain-growing sections of the state. Little alfalfa or clover is grown on many of the farms, and often pigs make very small gains during this oeriod. Some farmers sow crain. such as wheat or barley, for hog pas ture, but even this does not produce s good results as would a Dasture of alfalfa, peas or clover. Bltfegrass and white ' clover will make a good pasture in some locali- es where there is nlentv of moist ure and good soil. This does not, in our opinion, give as good results, however; as the crops mentioned above. Idaho farmers are much en couraged in raising hogs from the fact that. large packing plants are be ing established on the coast, thus in suring a steady demand for live hogs, and while the price may not be any more satisfactory than in the past, with a limited supply, there will be a permanency to the demand even though the number of hogs produced increases several times. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Valuable Information to Pacific North west Irqulrera ( By j. L. Aahlock, Washinirton Experiment Sta tion. Pullman. Elma "I have a tract of land near Quiney, Wash., that I wish to irrigate, lr order to do this 1 will have to uo well water, and possibly do the pump ing, with a gasaline engine, or some other mechanical device. Will you please giv me any information that bears on this subject!" A. L. C. "I am quite familiar with the con ditions around Quiney, and believe that irrigation in that region would bring very good results, providing the' cost was not too much. In that locality the depth to water is quite considerable. and the eost of operating a pump would therefore be heavy. The farmers there use windmills quite exclusively, using gasoline engine only when the wind fails. However, the water is finite abundant when it is reached. I do not believe that it would be profitable for you to irrigate as many as ten acres unless you have a system of pipes to conserve the water. The soil around Quiney is so light that the water will seep away and be lost, unless vou nut in such pipes. A ten horse-power en gine would be sufficient to raise water for ten acres, but it might be necessary to sink more than one well. I am be ginning to believe that irrigation will be necessary in the Quiney section to obtain the best results." ' N Baird. "I have been quite success ful with corn in this locality, except that the corn matures rather small. Can you advi me of varieties of corn that 1 might try!" FARMER. "I advise that you experiment with Kaffir corn, since it seems that it will do well m your region. Try a good. early maturing Dent variety. This should te preferable to the Flint, an it certainly makes better feed. The conditions of your region require that juix cultivate to retain moisture, as well 10 aesiroy ine weeds." Chewelah. "Is wood as desirable as cement for buildinjr a silof Is silain apt to freeze in this country! Wht forage plants should be grown in the vneweian region!" STOCKMAN, "Brome grass might do well, if the ouu is noi ioo gravelly, but it shouk not be grown in rocky soil. Vetches will be desirable in such soil as you have, as these plants reseed themselves. If you can gat lumber at a reasonable price in your vicinity, it would be moro costly to build of cement than of wood. Silage stays warm, and it is not apt td reeze in this country; but if it sticks to the sides of the silo from any cause, it should be tramped down in order to prevent it from settling unevenly." Leahy "I would like' to know if It would be advisable to plant the Aus tralian salt bush in this recion I Ha me piant any desirable qualities!" ' ' J. S, "I adviss yon to let th A llRt.ra.lian salt bush alone. The nlant has a f desirable qualities, but we have heard that in the Walla Walla country it has developed into a pest.

V ftr lows: "The station has 11 of them, .and finds that thev will grow successfully in eastern Wash ington, ihe tomato and egg plant should be started early in the season in hotbeds, or cold frames. With this care a creditable crop will be ma tured. The egg plant is a native of warm climates, and, like the tomato, should be given a high, warm eleva tion. The okra and artichoke have each done very well with us, requiring only the ordinary garden culture." A farmer of Arden wishes to know what apples would do well where he lives. Professor Thornber advised him as follows: Impracticable. "Tour husband smokes his pip la the Aonse, does he? 1 suppose there is no way of getting the odor of tobacco out of the rooms, either."

' Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the b ood. it is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance, etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating; poisons in the blood, which are earned through the circulation to every part of the system Every muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter! and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every physical movement. When the blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma nent relief cannot be exoected from li treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer iiiiwuuittiiaiu auu Liiiii aiJKJUL U complete cure, the uric acid and other inflammatory matter must he expelled, and this cannot be done witu external treatment. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism because it is a perfect and entirely vegetable blood purifier. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the acids, and dissolves the irritating depos its which are pressing on the sensi tive nerves and tissues and produc ing pain, enriches the weak, sour blood, and removes every atom of impurity from the circulation. So instead of being a weak, sour stream, distributing uric acid to the different parts of the system, the blood is strong and healthy and ' ....f... , ..v.iv in na cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Then the inflam mation and swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not only is Rheumatism permanently cured, but under the fine tonic effects of S. S.

I had it In my knees, less and ankles, and any ens who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one at vork. I wus truly in bad shape having bean bothered with It for ten years, off and on. A local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I did so.
