Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great em
; mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of aodern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They aTe of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a net-work of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in Its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele
phone has already conquered the
tarth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean. j
No Industry In the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius indention and organ
ization. The industry was peculiarly fortun
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
grQwth, It is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in
spiring company than the fellowship
of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvelous industry and a Journey
along the pathway of its development,
illuminated at every mile-post of its
progress by the lightning-flashes of
brilliant minds, will be taken at a very
early date.
A brief statistical review of the in
dustry brings out its growth and mag
nitude in a most convincing and un
forgetable manner.
The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efflMont
and Its rate are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.

MKiGIN'G-OFF VARIOUS CHOPS.
By C. L. Smith, Agriculturist of the
Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation Co.
It is a well recognized principle of
manufacturing that to reduce the
cost of production and at the same
time maintain the quality of the pro
duct, means direct increase in net
profits. The wide variation found on
different farms in the cost of pork
production would indicate that if the
methods were followed by the man
who produces pork at the least cost
were in general practice, the actual
cost would be reduced more than
one-third.
Careful investigation on many
different farms shows that the aver
age cost of harvesting a crop equals
the cost of growing it ready to har
vest. It has also been demonstrated
by numerous experiments .that the
pig can do the harvesting of various
crops without wasting any food ma
terial. It follows logically therefore
that up to the extent that the pig
can do its own harvesting there is a
saving of 50 per cent on the cost of
each pound of meat, produced from
an acre of ground where the pig does
the harvesting.
It is seldom practicable to produce
pork at the least cost by having the
pig harvest all of its feed, but to the
extent that the pig can do the har
vesting satisfactorily, it is decidedly
profitable to let the pig do it. Pas
ture grass to the exient of one-half
the daily feed Is probably one of the
cheapest class of pork-making mater
ial. Next to this, comes any of the
cereal crops such as rye, wheat,
barley, oats, peas, or corn, to be
hogged-off.
The farmer who will arrange such
a system of cropping as will enable
Im to hog off the various crops at
the right season, can very materially
lessen the cost of pork production.
The best permanent hog pasture is a
combination of grasses and clovers,
including alfalfa. Alfalfa alone is
not a satisfactory or economic hog
pasture. Winter rye will furnish the
earliest satisfactory feed for a season,
and if there is no permanent grass
and clover pasture, then the rye
should be supplemented by seeding
eariy on well prepared ground, a
mixture of spring grains seeded very
heavily, say 100 lbs, per acre. This
may include spring wheat, spring
rye, barley, oats and three of four
pounds of sorghum, Kafir, mtlo maize
or federetta. If the pasture is divid
ed into about four separate lots, so
that the pigs may be changed to a
new plat each week, which will give
each plat three weeks rest to one
weeks pasturing, the same area of
land will carry satisfactorily twice
the number of pigs.
The earliest annual crop with
which to supplement the pasture is
peas and oats. To grow the peas and
oats to the best advantage, manure
the ground in the fall, and disc, mix
ing the manure well with the surface
soil. The ground may be fall plow
ed, or plowed as early in the spring
as it is dry enough to crumble from
the mould board. Disc or pack with
a Campbell sub-surface packer, and
drill in the peas three and one-half to
four inches deep, one hundred pounds
per acre; then one week after seed
forty pounds of oats per acre half as
deep as the peas,
Enough peas and oats should be
seeded to take care of the pigs until
the winter wheat is in the dough. If
the winter wheat then is supplement
ed by an equal area of spring wheat,
they can ordinarily be kept on the
wheat for four or five weeks.
March farrowed pigs that have had
a light grain ration each day, in addi
tion' to the pasture, will be in con
dition to make very rapid gains and
will, in fact, make more pounds of
meat per acre from each acre of
wheat hogged-off at this time of year
than they would be able to do from
the same amount of wheat harvested,
threshed, rolled and fed in the most
approved manner. When the wheat
has become fully ripened and har
dened, they could still be allowed to
get a part of their daily food from
the ripe wheat, but if this is supple
mented with green corn, the gain
will be much more rapid than it
would from the wheat alone, and the
earlier varieties of corn will be in the
roasting-ear stage Dy the time the
wheat has begun to harden.
Where land is higli priced and the
labor is available, the corn may be
cut and fed in the wheat field or
pasture lot, but it w:;i be found that
until the corn is well hardened, the
pigs will make more meat from each
acre of corn, if fed to them stalks
and all or allowed to hog is down,
than they will from the same area of
corn harvested and fed dry.
Barley allowed to stand in the
field without harvesting, will produce
more pounds of pork per acre during
the fall and winter if the pigs do
their own harvesting, than will the
same amount of barley threshed,
rolled and fed in the house or feed
lot. ;.
- Ordinarily, it ViU be found advan
tageous to give the pigs every eve
ning a light feed of some other kind
of feed than that which is being
hogged-off, for it is a well recognized
fact that other things being equal,
the greater the variety in the ration
the better will be the results from
each pound of feed fed. i
If in hogging-off any kind of crop,
portable fence is used and only bo
much of the area uncovered at a
time as the pigs can clean up In three
or four days, there will be less waste
and better gains from the same area
than where thejfc are allowed to run
over the whole field. The manner,
however, In which the hogging-off is
done must depend in a great measure
upon the location of the farm, fenc
ing, labor, water and other factors
that must be considered, but it has
been demonstrated beyond the possi
bility of a doubt that up to the extent
that the pigs do their own harvesting
the cost of producing the meat is re
duced about one-half.
