With the present high price of grain it is necessary to make the hog business pay that ev erything possible be done to stop the wastes. This is one of the seasons of the year when much can be done to stop many of the losses. The season is close at hand when the young pigs will be coming along and everything should be done to save as many of them as possible. This can be helped greatly by proper care of the brood sow just before and during farrowing time. About two weeks before the sow is due to farrow she should be put in a pen that is light and airy and her feed gradually changed to what she is to be fed at farrowing time. One should be very careful in changing the feed at this time as it Is often very easy to throw a sow off feed and cause serious trou ble. Constipation is the bane of hog raisers and should be carefully guarded against at this one time in particular, for should a sow become constipated at this time there is very apt to be a loss of pigs. After farrowing the sow should not be fed for about 24 hours unless she shows signs of uneasiness. Ordinar ily she will not care for a great deal. Plenty of fresh water should be given her at all times but real cold icy wa ter should never be given a sow that has just farrowed. The chill should be removed. A thin slop of shorts and milk is one of the very best feeds just after farrowing. Another method of stopping the leaks Is to have a good light airy pen which the sunshine reaches a good part of the day. It should be provided with a good guard rail so that the sow will not be able to get the pigs between herself and the wall and mash them. This rail can be made from most any kind of a board or pole so long as it acts as a protection for the pigs. It should be six to eight inches from the wall and a like distance from the floor. Up to farrowing time it costs no more to keep a sow that farrows a larger Ut ter than it does one that only farrows w has done her part of producing a large healthy litter the one in charge should do everything possible to help her save them. If the sow is heavy and awkward It is often advisable to keep the pigs away from the sow and return them every two hours to suckle for a few days until they are strong enough to keep out of the dam's way. Another method of stopping some of the leaks is to have some early pasture to turn on so as to cut down the amount of high priced grain that has to be fed during the winter months. " Organizing community shipping associations and shipping their own hogs to market is another method of stopping the leaks. In most localit ies the expense of shipping and sell ing is less than the buyers' profits. Otherwise there would not be so many buyers in the business as there are. This is a profit that the farm ers are entitled to and is within easy reach of them if they so desire. f!y watching the businessc arefully and stopping the small leaks, what would otherwise be a loss can be very often turned to a profit.

A hand in a mill near the British city of Preston went to live with a workmate of his, a somewhat older man. On going to bed the first night the young man noticed the absence of blinds on the windows. "Hast no blinds for the windows, Bill?" "No, I never trouble about blinds," replied Bill; "but if th'art so partic ular about it I'll blacklead th' win dows for thee." "All reet." So they blackleaded the windows. During the night the young man awoke, and, finding the room in dark ness, he went to sleep again. This continued in turns until the elderly man said: "I say, Jack, get up and make a leet; I'm sure we're going to be late for t' work." To their amazement they found it was 7:30 a. m. "Now we've done It; we're late. We had better get to th' mill." The first person they met was the manager. "Hallo, where have you two been?" The elder man said: "Well, I have worked here for th' last twenty year, an' surely you're not going to make row for being an hour an' a half late this morning?" "I'm saying nowt about this morn ing," said the manager, "but where were you yesterday an' th" day be fore ? "Argonaut. "It is only by organization of fruit growers and cooperative transporta tion that the successful distribution of horticultural products of the West can be secured," said E. L. Goodsell, tne transportation and marketing ex pert of a New York selling associa tion. "In no other known way can the supply be regulated to the de mand and periods of surplus and def icit be avoided." Mr. Goodsell, Arthur M. Geary and Professor C. I. Lewis, discussed the question of satisfactory marketing before students of Oregon Agricultur al College recently. Professor Lewis said that while the production prob lem is present with the Oregon grow ers it is not acute, but that the ques tion of transportation and markets requires serious and immediate con sideration. He introduced Mr. Good- sell as one of the best Informed men of the country on these subjects and told of his mission to confer with growers of this country and with the governors of the four states, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California, on these subjects. Mr. Goodsell declared that market ing conditions of this state are but a repetition of those of other fruit districts. A few years ago California growers were selling their oranges through 461 selling agencies. Failure stared them in the face and they sought a remedy in organization. They now have probably the best or ganized fruit industry of the world, the California Fruit Exchange. Nor thern California is also well organ ized, and last year sold 4,000,000 packs of special fruits and 1,900,000 packs of deciduous fruits in the New York market alone, which was about 25 percent of the entire fruit crop of the district. Averages of results for any five-year period show that the industry has been very prosperous. The chaotic conditions of the Pnrto Rico market for bananas v edied a few years ago b zation of growers wh ra . atly extended production t.. increased profits. Last fall 1,500,000 fruit packs were sold in New York. The Florida "crackers," by coming together have increased their busi ness and profits enormously. They marketed last year 1,700,000 packs in New York alone. The United Fruit Company in creased business 10 percent and made it profitable by organization. Last year It sold 3,300,000 bunches of bananas by auction in New York. New York state growers organized and last year sold their fruit by auc tion in orchard lots. Apples brought $2.70 to $3.40 a barrell as against $1.50 to $1.75 per barrell by unor ganized methods. By the same pro cess Virginia got like better prices. According to Mr. Goodsell, organi zation will be the exact difference be tween success and failure In the Ore gon fruit industry. REGARDING POLISH WHEAT Washington, D. C, March 14. The U. S. Department of Agriculture recently has been informed that Pol ish wheat is being offered for sale In Montana at the exhorbitant price of $1.00 per pound. Polish wheat is a variety more closely related to the durum wheats than to the common wheats. The head is 3 to 6 inches long and one-half to three-quarters of an inch wide, usually flexible in stead of stiff. The chaff is very long, and thin and papery. The kernels are larger than those of durum wheat and about twice as long as those of ordinary varieties of common wheat Like those of durum wheat, the ker nels are flinty and of an amber col or. a rew years ago tins wheat was exploited in Idaho under the mis leading name "Corn Wheat." It has also been exploited at different times as "Jerusalem rye," "Giant Rye," etc. This wheat is grown to a slight ex tent in southeastern Europe, but nev er has been grown commercially in the United States. It is carried in stock and sold as a novelty by most seedsmen. It has been tested by many experiment stations and has never been found to yield as well as good varieties of common and durum wheat. From our present knowledge It is not recommended for growing anywhere in the United States. Those offering the seed claim that it does very well on dry land and also under Irrigation if not watered too much. They state that Polish farm ers in Montana claim that this wheat yields from 85 to 150 bushels per acre and makes the very best of flour and hog feed. These statements are directly con trary to the experience of the Depart ment of Agriculture and several State experiment stations. They are also contrary to the experience of many farmers who have written to the De partment at one time or another. The accumulated evidence regard- ng this wheat does not Indicate that it has any value that will in any way justify the charge of $1.00 a pound for the seed, and farmers are ad vised not to be mislead by the glow ing statements regarding yields and value which have been made concern ing this variety.
