How I Raised My Vlg Early in June I expressed my desire to Mr. Winn, iocal club leader, to become a pig club member. He saw no objection to having girls as well as boys in the club, so it was decided that 1 join. One afternoon in about the middle of June several of us met and organised a club, consisting of five boys and two girls. Several -fetiffics were assigned for reports to be given at the next meeting to be held about three weeks from that day. We tried to name our club, but inspirations are often few and far between. Such was the case then. The "Nippersink" Pig club was suggested because of our nearness to the Nippersink creek at the time, but the name was never decided upon, so we are still unnamed. At our meetings, three in all, we discussed types and breeds of hogs, feeding, housing and in part, the aims and purposes of club work. One member dropped out, but another was acquired, so that we still have the same number of members. I may as well be frank and say that the part of the club meetings that I liked best was the "eats." I did not get my pig until lune 23 for reasons mostly unknown to me. However, because of its late arrival I was the more enthusiastic about getting it. I did notv receive the registry papers with the pig, nor have I as yet rec#red them, so I had to give the poor pig some kind of a name. It happened that my b: other, Herbert, was preparing to celebrate his twenty- first birthday the next day, so»to do him honor I decided that my pig was "none too good" to be named "Herbina" for my brother. My oldest brother helped me to build a house and to fence off a portion of the back yard for the pig. I was set at the job of sharpening stakes and driving them into the ground to hold the fence down, but my workmanship proved unsuccessful, for about five minutes later the long legs of both my brother and me could be seen scrambling around to catch Herbina. Such excitement ensued that I almost concluded that the "pig business" would be a hopeless one. In spite of difficulties, in less than a week I had calmed that pig down to eating corn from my hand. In two or three weeks she would submit willingly to my scratching her back with a stick or corn cob and had really come to enjoy it. Her ration consisted of corn and milk. She liked corn, but to all appearances, hated milk. I continued giving it to her, however, ^ and she has since learned to like it very mtoch. Of course, as she grew older I made her ration more varied. I * always weighed her feed and recorded the weights. Little did that innocent pig realize the trouble she was causing by merely existing. In hot weather,* when I filled her water trough she would cheerfully take a bath in it before I had emptied the pail. This necessitated frequent travels to and from the water tank. My brother, during 'one of the intervals, said to me: "Don't you think you had better fill Herbina's water trough now? It must be all of live minutes since you did it." The hot weather also required that I build a shelter from the sun. I built one, as only a girl can build, and at least the pig appreciated what I had done. She soon outgrew her water trough as a bath tub, so I was obliged to furnish her with a larger one that she couldn't outgrow. I have resorted to a scrubbing brush and a pail of water as a means of cleaning her up, tho, so the water trough possesses the "exclusive rights of a water trough" now. For a time I let her out of "quarantinem and let her run wild. This way she got plenty of exercise, but also plenty of food that she shouldn't have had. She was always in mischief so I had to shut her up again. When she was small it was comparatively easy to carry her over to the granary and weigh her, but £he has outgown "childish" wiys and it is now no small matter to weigh her. The day I got her die weighed thirty- five pounds. Now she weighs onq/ hundred and eighty-five pounds. Atho the object of much criticism, Herbina was a popular pig in her day, having received many visitors. If all well behaved pigs have produced as good a record as she, that is as far as conduct is concerned, they deserve my undying admiration. Highsounding, but true. 1 ouat -A*.; ,1. . v ' r k \ f ties experienced, on the whole I enjoyed caring for my pig and would willingly attempt to raise another if given a chance. Madeline Swenson, Spring Grove, IB. I Did My Canning Club work has been going on in this state for several years, but did not start up in this locality until.three years ago, when the canning and corn clubs were oQ^aized, but in the last year or so several others started also, such as the pig, sow and litter, calf and garment clubs. I have been the canning club ever since it was organised in this county and have liked the work very much and appreciated what I have learned from it. I joined the club this year, as I really wanted to learn more about canning, so as I could demonstrate it to others, because I am very interested in the work. As I have said before, I also joined the canning club this year so as to can and help my mother can enough food for our own use this winter, so we would not have to buy canned products. Some think because the war is over there is no use in canning and they can buy all the canned products they want to eat, but there are still some of our boys over there and probably most of them will be over there all winter and they need canned products just as well as we do, and if every house wife would can enough to last her all winter she would not have to buy canned products that ought to be sent to the boys over there or the ones in camp. This is one of the main reasons I think every woman or girl that is able to can ought to can, because many doctors say that the tired out feeling at the end of winter--spring fever--often comes from a lack of fruits and vegetables in the winter diet and to keep the family well and make their, meals pleasanter. We must can vegetables and fruits. The salts or mineral matter that vegetables and fruits contain is one of our chief helps in keeping our Kody strong and well. . I have canned as much this year as last, but have not canned so much for exhibit. By this 1 mean I did not take so much time in' packing it as I did last year, but I have several well packed jars which I am going to exhibit at our fall fair. I did not exhibit any canned products at the various county fairs this year, as I have other years, excepting at the Woodstock fair. Several girls and boys, including- myself, made up a club exhibit of canned goods and took^ first place there. I would have canned a larger amount of products this year, but as I was on the demonstration team I did not get much time to can as I would like to. We demonstrated to other clubs and at last we demonstrated with another team to sdfe which of us would go to Springfield to demonstrate. Our tetyn demonstrating the best of the two went to Springfield, but we only got ninth place there, but we had one grand time while we were there. We hold our club meetings at the different club members' homes,on the third Friday of every month with the other clubs. First of all we have the business part of our meetings and then it is over, so we can dance or play games for awhile. Most always we dance, because our clubs are made up of a jolly bunch of dancers. Just before we go home we always have a dainty lunch. I like our meetings very much and can hardly wait until the time comes for the next one. I did not have any difficulty in securing my products, as some people do, because we raise all our vegetables in the garden. We do not have very much fruit at opir place, but I did not have any trouble in getting it. I had enough jars left over from last year to do my canning this year and our county club leader, T. H. Murray, gave me most all my rubbers that I needed. I had my canning outfit from last year, so I did not have any trouble in making or buying one this year, and I am very proud to say I have not had a jar of food spoil yet. - I am planning to join the club next year and to make the best better and as I have done this year I will pledge my head, hand, heart and health, thru food production and conservation, to help in the world's reconstruction. The club work is very interesting because we have audi good times. We have picnics, auto rides and many other sports that boys and girls like very much and I don't know how club work could be made more interesting unless each old club member would try and get a new club member next year.
