WliST MeHENftY - - TT,T TKOTS Cleanliness, well mixed rations and proper shelter are three aides upon which a farmer may rely in making economical gains with his pigs, according to J. S. Coffey, professor of animal husbandry for the Ohio State university. For profitably pork production It Is essential to keep the hog shelter and feed lot free of worms, he says. A comfortable, dry shelter, large enough to prevent piling, is also an important help in turning pigs into market hogs. Because the wipter ration 13 likely to be short in minerals a feed should he used which contains a mineral mixture, such as 40 per cent finely ground limestone, 40 per cent bone meal, and 20 per cent commoq salt.. The ration should contain about 1 per cent of this fixture, in Coffey's opinion. His other recommendation is to allow the hogs free access to the mineral mixture at all times. ' • . A good, standard ration, for hogs In Ohio-is made of corn and a supplement consisting of 50 per cent tankage, or fish meal, 2^ per cent al|alfa meal, and 25 per cent linseed oil meal. If good third cutting alftilfa hay is available, the alfalfa meal may be left out of the "ration andv coarse hay substituted. , . Hogs are la danger of suffering from anemia in tiiewinter and therefore should be brought In direct contact with sunshine as. often as possible, Coffey, declares. • Save All Straw Stacks to Carry Farm Stock The main element in food for cattle and horses is the bulky feeds such as hay, fodder, and, in their absence straw will do. Grain and mill feeds will not take«the place of these bulky feeds for live stock and are of secondary jmportance when It comes to sustaining life and carrying the stock over to a new season.. Ir many communities there are haystacks which have been carried along. Some may have reached a ripe old age, but nevertheless they will sustain life and will come- us fesndy.

Bfe~Io Sore-Insurance WITH .G.Schreiner Auctioneering OFFICE AT RESIDENCE 93-R McHenry, Illinois Large Number of Lambs Marketed Never Docked A considerable number of the lambs produced In Iowa and "the surrounding states are grown and marketed without having their tails docked. According to counts made at some of the mid-west live stock markets, as high as 20 per cent of the native lambs sold during the summer and fall months have full length talis. Failure to dock Is a source of loss In two ways. The long tails covered with wool collect dirt and filth and invite files of various types to lay their eggs here. As a result, maggots hatch and cause unthrlftlness and sickness and even death. The second source of loss Is lower selling price received. This lower price is partly due to less desirable appearance, and partly due to lack of uniformity In size and condition, due to handicaps coming from failure to dock. S. H.

O. Solon Mills, 111. * Reference Past Sales SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Put Cattle on Pasture and Full Grain Ration Cattle that have been wintered on hay and silage, or other rations not containing much grain, and that can be put on pasture and a full grain ration at approximately the same time, should make the transition from hay to grass rather easily and with no break in gains. Baby beeves, cattle approximately a year old at grass time, have the greatest difficulty In making satisfactory gains during the first month or two on pasture. The older the cattle, the better" they can make the change and utilize grass In making fat beef. "Short yearlings." when bought the fall before, make a more profltaMe use of pasture while on feed/than younger stuff. qrms Cause Lo# / Thorn-headed worms are causing big losses to hog growers, especially In bluegrass areas. This worm passes a stage of its life In the white grub which Is often found In bluegrass pastures. Hogs, take the eggs of theseworm's Into their digestive tracts through their feed and drink. Pigs which are infested become thin and listless and fall to thrive. There Is no effective cure: The best remedy Is to keep the hogs off from land where hogs are worm Infested. :: THE MAN TURNS:: By HOWE EVANS n(A 1 b1jr n Mc iC liu 1r. 1N1e1w1ip1tp1a1r 1Sy1n1d1ica1t1e. )n IW'NU Service) FROM her seat in the breakfast nook? pretty Utile Madge Burton looked about her chum's immaculate kitchen, and watched wistfully her preparations for junior's lunch. "I ought to go home and wash my dishes, but as long as I've taken your advice and given up my position, I hope you won't mind If I stiffen my spine it little by detailing the reasons." K "Shoot; rm going to make you a cup of coffee before you go." "Thanks. I need it. I feel awfully shaky. I--I was counting up last night. In the four years Jim and T have been married, he has held an even dozen different positions." "You mean quit that many?" Vera's energetic young voice sounded explosive. She had none of Madge's yielding softness of voice or manner. "That's the limit, honest it is. You have had the same job all that time and supported .Tiro in between 'hts,"-^, Madge shoqk 'heir bloro vfiead thoughtfully. ; ; * "That's hardly fair, Vera. He's never been lazy or idle very ,long and when he has been out of work he has done everything around the house, cooked and cleaned and--well, I love hini more than 1 ever -did, but as you say, I've been spoiling him." "His mother .did that before you ever met him!" Vera spilled hot water on the stov* emphasizing her words. _ ^ Madge smiled wearily. "You Just ean't blame him; he is such an adorable lamb when lie has his own way about everything." "Yes, and a stubborn" mule when anybody tries to boss him." v v , "Fortunately they seem to realize that where he is now and give him his head. He seems better satisfied than he has ever been before and he's-been promised more money pext week." Sipping lier coffee Madge was gazing With dreamy satisfaction at the little bungalow next door. Suddenly she leaned forward, a quick gasp in her voice. ""Oh,, dear, I spoke too soon! "There's Jim coming now and I can tell by the way he walks that he's mad and has quit another job!" . Vera followed her to the door, catching- one slim aria and- pressing . it. firmly. > 1 •Don't weaken, now! If you do-- If you go back to work you are lost You'll never have the nerve to take s%dh a stand again." "Don't worry." Madge's large pansy eyes glowed. "I'm sure Tm doing the best thing for both of us. I'U stick it out T Jim was hanging up his coat as she entered the front door. "Why Madge, darling, are you rick? Yon look «-o white--and sort 6t queer." Hands grasping her shoulders, he "started at her anxiously. The tenderness in his voice, the concern in his usually laughing eyes was more than Madge could stand. With [a sob she Jerked away from him and 1 running into the dining room, buried her head in the couch pillows. Jim followed and sitting down pulled her into his arms. "What's happened? Are yon Sick? Shall I phone for the doctor? I never saw you like this before!" - - Recalling Vera's advice, Marl«e choked back her sobs. She must be calm. Pressing her head against his shoulder she murmured shakily. "You don't* need to tell me. I know you have quit again, Just when everything seemed to be going along so fine and I had planned--" She felt him stiffen at the unexpected reproach but she hurried on, "Let me finish before you say anything, Jim. I didn't tell you I was going to resign my position today, I want to surprise you. Oh, Jim. Fir. just tired of leaving my little house and going out to work every day. I want to stay home like my friends, do a really good Job of housekeeping, and I hoped I could with things going so fine for you!" Jim Interrupted In so stern a voice that she sat up to look at him. "You mean you are tired of the office? I thought you were so sold on the whole bunch down rtiere that you wouldn't give up your Job, that you'd give me up first!" She straightened, bracing herself, expecting one of his bearlike hugs. Instead he whistled, gave her one long, very serious look, glanced at his watch and Jumped to his feet. Bewildered, Madge watched him for a second, then sprang up, catching at his arm. "I'm sorry, Jim. I didn't think you'd mind. Where are you going, Jim?" ^"Back to the office." He ,trled to loosen her frantic hold. "But how can you< If you've quit ?" Somehow he seemed bigger, older; she was almost afraid of this new mood. "You and I are the only ones who know that. I Just walked out when the chief started' kicking on some orders, but if I can catch that next train, I can walk back and tell him Til shoot them through in fine style and double the company's profits." Rts arms around her, he gave her a quick, hard kiss. "We can't both quit, so since you beat me to it--" He smiled, his eyes softening. "Honest, Madge, I'm glad. Til be home at the usual time for dinner. You won't have to rush so, getting things ready, maybe ydu'll feel like a movie afterwards." * Another kiss, whlcb left Madge tingling, and Jim was oat of the house, r u n n i n g f o r h i s t r a i n . • V . • SL000KL4XB Miss Clara Smith |ccompanied her grandson, Claire, to McHenry last Saturday afternoon.
