Nothing startling about this except that hogs are costing the processors from 17c to 17%c per pound, live weight, and in the "good old days" lard usually sold 5c a pound above the price of live hogs. In our scheme of modern living we do not care for the large quantities of fat we formerly consumed. Furthermore, competitive fats and oils have entered the picture to a greater degree. Instead of lard serving as one of the major profit items for the processor of hogs it has become a "drug on the market". At the price mentioned above hogs are selling about $2.00 per cwt. lower than they wpuld if the percentage of lard were drastically reduced. It all points to the moral in the item on "Bacon and Lard" in our February issue--i.e.--get rid pf the hogs when they weigh around 200 pounds. MONEY TALKS In (520 A.D. a model in wax of a proposed coin was brought for insepection to Empress Wenteck of China, who, in taking hold of it. left an impression of her thumbnail.

This phrase will go out. over the air waves, will be read in religious and secular papers and journals, and will be announced from nearly 100,000 Protestant pulpits in IS Communions to approximately 24,- 000,000 members during this week of dedication, March 5-12. In this Great Hour of Sharing on Sunday a special free-will offering will lu taken for many different projects in our Christian world. Hundreds of pastors will preach on the theme, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2.)

We ask you to join with us in these prayers, and,your presence and gifts in our service this 'Sunday, it is our prayer that this service Will be one. of the' truly meaningful ones in ouf 'Christian year.

"See you in church this Sunday." Pasture improvement time is near at hand. Just remember that you wouldn't expect to grow oopn in that hard old soil out there in your old bluegrass pasture, so why expect grass to grow there. A good seed bed is needed for best results in growing anything. The best' time_to tear up the old pasture is in the fall, so it,can soak up snow and rain alt winter, but it can be done in' the spring. A field cultivator is the best because a disc just doesn't go deep enough. Plowing is good, but it isn't necessary. It takes longer to get a good seed bed after nlowing. After tearing up the sod, a good double discing and dragging is best before sowing the Seed. Drill about a half bushel of oats with your seeding of five pounds of alfalfa (northern grown) one pound of ladino apd four pounds of northern brome. Without a soil test, the best guess is to put on probably 200 pounds of superphosphate per acre, with plans to put on just what is needed /text fall after a soil test has-been made. For wet soils, sow oats with six pounds of Reed's canary grass, six pounds of unhulled clover and one pound of Ladino clover. Probably 200 pounds of 0-20-20 fertilizer would dp the job temporarily until a test can be made. We talked to a farmer the other day who has a hundred- acres of timbeixpasture for hiB dairy herd. He sayG he gets seventeen cans of milk in the spring and gets down to four cans in July and August. Our suggestion is that he clear off ten acres of the timber and plant it to a good permanent pasture mixture. He can be assured of as much feed off this area as he has been getting off the whole 100 acres and will get .it distributed over the entire^ year. He will receive ninety acres of good timber in return for the cost of clearing off ten acres and sowing to pasture. An excellent exchange I would say, in these days of high lumber costs. Th6 best argument against ammonium nitrate on bluegrass pastures, I think, is that it just makes more pasture when you have a furpltts of it rnmym*y. the money on son** m4 alfalfa seed.

Charlie president ot the Il)ln0is Agricultural Association, told us Jthf other dfy th^ he had just recently been to Washington and had vifcited each law maker from Illli nojls personally, except a few Chicago representatives he didn't have time to around to. He said each one of them had urged him to get the farnrers out to vote in the primary. One representative said he had tried for some time to get a younger .qualified man to run to take hfs place, but they are afraid of the machine because they say the public wont get out and vote in the primary. Qualified men know the public won't support them in the primary and they don't want to get tangled up with the machine to get in. Machihe politics always win because they know only those vote who are supporting or are supported by the machine. Did you know machine politick are a result of you re not voting in the primary? Doh't blame the machine, you have a scheme worked out to make money too, only you think your method is all right. Forty-nine counties in the world are now using the same method of classifying soils that the U. S. Soil Conservation Service is using in McHenry. Yesterday I met at Crystal Lake with NormAn Specht, our conservationist, where he presented soil maps to Rudolph Koenig,Algonquin, Peter J. Larson, Algonquin; Quinter Martin, on the Giessecht farm; atld .Virgil Moore this Hanrahan farm, Woodstock; Herbert Mau Huntley;and Ralph Peterson, Algonquin. These farm ifier and are colored to indicate th4 soil class. On each color are Code numbers indicating soil type per cent of slope and degree of erosion. 1 With this inventory, Norman can intelligently work out with these men a cropping system and rotation that will be to fit their farm to conserve fertility top soil and water and feed the livestock being raised regulhrly on the farm. This will be done individually with these men before they get in the field this spring. Mighty oakrf from little acorns grow.

SCIENTIFIC IATMII Dr. Damon Catran, „ ^kayoclate Professor, Department of Animal Husbandry, Iowa State College, in an address before the Chicago Farmers Club recently made the statement that hog feeding lias passed oat of the "scoop shovel" era and has virtually developed into an exact science. The numerous ingredients which are com* pounded Into a modern swine ration require a great deal of skill. and careful effort to properly standardize. When this is done pigs can be made ready for market rather easily fa Jive and one-half to six months. A half century ago most hogs were fattened on ear corn and most pigs were about thirteen months. old by the time they were ready fof market. Every year cattle grubs in thia country spoil enough potential leather to put soles on the shoes of about twelve million men. & K' i® TELEVISION, EMERSON and MOTOROLA SALES -- SERVICE > .-.Vv Phone 403 604 Frbfct St or 653-R-2 West McHenry, Illinois "SPEEDY" by McHENRY GARAGE " WHO'S CIOAR. 7 yxj SAW IT FW?STj-BO«r NKK MILLERf BUTT IS THAT?
