The public wants BUICK SIXES--so many of them that we shall build nothing else in 1916 PIONEER BUILDERS OF VALVE-IN-HEAD MOTOR CARS MOTOR CARS More enduring than chrome vanadium steel, more won­ derful than the finest workmanship, is the idea that can dom­ inate an industry. In this day when more Buicks are being built than ever before it is interesting to remember that the distinguishing characteristic of the Stuck, the Valve-in-Head Motor, has ex­ isted as an idea for twenty-five years and been built into Buick cars for thirteen years. From 1903 to 1907 the Buick Valve-in-Head was a two cylinder engine. From 1908 to 1914 four cylinders dominated the field and the Buick Valve-in-Head Four dominated other types.. The Buick Valve-in-Head Six was first put on the mar­ ket in 1913. Fours were also continued--but the Valve-in Head Six had stirred the imagination of the car-buying public. The demand from the start outpaced the production. This demand has become so overwhelming that now--for vyVv//".

The Six has been made standard because in the Six the Valve-in-Head ideft has its greatest opportunity for service. Also since the first appearance of the Buick Six there hat risen an insistent demand for smaller Buick Sixes. The Six is a natural, logical, efficient form for the Valve^n Head type. Never before has the Valve-in-Head idea had such adequate materialization. This year the Buick factory is arranged for Sixes exclus­ ively. The production will be large. Demand necessitates ft steady stream of Buick trains leaving the factory during the season. And the Power, Economy, Dependability and Comfort of 1916 Buick Sixes justify this demand more than ev^r.

MDUNKY COUNTY PJUM ELFEW * Th« large number of young plff* In fine condition throughout the county indicate a large hog crop (or this next fall, but unless careful attention is given to the proper care and feeding of these young pigs a great num­ ber will die or grow up into a more or less stunted condition. This, how­ ever, can be prevented to a large ex­ tent If the proper kinds of feeds and in the right proportions are given to the growing pigs, and the conditions under . which ihey are kept are clean and free from disease producing conditions. The young pigs should be allowed to nurse the sow until about six or eight weeks of age, when they should be weaned and turned onto blue grass, alfalfa, rape, oats or some other green orop, or they may be kept oo dry lot and fed on corn and slop, made of middlings and tankage. The latter system, however, is less profitable and requires considerable more labor. Recent results Indicate that green pasture and forage must be more generally used in profitable pork pro­ duction. This in addition to being the more profitable way is conducive of better health among the hogs, also quicker and more economical gains are made when the hogs have plenty of green forage to feed upon. Among the many green forage* that may be used for growing and fattening hogs, alfalfa has proved to be the best. The cheapest gains that have ever been made upon any. forage have been made upon alfalfa in conjunction with A grain ration of ear corn plus one to twenty of meat meal. Alfalfa is rich ill portein, secured largely from the nitrogen of the air, and thus indirectly the nitrogen of the soil is increased. <3 reeii pasture is furnished early in the season as well as late, and can usually be depended upon for six months out 0 the twelve. Drought does not af­ fect alfalfa as it does other forage crops. Usually we find them hard and dry in August or September while the alfalfa grown alongside is green and succulent ind highly palatable. Heavy pastur­ ing of alfalfa is detrimental, and the number of allowed to grase on it should be regulated so as to allow | two or three cuttings to be taken from the land yearly. An emergency crop of great feeding value for swine is dwarf Essex rape. One must insist, however, on having dwarf Essex seed, as there is a worth­ less summer or bird seed rape found upon the market that is of little value for feeding purposes. Rape stands well up toward the top in the list of hog forages and its advantages are many. Pasture will be furnished at any time during the growing season. The rape seed may be sown from early spring until late summer, and is espe­ cially useful in bridging over the dry months in July and August. Ordi­ narily pastture will be ready within six to eight weeks after sown, and a comparatively long pasturage season of practically five or six months from early June to late November is possible. The plants will keep growing until a heavy frost comes, taking a severe freeze to kill them. In pasturing rape the hogs Bhould not be turned on it until the plants are at least ten or twelve inches high. Heavy stocking should be avoided, and the rape should never be so closely eaten so as to leave only the bare stalks remaining. When the pasture is down to four or five leaves to the stalk the animals should be taken out of the rape so as to let it have a chance to recuperate. A good plan is to turn on only enough hogs to allow the growth to keep ahead of the grazing. When any of the forages are used enough corn should also be. fed to cause the hogs to put Ion fat, as the best plan is to push the pigs as rapid­ ly as possible all summer, making them grow in frame and putting on fat at th9 same time, and marketing them at eight or nine months of age. This is generally considered as being the best plan, for the market is discriminating against the heavy twelve or sixteen months old hogs. If forage pasture is not available, and the hogs must be kept in a dry lot, a good growing and fattening ration would be fifteen to twenty per cent of tankage and eighty-five per cent oi com, the tankage to be fed in the form of slop. Both corn and dry tankage may be fed from a self-feeder, the hogs having acoess to it at all If the self-feeder is hogs must have access to a good supply of drinking water at all times. When they have reached ISO pounds weight the tankage should be reduced to about eight per cent, and the corn increased to ninety-two per cent, and at 300 pounds weight ooe per cent of tankage and ninety-nine per cent of corn should constitute the ration. In addition to the right kinds of feed and their uses in a well balanced con­ dition it is necessary that a large amount of mineral matter be supplied the hog, the following mixture being one of the best: Wood or cob charcoal 120 parts Wood ashes 30 parts Salt... 16 parts Ground limestone or air slacked lime 12 parts Raw rock phosphate 8 parts Copperas 1 part Soft coal may also be used. These minerals are best fed in self- feeders as the 'hogs will select those minerals that are needed most by their systems. They will, also take the place of the many different kinds of stock foods and condition powders on the market today, and are much less costly and more effective. In addition to this if the hogs are showing an un­ thrifty condition they should be given the following treatment which is (Very effective in ridding the hogs of worms?. Tremendous losses that result from worms in hogs, and also the amount of money that is annually wasted by the farmers in so-called "patent" remedies, can be put to much better use by the purchase of the following materials that are certain to give good results. Many thousands of dollars are paid out each year by the fanners for worm medicines, few of which, if any, re­ turn any benefit. The formula for the worm remedy recommended the veterinary section and used successfully by the Animal Husbandry Section of Iowa Agricul­ tural Experiment Stattion at Ames, Iowa, is as follows: Santonin-.--.-..------ 5 grains Areca nut........ 3 drams Calomel - 3 grains Sodium Bicarbonate 1 dram The above amounts constitute a dose for & 100 pound pig. Use one-naif as much for a 50 pound pig, twice as much lior a 300 pound pig, and two and one- und pjlg. half times as mul for a 300pound p£g. Withold the fell at least eighteen hours before felding the mixture. Repeat the eight or ten days to make sure all the worms are expelled. Where the above ingredients cannot be obtained the following formula for a 100 pound pig may be substituted: Santonin 1..7 grains Calomel .» 7 grains How To Administer Remedy: Withhold feed for eighteen hours, then mix the remedy for the number of pigs with their slop and let them all eat at once. If plenty of minerals and a good balanced ration have been abundantly supplied and the pens and yards kept clean and in good sanitary condition the hogs will be less apt to become infected with hog cholera and other diseases. Again I wish to call your attention to the immediate treatment of your hogs if infected with cholera. We haye a good supply of serum on hand here at all times and will bring it to you upon notice that your hogs are sick. It is the only safe preventive of hog cholera and it is very generally used by hog raisers throughout the United States. Delob L. James, County Agriculturist and Agent U. S. Dept. Agri.
