The bright spring day we had last Friday, being much too nice to stay indoors, pur t,w° fftir damsels, Edithr ^t"Blake and Eleanor Wirfs, decided it was the ideal time to shop in Woodstock. After a nice trip there and some questionable luck with their purchases, they started back. - Bird |* songs echoed in the air and a warm sun tempered the cool spring breeze. Life was just a bowl of* cherries, when, fronj no apparent reason, the. car started to sputter. Their first glance went to the gas guage. No, that wasn't the trouble. They had sufficient gas to take them home. They sputtered along, half going, half ^topping, for another few mile* before the car gave a bang and stopped altogether What to do? The middle of nowhere, no telephone, no mechanic, no passing knifcth to rescue our ladies in distress. Finally a truck came along and they hailed it. "Please call the garage and send hubby, Alex, to help us " they pleaded. "OK," the driver consented, ">I!11 call "him the first chance I get." They returned to the car and sat for a half hour. Edith then tried the starter, just to see if the blamed thing had changed its mind and decided to run. Lo and behold, the chug buggy started and ran like a top all the way to McHenry. They pulled in at the garage expecting to see surprise irt Alex' face when he saw them. They did. He ®t. the phone answering'^ stlangeWoi^ which said, "Your wife and her friend are strtnded out on the road to Woodstock and ^ant you to go out and help them." He blinked and answered in an awe-struck lie, "Thanks, I'll go right out." P. S.--The car ran like a top until Sunday, when they -discovered a burned out wire. So long . . .

Clean pigs start with clean sows and farrowing pens, so scruib pens with lye water, wash sides and udders of sows with warm water and soap before placing the sows in dry, bedded farrowing pens. Keep sows comfortable for easy handling when farrowing. - Have electric brooders on hand to provide the warmth and protection that newly-arrived baby pigs need during their first critical days. Lpst baby pigs mean lost feed, lost time,, lost profit. Statistics^ prove that brooders save an avetage of 1H more pigs per litter. (Plans for economical, homemade brooders are yours for the asking. Simply phone or drop a card to this company.) • PLAN YOUR PASTURING ^ GeneriUy speaking, sows and young pigs are moved taicfein psstwes-- 2 or 3 weeks after farrowing. Portable hog houses make excellent shelters on ranges; they can easily be shifted to different pastures that have been kept clean and disease-free through crop rotation. Clean clover pastures are good. LET 'EM MAKE HOGS OF THEMSELVES Keep them on the range about fotir months. Then bring them onto the feeding floor and full-feed them until they hit 200 pounds. Give diem plenty of clean, fresh water--a hog that drinks more is healthier, gains faster. And the faster they fatten up, the quicker they go tp ' --• . . something that "boarders" don't do.
