LAW DAY WILL BE OBSERVED IN CITY AND COUNTY Twice Told Tales May 1 has been proclaimed as Law Day in U.S.A. by President Eisenhower. According to the President's proclamation, the purpose of Law Day is to dramatize the contrast between liberty and freedom, safeguarded by the law in the United States, and the May Day celebrations in many lands which are designed to exhibit military strength and the subordination of the individual to the state. Joseph A. Conerty, Jr., president of the McHenry County Bar association, has announced that the association will again sponsor a Law Day program locally.

OPEN CLOGGED SEWERS WITHOUT DIGGING! Dissolves Roots, Sludge, Groat* Paper easily and inexpensively! BOYER ROOT DESTROYER RUCK'S Hardware 501 W. Main St. McHenry This Business - Farming Did you ever figure out the difference between a No. 1 and a No. 3 hog? We don't mean price. We're talking about dressed-out meat. K n o w i n g t h e d i f f e r e n c e might make you wonder more than ever why the meat-type hog doesn't command a better price premium, but on the other hand, you will be delighted to learn that you can actually produce a meat type -- or No. 1 hog -- cheaper than you can the old lard type. The difference was shown at a recent hog show in Colorado, by cutting a sid§, from a No. 1 and a No. 3. The side from the No. 1 weighed 74 pounds and yielded 41 % pounds of lean cuts. The side from No. 3 weighed 77 pounds and yielded 31 pounds of lean meat. The difference was a whopping 10 pounds of lean meat in favor of the No. 1 hog. For choice pork cuts at retail, that's not too far from $10 per hog on less than half the hog. On this basis, you could figure that the No. 1 hog should bring at least $20.00 more at retail. What's the o n-t h e-h oof spread between No. 1 and No. 3 grade hogs? Three to four dollars cwt. No more. It kind of makes you wonder. But let's get back to the dr e s s e d-meat demonstration and look at the favorable side -- cost of production of the two types. Lard is worth about 6 cents a pound. Even if the two hogs sold for the same pri<^ per pound on foot, a farmer couldn't afford to feed the No. 3 hog. It takes two and one-half times as much feed to put on a pound of lard as it does a pound of lean. Lean contains a lot of water, which fs'^Krt?tical^ ly free and the lean n^at goes! on faster than lard. ' |i It actually costs about tenj times as much to put on a]: pound of la°rd as a pound of! lean ^ So, maybe the premiumselling price isn't there, Jfcttit. you're still justified to f£sh? for the meat-type hog on. aj cost-of-production standpoint. | Actually, we've talked about! feeding in generalities, assum-f ing only volume of feed fori raising No. 1 and No. 3 grade! hogs. It's not this simple. J , Feeding for the proper finish* to get a meat type hog is not- "shotgun" feeding. The form-* ula is the right combination- oft growth elements at the rf^it time of the hog's life. >, . A complete balanced ration^ contains all essential nutrients1 -- fats, carbohydrates, pro-1 teins, minerals, and vitamins. Protein -- the builder^ of muscle and tissue -- is made? up of at least ten essential^ amino acids. There are 14 or more minerals essential .for* bone-building and to aid inV )ie proper function of body oralis and tissues. ; If you think your feeofftg^ program leaves sometbing|&o, be desired, you'd better check? with your local feed dealer Aw a* representative of one of Ipvef feed manufacturers. W 11 And let's not forget on#of? the key factors in turning outt a meat-type hog -- selective breeding. If your breeding if JM gram is not right, you're stilf going to get a lot of , lard iri that hog even with the best* of feeds. i HONORED AT DINNER j Adrian Thomas of McHenrjl was among those honored a# the Bowman Dairy Companjr Old Timers annual dirmer meeting held Monday nighTlrt Chicago. 5 The two extremes of wretchedness has been classified as indigence and indulgence.
