Belated birthday greetings to Joe Hettermann who cele- Recent research at Colorado State university demonstrates that hog rations aren't just hog rations any more. There's a ration for fattening stock and one for brood sows; there's one for shoats and there's one for market weight hogs. And it shows that, so-called cheap rations aren't always what they seem to be when you figure the end result -- cost of getting a hog to market weight. This particular research had to do with ground alfalfa in hog rations. For most breeding stock, use about 25 per cent ground, suncured alfalfa/ There's one' big exception. With suckling sows, don't go beyond 15 per cent. The suckling sow needs more concentrates and supplements, less alfalfa. With hogs you're finishing for market you might go as high as 30 per cent ground alfalfa. It depends on what alfalfa's worth. But if you have some good sun-cured alfalfa, you're missing a bet if you don't run it through a hammer mill, using about a quarter-inch screen, and include it as 30 per cent of the ration. Ground alfalfa was included in hog rations at the rates of 10, 30 and 50 per cent. The 30 and 50 per cent mixes were fed as a completely pelleted ration. The 10 per cent ground alfalfa ration was regarded as basic. With the 30 per cent ration, it took seven to twenty days longer to put the hogs up to market weight. Daily gain was down from 10 to 20 per cent from the basic 10 per cent; feed required to produce a 100 lbs. of gain was up 14 to 30 per cent. But because the 30 per cent ration was cheaper, the feed cost per 1C0 lbs. of gain was about the same as for the basic 10. And the result was a meatier type hog "at the market. So from a cost standpoint, it was coin-flipping situation. To choose the proper ration, you have "to weigh the economics of getting a possible t premium price for the better quality hog; against the extra costs in labor and inconvenience in feeding th« 30 per cent -- alfalfa hog seVeh" t6' twenty days longer.

Summer Resident Suffers Fatal Heart Attack Death claimed another victim in the village last Friday when Miss Katherine Bills of 303 Lake Shore Drive, succumbed to a heart attack. Miss Bills, her brother, Elmer, and a niece, Mrs. Betty Lou Mc- Bride, had just driven out from the city and arrived about 12:30 p.m. The victim stepped into the backyard to pick SGwie rhubarb which her niece was to take home with her, when she collapsed. A local physician was summoned and also the inhalator squad. All efforts to levive the woman proved fruitless, and she was pronounced cUSad by the doctor. The body was removed to the George Justen Funeral Home and prepared for shipment to Gotham, Wis. Graveside rites were held on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. with interment at Button, Wis. Tlie deceased was born April 5, 1880, and had just celebrated her eightieth birthday last month. In addition to her brother and the one niece mentioned earlier.

Mrs. Elsie Nelson and Wilma Zody are co-chairmen and will be assisted by members of the organization. Complaint Department Word has been received of a dangerous and frigh t e n i n g practice. Some person or persons has been burying broken bottles and glass in the sand at the beach! From the report received-- it was deliberate, because the bottles were placed with the broken ends up. and then covered with a slight layer of sand. With our small fry planning to use the beach and running around barefooted -- there could be serious injuries. For the safety of all concerned, here's hoping this dastardly practice is STOPPED and the culprits apprehended!! Malicious mischief has been going on in the vicinity of gate three. Seems as though some of cur school-age kiddies have been tampering with the street and gate signs, pulling out tulip bulbs, and destroying birds nests. Residents who take pains to trim and beautify their yards are anything but happy with these youngsters and parents are asked to inform the small fry to cease and desist! ! Early Deadline Your co-operation is requested so that we may have a column next week. Please call EV. 5-4141 tonight (Thursday) or early Friday afternoon with your news tidbits. This reporter's copy must be in the Plaindealer office Friday afternoon. Many thanks in advance. Building Fund Benefit, Berenice and Whitey's will be the scene of the building fund party given by the Cullom- Knoll on Saturday night beginning at 8:30 p.m. These affairs are loads of fun and a grand chance to meet the villagers.

INDIAN CUSTOM Indian boys who showed dis-' respect or disregard for their j elders or their culture were [ long delayed full-fledged mem- | bership in the tribe. Flagrant violators were permanently! barred and henceforth held secondary positions in life, sim- } ilar to that of women. Conse-' quently, girls were reluctant to marry the "frisky" youngster without a future. Dr. Thorne Deuel, social anthropologist and director of the Illinois State Museum, says that this system of using the tribe as a "club" was practiced for thour sands of years by the Indians of Illinois. He also found evidences of similar practices by aboriginal tribes now living in isolated parts of the world. I welcome as the di| NOfOOSS BOLGER'S 10S S.
