Barley-Fed Hogs.

From St. Paul Saturday Reporter Dec
31st 1893.
Geo. Fowler, of Fow er Bros Mapleton.
North Dakata, brought in a couple more
loads OF barley fed hogs last week, of their
own feeding, that compared with any hogs
in the yard as regards to quality. Mr..
Fowler has tried hog raising in that north
ern country for several years, feeding bar
ley and occasionally wheat screenings and
finds he can raise as good a hog on barley
and as cheap, as on corn. In fact, he
brought in load OF barley hogs two years
ago that were the best received here that
year.
We think. Northern Minnesota farmers
especially those above the .cornbelt,"
would do we'll to think over the above
when they are selling wheat at 40 to SOC
per bushel. Hogs can be raised as we'll and
~ cheaply in Northern Minnesota as in
Iowa.
It may take better winter quarters Ia
Minnesota, but to Offset that it is we'll to re-
member that q case of hog cholera was
never heard Of in the colder climate.
South st. Paul wants q million hogs in 90.
and will take every hog raised in Minneso-
Ia at Its market value for cash. The aver
age cost of hogs ontllis market for the past
five years is about 81 80, which pays q profit
in excess of any crop the farmer can raise,
while the present price is about $3.50 per
c. ". t. live weight.
Farmers should diversity their product.
Constant raising Of wheat and grain impov-
erishes the land, and renders it compare
lively, oflittle value A crop Of hogs can
be raise l anil marketed in from ten to
twelve months. Eve farmer north of St.
Paul should raise, at least lew hogs. and
they should use good judgment in securing
good breeds O. hogs. Farmers who wisl,

Stock Yards in South 81. Pau, this TACT is
mentioned as farmers are constantlyasking
us where they can secure the stock hogs.

P A r e N T S
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the histO-
ry of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the
arts and sciences generally was SO
great as now. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and Workshop.
the household, on the farm, and in Of
fetal life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change in
the administration of government does
not affect the progress of the American
inventor, who being on the alert, and
ready to perceive the existing def
ciencies, does not permit the affairs OF
government to deter him from quickly
conceiying the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care
can not be exercised in choosing
competent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incom-
petent counsel, and especially is this
advice applicable to those who adopt
the mo patent, no pay" system. In
ventOrs who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so, at immi-
nent risk, as the breadth and strength
of the patent is never considered in
view of quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.
