The failure of the hog melt to fore
tell the weather this time is explained
10y Frank Caddy, who says the melts
of hogs !attened on Goblin moth and
prunes can't be relied upon to make
g00d weather indicators. Frank reads
up OH these questions, and by max
ing a study of them keeps himself
posted, aud when his neighhors get
stuck on knotty problems of like char
acier is always free to help them out.
Eggs have commanded a good price
all winter, selling for % and 80 cents a
dozen. Unfortunately, most of us keep
hens that go on a strike aud refuse to
lay when the price of hen fruit is up.
The work of the average Hood River
hen is an unfaiIing gauge of the market
renOrts. Fewer eggs are gathered as
the price advances. and when no eggs
are found In the nests 1t is a sure sign
the price Is at the top notch. But ii is
not SO with John Koberg. He keeps
100 heus Of the Yellow Cochin breed,
and all winter has gathered an average
of 81 dnzen eggs day, The secret of
Mr.. K0lerg's success Is not altogether
in the bFeed Of his hens, however; he
knows how to feed and care for them,
aud they are never neglected. The
rest of us might get settin' of them
eggs aud the hatch would do no better
than. the ecsmnpn; serub fowl. ...t.
