RAISING HOGS ON SHARES.
A Practice Quite Popular in Iowa and
One That Yields Big Profits
to Investors.

Iowa farmers in many cases are rent
ing lands on which hogs are grown On
shares, having stocked the farm on
shares to tenants. A telegram from
Iowa City says that the problem now is,
on what basis shall the increase of
brood sOws and other animals supplied
on shares be divided at the end of the
season?
The owner of the animals placed out
on shares has usually expected at the
time of divisions half of the increase of
such animals, or if the animals are not
sold, an equitable division of them has
usually been made. This plan has been
carried out many times in this county
with both sides of the bargain well
pleased, despite the fact that the first
owner of the sows gets all the best of the
bargain.
The way in which a careful farmer OF
the county figured it out this spring, an6
1t is on his figures that the most of the
present contracts are based, is to take q
herd of ten sows, and placing the usual
value upon them, about $3.50, credit that
to the owner He credits also ten acres
Of pasture land, rented for about $50, tc
the same side of the book, bringing his
investment up to about 5000. He then
takes the average production, of about
six pigs to the SOW. and values them at
$72, or $720 for the whole herd.
Up to this time it has been the custom
for the investor to take half of this
sum, or $3.50, as his share of the in
crease, and since money has been tight
during the past few years, he has haG
no trouble in getting it. 1t gives him.
however, about 1870 per cent. on his IN.
vested capital for the risk involved.

A HAY-STAcKING DERRICK.
Continuance, Like the One Here De-
scribed Saves Lots of Time
and Lessons Labor.

Many farmers, whose barn capacity
Is somewhat limited, stack the larger
portion of their hay crop until after
threshing, and then haul it into the
barn later for winter feeding. Under
such circumstances this method seems
advisable, for then, if the weather
should happen to be like what we have
had the past two seasons, there is not
the danger of losing the entire grain
crops. OF course during some seasons
there is a greater bulk of roughage to
be stored than during other seasons.
nevertheless. the majority of farmers
know Just about the producing capa-
city of their land, and can quite accu-
rate1y estimate amount of barn room
that will be required to store their
crops and from year to year be able,
