ACTION OF SUPERVISORS.
The Board also decided to discharge
the Hanapepe policeman and authorized
the Sheriff to appoint another in his
place. A very detailed information of
an active gambling hui, spending all
kinds of money, has been received by
several of the county officials last
week and the reason for above dis
charge is probably to be found in an
the man and the hui. The only reason
for the discharge of the man given at
the meeting was that the conditions in

was no mention of the conditions of the
two other districts in which the gam

that the steer does, even tho they are
fed under the same conditions FREE
quently. Farmers who have placed
the hogs in the open yard, or one that
is practically so, and with heavy feed
ing of grain have endeavored to bring
them up into marketable condition,
have found that the cost was a large
amount of corn and not always the
most gratifying results for the grain
fed.
Hogs Lack Pork Quality.
Some men are neglectful of the fact
suits from a drove of hogs that some
modern breeding must be injected into
their midst thru the agency of better
boars. There is no one that will adj
wise the average farmer to try breed
ing pure bred hogs for market pur-
poses, but there are thousands who
have learned that it is important for
the farmer to use liberal portions of
good blood in order to get the quality
that will take on the flesh and develop
into the type of hogs that the packer
is after.
In getting litter of pigs the thing
that the farmer must do is to begin
before their dams are bred. Then if
he selects 81 good sire and the sows
are reasonably good, he has a fair
chance of getting started in a way that
will bring some pigs that will have the
elements of good feeders.
AS a general proposition we believe
that If the average farmer could be
made to realize the advantage of the
GOOD hnnr ba mo
would not be sires enough to go around.
AS it is comparatively few have been
brought to realize the advantage of
using good boars while the mass
seems to be plodding along in the old
slipshod manner of breeding and rails
ing pigs.
AS is demonstrated upon the Chi
cago market every day of the year, it
is the hogs that have breeding behind
them that top the market in the var
ious grades and classes. No hog with
out backing of good blood, topped out
with proper feeding, has any chance
of coming within striking distance of
the good prices.
Feeding According to Season.
There is no one way of feeding hogs
that is better than all others. But
there are some methods that are well
to avoid If the feeder is hopeful of Sc
curing satisfactory results. For in
stance, it is not good policy to feed
grain in snow or mud, as thousands of
farmers are now doing. In cold wealth
err, when there is no snow upon the
ground and the surface is frozen, it is
we'll enough to feed direct from the
ground, but during weather when there
is snow or an abundance Of mud, it is
a very poor plan, to say the least, to
compel hogs to root their food from
frozen particles or from well-mixed
filth.
When there is no chance of feeding
under cover, upon plank floor. there
ought to be some means Of supplying
a platform outside, providing the ear
corn is to be thrown to the hogs, as
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-02-02

It is not true with all farmers who
are feeding hogs, but there are Ger
tain large per cent who are at the pre-
sent values of pork and corn Feeding
at an actual loss. We doubt not, now
ever. but what investigation will bring
out the fact that where the greatest
losses occur there are at least three
things plainly evident: First, the hogs
are exposed to the frigid elements that
are now prevailing by not being pro-
vided with sufficient shelter; second,
the hogs represent too much OF the
mongrel type due to too scanty use
of good blood; and, third, the feeding
is not done in q manner to bring out
either the best in the corn or the hogs.
Many of the men who are complain
ing the worst are numbered among the
smaller farmers who have not and are
not taking the pains with their hogs
that is more common with the extern
siye hog raisers. On account of more
limited means, together with the fact
that many have not been enabled to
study the conditions upon the large
markets. these men have not been i'm
pressed with the Importance of ample
protection. better breeding and the adj
vantage of judicious feeding.
GETTING Most From BusheI.
In feeding corn, or anything else for
that matter, the profit will depend up
on how large the gains are. Obviously
the most wheat put on from bushel
means the most profit in the end. With
corn selling In the country from 35c
to 45c. and In some cases even more.
=. &C. o,,;dopt that the waste must be
reduced to the minimum. 1t has been
estimated that with good hogs and
good feeding methods feeder ought
to he able to get from ten to twelve
pounds of gain from bushel of corn
In case where the hogs are extra good
feeders. under unusually good condit-
ions. and in the hands of an expert
enced feeder, 1t has been found that
fifteen pounds or better may be made
from a single bushel: 1t Is obvious,
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-02-02
TO MAKE HOGS PAY

however, such gains are of high Or
der and only follow in rather eXcep-
tional cases.
If a feeder is making gains OF ten
pounds to the bushel and the hogs are
worth 4c per pound, he is disposing of
his corn at 40c a bushel, If he can
reach the fifteen-pound mark. he can
dispose OF his corn for 60c a bushel. On
the other hand, if he is making gains
that hover around the six or seven
pound mark, he is getting from FAC
to 23c a bushel for his corn. 1t is
evident, therefore, that if the farmer
who is feeding swine is to do it at a
profit under present conditions he must
get a sufficient gain from his hogs to
warrant the feeding of corn that is
worth in the neighborhood of 40c.
Hogs Must Be Protected.
In cases where the hog is following
the steer, little is known of the gains
made AS a matter of fact, the fitting
of the steer is the prime object, and
whatever results are secured with the
hogs is considered as so much saved
that would have been lost otherwise. In
short the hog is the scavenger that is
following the cattle. Undoubtedly, the
custom of allowing the hogs to rough
it" is due in a considerable degree to
the fact that sort of a habit has been
formed from the experience in the
feeding yard.
When a hog feeder attempts to fol-
low the same plan with drove of hogs
being fed for market that his neigh
Dor is doing with his that are follow
ing steers he is very pt to come tO
grief He will at least soon realize
that feeding hogs first hand is quite
different proposition from the feed
ing when the hogs are following steers.
Necessarily the protection of the aver
age feed yard is limited and prob
ably the hogs are supplied with about
all that Is possible but this IS frequent
ly inadequate.
The hog does not possess the ca
petty for enduring cold In the measure

is commonly done. For those who feed
their grain in other ways, there is little
call to complain against mud and
snow, unless they are proportionately
careless with their troughs.
During the winter time it is partic.
ularly good policy to feed what the hog
can clean up, and then have done until
the next feeding. Excessive corn
thrown upon the ground means that
some is wasted, while the hogs, mix
ing it about during the day, fail in
their usual appetite, if they are not
stalled entirely. In the hog pen Of the
wise feeder there is never uneaten corn
laying about. Neither are the troughs
regularly overflled until in their icy
coating they have quite passed recog-
milton.
Meeting the Hogs Needs.
During the winter season, when the
ground is frozen, and the hogs are not
allowed to get at any mineral matter,
some care should be taken to see that
they are properly supplied. AS mat
ter of fact. this is such simple mat
ter that most farmers fail to fully APP
preciate it's Importance. Charcoal is
one of the essentials. While hog will

some, and this amount is about in pro-
portion with it's needs. Experiments
that have been conducted to test the
results of supplying some sort of min
eral matter have demonstrated that IT
pays in q long measure.
During the past few years packing
house products have been attracting
good deal of attention. One of the most
important of these is the digester tank
age. Experiments that have been con-
Quoted to test the matter seem to have
clearly demonstrated that 1t is a most
valuable material. AS an illustration.
the Michigan experiment station last
fall put a litter of ten pigs, equally
divided, into two pens at weaving time.
One was fed tankage and the other was
fed the same grain ration, but no tank
age. When representative of this
paper saw the pigs eight weeks after
the experiment was started, he was
surprised to see that the tankage fed
hogs were eighty pounds ahead OF the
other five pigs that had not the adj
vantage of this animal matter.
There is also an advantage to be Sc
cured with hogs in the mixing OF the
great grains. Carefully conducted tests
clearly indicate that hogs will do bet
ter upon mixed ration, and make
cheaper gains than they will upon a
clear feed of corn.
When the farmer more fully appre-
ciates these things he will not be -
backward in finding that there is mon-
ey in feeding hogs, even under the pre-.
sent rather unsatisfactory conditions

Chicago Feb. Cattle Country
shippers have learned from recent eX-
periences the danger of getting too
many cattle here on Thursday, and
only about ten thousand were received
today. There was the usual good de-
mand for fat lots and particularly for
heavy weights, with prices strong for
all such lots, the supply being very
light as usual. Thin and half fat, and
short fed cattle We're inactive, but no
lower. The firmness this week has
been confined mainly to cattle good en-
ough to sell at $3.50 and upwards. To-
days close and yesterdays late mar
ket were largely 10@l5c lower than on
Monday for other descriptions. The
stocker and feeder trade is active so
prices for such are higher, but common
lots are only fairly animated.
rather small proportion of the sup
ply yesterday consisted of cattle of the
class for which there was any urgency
in demand. Steers of good weight and
quality were wanted at steady prices,
and some light steers with an extra de-
gree of quality sold readily at firm
prices, but the great bulk of the plain
light and medium steers that formed
the rank and file of the big supply
dragged in the hands of statesmen at
the reduced prices noted above.
Hogs.
There was fair supply and trade
was animated at yesterdays late pric-
es. or 5 below Wednesdays highest.
The weeks receipts, however, show
an increase of 1900 over the first
three days of last week and 10000 over
year ago. The Independent packers
and the shippers were the principal
early traders yesterday, the big pack
ers holding off and being unwilling to
pay much if any advance. AS re-
suit the market, after the principal
early orders had been filled had de-
cidedly weak tone. Big packers are
looking for Tuesdays advance to bring
increased receipts the latter part Of
the week. But country shippers who
had to pay $3.50 and $3.50 in the coun-
try for good hogs last week are not
apt to be able to do much business I'M
less they can pay as much this week.
There is a general feeling in the trade
that prices for hogs have reached low
point for the first half of the year. and
Notwithstanding the fact that corn is
high feeders are not disposed to part
with young hogs at much if any lower
prices than those now current.
