Receives Injuries

John Buchholz, living east of
town, received injuries last Thurs
day which will inconvenience him
for some time. He was working
in his field with disc and in
some manner fell from the ma
chine in such a way as to be struck
by the sharp knives, which cut
several deep gashes in his legs.
At this time Mr.. Buchholz is
able to get around by the use of
crutches but it will be some time
before is fully recovered.

A FINAL SETTLEMENT
Important Decision Handed Down
BY Judge Raper

The long drawn out legal bat
tie between Mrs. Amelia Rieger,
widow of Henry Rieger, deceased,
and his children by former mar
riage, has Just been concluded by
the judgment of Judge Raper
sustaining the ante-nuptial con-
tract entered into by Henry RE
ger and his widow, previous to
their marriage, to the effect that
the survivor should claim nothing
in the estate of the other. The
court holds that the contract is
valid and enforcible, and as the
supreme court had held previously
the same when the case was there
last winter, this ends the legal
heartache for these people. 1t is
a wise and commendab decision
as there are hundreds of such
contracts among the people of
the state, and this decision will
prevent wasting litigation among
families whose heads have mar
ried for convenience, and who
possess families and property ac-
quired during former marriages.
This case involved many intricate
questions of law which are now
settled for all time. 1t is a great
and a leading case.

COUNTY OPTION
GOOD MEETING HELD At COURT
HOUSE ON MONoAY
Permanent Organization Effected
and Many Interesting Speeches
We're Made by Candidates

On Monday those favorable TO
county option met in convention
at the court house, there being
many from the various towns in
the county in attendance.
Meeting was called to order
by John l.. Cleaver, and on no.
tion of Rev. Mastin, V. G.. Ly-
ford was elected chairman, who
on taking the chair stated that
all civilized countries unite in
condemning and regulating the
liquor traffic. County option
promises a local solution of the
problem much more satisfactory
than any other.
The opponents of county op.
tion have organized personal
liberty league. claiming that
temperance legislation abridged
their individual rights, and at
the same time they are attempt
ing to prevent the people out
side of the towns and cities
from having any part in regu.
lating the sale of liquor. Some
are attempting to deceive vot-
ers by claiming that county op-
tion is not an issue, while the
fact is, it is the paramount
question in connection with the
election of the next legislature.
All over the state men have
been nominated with reference
to their stand on this question.
1t is not a partisan measure,
as is shown by the fact that in
some counties the candidates
favorable to county option are
democrats, while in others they
are republicans.
p. b. Weaver was elected
chairman, A committee COM
posed of John l.. Cleaver, w. j.
McCray and John Holman was
appointed on permanent organ
izatlon. While this committee
was out several stirring speech
es were made which aroused
the enthusiasm of those present.
On invitation, J. Il. Cain, jr., 5.
H. Boleiack and O. E. Zook ad.
dressed the convention and
each pledged himself to vote
for a county option law, if
elected. A letter from Geo. e.
Ward was read stating that he
was sick and unable to attend,
but he was glad of the oppor-
tunity presented whereby he
could pledge himself for county
option.
The chairman asked any 9TH
er candidate present to come
forward and state their position
on county option, and as none
appeared he asked if anyone
present could vouch for the 9TH
er candidates, but no one an
swered for them.
The committee on organiza.
tion reported as follows:
The name of this organization
will be the Richardson County
League. Its object will be to
secure a county option law that
will give to every voter in this
county a right to vote on the
license question, as we believe
every voter, whether he lives in
the country or in the towns,
should have vote in matters
that effect the interests of the
whole people. To this end we
will labor for the election of
candidates to the legislature
who will pledge themselves to
give us such a law. All persons
| interested in the cause of Coun-
ty option, who are residents of
this county, are hereby declared
members of this league. The
officers will be a president, vice
president, secretary and treas.
urer. There will be a chairman
in each precinct and ward, who

SELECTION OF
BREEDING HOGS

Taken as a whole. there is no
marked difference between the early
maturing qualities of the Poland
China, Duroc Jersey, Chester White
or berkshire breeds OF hogs. Neither
has it been proven that one has any
marked superiority over the other as
to the rate at which flesh may be laid
on or the chcapness of gains. The
characteristics of these breeds are
well marked, and there are special
points OF excellence that one breed
may posseTs S TO greater degree than
the others; still, considering the fac
tors which determine almost entirely
the profit or loss in hog raising. name
". fecundity, rate and cheapness of
gains. a more marked difference will
be found between individuals Of the
same breed than between any of the
above breeds taken collectively. 1t is
therefore necessary whether breeding
pure ebred hogs or grades to consider
the individual carefully when select
Ing breeding animals.
The fccundity of sows always ap-
ters varies with breeds to some eX-
tent, but still more with individuals.
Statistics compiled by the Indiana eX-
periment station show that the aver
age size of several hundred Poland
China. Berkshire and Chester White
litters were: Poland China, 6.5 pigs
to the litter; Berkshire. seven pigs to
the litter. and Chester White, 10 pigs
TO the litter. However, litters of these
breeds will vary from three or four
to ten or more pigs to the litter. Con-
finemcnt and overwhelming tend to re-
duce fecundity. Again. sows that are
sluggish or overrefined in type are
usually Indifferent breeders. So far
as known the SOW controls the size OF
lltters, and since fecundity is largely
an individual or family characteristic
1t is good policy to select brood sows
only from litters of which at least
seven pigs have been successfully
raised.
In selecting breeding hogs, either
male or female, the following points
should receive consideration: Form,
size for age, quality, and feet and legs.
To thoroughly inspect a hog, 1t Is
necessary to view it from the side.
front and rear, both standing and in
motion. From the side the hog should

rounded ham. From front and rear

spring OF rib and ham are uniform.
Good quality is indicated by fine
hair. medium bone, absence of wrin-
kles and general coarseness. Hogs
coarse in type mature slowly and fat
ten indifferently. Those possessing
harsh hair and skin and showing wrin-
kles will produce inferior pork.
Breeding hogs should have short.
strong legs and strong, upright pas
terms.
Lack Of sufficient bone, as shown
by weak, broken down pasterns. is n
common defect noticeable in brood
sows, especially those that have been
fed largely on corn. In fact, feed has
much to do with development and
strength of bone. A low. weak back
indicates weakness, and no young sow
showing such defect should be saved
for breeding. These two defects
weak pasterns and backs-may be
readily noticed when the pig is moved
and often when standing. Other COM
mon faults ere coarse shoulders open
on top, poorly sprung, short ribs and
narrow loin.
None but pure bred boars of good
form should be used, and only those
possessing early maturing qualities.
By selecting vigorous. well formed
sows of prolific families and pure
bred, early maturing boars of good
quality, the best combination is Sc
cured. This combination of good
qualities may be secured in one breed.
but more often hog raisers attempt to
secure them by selecting sows of one
breed and boars of another. There is
nothing radically wrong with this plan
If market stock is the object. still
equally good or better results can be
obtained by sticking to one breed and
making careful selection of all
breeding stock.
