The Hog Situations

The market hog situation is assum-
ing more cheerful look every day.
With hogs already selling for over
six cents it is common prediction
that they will go to seven and higher
before another crop is ready to put on
the market. For the last three or four
months The Farmer has steadily
maintained that the hog situation was
far from hopeless and that those who
cut loose from their brood sows and
went out of the business because of
the temporary low prices of hogs and
the high prices of feed were making a
mistake. The large run of hogs at the
various markets during the past few
months has been matter of great
establishment and for a short time
prophets were beginning to wonder if
the hog crop of last year was vastly
underestimate or if farmers were
going clear out of the business. Now
that the country is almost cleaned up
OF marketable hogs 1t Deglns to look
as though there was but one outcome
for the future. In the northwest it
seems probable that we may see next
fall an entire reversal of the situation
last fall. 1t was high priced barley
and low priced hogs the past season.
With larger acreage of barley and a
smaller number of good brood sows
we are quite likely to see low priced
barley and high priced hogs next sea-
son. The man who sticks to the crops
and the kind of stock that pay him
average profits year in and year out
is usually the man who makes the
most money in the long run. Chasing
after temporary money makers often
lands us in trouble.-The Farmer.

MAKE 1T YOURSELF.
Tells Our Readers How to nix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

A wel-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bed time.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken req
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rhematism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perrna-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless an can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

Nuts to Crack.

In autumn there are nuts to crack
OF every size and kind.
Hazelnuts and hickory
And chestnuts you will find.
And if around the nursery fire
You sit and crack and eat
And joke and spin a merry-yarn
IT'S happiness complete.
But there are other nuts to crack,
Quite different, you'll find,
From hazelnuts or hickory
Or any other kind
Geography, arithmetic,
These nuts are hard. indeed,
And spelling is another nut,
And there's to write and read.
And history and grammar, all
These nuts are good to eat.
Though hard to crack, you'll find in
each
A kernel sound and sweet.
Indeed, a bag of nuts Is hid
Behind each schoolroom door.
Be sure you've cracked them, every
one,
Before you ask for more.

A "Fair" Contest.

How many school children are
there who are familiar with the his
tory of their own state?
The management of the State Fair
are interested in learning to what ex-
tent the children of Minnesota know
of the struggles of the early settlers,
and they propose novel method of
ascertaining.
The big spectacular feature of the
1908 Fair will be known as 'Fort
Ridgely in '62. A reproduction of the
old fort as it stood, at that time, will
be constructed in the in-tield of the
half-mile, and portrayal of the at
tack by the Indians is to be repro
duced.
One thousand people, including
three hundred genuine Sioux Indians,
will participate in the exhibition. 1t
is intended to make the enactment as
consistent as possible, and, as yet, the
story upon which the action will be
based is undecided. In order to secure
a variety of versions of the various
attacks by the Indians on Fort Ridgely,
the State Fair management intend
offering eighteen prizes for the best
story or description of the affair,
written by a pupil in the Public
Schools.
The story may be taken from any of
the many histories that are published
on the Sioux War in Minnesota, Or,
they may be written from descriptions
of the battles, as described by partici-
pants, many of whom are alive, and
living in various parts of the State.
The story must be written, however,
in the writer's own style, and not
quoted.
Any boy or girl living in Minnesota,
and a pupil of the Public Schools, may
contest for the prizes. A committee
of prominent business men of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, will act as judges,
and the spectacle will be based on the
events as described in the winning
story, which will be published in the
official program of the Fair, together
with portrait of the writer.
There will be eighteen prizes given
Is follows:
To the one whose story is selecte d
Is the winner, there will be given
ash prize of Ten Dollars ($10.0O), q
season ticket to the Fair, good for
both Main Gate and Grandstand, and
n addition mammoth portrait of the
winner will be shown in fireworks, on
he first night of the Fair.
To the one whose story is consider
ID second best, there will be given a
,ash prize of Five Dollars ($5.0O, and
! season ticket to the Fair.
To the third, Three Dollars ($3.00),
