Among the many lunching clubs

Ry A. ]. LEGG. West Virginia J

(By A. ]. LEGG, West Virginia.)
A few years ago was talking to a
farmer and business man who said
that he always thought that it cost
nearly 20 cents per pound to produce
pork.
At that time he had not had much
experience with hogs and could not
give him any definite figures on the
subject, but 1t put me to investigating.
l put 31-pound grade pig in pen,
fed him and mixed ground feed such
as the farm produced mixed with
water.
When the pig was five months old
he was slaughtered and weighed 103
pounds.
The pig had eaten 1884 pounds of
feed at $1.00 per hundred pounds. II
the pig is valued at $500 at the time
the feeding began 1t would make the
pork cost $0.056 per pound.
Last spring l weighed and kept an
account of the feed required for two
brood sows with twelve pigs.
The feeding began about a week be-
fore the pigs were narrowed and con-
tinued until the pigs were eight weeks
old.
At the END Of the period l found
that the pigs averaged thirty pounds
each and that had fed them the, fol-

TRAP NEST IS
A MONEY MAKER
Keeps Records OF Hens and He1DO
Eliminate "Star Boarders''
-Conserves Valuable
Breeders.

The conversion of a flock that bare
| ly pays for the feed 1t eats into one
which will lift the mortgage from the
home farm is largely matter OF
elimination of the star boarder," and
the conservation of the 200egg-a-year
hens. Those who have made special
study of this subject are firm believers
in the trap nest. To discover the best
| egg producers one must use the trap.
nest, or some method of keeping a
record of eggs laid by individual hens.
The trap nest is about the best thing
that has been discovered in the poul.
try business.
There will be but slow improvement
in breeding without an egg record for
each hen in the flock. The objection
to the trap nest is that 1t requires
too much labor for the farmer. That
is true in the majority of cases. Not
many farmers can give the necessary
time. It is here that the state or ex-
pertinent station should and can be a
great aid. There should be a breeding
station or several in every state, where
the farmers and poultry raisers could
secure at a fair price cockerels Of
good egg-laying pedigree to mate with
their flocks. 1t would not take so
very long to furnish those farmers
who had improvement of their fiocks
in view with a male bird whose an
cestry for two generations had an egg
record of $50 eggs year or more.
1t is the hen of vigor that lays;
without constitutional vitality she will
not lay. That is undoubtedly true. A
hen may have egg-laying capacity, but
without vigor she will not produce
eggs. On the other hand, the hen
may have vigor without egg-layins
capacity. She may have constitution
al vitality and lay less than 20 eggs
a year. The point is that by selecting
vigor alone will not make rapid prog
ress In breeding up strain of heavy
layers. Although vigor is one of the
main things, we must select both Wig
or and egg capacity. The trap nest
enables us to do this. The hen that
lays 200 eggs a year has good vitality,
so that a good egg record is an fndica.
tion of high vitality. 1t is possible
that the 200-egg hen will not produce
chicks of good vigor. 1t is also pos
slble that her eggs may not be fertile.
This is also possible in the poor layer.
1t is also possible that heavy laying
may injure her breeding qualities.
That is a debatable point, but the fact
remains that the hen that lays $50
eggs or more year has good vitality,
and it is such hens that one must de-
pend upon TO increase egg production
and make poultry keeping more profit
able.
A high egg record indicates constt
: tutional vitality and stamina. The
trap nest, therefore, selects for vigor
as we'll as egg-laying capacity. II
each state would take hold of this in
practical way, without doubt In Q
few years 1t, would add millions of dol
lars to the profits of poultry keepers

SURPRISED DOCTOR.
Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability Of
Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis
ordered that they will reject every
thing else, is illustrated by the case
of woman in Racine, Wis.
1.-TWO years ago." she says, II was
attacked by stomach trouble so Sc
rious that for long time could not
take much of any sort of food. Even
the various kinds prescribed by the
doctor produced most acute pain.
eve then got some Grape-Nuts food,
and you can imagine my surprise and
delight when found that l could eat
it with relish and without the slight
est distress.
when the doctor heard of it he told
me to take several small portions each
day, because he feared l would grow
tired of it as had of all other food.
But to his surprise, (and that of
everybody else), l did not tire Of
Grape-Nuts, and became better day by
day, till, after some weeks, my stom-
ach entirely recovered and was able
to eat anything my appetite craved
my nerves, which had become so
weakened that feared l would be-
come insane, were also restored by
the Grape-Nuts food in connection
with Postum which has become our
table beverage. / appreciate most
gratefully and thankfully the good that
your food preparations have done me,

inquiring as to my experience" Name

Embroidery plays an important role
in some of the chic little evening
frocks, but it is most often in self
color and has no touch of gorgeous
ness such as is shown in many of the
embroideries for older folk. A little
crystal or gold or silver is admissible,
but nothing striking or elaborate.
A delightful little frock of the pal

pink silk foundation. The tulle was
sprinkled with crystal dewdrops. The
only trimming was ruches of tulle

If we divide $1439 by twelve, the
number of pigs, we find that the feed
bill cost practically $1.20 each for the
pigs.
A fair estimate of the labor caring
for the sows and pigs and feed
for the sows during the CESSATION per-
iod would likely add $1.00 per head
to the cost of the pigs which would
put the cost up to 1920 each.
