CORN GROWING CONTEST
Six Boys Take Part in This COun.
ty...Edgar Williams Raises
Over 100 Bushels.

Six boys from Highland county took
part in the Boys Corn Growing Con-
test, conducted by the State Board Of
Agriculture and all made excellent
records.
The boys and the number of bushels
produced per acre by them follows:
j. Edgar Williams, Liberty town.
ship, l04 491 bushels.
Lloyd Hodson, Fairfield township,
S8.22S bushels.
Joseph Blackburn, Penn township,
S7857 bushels.
Charles Blackburn, Penn township,
S3 SO bushels
Donald Duckwall, Liberty township,
52.05 bushels.
Nearly 1900 boys enlisted in the con-
test. or these 81 got over 100 bushels
of corn off of their acre.
Dewey Hanes, of Darke county, was
the champion, raising 129 l25 bushels
on his acre. He took land on which
alfalfa had been grown for several
years, tile drained it, put on it 10 loads
OF manure and 600 pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizer, containing 10 per cent.
of PHOSPHORUS and 6 per cent. OF
potash, planted May 9 choice seed
corn, carefully tended his crop and
harvested it between Nov. / and 10.
What the 81 boys, who raised over
100 bushels to the acre, accomplished
is to be judged by comparison with the
average production of corn in Ohio,
which is 35 bushels to the acre.
The prize winners in this contest
will start on trip to Washington
next Monday, Dec. 16. They will
travel on a special train the Corn
Special. The train will stop for half
day in Pittsburg, where the boys will
be the guests Of the National Stock
man and Farmer. Fourhours will be
spent In Harrisburg, Capital Of Penn
sylvania and three full days in Wash
ington. In Washington special tours
have been arranged. On Wednesday
the boys will be the guests OF the Ohio
Farmer on trip to Mt. Vernon, the
home of Washington. Thursday they
will be received by President Taft and
arrangements have been made for
them to attend sessions of both the
Senate and House Of Representatives.
The trip will be personally conduct.
ed by Hon. A. p. Sandles, secretary of
the Board of Agriculture.
In almost all Of the counties the CIV
ing of prizes was taken up by some as
ISOLATION or business house. But un-
fortunately no such action was taken
here and If the boys get to go they
must pay their own way, which will
be $50.

Little Miss Susan.

What promises to be the biggest
comedy sensation in years is Fred Ray
mond's latest effort in playwriting
which he has christened Little Miss
Susan. In writing this comedy, Mr.
Raymond has followed a precedent
established several year ago by Dem
man Thompson when this latter named
actor author wrote The Old Home
stead, using the same characters that
he had used in his earlier play of
Joshua Whitcomb The characters in
Little Miss Susan are of Mr.. Ray
mond's own creation and you have
probably seen and enjoyed most of
them in some of his previous product
ions; but the play itself, is new, the
ideas up-to-date, and when you see
these old favorite characters worked
into charming plot with the most
laughable situation imaginable, you
can not fail to be more than pleased.

IF YOU WANT SPRING PIGS
Good Plan to Have Sows Sturdy
When Litters Come.

The hog grower must manage &c
have the pigs come at the most desir
able season, both in spring and fall.
The last of February is not too early
for the spring pigs, and September
is about the proper time for fall lit
tiers. We wean our fall pigs at eight
weeks old. The sow's ration is cut
down at least one-half for a few DAYS.
Corn is the principal ration until the
milk dries up, then the sows are fed
literally on middlings and other feeds
rich in protein until the sows come in
heat.
The object is to have the hogs in
thriving condition when bred. They
should be bred by November 10 if the
pigs are to come in February. My rec
ords show that my old sows do not.
as rule require a longer CESSATION
period than young sows. One year
a young sow not yet year old, two
year-old sow and six-year old sow
were all bred on the same day. and
all farrowcd pigs on the same date.
! have kept record of dates of breed
ing and of farlowing for the past
ten years, and three days is the great
est variation in date of narrowing
shown by these records.
| like to have my sows in good con
ton when the pigs come. am not
much afraid of getting them too fat,
but there is quite difference between
the ordinary good condition and an
overfat sow ! sometimes think that
neglectful hog owners use the too fat
theory as an excuse for their neglect
to care properly for their hogs
American Agriculturist.
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1912-11-30
Handling the Foal.

The small breeder who has use for
his mares has great advantage, as it
is easy for the mare to earn her way
and still raise foal. To this end the
foal must early be taught to eat and
be left in safe place with plenty of
food while the mare is at work When
running with larger horses a creep
may be arranged for foals to run un-
der to a box of grain which the larger
horses cannot reach. Young foals with
plenty of exercise will not eat too
much and should be allowed all they
will eat. They can take care OF a
large amount of protein food and
and make good use of it producing
bone and muscle
The first year in the pasture is not
enough to produce the best type of
horses They should have grain as
well as pasture. Raised in this way
the colts will have to be separated
from the FLIES when about one year
old. but the colts may run together
until nearly two years old. AT two
years of age draft colts and fllies
properly raised may do light work
with only benefit to themselves and
thus become self supporting.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Let the horse stable during the win
ter be warm and dry, but never too
/ tight.
Alfalfa and clover are superior to
all other feeds as a roughage for preg
nant ewes.
There is danger in feeding corn %
the SOW either before or after the lit
ter comes.
The brood sow during the winter
must have clean, dry and warm sleep
ing quarters.
If corn only is fed. the ewes be-
come too fat and produce small and
weakly lambs.
Low bushes with leaves on make
good winter forage for sheep and
young animals.
Hogs should not be confined in a
close pen where they will have to live
in filthy quarters.
years in the semi-arid country is that
sheds and other dry places for ewes
due to lamb early.
The breeding practice should be so
planned that the calves will be born
early in the spring.
1t is as a feed for the breeding
herd that silage has proved of the
greatest economic value.
The hog is naturally clean animal,
and should not be made to live in
contact with manure piles.
Tankage. the material, made by the
big packing houses, is an excellent
addition to the Migration.
As a food for young cattle there
seems to be nothing quite equal to
silage to insure steady growth and
strong. vigorous health.
The fall litter of course suffers the
most from neglect because the condi-
tons at this time of the year are the
least Favorable to its growth.
Have the barn and feeding pens so
located that the drainage from them
will be help to growing crops IN
stead of nuisance to the home.
The man who grows swine to I'LL
his fattening pens is troubled with
under--siz sows and runty litters and
the breeder finds his pigs in small de
mand.
On dry, cold days let the horses
out in a large pasture or field for exer-
else and what feed they can pick up.
The cheapest pork is produced where
the pigs are grown on variety and
kept growing thriftily from start to
finish.

Sweet Corn and the Worm.

Sweet corn, the silks and tassels OF
which had been kept lightly busted
with a Goa. OF powdered arsenate of
lead and air slaked lime, yielded 50
per cent more uninjured corn at the
Kansas experiment station last year
than untreated corn The air slaked
lime and powdered arsenate OF lead
combination was not entirely inactive,
for where the dust fell in large guam
titles in the axis of the leaves and
remained it robbed the leaves of their
color. DR.. T. ]. Headlee. State ento-
mologist at the experiment station,
believes wheat -four. or possibly pow
dered sulphur, might be a good sub
Stitute for the lime in destroying
worms The dust treatment is not
harmful so far as the eating of the
corn is concerned. The dust is placed
outside of the husk.

Timely Chickens Hints.

1t is high time to consider the green
feed question. If good supply of
mangels or cabbage has been over
looked, arrangements should be made
at once for sprouting some grain.
Better look around and see that
there are no cracks for drafts to slip
through to swell the head of the hens;
and warp your bank account. A hole
the size of lead pencil alongside of
the roost can start colds in one night
that will develop into more roup than
can be got rid of in six months.
A good bank of straw or coarse
manure on the north, west and east
sides of the portable colony house or
even the stationary house will add
much to its warmth and comfort on
stormy days.
Damp. cold fall rains are likely to
bring the appearance of colds. If
colds appear action must be quick,
and decisive Remove the affected
birds, squeeze the discharge from the
nostrils and squirt pure hydrogen per
oxide through them by means OF a
medicine dropper In the drinking
water of the affected birds place
enough permanganate of potash to
make it wine red.-Western Poultry

Use of Cement.

There is no use to which cement can
be put that has more to commend II
than when employed in the making OF
a feeding floor for the hogs. Years ago
the idea somehow got lodged in the
minds of a good many farmers that
hogs would just as soon, or little BIZ
rather, eat out of dirty trough, stand
ing in six or eight inches of filth or
m;re, but the truth is that hog not
only prefers a clean dry place in which
70 sleep, but also appreciates clean
trough and firm and reasonably clean
floor on which to stand when eating.
A good many of these cement feeding
floors have been put in and whole
lot more ought to be. They make it
cleaner for the pigs and whole lot
cleaner for the fellow who has to feed
them.

Taking up an idea which has been
successfully employed in Canada,
Professor f.. A. Howes, of the Uni
versity of Nevada, is advocating by
correspondence with the agricultural
interests of the State the formation of
the Nevada Experimental Union"
with the object of interesting the
farmers of the State in practical ex-
detrimental work and thus getting CO.
operation which could be secured in
no other way and personal interest
in the work of improving seed selec-
ton and crop production.
The result, it is believed. will be
the secur ng OF experiments conduct
ed under wide range of conditions,
which will give some very valuable
