pump inside the house. Eventually
a gasoline engine Is to be Install
ed for pumping. A steam feed
cooker is also to be put in. for
next season. The hogs are eating
large quantities of alfalfa hay, along
with a liberal quantity of tankags
and of ground feed, and all are do
ing as fine as hogs could do. Mr..
Doughtery expects to have betweea
300 and 400 little pigs ON the place
by next fall.

imported stock did nothing else,
it would be worth the cost in its
teaching the lesson that 1T pays

feed them WE'LL So many hogs In
Idaho have been of the razor back
variety, and have had only razor
back care and feed, that the av-
erage weight OF hogs of any given
age has been altogether too low
for profit. Not few growers have
figured that alfalfa alone was
good and sufficient ration for hogs
and if they didn't have the alfalfa
yet, but planned to have it somo-
time in the future, lit would still
be all right since their intentions
were good. Alfalfa is a fine feed
but isn't enough to make pigs grow
or faoten profitably. There will be
feed hogs raised here ON the Rich
field tract, on alfalfa alone-and the
feeding of grain and cooked vege-
.ables Will make hog-raising one of
.he most profitable of industries.

Rlchfield rs going to have to
have some more school room and
ought to have it right now,
and must have it before another
year comes.
fThe schools are more crowded
this year than ever before; not too
bad dly 5os the present excellent corps
of teachers to do excellent work,
perhaps the best being done in the
state in any school of equal size,
but too much for them to do their
very best. By another year the
present quarters will be altogether
too small, so that the children who
flock i'm for the exceptional advan-
tages of the Richfield schools will
not be able to find places.
Anticipating this condition as it
will be next year, the school board
invited Architect Wayland of Boise
to come over and see what could
be dome to enlarge the present
capacity. He was here last week,
and made thorough examination OF
the present building, with a view to
the most economical and satisfactory
way of enlarging. He advised rails
ing the roof, and building another
story on the ONE already used. The
walls are heavy and strong, and in

Plans for Richield Town Hall

Plans have been submitted to the
village board for city hall, to be
Quit widh the proceeds of the vii
lage bonds voted for two months
ago.
At first, it was thought that a
building approximately 30xS0 feet
would be about what was wanted !;
but now it is proposed to make it
larger than that, about 40xS0.
From the estimates received, 1T is
iigured that 1T can be built for the
sum named in the bonds-S5, 900.
It Will be of lava rock, which will
be attractive, and especially service
able and economical. 1t is to have
pit and a loft for handling big
stage ings-curtains and other
appliances that take lots of room.
There are not half a dozen stages
in the state that would handle a
big production better than the one
for the Richfield hall.

The Farmers Society of Equity
Rched Organizes the Star Local In the State of Idaho
SHOULD Stand High In the Councils of the Soci-
ETY. at the Coming State Convention.

Richfield starts in with the Iarg-
est charter member organization OF
amy local branch of the Farmer s
Society of Equity yet organized in
Idaho. And from Indications. this
may mean the leadership i'm very
great popular movement.
THE sotdety was organized here
Saturday afternoon, with 81 paid
UP members, and a number of other
that are the same as members
emily that they had overlooked the
formality of paying their dues in
time for this first membership.
G. S. Hopes was elected presi-
DENT. E. G. Tabor. vice president,
r. E. Mickelwait treasurer, and w.
S. Parkhurst, secretary. They will
ait once go to work to make the
Richfield local the strongest in the
state to hold up the reputation it
has made in starting with SO strong
a membership.
The organization is framed some
thing along the lines of the old
Grange, but lit is to be national in
its scope, and is to take a broad,
comprehensive view of the prob
lem of production and distribution
instead of the localized view that
has destroyed so many oranges and
other cooperative societies and
mGvemNnts. 1t will aim to give to

The Recorder editor had the pleas
ure of visiting the fine Berkshire
ranch of w. T. Doughtery one day
This week.
Mr.. DaughteIy was one of the
originators Of the Berkshire Breed
ers Association, that shipped in a
car of registered Berkshires from
Illinois this fall, at cost of almost
$4,000. He took his part of the ship
ment, down to his ranch 21a miles
southwest of Riehfield, where they
are now growing into money as
weeds grow into corfields in the
not days of July.
The fine new hog house is en-
closed, and the hogs are using it
for shelter. 1t is not all fitted up
inside, however, but the work is
being carried on to get ready for
spring. The house is 24-72 feet,
with "a windows, to light it thoro-
ly and to let in the sunshine as the
cheapest and best heating and dis
injecting agent possible to have.
There will be two rows of pens, IL
ON either side, each pen 6x8 feet in
size; and a driveway feet wide,
down THE center of the house, to
take feed and water, and to serve
IS working room for the attend dants
BY cutting down the driveway in
width, the capacity of the house can
be increased nearly one-half. The
partitions will all be so built that
they can be removed, leaving all or
amy part of the house as a gene
raj assembly room, where the pigs
can run at their own sweet will.
The individual pens will be built so
that the others cannot overlay the
little pigs, and by April the place
will be over run with little pigs.
Water is brought from the river,
which is only hundred and fifty

would double the present capacity
at a comparatively small cost.
1t lis probable that if the increase
is made there will be one large
assem- bly, room on the upper floor,
the size of TWO of the present class
rooms, which would probably care
for the school population for two
or three years longer, by which
time another building would be a
necessity.
Some provisions will have to be
made during the winter, for the
money with which to build. 1t is
believed that the taxpayers and pa
irons will enjoy knowing in advance
that they will have to dig up"
lct s;f money, Sc tnat when the time
comes they can have it already
saved UP and ready TO hand over to
the tax collector.
But really, the Richfield schools
are proving such a notable success
this year, that lit might be that even
doubling the present capacity will
not care for all the children who
will be sent here. 1t is painful
ly good school-for 1T brings addi
tional burdens to cane for the
children from away from here who

--llIs 10 keep Within the range Oi
wnat can be done and not go into
IT purely theoretical. But the great
speculaucTs, like the Keenes and
LeiberS and others who cornered on
wheat or coUuon or other supplies,
and take such enormous toll from
che public, are to be eliminated if
possible, so that the producer and
consumer can get together with a
profit to both.
The society is already organized
in fifteen counties in Idaho. It's
national headquarters are in In
djanapoMs. In southern Idaho, it
has been doing a Lot of work this
year, with wonderful profit to the
producers and yet without ex-
tortipn to the consumer-merely e.
Eliminating the brokers and middle
mem who have NO rightful place in
the economical handling of business
does the work.
1t is understood that the Society
of Equity and the Potato Grow
ers' Association will work together
i'm close harmony, though as the
potato growers organization is for
the ONE purpose of selling potatoes,
while the other aims at the sale
as we'll as the handling of all kinds
of products, both from farm and
factory, it would be fair guess tha
the Society of Equity will be the
dog and the other merely the tail.
