HOGS AS THE LITTER
Of THE MORTGAGE

The breeders of thorou9 hbred hogs
in the valley are growing more nu-
merous every year. and year by year
our farmers are seeing the necessity
of growing more hogs and buying less
bacon at the grocery.
The farmer can produce his own
meat for less than onc-fourth of what
ne must pay at the grocery. Ex-
perts claim that the farmer can pro-
duce less bacon at cost not to cx-
coed four cents per pound if he will
DDS. and with the superior advantage
tn efarmcr possesses in this valley.
it looks like a wilful waste of money
for h Ia tc buy bacon-he should be
selling uacoE rather than buying ana
he can sell at an enormous profit
much that without hogs to consume
it, would go to waste.
Take for instance the damaged fruit
-culls-table scraps, slop, etc, that
can be- fed to hogs at big profit
that would otherwise be thrown out
to decay and create unsanitary condi-
tions about the home. endangering
the health of the family. Raise
more hogs and raise the best. The
thOroughbrcds as a rule can be turned
on to the market at the age of eight
to nine months weighing from 225
to 275 pounds each and at very sat
isfactory price.
The hog as mortgage litter, on
the farm has no equal. The farmer
who wants an auto can buy few
pigs in the spring an dturn them into
an auto in the fall,

It PAYS TO keep
COWS COMFORTABLE

To give his cows the proper shelter
the dairyman must have a clean,
warm, we'll lighted and well ventilated
barn, writes E. f. Rushing in the Iowa
Homestead. The size will depend al
together upon the capacity Of the farm
and the number Of COWS to be shel.
tered. My ideal is the basement barn.
or, in other words, to build the barn
on hillside or some way that leads
to second story. In this way ven.
tilation and doorways may be had In
the sides and end Of the barn.
The walls of the basement may be
made Of stone or brick, or II this can
not be afforded q wall under the side
that stands next the hill may be con-
structed and the other three sides be
made of framing Many prefer the
cement walls. which are cheaper than
the rock or brick as a man can build
a cement wall himself, which will save
all expense. except for the material.
The stalls Of the dairy barn should
have tight walls and ceiling. but should

like as Christ was raised from the
grave so do we arise to walk with
of separation dividing us from the
old man and the old world of sin
Please read that portion of the sixth
chapter of Romans dealing so clearly
on this subject. See how there must
of necessity be "A death bcfore'thcrc

nature being crucified with Christ
that the body of sin might be de-
stroycd. That henccforth we should
not serve sin but on the other hand
we should walk with him in ncwncss
of life. Now as Israel was delivered
from the awful bondage of old Egypt
by the might power of God through
Moses and Aaron. so are we delivered
frmo this old world of sin through
the Lord Jesus Chrits. and by the
power of the Holy Spirit. Dear read
ers we must see that in the primal
days of the church. according toGod's
word, that it takes the mighty pow r
of God to deliver from sin and if we
as a people of God would see our lack
of the annoining or power of God on
our lives and seek his face in prayer
and in the study of his wodr. we
would soon begin to see precious souls
saved and the church brought back
to a place of power with God. There
being another thought also in my
mind, that is so ncedful, and that is
of our getting back to the old paths ;
we as people of God have to some
extent drfted away from the preach

teachers and evangelsts seek to

TWO DAIRY PROBLEMS.
Proper Composition Of Feed . Matter
Of Great Importance.

Proper Composition Of Feed = Matter
Of Great Importance.
The dairy farmer has two great prob
lens confronting him Mt all times
namely. the labor and the feeding
problems. His success depends large
ly on his ability to cope with them.
and especially with the feeding prob
lem. His cows are, in measure, ma
chimes through which raw materials
pass and are turned out as finished
products. the quality Of which are de-
termined by the individual COW. II
the raw materials are not balanced"
the result may be fat on the cows
back instead of milk in the pail; it may
mean flesh from the cows body to
make milk or waste Of material al
together. II not supplied in sufficient
quantities the machine discontinues its
work and the COW goes dry.
Far too many dairymen work on the
assumption that II their cows are fed
all they will eat or clean up nicely
of feeds affording variety they are do
ing their best. The question Of feed
composition should receive more
thought. A man may easily feed un-
balanced rations that will waste
enough material. for which he has to
pay high prices to make his business
improbable. even under otherwise
favorable conditions. York Trib-

Benjamin Franklin.

The greatest economy in the home
menu comes with the knowledge of
making over meat into Il dish that is
both tasty and nourishing and a dish
that does not proclaim too loudly the
fact that it is IA leftover says the
Modern Priscilla.
However, there are many ways in
which the remnants may he clothed
and adorned so that the original dish
is not recognized.
Chicken. lamb or mutton may be
freed from the bone. heated in its own
gravy and used as follows: Make Il
small pan of biscuit dough and when
it is baked split it open and pour on
the meat. Place the remainder of the
biscuit on top and pour over all the
thickened gravy.
Slices Of meat of any kind may be
feated in Il portion of the gravy and
canned mushrooms added. Add butter

Pork may be cooked until the meat
falls to pieces: then remove the bone.

as scrapple.

GARDEN CONTEST
WORK NOW ON

Mr.. C. G. Thomson the field organ
izcr for the garden contests of the
state has spent the past week in ouI
county visiting the different school
and encouraging the work in contests
which the state department under
State Superintendent Preston has be-
gun.
All day Monday he was in Ellcns
burg visiting and making addresses
at the Normal Training School, the
Normal School, the High School and
the Grade Schools. In the evening
he gave an illustrated lecture at the
Central school building.
Tuesday he visited several rural
schools east of Ellensburg finishing
at Kittitas where he gave a lecture
at night.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
he visited a number of school in the
rural communities as well as Thorp
Gle Elum and Roslyn.
The garden contest work has been
started in Ellensburg last year and
Prof. Thomason's visit has given much
interest fto the movement.

sound floor
-. The cows that are forced to stand in
a dark, dirty stall cannot be expected
to produce as much milk nor milk that
will have the wholesome qualities as
the COW that is furnished with we'll
lighted airy stall. one that has win
dows to admit the sunlight and one
that the foul air Of the stable is re-
placed by the good, pure air. without
subjecting the COW to injurious drafts.
The stalls with tight walls and ceilings
prevent loss of heat In cold weather
and thus contribute greatly to the CON-
fort Of both the COW and the mixer.
When the dairy COW is on full feed
she is hard worked and is less able
to withstand extremes Of weather than
other stock. for her energies are then
being exerted in the direction Of pro-
duction rather than self preservation.
1t is more profitable as well as more
human to keep her warm by making
the stable comfortable instead Of COM
polling her to use large amounts of
expensive foods in maintaining her
body temperature.
Nothing Is more important in the
dairy barn than sound. impervious

derived from such floor. The animals

piled to the land without loss, the
stables are cleaned with less effort, and
cleaner milk Is produced. which will

An OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOUR BOYS

poses to help one young man in each
county to acquire an agricultural ed
ucation that will not only be OF SER
vice to him, but to hundreds of other
young men. j. II. Perkins. commits
sioner of Agriculture for the state is
backing up the following plan.
p The plan is to have boy of be-
tween IA and 10 years of age, selected
in some manner. from each county in
the state, this selection to be made
preferably, by the Grange or the
Farmers Union or some representa-
tive of these organizations. as they
more fully represent the farmers and
his family, this boy to become guest
of the state at the State Fair next
year at North Yakima.
He is to prepare an exhibit, under
the supervision of the Commissioner,
take it to the State Fair and then be
there as a student of the fair, such
as dairying, horticulture, etc.
"All expenses of the trip ARE to
be paid by the state, but the boy
must be one who is interested in farm
work and is anxious to imprive in
that line of work and not one who is
not interested, but whom his parents
desire to become so, so the place is
primarily for the benefit of the one
boy, but for the education Of the 9TH
er boys of the state"
Any and all applications for the po-
sition above outlined, must be in the
hands of b, F. Mundy on or before
December 20.
