SUCCESSFUL HOG RAISING.

William Raymond, of Wheelock,
gives an account Of profitable hog
raising on one Of his farms. One
cent q pound live weight was what it
actually cost him to raise the pork.
Ii. the winter of 1911-12 he had four
or five sows which were wintered
without expense in a straw stack, get
ting only what grain had been wasted
in threshing. In the spring they were
fed ground screenings mixed with
milk until a rape pasture was ready,
about an acre of land being used for
this purpose. Rape with good well
water and carrots late in the summer
kept these sows with their young un-
til the grain crop had matured. At
harvest time bundles of wheat, oats
and barley, were thrown to the pigs
until threshing time, when they were
finished up with barley and Canadian
field peas and oats which had been
grown together.
One man took care of this farm
which has 200 acres under cultivation.
Without counting labor, rape pasture
and screenings, but just the grain
used, Mr.. Raymond found that it cost
him one cent a pound to bring these
hogs to a weight Of over 200 pounds
per head. He has eight sows kept
over the past winter, and with early
narrowing and more feed at hand he
expects to raise the weight to $50 this
season at very nearly the same cost.

RESTRICTIONS ON MARRIAGE
Applicants for License Must Show
Health Certificates-New Law.

The new law regulating the issu-
ance Of marriage licenses is one of the
best laws enacted in recent years. The
law provides that no woman under As
years, or man of any age, shall here
after be allowed to marry or inter
marry in this state if either is COM
mon drunkard, habitual criminal, ep-
ileptic, imbecile, feeble minded per-
son, idiot or insane person or person
who heretofore has been afflicted with
pulmonary tuberculosis in advanced
stages, or contagious veneral diseases.
Before marriage license can be
issued the Judge Of the county court
shall require each applicant to file
in his Office an affidavit of at least
one duly licensed physician, other
than the person seeking license, de-
claring that the contracting parties
have none of the aforementioned af-
flictions, and in addition it is provided
that the male shall show that he is
not afflicted with any contagious We
nereal disease.
A further division adds that an af-
fi6avit shall be made by some cred
table person before any one author
lied to administer oaths that the con-
tracing parties are of age and that
neither is q habitual drunkard.
Any person who is found guilty of
q violation Of this law shall be punish-
ed by fine or by Imprisonment.
Under the conditions there will be
q greater amount of work connected
with the issuance Of the licenses than
there has been before and there is a
possibility that the number issued
during the coming year viii be small
