In North Dakota We have two dia

crop adaptation. The eastern part o
the state, and more especially tn
Red River Valley, has . relativel!
fine textured soil and a slightly high
er rainfall than the western part Of
the state. The soils of the western
part Of the state do not contain AZ
much organic matter and in general
are a little coarser In texture than
those of the extreme eastern part Of

when the alfalfa hay is fed can be
applied to the fields on which alfalfa

Q.-How shall we grow hogs IN
North Dakota?
Ans-W B. Richards, professor OF
animal husbandry.
There are many factors which en-
ter into the economical production Of
hogs in this state as we'll as othera
The selection of the breeding stock,
care Of the pregnant SOW, the atten.
ton given at narrowing time, and the
general system Of feeding are all fac
tors that must be considered. The
system of growing and feeding the
pigs Is probably the one of the fac
tors Of greatest Importance under our
conditions. The pigs should be grown
on forage crops supplemented with
gain through the greater portion Of
the growing season. Rye, rape or a
mixture Of oats, peas and raps, make
= good pasture for pigs. The rye
should be usec for early pasture, and
fields Of the other crops should be
ready when the rye passes ito pasture
sGage. There is NO better pasture TO,
Dlgs than alfalfa for an oil summer
sssture. The acreage Of alfalfa d
votsa to hog pasture, however, should
be large enough so they will not eat
1t too close. The surplus growth can
be cut for hay II there should be any.
One-half Of field should be sown to
field peas and the other half to a
small flint variety of corn to be hog
ged OF after September IL. This will
save feeding much marketable grain

Answer: B. H. Critchfield, secretary

The per cent. of stations of pure

66.6 not pure bred. This 10 slight

Of pure bred stations compared with

WHY WE BUY AT HOME

rTNHE following reasons should an
swer adequately the many who
a. question the value of the home
purchase against the purchase
through mail order houses. To these
questioners we would say that we buy
at home:
Because our interests are here.
Because the community that is good
enough for US to live in is good enough
for US to buy in.
Because we believe in transacting
business with our friends.
Because we want to see the goods
we are buying.
Because we want to get what we
buy when we pay for it.
Because our home merchant will
take care of US when we run short Of
cash.
Because some part of every dollar
we spend at home stays at home and
helps work for the welfare of the town
and the county.
Because the home merchant we buy
from stands back of his goods, thus
always giving value received.
Because the merchant we buy from
pays his share of the county and town
taxes,
Because the merchant we buy from
helps support our poor and needy, oul
schools, our churches, our lodges anc
homes.
