MADE HIS STANDING RIGHT
Feat Of Rolling Cigarette Convinced
Cowboys That the Visitor Was

An ex-governor OF Wyoming was

one hand along your leg in the teeth of
a high wind used to be accepted in
Wyoming as sure proof YOU were no
tenderfoot," he said. b

cowboy. After had been on the
roundup for couple OF years went
one day to a cattle town In another
part OF the state. I walked into a
small saloon-just little shack on the
prairie-when there was regular gale
on. | walked up to the bar and was
stared at with some contempt and un.
friendliness, by several cowboys lined
UP there. I looked mighty young and
inexperienced, and / guess they
thought was an eastern tenderfoot,
and an eastern tenderfoot was not
overpopular In those days.
Set 'em up for the house, l said.
'What'll you all have"
THE cowboys kind OF snarled at me.
1 saw tney weren't friendly to q sup
posed tenderfoot. SO l said. Excuse
me minute With that pulled out
my seek OF tobacco and my cigarette
papers and l started for the door.
Where are you going?' said the
bartender.
To roll a cigarette said I. Il
can't roll one out of the wind
held the door open with one hand
and the gale pretty nearly blew the
place down, and with the other rolled
my cigarette along my leg in q twin
king and In the most scientific style.
Then went back to the bar.
The cowboys, who had stared in ST.
lence, broke out laughing.

al are together. The purpose of the
feeder is to supply them with all the
feed they can eat with as lite waste
as possible. Like boys and girls, pigs
get hungry between meals if fed but
twice day, and are better off for
having something to eat oftener and
not so much at.time.
"Pigs gain more economically when
fed with self-feeders because their
stomachs are working all the time,
making feed into meat. Feeding is
likewise done with less labor than
when done by hand. If the feeders
are filled up once week not much is
required in the way of attention, and
feeding is not neglected by delays and
accidents in other work. If but one
or two pigs in the lot it is generally
better to feed by hand, but they may
be fed three or four times day. Re-
member it is pigs business to make
a hog of himself, and it is yours to
help him do it quickly.

"a Pigs Chief Business Is
To Make a Hog of Himself. "

"a pigs chief business is to make a
hog of himself" is Professor Sam
sons way of answering the query,
"Why is pig" in his circular to the
Oregon school boys who enter the pig
raising contest.
In his very evident desire to attend
strictly to his business, the pig should
have every encouragement. The own
er is especially anxious that he shall
succeed at the earliest possible mo-
ment, since the most profit comes in
quick growth and early sale.
"Pigs should make a profit above
their keep" continues Mr.. Samson.
"They are the most economical meat
producers we have. They make more
meat from a given quantity of grain
than any other farm animals. A pig
will produce pound of gain for every
four and half pounds of grain, while

sheep require six pounds of grain for
one Of gain, and cattle require ten
pounds of grain for one of gain.
"To get the pig up to one hundred
pounds of weight in such condition
that he will put on gains rapidly and
cheaply up to two hundred pounds, is
the problem of the owner, whether
farmer or school boy. At that weight
the pig will dress the highest per-
centage of good meat and bring top
prices on the market.

chiefly growing and maintaining Wig

ture IL possible, and given plenty of

upon the kind of pasture that he gets.
For pasture, clover or alfalfa Is first
choice; then comes rape, oats, vetch

pastures the pig should get about one
pound Of grain for each fifty pounds of

"a very good daily gain for pigs

feeders or three or four times a day
they often gain two or more pounds a

rate of grain should be regulated by
