3. Each member must care for his

the feed given and the pasture grazed
He must record the weight of each
pig when II comes into his possession
ana at stated intervals so as TO de-

4. Record blanks which will be
furnished. should be filled out and
certified by two disinterested persons.
8. Each member must rave owned
and kept a record of his pig for at
least four months I'm order to compete
for a prize.
6. The members Of the club must
agree to study the instructions OF the
u. s. department.. Of agriculture.
Z. Each member, must whenever
possible, show at least one pig at the
county exhibit, and the winners at the
county exhibit must show their pigs at
the state fair.
Boys and girls are equally interested

For alfalfa and corn growing an

The production of corn In our state
Is still largely mythical. Our. grop

where the altitude is not SO great and
the seasons longer may make the

the Lalumondier children and they hope

Some corn grown on the Schorzman
farm at Cold Creek was such az any
farmer might feel proud of.
The poultry club provides for two
exhibits-A and 3 exhibits.
A has In 1t opportunity for origin

lines. Each member is to procure a
hen and a setting of eggs. The hen
may be set and the chickens Matched
sold for ten cent seach, another set

reset. The eggs may be sold and
the money from the sale invested In
garden seeds or apron material or in
gradients for candy or some article of
food. The object is to turn the mon

management are to be told i'm an
