CURING MEAT FOR HOME USE
One Of Essentials for Good Meat Is
Properly Designed Smokehouse-
IL Should BE Fireproof.

Why pay 25 cents pound for
smoked meats when you can smoke
it for nothing with a little hickory
or maple wood or a few cobs? Not
many years ago when most farmers
knew how to butcher and cure meats
few of them we're without a smoke
house and a meat storing room Of
some kind, writes Leah Ruth Lippin-
colt in Farmers Mail and Breeze. The
development of the centralized plant
or packing house has caused a great
majority of our farmers to lose the art
of home curing. 1t will be profitable,
with the present high prices of cured
meat and market values of live stock
to cure meat for home use or even the
local trade.
A properly designed smokehouse is
one of the essentials for good meat.

GIVE EWES ATTENTION
Too Much Importance Cannot Be
Placed on Feeding.
Late Summer is Trying Time on

hesh-forming condition. It is a seri.
GUS mistake to have the breeding ewes
In poor, rundown and unthrifty con.
dition at mating time.
The late summer is a very trying
time on the breeding ewes; and un-
less a man maintains the flock in
strong, vigorous condition, deleterious
influences are bound to creep in and
cut down the annual profits. 1t is
very desirable at weaving time to

ewes may be able to recover their
normal condition gradually and be
ready to be mated as soon as the mat
ing period arrives.
The ewes that produce the best
lambs at weaving time are usually the
best breeders in the flock and should
be given the best food and care.
Right here many flock owners make
a mistake by disposing of the ewes
that show lack of condition before
the mating season arrives.
Ewes that have sucked their lambs
well during the summer are sure to
be reduced in flesh at weaving time.
and every effort should be made to
bring them to strong, vigorous con-
dition before the mating season ar

The safest way to judge the value
of breeding eve is to examine the
quality of the lambs at weaving time.
In nine cases out of ten we shall find
that the best lambs belong to the in
dividuals which are run down in flesh
and show a lack of condition when
weaving time comes.
Many make mistake by feeding
the ewes a ration of at-producing

Championship

show a record superior to any other
college eleven in the East
How simple it would be-and how
satisfying to the lover of the gridiron
game-if the big elevens in the East
did form a league, battle largely
among themselves, as they do in the
West. and conclusively settle the
championship each year.
The western conference consists of
nine colleges: Illinois, Chicago, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State, Pur-
due, Indiana and Northwestern. Most
of the teams play each other every
year-and the championship problem
is made easy in solution. Last year
Illinois won the championship-won it
undisputably. Chicagos record was
next best and Chicago got second
place. The ranking order of the other
teams is as they read at the top of

EXPERIMENT WITH HOG FEED
Relative Value of Potatoes and Corn

The relative value of potatoes and
corn as feed for hogs, obtained in a
test at the Wisconsin station, is given
as follows:
Four hundred pounds cornmeal fed
alone produced 100 pounds gain; 262
pounds cornmeal with 7S6 pounds of
potatoes, weighed before cooking. pro-
duced the same number Of pounds
gain.
Professor Henry who conducted the
experiments, says: From this we
learn that 7S6 pounds of potatoes
when fed to pigs after being cooked.
effected a saving of IT'S pounds Of
cornmeal, 442 pounds of potatoes TAX
ing the place of 100 pounds of corn
meal"
Professor Henry in his book Feeds
and Feeding" also says that the Cop
enhagen station found 400 pounds OF
cooked potatoes equal to 100 pounds
OF mixed grains for swine. Since
corn has somewhat higher feeding
value thansthe grains used in this test.
it is fair to say that As bushels go

ing, are equal to one bushel (5e
pounds) of cory IN feeding pigs.

CHAMPION IN DEMAND
Three Years Ago Jess Willard
Was Almost Down and Out.
But Now Things Are Considerably
oifferent-Fiehter Faces POSSIBLE
ity of Becoming immensely
Wealthy in Short Time.

Fate plays peculiar pranks with
some individuals. Take the case of
Jess Willard. that mammoth cluster
OF bone ami muscle, VINO now has the
attention Of a great portion of the
world centered upon him.
Three years ago Willard was a rud-
derless bark on the pugiIistic sea.
Even then he was a fighter, but oddly
he was the only one who acknowl-
edged the fact. He had no manager.
Promoters frequently like to deal with
huge bulks of humanity, but in their
dealings they adopt the Missouri at.
titude and insist that the hulk must
show something more than a gigantic
frame. Willard had nothing more
than the frame to recommend him and
promoters steered clear of him.
He drifted into Buffalo, virtually
broke. A few simoleons separated
him from the necessity of making an
attack on free-unch counters to keep
his huge body filed out. Attempts to
get bouts merely drew a shake of the
head. Wizards size rendered him inn
mune from receiving the merry "ha
ha.
Danny Dunn, who was in Buffalo at
tho time, took Jess in tow and led him
to the house where Dan was boarding.

A veteran farmer used to say that

except in extreme cases.
During the late summer and early
autumn the flock owner should not de-
pend too much upon natural pasture.
At this time of year it is impossible
to produce good pasture of any kind
unless preparations have been made
early in the season by sowing forags

and the addition of very little grain
