THE SMITHS REASON

While the village blacksmith tOiled
manfully over the old farmers plow
share, the owner of the share re
counted at some length the wonder
full success he had had with tree lit
ters of pigs he had marketed that
day.
'Them pigs were less than eight
months DID," the farmer ran on,
"and they brought me ten cents a
pound, or a little more than four hun
bred dollars. Why, a few years ago
thise same pigs would have brought
me only half as much. | tell you, the
farmer is having his harvest now"
The smith, having finished sharp
ening the share, handed it to his Gus
toner. From a well-wOrn purse the
farme rtoOk two dimes, the usual
price for the job, and dropped them
into the smiths hand.

the smith, still holding the money in
his Outstretched palm. 81 charge
thirty cents since the first of the
year for sharpening that size plow.
"Why, how now" the farmer ex-
claimed testify. "That's an outrage
Why have you raised the price on
me 2"
ITO buy some of that high-priced
pork you were tellin' me about" was
the smiths calm reply.

24O POUND PIGS


With corn above so cents, hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to get
on full feed never brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regular
ly and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 24O pounds. Figure the av-
erage feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased, we will refund
the cost of the medicine.-Welsh
