Miners 70 rave Warm Meals,

large coal mining company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from 200
to 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one Of the
lowest chambers Of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served in an underground restaurant
at prices barely covering the cost of
the food. 1t has been found that this
not only adds to the comfort of the
men who had hitherto been compelled
to e2t cold food, but It also adds to
their productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount of coal taken
out was noted the first month after the
electric range was installed.

Why It Pays to Raise Thoroughbred
Hogs.

W ndioC tbStOdSHbIC Gu
Hogs.
blanche e. Shaw, Aged 10, Sex,
Girl. Oskaloosa, Iowa.
1t pays to raise thoroughbred hogs
because they are as valuable on the
market as grade hogs and generally
more SO, as they are from sires and
dams that are selected ais being good.
individuals, which gives them super
iority over the grade hog on the pork
market
AS Tor breeding purposes, they are
far more valuable than the grade hog
and when one gets an exceptionally
good hog they often sell for several
times more than the best grade hog
ever does on the market.
By raising pure bred hogs a per-
son is building up their herd, where
by using grade hogs few years they
will degenerate very rapidly. ~>
In breeding pure bred hogs one
should have fixed type in their
mind and should make careful selec-
lions of the breeding stock they use
to bring out or reproduce the type
which they have in view.
1t pays to raise thoroughbred hogs
from an educational standpoint, as a
person becomes interested in the
strong points and constitution of the
hog Of whatever breed they choose
to breed from, thus producing the
kind of hog that will make the most
pork out of the feed that is given
him.
AS | could not get around to visit
some of the pure bred hog raisers,
but | viewed all of the hogs at the
Southern Iowa Fair. Some of the
men who exhibited hogs were:

girl who would write the best essay
upon why 1t pays to raise thorough

says were submitted by interested
boys and girls over the county, and
quite little excitement has existed
over the results and over the judging
of the essays. Each essay received
was commendable, and points for
judging were given upon writing,
spelling, punctuation, neatness and
thought. Judges for the essays were
Miss Mate Morris, Mr. Frank Hook
and DR.. Fl. Killips. The first prize
was the choice between the two hogs
offered, both being Poland China
gifts. Guy Kitchener of Oskaloosa,
aged ~, won first prize, and Miss

Why It Pays to Raise Thoroughbred
r~ HOES

Guy Kitchener, Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Aged 12.)
We all know that the raising of
pigs is one of the best ways to keep
the farmer in ready money. In Ire
land they say that "The pigs is the
Gintlemen that pays the rint."
Land is getting so high priced that
best stock. Grain is also climbing
in price, making it more necessary to
have good stock, SO as to get the
best price for the grain fed.
Where farmers raise herd of
thoroughbred pigs it makes their
farm more attractive, and also inter-
ests the children and helps to keep
the boys on the farm,
Farmers do not agree as to what
breed of hogs is the best, but most
all agree that thoroughbred pig of
any standard breed is better than a
mixture. This has been proved on
our own farm to my satisfaction.
Last year two cross bred pigs were
fec in the Ames contest with gain
Of 437 pounds. While this year two
thoroughbred Poland China pigs were
fed with gain OF 487 pounds in the
same time, on same pasture and
about the same feed.
After seeing W. A. Hoover's hog
farm and hearing the prices he gets
at sales and fairs, am well con.
WINGED that one can't afford to feed
any but Thoroughbred hogs.
