HUGE PROFITS IN
FEEDING PORKERS
Grin Little, Eleven Year-old Boy,
Realizes Net Profit of $27 on
Two Pigs, Prize Winners
at Exhibit

The sale of the two prize winning
grade pigs exhibited at the Within an
county boys and girls exhibit here
last Saturday by Grin Little, 11-year-
old son of Elmer Little, the we'll
known farmer, proved the climax to
mute but highly interesting story
which proves conclusively that huge
profits are to be secured through the
careful feeding of porkers. Grin be-
came interested in pig club work
last spring, and when a litter of 10
grade pigs was born on the Little
farm April l he asked the privilege
of purchasing two of them so that
he might try his hand at producing
prize winners through careful feed
ing. His father did not care to sell
the boy the pigs, but an agreement
was reached whereby he was to give
the enthusiastic club member two of
the litter and was to receive $1.25
per hundredweight for all feed used.
Grin turned the two pigs in the
orchard and watched them closely,
feeding balanced rations and weigh
ing at frequent intervals to ascertain
the growth of the porkers. The other
members of the pig family were
turned out with the herd in the or
binary way and permitted to root for
their existence Soon the difference
in weight between the boys pigs and
those owned by his father from the
litter began to be noticeable and at
the time of the fair last Saturday
Orin's two porkers weighed in at
23O pounds each, while his fathers
Timed the beams at a scant 100
pounds. showing a difference of 100
pounds of weight per pig, the re-
suit of youthful care and interest.
After cleaning up in the grade pig
division at the exhibit, winning both
first and second places, the boy dis
posed of his two champions, recelV-
ing nine cents per pound, or $4l.4O
for the two pigs. The total cost OF
the feed used in producing the prize
winners, at $1.25 per hundred
weight, was $14. giving the boy a
net profit of over $27 besides the
prize money and the honor attached
to his signal victory.
The boy is enthusiastic over his
highly successful enterprise and
promises next year to produce a
bunch of pigs that will eclipse his
effort of this year.

jury or possible death Wednesday
train from Moscow to ColfaX struck
the front end of the truck he was
driving at the crossing near the Mrs.
Koppel place, just east of Pullman,
throwing him 20 feet into a ditch.
Mr.. Helwig was badly shaken up
and bruised and was brought to Pull
man for medical attention, but an
examination disclosed no broken
bones and he will suffer only tenn
porary ill-effects from his expert
ence. The truck, a Federal, was
badly damaged, the entire front end
being torn off.
While crossing the track TO take
the roundabout road to Pullman
made necessary by the Improvement
work on the regular highway, the
engine in the machine died, with the
front end of the truck just touching

Whitman county. In the entire
county, with four districts not re-
ported, 81 births were recorded,
while the death list was only 81, or
an increase in population Of as
through this means. While the Pull
man city district Is not reported, the
rural district shows six births and
no deaths the best record made by
any district in the county. st. John
and Rosalia show nine births and one
death each, while Lacrosse reported
eight births and one death. Tekoa
shows five births and two deaths,
Endicott five births and no dealha,
Garfield four and three, Thornton
four and none, Palouse three and
three, Pennington and Palous9 rural
three and one, Oakesdale two and
one, and Winona one and none. La
