lpy. One winter he began feeding thu
hogs cooked feed while warm (not
hot) and killed A fat ones in AZ
hours. He found that filing then
up on warm feed heats the hog like
warm mush does a person. They re
turn to the hog house and lie dowf
together as hogs will in a pack. They
become warm and sweaty, go OH,
into the cold and become chilled
take pneumonia and die quickly like
q fat person with pneumonia. Mr.
Cannon has ia hogs now and re-
Gently sold 80 for $500. He has IL
acres of corn and IL acres of peas
and oats mixed, all of which Is tc
be harvested by the hogs. They dc
a good job of harvesting, do not over
eat nor waste it, charge no wages
wear out no machinery, use no sacks
nor Irvine, wait on themselves and
never fuss about the hours. The
hired man and the hired girl can
60 to as many dances a week as they
want to and it is all right with the
hogs-they will get theirs. "
Is Loser If He Wins
Karl HunZeker, who bought the
Sickert place, has suit in court
with Chalmers and Heimerdinger
who have filed on some of his al
falfa meadow and claimed last year 6
hay on both riparian and decided
lands. Karl has to bear the expense
and annoyance of a defense in court
and if he wins he has no way to
get back his money and time lost in
defending. Karl feels the loss and
annoyance keenly. He said it kept
his hay crop tied up by an injunc-
ton last winter when snow was deep
and the demand for hay was good.
When spring came he got it released.
A Difference in Hogs
In the spring of 1913, l.. H. Fink,
of Riverside, shipped in three pure
bred Poland Chinas for breeding and
has since sold considerable Increase
and has a dozen stock hogs and SO
pigs. They have orders booked for
a number of pigs at $40 each at
weaving time and many choice ones
to sell yet. There was a time when
Mr.. Fink raised just any kind of
hogs anything that would eat the
slops," and he rode to town in a
lumber wagon or on blaze-faced
cayuse. Since he developed the herd
of Poland Chinas he rides in big
Overland car with a self-starter and
electric lights.
He Stuck to Cattle
John Hutchinson, one of the old
residents of Riverside, who has given
considerable attention to raising cat
tie and potatoes, is working this
summer for cow outfit on Birch
creek near Reno.
A Ripe Old Age
s. F. Adams and wife, early set
tiers of Riverside and perhaps the
most beloved and most respected of
all the early settlers, still occupy the
old homestead and their son Roy
operates the farm. Roy is married
and has house on the old farm.
Uncle Rary" is in his eighty-third
year.
Something of a Builder
Nels Rasmussen has a barn 3Ox5O
feet in size with hay NOV capacity
of 40 or SO tons. He built it him
self at a cost of $500 for materials.
He has sunk we'll and is planning
to build new house by it. 1t is
the old Dick Watson place. Mr. Ras-
has some well bred horses.
Governor Appointed Him
H. H. Koplin, who lives south of
the Dick Watson place, has been ap-
pointed by Governor Alexander to go
as delegate to the good roads con-
vention at Ogden, June 10 and ID.
Mr.. koplin had fire last fall that
burned his stables and machinery
He is raising Poland China hogs and
has IS now.
Has the Finest Hogs
Ralph Johnson lives on the Pal
ner place in Riverside and raises
pure bred Poland Chinas. He got
lis start from Lythe at Oskaloosa,
Iowa, and from P. w. Powers at his
Pingree farm. Perhaps the most per-
feet specimen of SOW in the. county
IS one he bought of Mr.. Powers and
IS now three years old, weighing as
much as Jersey COW. Mr.. Johnson
zane here from California and UNI
1ertook farming without any pre-
1ious knowledge of the work. Hell
quilt good barn and number of |
'ther buildings on his place, devoted |
lis time to grading and otherwise |
the place, and is now TAX
ng off money at intervals in sales
# hogs and cattle. He has some
leifers out in the summer herd. Mr..
Johnson plans to have considerable
milking to do all winter, affording
much feed for his hogs, unloads the
took in the spring and has the sum-
ner for raising next winters feed.
