HOGS MAKE THIS MANS BREAD

In Farm and Preside, the national farm paper, a writer tells why he thinks there are great profits in hogs He relates his experiences as boy and says of his first transaction in hogs:
 "In February, when they were nine months old and weighed 260 pounds apiece, sold them. I got $3.G5 a hun dred for them. Here is the transac- tion itemized:
 Receipts - Sow, $50 pounds e s3.50 cwt., $12.25: six pigs, 1,56O pounds O s3.65 cwt., sl56.94-$69.19.
 "Expenditures-Cost of SOW and pigs, $15: skinned milk, $S; oil meal, s2 corn, 116 bushels O 25c., $29 = S54. Profit, $15.19.
 While the price of corn then was about third of what it is worth now, the present price of hogs is nearly three times as much as I received, so the present proportions of hog and grain prices are the same"

EGG LAYING CONTEST
 REACHES FINAL WEEK,
Preparations Being Made For Opening
 of Next Contest.

 Only one more week remains of the
 fifth laying contest at Storrs. It does
 not now appear that there will be any
 changes in the relative standing of the
 leading pens. On the other hand a good many pens while not at the top
 have made very creditable records and
 some of these are moving up quite a
 few places in the last weeks of the
 contest. In the fifty first week there
 were six pens that did not lay any
 eggs at all; there were thirteen pens that laid seven eggs or less which means only a ten per cent yield where
 as there were seven pens that laid better than 40 per cent. Thus it can be seen that Q group climbs rather
 rapidly when they are able to lay four times as many eggs a week as certain other groups.
 cultural College of Corvallis, Ore, were an easy first for the week with 47 eggs to their credit. They outlaid their nearest competitor by nearly a dozen eggs. O'bed G. Knights White Wyan- dottes from Bridgeton, R. l., came sec
 ond with a yield of 3S. and Tom Bar ron's pen of English White Wyan- dottes were third with a production of 36 eggs Dr. N. W. Sanborn's pen of Buff Wyandottes from Holden, Mass. laid B eggs for the week. The total yield of all pens amounted to 1497
 eggs
 The laying contest will present a very busy scene for two or three days before and after the first of Novem- Der. During this time aIl tht birds in the present competition will be con signed to their owners. They will travel to Canada, England and as far west as the Pacific coast as there are birds going to Calimornia and Ore gOn.
