How Dr." Brooks Received His Degree

A Seattle dispatch of July 29 states that Dr. Alfred H. Brooks head of the Alaska division of the United States Geological Survey, is in that city on his way North, on his nineteenth annual tour of Alaska At banquet given in his honor the geologist told those present that he had never re- ceived degree of 'doctor' from any univer- sity. He said it was "rairoad degree conferred upon him by the sourdoughs of the Yukon" Gradually few of his friends called him doctor" in the early days, Sc attle took it up next, and finally it got back to Washington and all over the coun- try, until today all the official reports of the government refer to him as "Dr." Brooks. In remarking on it, Dr. Broops said that he prized the degree more than if it had been conferred upon him by all the universities of the East Dr. Brooks will spend some time at Chicagoff islands before proceeding to any other part of Alaska.

HOG-RA|S|NG HINTS
Disadvantages Of Low Market
May be Overcome by Timely
Breeding and Good Care.

The low prices received for hogs dur
ing the past year have been discourage
ing to some of the hog raisers of the
country. The hog should be a paying
animal. He requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital, makes greater
gains on 100 pounds of concentrates, re-
produces himself faster and in greater
numbers, and returns the money faster
than any other farm animal. The fact
remains, however, that prices paid for
hogs are low and discouraging In
spite of these prices the animal that
possesses the above advantages can still
lif; mortgages for his owner if the latter
will study and apply some of the funda-
mental principles underlying the bust
ness.
To begin with, the best can be made
of poor market by having the hogs
ready at the time when they are most
wanted by that market. This normally
occurs during the spring and again dur
ing early fall. The September and Oc-
tober market is usually the highest.
How can the farmer take advantage of
these facts to the greatest degreea In
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1916-02-23
Keep 1t In Mind
v. G. Babbage,
Notary Public

the first place, the hog wanted by the
market usually runs between IT'S and
225 pounds. Fortunately this is the
most economical weight at which to dis
pose of the hog. Up to this point his
gains are made very cheaply. Beyond
900 pounds it is doubtful if under gen.
eral conditions feeding can be made a
profitable business. The hog, if prop
erly fed, can readily be put upon the
market at 200 pounds in six or seven
months. Therefore have the pigs for the
September market dropped in the latter
part of February or during March. This
will require that the breeding of the
sows begin about the latter part of Octo-
Der or November first, continuing, if
necessary, during the first week in De-
cember The pigs for the April market
should be dropped in early September.
These pigs can then be weaned before
the November breeding season starts.
To have the pigs dropped in September
it will be necessary to breed the sows
during May or early June. Under GER
tain conditions it may be impossible to
bring hogs to the 20o-pound mark at six
months; however, great effort should
be made to attain this goal, as time
means money, and the longer hogs are
