EXTRA AGAIN POSSES
S0R GOOD BALL GAME

Another good clean cut game was
played on our diamond Sunday.
Audubon versus Extra furnished
the sport that all lovers Of the
game enjoy. OF course, there We're
bursts of enthusiasm occasionally,
but no raging such as was noticed
two Or three weeks ago when we
tried to entertain Elk Horn.
For part we are trying to live
the disgraceful game down.
The game last week played with
the Atlantic Imperials was certain
ly a fine game and they took the
cake. The score stood Atlantic 8
Extra s.
The game last Sunday was play
ed under the same aristocratic rules
of the week before and while both
sides were enthusiastic for their
side nothing insulting OR even Of
fensive was spoken. The score stood
Extra 9 Audubon s. Come again At
lantic and Audubon. Your clubs are
worthy to contest in the City Beaut-
iful.

TWO AUTO COLLISIONS
SUNDAY LAS 7

Two aut utomobiles met at a corner
east of town near the residence OF
Joe Navratel, Sunday last, when
Arthur Van Aernams and Tom God
wins machines crashed into each
other before either realized what
had happened.
The blame, or rather the public
report, that gees in such cases,
without inquiry, say that one of the
other was on the wrong side of the
road. Which ONE we are unable to
say. The fact remains however, that
both machines are badly wrecked.
The second collision occurred near
Audubon, with Father Myers new
machine and John Eberts Ford. or
the Ford it is said that it was
gathered up in a basket; but when
it is remembered that 1.-TWO toma-
toe cams and board will make a
Ford" Mr.. Ebert will soon be the
possessor of a new car-if this is
true.

A NEAR ACCIDENT ON
THE HIGHWAY

While Mr.. Shomp Bintner was
coming to town recently in his au
to, he saw another machine in the
distance, coming toward him. 1t
seemed to approach at a reckless
rate so Shomp slowed down and
watch for results.
He knew that any one driving at
that rate, unless am expert at the
wheel, could not avoid collision,
and perhaps funeral. So acting
quickly, Shomp sheered his car
out of the road not wishing to take
the risk of either and into the
weeds just in time to see Father
Myers Whiz past at fifty mile
clip.
Shomp said if Father Myers had
hit him, both cars and their occu-
pants would have to be- gathered UP
in a basket.
Exceeding the speed limit ON high.
ways is as unlawful as in town and
should mot be indulged in.

E5HRM BOYS
C0RNeR
THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW

We were discussing last week the
Improvement in methods of feeding
pigs that has been made in Iowa
within the past few years.
Let us compare the old way and
the new, taking note at the same
time of the difference in the re-
suits.
The old way was to keep the pigs
in a dry lot, feeding them corn and
perhaps skim milk Or some kind of
slop from the time they were wean-
ed until ready for market. Some
times they received no milk or slop
but only corn and water.
What We're the results from this
old-fashioned method of feeding.
If the pigs only received corn and
water. the amount OF corn required
to produce a 240-pound hog was
about thirty bushels or perhaps
even more than this; but if Skim
milk or slop containing wheat
shorts or middlings, OR oil meal,
was used, the results We're some
what better. In these cases, the
average amount of corn required
to bring pig to weight of l240
pounds was around twenty-four
bushels.
The great difference between
the old way and the new way Of
bringing up pigs lies in the fact
that we have learned or are learn
ing how to secure a big part of
the gains not on corn, which is ex-
pensive, but On certain pasture
crops, which are cheap There ara
now many thousands of Iowa farm
ersl who not only provide pasture
for their pigs but consider that
pasture used in this way is really
the most profitable crop that they
ra Sc on their farms.
L heir belief seems to be warrant
ed when We study the average re-
suits OF these men. They are pro-
NoSiuS pOuio AiOSS Ou tulrlS6u
to- fifteen bushels of corn. They use
also skim milk or perhaps a slop
containing tankage, but no more of
these than We're used under the old
method; and so we may say that
the pasture has taken the place of
from nine to eleven bushels OF corn
with each hog. About fifteen pigs
are kept as rule on each acre. If
we count the saving of corn to be
eight bushels ON each one, an acre
of pasture saves about 120 BUSH
els of corn; and this is just about
Wha. good pasture for pigs is do-
ing for Iowa farmers at present.
Blue grass does not produce so
much pork as do some other pasture
crops. Alfalfa is giving the best re-
suits, then rape, and red clover and
red clover and sweet clover seem
to be about tie for third place.
In the above, we Lave considered
general methods and average results
Next week We shall take up the
one special method of feeding pigs
that is now giving the best results
