MAKING SUCCESS WITH PIGS
To Secure Thrifty Young Animals
Sunshine Exercise and Yard to
Run in Are Essential.

The best thing for the young pigs
is TO get them out on the ground and
in the sunshine. 1t is almost i'm
possible to secure thrifty young pigs
unless they have sunshine, exercise
and yard to run in.
The businss of breeding pure-bred
swine is business by itself and 1t
should not be undertaken by anyone
who cannot keep records straight and
who is not willing TO invest good
money for improved blood.
The most conservative course is to
select the breed most popular in your
vicinity and improve upon the COM
mon individuals by the use of inn
proved breeding bOars.
A large proportion of the growth
obtained while the pig is less than
five months of age costs but little act
ual money and to make the business
profitable it Is essential that we secure
the most gain possible during the first
few months of the pigs life.

Fish Farming.

That fish can be raised as a profit
able farm crop is the belief of the
state College of Agriculture at Cor
nell. The college authorities are plan
ming to add to their present fish hatch
cry series of ponds In which the fish
may be kept and reared 10 maturity
under known conditions. Up TO the
present time there has been scarcely
any scientific fish raising. and most OF
the hatcheries are raising FRY" and
turning them loose in the streams TO
shift for themselves. The only places
where trout are raised 10 any extent
are on commercial farms, and even
there the process has not been stand
erdized nor has the problem received
the study necessary to place fish rails
Ing on practical basis. The ques-
ton of the best fish foods and how to
provide them. the selection of breeding
stock and the best methods of fish pond
management have been neglected. and
1t is these questions that the college
hopes to solve.

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me q small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted of with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
q moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating tho
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov.
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr. G. Lacy, late OF
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came TO Canada from Wis

summer following. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, Of Brooks, Alberta,
says:

FEW Fertilizer HINTS
Facts Summarized From Fifteen
Years Experiments.
High Yields Can Be Insured by Using
Large Amounts Of Readily Avail
able Plant Food, But Method
10 Expensive.
(By ROBERT SALTER)

The following fertilizer facts are
summarized from 10 years expert
ments at the West Virginia agricul-
tural experiment station, on soil
having need of two tons of limestone
per acre and containing the following
number of pounds OF plant food ma
terials per acre to pillow depth:
Nitrogen, 1000 pounds.
Phosphoric acid, 100 pounds.
Potash, 10000 pounds.
i. Every ton of manure applied
alone has produced an increased value
at $312.
2. Every dollars worth of acid phOs-
plate applied alone has given an av-
erage of S4.63 worth of increase.
3. Nitrate of soda, sulphate of pot
ash and acid phosphate applied in
combination have given three times as
much increase per acre as acid phos-
plate alone, and 1892 for every dollar
invested.
4. The use of lime alone has not
given sufficient Increase to pay for the
cost of application; but every dollar
Invested in lime and applied in con-
nection with complete fertilizer has
given an increase valued at $1.35. In
1915 the yield of clover was doubled
on the Lined plots as compared to
that on the plots receiving no lime.
D. Under the system of farming
practiced in this experiment, complete
fertilizers would be much more desir-
able than acid phosphate alone; but
this is not an ideal farming system
for the economic maintenance Of fer
tility. No green crops have been
plowed under, no manure has been
applied to the fertilizer plots, and
only three legumes have been grown
in 10 years.
Economy in fertilizer practice re-
quires that we plan for several years
in advance. High yields can be in
sured by using large amounts of read-
lily available plant food each year.
This method is expensive. The same
results can be more economically at
tanned by gradually building up the
stock of phosphorus, organic matter
and lime in soil until the plant food
that becomes available each year
through natural processes is sufficient
for maximum crops.

SHORT HOURS GIVEN HORSES
Animal Has Three-Hour Day, Accord
ing TO Minnesota investigation
Keep Brood Mares.

The horse has three-hour day ac-
cording To Minnesota investigation
carried on under the direction of
Thomas Cooper. now the director Of
the North Dakota experiment station
IL VAS found that a farm horse aver
aged about 1000 hours labor per year
or about three hours per day. Ii was
also found that the cost of malnte-
nance for the horse was $50 per year
This emphasizes the need Of watching
closely ~ see that too many horses
are not kept Ii also emphasizes the
need of keeping brood mares and
raising colts, So rs e. get more re-
turns from the work horses than che
three hours of labor per day.

STRIVE FOR LARGER GARDEN
Vegetables Will Be in Better Demand
Next Season, Both for Family
Table and Market.

Every farmer should make his plans
for large garden next year. Unless
your garden has been large enough TO
supply your home with an abundance
of vegetables even in very dry seasons
it would pay you to enlarge
Next year will be the time to en-
large if you have planned to have a
larger and better garden. 1t now
seems that vegetables will be in de-
mand both for the family table and for
the local market.
1t is far better to have fresh vege-
tables TO spare for the market or for
canning, putting away, etc, than to
fail 70 produce enough. Make your
plans large and then carry them out.
Better living should be our object
next year. A better garden will help
make IL possible.

MANURE Is GREATLY NEEDED
Average Farmer Could Utilize Much
More Fertilizer Than Is Saved
Enrich Thin Places.

Manure is greatly needed on most
farms. The average farmer could use
II great deal more barnyard manure
than Is saved on his farm.
The time has come for more TO be
produced. More animals should be
kept TO consume the crops aud better
facilities should be provided To save
the manure that is voldel.
Not only should the garden and the
orchard save manure. but the thin
places on the farm should be- enriched.
by doing this the yield of leading crops
may be Increased and In few years
the farm will pay better.

FIXING HOME GUARD
ORGANIZING THE STATE BODIES
AND APPOINTING OFFICERS
APPOINTMENTS LATER.

Jas. Robertson returned last night
after several days visit at Mitchell,
in attendance at the convention of
representatives of the recently or
ganized home guard, upon call of the
state organization of the council for
defense. There was a large number
of men present interested in the
trained and organized movement for
internal state protection. The delib-
e~rations and conclusions of the meet
ing are to be announced later.
The state was divided into dis
tricts, and the districts with their
companies were whipped into regi-
ment and battalion order and assign
ment. There are three districts in
the state, one north of the North
western railway and east of the river,
another south If that line and east of
the river, and the Black Hills dis
trict.
Adjt. Gen. Morris is acting as adj
jutant general of the organization,
and such elections as were to be
made were left to his discretion and
selection in order to facilitate the APP
pointments and to save time. He has
not yet announced his appointments.
