PIGS PAVE CENTE A MINUTE

With the returns amounting to s.
cents a minute for the time spent, A.
J. Mcclure of University Farm, ST.
Paul found that raising 100 pigs every
year was the most profitable work the
men did on his farm last year. The
pigs were raised, figures completed at
the end of the year show, with one
hours time day. At the prices for
pigs now, the returns this year on this
365 hours time was nearly So an hour.
The reduction Of work to a mini
mum is a method that the MCGUIRE
farm uses to increase the return on
the labor. The pigs collect their own
feed in the spring and summer from
rape and alfalfa fields and in the fall
they gather the feed to prepare them
for, market by hogging down a field
of fifteen acres of corn. Eight acres
of rape and alfalfa keep the pigs and
the brood sows in the summer, fur
nishing in fair season all the feed
they will eat. In September the pigs
are turned into fifteen acre field
of corn, beside which is a four-acre
rape field. The sows that are to be.
kept over during the winter are left
to clean up the waste after the pigs
are marketed. Mr.. Mcclure finds that
letting the pigs do their own work is,
just as satisfactory and economical
and much more profitable. He even,
!, IS the winter quarters so that
as little attention as possible NAV be
required by the sows. Straw sheds
make good shelters for them and the
% feed hovnc are placed
as near the sheds as possible

To the Editor: 1t must be apparent

that there is growing, feverish in

men in all the nations are voicing the
sentiment. Churchmen are WORKING

work of establishing the propose

On the face Of it, such propositions
seem good. It is not surprising thai

Mrs. Martha Jane Sutton.

Mrs. Martha Jane Sutton, better
known in Sank Centre as Grandma
Sutton" died at the home of he1
daughter, Mrs. F. Clark, of Minneap
oils on Sunday, Jan. q, 1917. The
was brief service in Minneapolis, af
ter which the remains were brought
to Sank Centre for burial. The fun,
eral was held from the home of h
son, A. V. Sutton, Wednesday after,
noon. The Rev. C. S. Sparkes hsS
charge of the services and talked i
a manner that brought much con1fort
to those who grieved most. His text
was from Mark 4:35, "-and when
even was come, He said unto them
Let US pass over unto the other side.
From this Mr.. Sparkes drew pic
ture of Mrs. Sutton's life to the close
when the Master called her to come
unto the other side. &.

Clara Carr, P. Winslade and V. G.

Martha Jane Axtell was born at
Mendham, N. j., Sept. %, 1886. On
Oct. 20, 1857, she was married to Dan
iel S. Sutton. There were five child
rem born to them, all of whom sur
vive: Mrs. w. F. Clark, w. A. and
Harvey of Minneapolis; L. w. and A.
V. Sutton of Sank Centre. There are
five grandchildren and three great
grandchildren. All her children were
at the funeral with the exception of
w. A. Sutton. Her husband died In
1894.

and penalties a practice that is the
one sore spot in every potato raising
section and wipes out an evil that
has long been a detriment to the sue
cessful and increased acreage of pota
toes in Minnesota. By it's terms any
firm, person or,co-partnership engaged
in the buying Of potatoes is forbidden
to discriminate between sections and
localities by purchasing such potatoes
at higher price in one locality than
is paid for such in another. With
the growing increase of potato acre
age in the state has come the division
Of the potato territory into buying dis
tricts, with territory allotments to
those in on the combination. Where
outside buyers interfered their activ-
tiles have been suppressed by conse-
quent raise in price by the combine,
to be then followed by the usual drop
in the figure fixed by the combine on
their retirement. Naturally the grower
has suffered. Representing one Of the
biggest potato growing sections in
Minnesota Senator Bloomgren is not
without knowledge of these buyers
who prey upon the growers of his
community and if there is any way
of putting the crowd out of business
he is going to find it.
The legalizing of the practice of
chiropody in the state, unsuccessful
attempts at which were made as far
back as 1908, is again on the lists.
Representative G. H. Moeller Of st.
Paul will attempt to put it over. Sew
eral years ago this particular measure
came near being the basis of nasty
scandal, but trouble was averted a
the last moment by its defeat. That
those engaged in the practice of CHR
opody should receive some recognition
is generally agreed, but an attempt at
such has been vigorously and success
fully combatted to date by the regular
medical forces.
The use of the bible in the public
schools is being agitated, but the
house committee on education, which
has been asked to sanction the move
ment, has decided to keep it's hands
off. A bill calling for such is being
prepared and and will be introduced
shortly in both branches of the legis-
lature. That it will ever get by is
hardly likely, as the state legal de-
partment long ago ruled that the con-
situation forbade it.
AS one of the "outs" in the recent
speakership fight, Representative
Ralph Crane of Mower county will en-
deavor to have the next speaker of the
house named by the people instead Of
being chosen by the legislators them
selves. He has introduced a bill tc
that end. The speaker Of the house
of representatives is elected in some
states, but there is nothing to show
that it is an advantage. While the pre-
siding officer names the committees.
still he is at the mercy Of the mem
bers and can be shorn of his power
whenever they viii it.
A public utilities commission act is
in the making and will likely be intro
duced in both hopsns IN the near flu

wETTEsr PLACE IN THE WORLD

1T IL n remarkable fact that In
India, one Of the most arid countries
In the world, there Ia one spot that
has the record rainfall of the whole
EARTH" said DR.. william Roberts,
British agricultural expert In India,
to correspondent OF the Washing
ton Post. This place Is Cheapunji,
In Assam. 1t is in the path Of the
monsoon and In n valley and there
Is almost constant rainfall.
"The average rainfall is 600 inches
a year, or fifty feet, which is nearly
a foot week. This seems almost
beyond comprehension when It is
considered that the rainfall Of the
United States, for instance, ranges
from sixteen inches to thirty-fve
inches. In some places there have
been as high at sixty-five inches of
water in a year, but this is the ex-
ception.
During the rainy season in Chera-
there is rain throughout the year. Not
withstanding this terrific moisture the
Inhabitants of the district raise veg
ctables and grain. They do this by
building terraces which carry off the
water"

STATEMENT by THE SECRETARY
OF WAR

The Cavalry, engineers, coast ar
tillery, signal corps and quartermas-
ter corps of the Regular Army have
already been brought to war strength.
$4,000 additional recruits are needed
at once to complete the new regiments
of infantry and field artillery.
$4,000 additional recruits are de-
sired at the earliest practicable date
to fill vacancies in order that the war
strength of 100000 men may be main
tanned.
Facilities are in readiness for plac-
ing these 10000 men under proper
training.
Any delay in obtaining this num-
Der will necessarily cause the loss OF
invaluable time.
1t is the earnest desire of the War
Department that 10000 single men be-
tween the ages of IS and 40, who have
no dependents and who are not en-
gagged in professions, business, or
trades vitality necessary to the prose-
cution Of the war, be enlisted in the
Regular Army before the Goth of

Petrograd, June 90 Martial law
has been proclaimed in Tomsk, West

ders and robberies committed by GRIM
inals who had been granted amnesty
and had joined the forces Of the mill

these pardoned criminals have been
arrested with about 800 others. Twen-
ty persons were killed and a number
wounded.
The arrests followed the exposure
of a plot of plumber all the banks

associates of the criminals were drag
ged from the haunts of the latter. The
casualties occurred when some resist
