E, 18th F. A.
Have heard that you have ice and
snow in Kandiyohi county. Well
here's where we are better off than
you people. We have had cold spells
but they only last day or so, and
then the sun comes out hot. I have
become sweaty just while grooming
my horse the past few days. The
weather is very changeable. One day
it will be cold and the next, hot.
Oscar Swens0n was. over to see me
last night. You know l have looked
several times for HALEY Styles Over
in LIST and 5th Mo. Inf. Camp but
could not locate him. Oscar told me
he was in the 9TH Mo. so am going
over to see him tonight. That makes
four of us here from Willmar. It is
real nice when we can get together
and talk over old times, when we were
civies in dear old Willmar. We are
all keeping we'll and doing we'll.
Have not been doing much lately
V. c., our battery goes out for equita
ton in the forenoon and battery drill
in the afternoon. I do not go in the
afternoons, as buglers must attend
bugler's school for two hours.
We fired all last week but are laying
loft this week. Start again next week
tho. I think I shall stick to my job
as a bugler.
Expect to get furlough pretty
soon. All we get here is a twelve day
one. That helps tho. l certainly will
be glad to see you all again. It seems
five years instead of seven months
since I left.
The Second Battalion Of the 9Th r
A: leaves here for Georgia to join the
First Battalion. Oscar Swenson is ii
E of the 9Th Sec. Bait. and so I sup
pose you know we will soon lose him
Chester Galliford is still with me
He has been with me since leavine

Raised at Profit on Alfalfa and Grain
Ration Without Corn.
A shipment of 80 hogs from the
University Farm School herd to the
South St. Paul market was the sub
ject of feature article in the St. Paul
Live Stock Reporter recently. This
shipment of hogs topped the market
by zoe and made the highest price Of
any shipment on the market last Mon.
day. There was a run of 10000 hogs,
one of the heaviest days for some time
past which brought this shipment to
the attention of hog raisers all over
the entire state. The top price for
hogs on Monday was $16.55 and this
shipment brought $1675 or zoe over
the top price. The consignment was
made up of 80 spring pigs, narrowed

of gain per day since birth and have
made very substantial margin Of pro.

hogs can be grown in this part of Min

The University Farm, in addition to
maintaining large herd of pure bred
hogs, has endeavored to answer some
of these feeding questions and two
years results have thus far proven
very conclusively that barley is a very
excellent substitute for corn. Other

wheat on his farm southwest Of

has harvested a crop Of slightly
more than thirty bushels to the

again and that any farmer who
