minimum of about $3.50 per hun
dredweight for the average Of pack
ers' drOves on the Chicago market.
We have had and shall have the
advice of a board composed Of
practical hog growers and experts.
That board advises that the best
yardstick to measure the cost Of
production Of the hog is the cost
of corn.
That board further advises that
the ratio Of corn prices to hog
prices on the average over a series
of ears, has been about twelve to
one. or a little less In the past.
when the ratio has gone lower
than twelve to one. the stock of
h oes in tina country has decreased.
When it was higher than twelve
the hogs have increased. That
board has given its judgment to
bring the stock of hogs back to nor
NAL under present conditions the
ratio should be about thirteen.
Therefore. as to the hogs farrow-
ed next spring. we will try to sta.
bilize the price so that the farmer
can count on getting for each 100
poDnds of hog ready for the market
thirteen times the average cost per
bushel of corn fed to the hogs"

No one would select sod and
weeds and brush for materials with
which to build roads, yet many
road overseers in using road
grader drag just this sort Of material
into the center of the roadway
and, worse still, they leave it there
The resul, is soft, sponey spots
which interfere with traffic. On the
other hand. il is impossible to grade
road properly without removing
weeds and brush from the bitches,
and the grader naturally draws this
material to the center OF the road.
The State Highway Department has
gotten excellent results by having
the road thoroughly narrowed im-
mediately after or during the time
the road is being graded. An old
fashioned spike-tooth "A" harrow is
best. Weight the Harrow down
well with some logs or a box filled
with stones, and as the weeds and
brush are collected fork them over
onto the unused portion of the
right of-way or arrange in piles and
burn when dry.

proper mixture Of sand and clay
makes well.packed road, and there
is no better way of applying sand

The minimum price of hogs in
average packers drOves on the Chi
caeo market. in so far as il may
be governed by the United States
Food Administration, will be sp-
proximately SIS so a hundred
weight.
The statement also declares that
the food administration will at
tempt to stabilize the price of hogs
farrowed next spring so that the
farmer may be assured of getting
for each 100 pounds Of hog ready
for the market, thirteen times the
average cost Of a bushel Of corn fed
TO the hogs. or a ratio Of thirteen to
one as regards the price Of'corn.
The statement in fall follows:
The food administration has
four main purposes in view with
reference to hogs: To see that the
producer at all times can count on
a fair price for his hogs, so that ii
will be for him: TO see that the
farmer increases the number Of
hogs bred; to limit the profit of the
packer and the middle man; TO
eliminate speculation.
"All these purposes are necessary
because we must have. more hogs
SO that the ultimate consumer shall
at all times Get an adequate sup
ply of hogs at the lowest feasible
price.
I'VE shall establish rigid control
of the packer. Fair prices to the
saf.her for his hogs. we Deiieye. wiif
be brought about by the full con.
troll which the food administration
has over the buying of the allies,
our army and navy, the Red Cross,
the Belgian relief, and the neu-
trails.
The first step is to stop the
sudden break in the prices paid for
hogs in the central markets, These
prices must become stable, SO that
the farmer knows where he stands
and will feel justified in increasing
the number of hogs for next win

affect them, will not 60 below a

1t is not without reason that the
serpent chose an apple for the temp
tation of Eve, thereby insuring his
chances Of success. In due course
the race of man falls anew each
year when the first shining beauties
appear in the markets. There is
something about an apple that starts
a mighty longing in the human
breast; perhaps tang of the high
aud far.off times of youth which
never quite fade, days when the
long grasses, wet with early October
dew, reluctantly revealed to the
late rising sun the treasures hid in
their tangled depths. Days when
you munched apple after apple on
your way to school-and how they
chilled your front teeth!-always
finishing core in time to hit the
tenth fence post beyond. The mists
of memory dissolve. but the apple
comes every year, bringing joy to
the hearts of all who love its per
sonality even better than its taste

to stretch of clay road than by
drilling it in with grain drill. The
openings in the drill can be set to
apply as much sand as needed. and
a uniform distribution is assured.
The rule cannot be reversed, of
course, in applying clay to a sand
road. but here we find another farm
tool useful. according to the State
Highway Department, and the man.
ure spreader can be used to advant-
age. The tools for this character Of
road improvement arc found on
practically every farm, and when
the Missouri farmer learns that it
pays to mix sand with clay in order
to improve dirt roads even the by
ways, as well as many of the high.
ways, will be improved by this
method.
The use of the harrow, the grain
drill and the manure spreader in
earth road construction. brought TO
the attention of the farmers of Miss
ouri by A. C. Mckihbin. secretary of
the State Highway Board, should re-
suit in the improvement of many
miles of road throughout the state
where there is not money on hand
for better type of construction
The spike-tooth harrow is used to
remove grass and weeds from d
newly graded road OF to smooth nut
the roadway much the same as is
accomplished by dragging; the grain
drill is Used to drill sand into clay
road The sand and clay unite and
form a mixture which packs well
and the roadway is greatly improv-
ed. The manure-spreader will ap-
ply the clay just as effectively as
the drill does sand. with the same
result. Farmers are urged to begin
now to get a supply of sand or clay
ready for use this winter, so that
when teams are idle they can be
used to improve the roads. A CO.
operative effort along this line would
be effective in many counties.
