When sold March IL the pigs weigh
ed 400 and at Is cents a pound brought
$63.7O. The initial cost Of the pigs,
plus the cost of feed was $33.15, leav-
ing net gain on the pigs of $30.55.
In closing his report the boy says:
81 did not keep account Of the milk
and waste from the kitchen as mamma
would rather put it in slop can than
throw it out in the yard and so she
told me could have it for carrying it
to the pigs"
In commenting on the report VIM.
Meikle, head of the agricultural de-
partment of the high school, says:
"this report illustrates an interesting
feature regarding the profits derived
from feeding one or two pigs on our
small farms during this period Of high
prices Of grain. When the price Of
mill feeds double, if the price Of pork
is correspondingly high, the profit
from the grain fed will also be double,
If there is profit. IF there is q loss
the loss would be correspondingly
great. However, If the feeder can
break even on the mill feed and can
feed a large amount Of roughage and
Stops that would otherwise go to waste
at 13c per pound for pork he is re-
ceiving price for his home grown
feed, which otherwise might be vast
ed, which is in direct ratio to the high
price of grain. In other words, when
mill feed doubles in price, If pork
doubles in price, Stops and roughape
also have double value.
"There should be pig on every
small tract in Kennewick, yet within
the last year this district has become
almost spigless.'n

BOYS CAN'T WORK ON FARM
AS LONG AS SCHOOL KEEPS
Responsibility of Laws Enforcement
is Placed upon Local School
Authorities

AS is usual at this time Of year To-
cal school authorities are having not a
little trouble with parents who think
their boys are needed more on the farm
than in the school room. While this
may be true the school management
has no choice in the matter as the
state law says the boys must go TO
school and places the responsibility of
the laws enforcement upon the local
authorities.
That the parents may fully UNDER
stand the situation the following Sec
lions of the state law are published:

$1,000 IN PROPERTY BURNED.
Started by Spark From Threshing
Engine.

Over $4,000 worth of property was
destroyed by fire on the c. w. Tay-
lor farm near Pearl, yesterday after
noon about 4:30 o'clock. The fire
was started by spark from thresh-
ing engine and the flames spread be-
fore neighbors could be called to ex-
tinguish them.
Several loads of wheat bundles
were standing near the separator,
where a spark from the steam en-
gine landed directly between two
horses belonging to one of VIM Tay-
lor's boys. The straw caught readily
and the flames shot up, burning the
horses to death before they could be
driven away. A large straw stack
by the separator caught and the
sparks from the burning stack were
blown over the field. The wind
swept the fire on towards a large
elevator in which Mr.. aTylor stores
all his grain. Neighbors came to the
assistance and put out the fire be
fore it reached the elevator The
machine was three quarters of a
mile from the hous ebut the field of
wheat burned all the way to the
farm buildings.
While many of the men were
keeping the fire back from the ele-
vator the separator, belonging to
Ben Fielder, caught and was com
pletely destroyed. Little effort was
spent in trying to save the separator
as it was surrounded by dry straw
md wheat bundles Two rack wag-
lns and two wheat wagons were also
burned but the other teams were
lriven from the danger zone The |
steam engine was the only thing that
Mas not destroyed within a radius OF
