Hogs and Corn.

H. C. Wallace, editor of Wallaces'
Farmer and one of-the most conscien-
tious scientists in the farm paper bus
mess, has made an investigation OF
the relation OF corn prices to hog
prices which will be OF interest TO eV-
cry farmer. He has discovered from
the market records for thirty-siX
years back that hogs would have to
sell at $21 per 100 pounds to pre-
serve the thirty-siX year average rela-
ton to corn prices Of today. They are
quoted at about SIS per hundred,
hence there should be some hesitancy
toward feeding old corn at present
prices.
However, when hogs bring S $11.5O
they can be fed corn at 81 per bush
el Wallace finds that for thirty-siX
years hogs have brought per 100
pounds 11.5 times the market price
for a bushel of corn. During some
years the price for hogs has varied
up or down from this ratio but that
is the average for thirty-six years
Eleven and a half bushels of corn
have. been equal to 100 pounds OF hog
in the markets of the world.
That means that $50 hogs can pc
fed $3.50 corn profitably next fall.
If hogs go down or corn goes up look
out for your feeding business.

Tried to Beat Train Across and Turn
ed Turtle.

A tourist from Duluth, Mimi, en-
route south, had an experience in try
ing to beat passenger train across
a crossing Monday afternoon at the
Little River bridge on the Leon and
Davis City road, which he will always
remember, and it should teach him a
good lesson. He was travelling alone,
driving Stutz roadster. and tried to
beat the north bound afternoon pas
senger train to the crossing, but al
though he was making 65 miles an
hour he saw the train had beaten
him, SO to avoid running into the
train he had to turn the car. to the
side of the road and-apply the brakes,
and the car turned over completely
twice, fortunately throwing him clear
of the car, and he escaped with few
painful bruises. The car had brok-
en- steering wheel, and some other
broken parts, and he had it taken on
to Davis City for repairs adet before n,S son n
