EIGHTY ACRE FARM RAISES $21ot
WORTH OF HOGS

I recently saw the following article
in the Elkhorn. Wis, Independent
and believe it Of sufficient local inter
est to clip it and print it in this de-
partment: NJ
"a splendid record OF raising hogs

Bronson, who owns and operates an
so acre farm in the town of Lafay.
cite. Within the Past year Mr.
Bronson has sold $21OO worth of hogs
and without corn crop. Mr.. Bron
son says it would be impossible tc
Z produce the hogs in such numbers and
market them successfully without
skim milk. Consequently he mar
kets the cream produced and keeps
the skim milk on the farm.

The skim milk is also mighty yalu

were large enough to command best
veal prices. This would have been
impDssible without the skim milk.

to liberty and was fighting for you.
OF course, many of us are not going
to lay up any money this year and
probably next, but we are going to
have plenty to eat and enough to
wear, and while we are contributing
heavily, both directly and indirectly,
to carry on the war, we are making
no sacrifices comparable with those
of our allies or what we would have
been called upon to stand if the kais-
err had won and the iron heel of the
beast of Berlin was on our neck. Some
day it will all be over and we can
take up morning paper without first
looking for the casualty list, when we
can sing the songs we used to sing,
when we can look with pride at the
boys who have come home to take our
places, to do the work that we have
done and govern this country better
than we have governed it, when we
can look to the future with confidence
that our children and our children's
children shall live under the banner
of freedom with the knowledge that
life for them is what they make it,
unhampered by. tyrannical despot-
ism and safe from the oppression of
a military autocracy. N,

George Maynard, of section 8, Jack
son township, is building a garage
20x20. He will store his auto and
auto truck in the building. Mr.. May
nard recently started with few
sheep-four head-and he intends to
enlarge the flock considerably in the
near future. What he has are pure
bred, they are the Shropshire breed.
The Shropshire is the most popular
breed Of mutton sheep in the United
States. The Shropshire natures ear
ly and is almost completely covered
with thick wool Of medium length.
Mrs. Maynard decided two years ago
to raise but one breed Of chickens,
and that breed should be pure bred.
After giving the matter considerable
thought she decided upon the White
Orpington. They are an all around
general purpose breed, laying good
sized eggs, have excellent meat, ma
ture early and are hardy. There are
now about $50 on the farm and they
certainly make a nice appearance.
