YOUNG GIRLS ROUGHLY :
HANDLED BY YOUTHS
Their Joyride Near to Ending
In Tragic Manner
FARMER CAME TO RESCUE
1t Required Shot Gun to Back
Up Two WouId.Be
Toughs
From Mondays Daily.


Faribault, April 1.-Two young girls
from this city while riding in cal
with two youths who are unknown to
the police, near Roberts Lake last
evening were brutally assaulted and
had it not been for the fact that their
cries for help were heard at the near
by farm of Ed Rossez a serious
crime would no doubt have been COM
mitted AS it was the girls cloths
were torn in shreds and Mr.. Rossez
had considerable difficulty In forcing
the two men to leave the vicinity.
Heard Girls Scream.
According to reports Mr.. Rossef
heard screams from the direction OF
the road leading to the lake quite late
last evening and at once started tc
see what the trouble was. He dis
covered the men and ordered them
to leave the girls alone at once
The ruffians probably emboldened by
the fact that there were two against
Mr.. Rossez, refused to go.
"N Secured His Rifle.
Mr.. Rossez went back to the house
and secured a rifle firing several
shots in the air in the hope of scar
ing the men away. They again re-
fused to go and continued mistreat-
ing the young women until Mr..
Rossez thrust the gun directly in
front of them and threatened to
blow their brains out unless they de-
parted at once.
Back up The Young Men.
He states that he backed the men
UP for nearly a block to their cal
and forced them to feave. The
young women were then taken to the
farm house where a taxi from the
city was summoned and they were
taken safely to their homes. Chic
Of Police John Lick sta,eG this morn
ing that he did not know the young
men but says this should serve as a
warning for girls who accept rides
with unknown parties. Rumors
claim that the youths were Ovation
ma boys but there is no proof of this
fact.
Two Nervous Young Men.
John Foster and o. H. Schroeder
stated this morning that last even
ing when they were returning from
a mint stamp campaign meeting III
Richland they met two young men
in a car and the bo>s asked if they
could borrow a pump. Mr.. Foster
stated he did not have a pump in
the machine. The men acted merry
Gus and queer and it is not improb-
able they were the same young mer
who committed the assault at Roberts
Lake. ~

In discussing "hogsing of" crops
we must not overlook the fact
that the eScrement of the pigs is
distributed quite uniformly over the
field and that it contains nearly all
the fertilizing materials of the food
consumed. Then, too, nearly all the
dry matter from which humus is
formed is returned to the land.
Consequently the productivity of the
land is being constantly increased.
Hogs should be provided with
plenty of fresh water all the time.

"HOGGING OFF" FORAGE CROPS

"HOGGING OFF" FORAGE CROPS
#Iiogs ar often considered un-
profitable simply because they are
given unsanitary quarters, the dry
lot feeding system is resorted to, or
they are turned on pasture and
managed like ruminants without
receiving any concentrates as 2
supplement to their ration. Neith-
er system should be followed, but a
combination of the two, that is,
swine should always receive grain
ration, even when running on the
best pasture.
Economy is of prime Importance
in any enterprise. for it means gain
or loss. When we hog off, crops
the hogs do their own harvesting,
hence we save labor. At the pres
ent high cost of labor this means a
great saving. Hogs in fields where
they harvest their own food gain
nearly thirty per cent more rapidly
than those fed in yards and require
less grain for a pound of pork.
Ihe cost of fencing seems to be
the:main obstacle preventing farm
ers from grazing hogs, yet the Min.
| Agri.= Exp. Sta. found that the ratio
of fencing for hogs compared to
husking the corn was 1 to 2.5. AS
pointed out by w. W. Shay, three
years ago when SO inch woven wire
cost $500 per forty rod bale, pork
wasseight cents per pound. Today
a forty rod bale of similar fencing
costs $500 and pork is II cents per
pound. 1t took just 100 pounds of
pork to buy a bale then. It takes
less now.
Duggar at the Ala. Exp. Sta. in
his experiments with hogs on forage
crops, found that soy beans gave
better returns than any other crol
used. Soy beans should be planted
May 20 to June Is in rows just
wide enough for the cultivator tt
pass between the rows and cultivat,
as<torn. The crop may be planted
vita asorn planter and should b.
rather thick in the rows. The pig
, should be turned on the soy bean
in time to eat all the leaves befor
frost.
Rape is one of our best forae
\ crops for pigs. 1t should be sow
5 lbs. to the acre on some of tn
!. best land available in August. Thi
: will furnish grazing for winter an
: early spring till clover is ready
craze The latter will furnish pas
ture till the soy beans are ready fo
8 the pigs.
If no clover is available for sprin
i pasture, SOW 2 bushels of oats, 5 ID
!" of rape, and 6 lbs. of red clover pc
. acre as early in the spring as po
= sible. When the crop is s to
a inches high it is ready to Craze an
will furnish pasture till the so
beans are ready to craze.
