mer heat for Mr.. Hog. he should pay
us for our labor And l am working
with Mr.. Hampshire Hog because he
pays me best.
These are war times. If we can
raise more pork by using hog that
will convert the largest amount OF
green forage crops into pork and use
! a smaller amount of our concentrated
grains, and in the end show larger
profit, isn't it good business as we'll
as a patriotic duty to do so?
The wise and successful man in
every line of activity is the man who
studies we'll the conditions that effect
the future. and arrives at his con-
illusions from the logical results of
cause and effects. No student Of pres
ent economic conditions can fail to
arrive at the conclusion that the reg
istered hog best meets the require
ments of the pork barrel; that the reg
istered hog business is in it's in
fancy; that the demand for pork prod.
ucts is in excess Of the supply; and
that the operation of the law of sup
ply and demand will insure high prices
for breeding stock and pork products
for years to come.
Therefore, you can start in or en-
large your hog business with conf
dence and feel that you are engaged
in both a profitable and patriotic duty.
1t is only in this way that the neces-
sary pork supply for 1888 can be
obtained. 20 49, y
Harlan Republican: The thresher-
men of the county held meeting at
Harlan yesterday and were addressed
by aaman sent out by the government
to talk to them about te kind OF thresh-
ing the government wants done this
year. All machines must be put in
thorough repair, and they must be
run in manner to save all the grain
possible. The machines and work will
be inspected, and if either are not
up to the requirements they will be
put off the job. That sort of threshing
will be slower and more expensive.
Help this year is also way up in
price. Wherefore the threshermen
will have to have more pay. Prices
were agreed upon as follows: Oats,
5 cents per bushel; barley, 6 cents;
wheat, 10 cents. These are the prices
agreed upon in Pottawattamie and
perhaps other counties. If the thresh-
ermen save as much more grain as
is claimed they can, the farmer can
pay the increased prices and be way
ahead
Logan Observer-Some years ago
the McHenry herd of Aberdeen Angus
cattle was we'll known in this county.
In fact this herd was known all over
the country as the different individuals
exhibited at stock shows and EXPOSE
tons all over the country won many
prizes. A. few years ago Mr. McHenry
who was getting along in years, de-
cided to quit the line stock business,
SO he sold the herd. But the fact that
"blood will tell" was demonstrated
at a sale recently held in Shelby
county, where most of the McHenry
herd went when the dispersion sale
was held and eleven head of the Nc
Henry Ericas sold for an average of
81, 10000, ten McHenry Prides brought
an average of $S35.O0. At another
sale recently a Black cap McHenry
brought $5,025. 1t would seem that it
pays to raise that kind of stock even
on high priced Iowa land. 1t is too
bad that more Of the young men of
western Iowa do not get into the
thoroughbred stock business There
is a great field for that sort of effort,
and the field will enlarge after the war.
