Alfred Kellberg of Burnt ridge
was a caller at The News Office to-
day and reported the sale of three
thorobred Poland China hogs to
meat dealers which brought him
S135. These hogs were little over
seven months of age, but weighed
900 pounds, or an average of 800
pounds each. Mr.. kellberg has it
figured out that they took on weight
at the average of one and one
fourth pounds a day from the time
thev were farrowed, and they were
not given full feed either during
that time. At the present price of
pork and the possibilities in raising
good stock. hog raising should be
given more consideration in the
future. Troy News.
The movement to employ an agri-
cultural agent met with considerable
opposition at the meeting held in
the court house Monday afternoon
to consider the proposition. Owing
to inclement weather and bad roads
only a small number of farmers
were present to hear what the or
ganizer. G. l.. Morrison. had to say
relative to the plan. After short
discussion the meeting adjourned
without taking favorable action.
w. S. Cunningham presided, and
spoke in favor of an agent, as did
J. B. Waugaman, representing the
Fraser grange; while Messrs. Mus
ser and Boehm of Gilbert opposed
the plan. DR.. Givens being asked
to give his views took a decided
stand against going to the expense
at this time of employing an agent
at the expense of S30O0.-Orofino
