The action Of the Food Administers
ton has completely changed the hog
raising problem and for the first time
has taken the speculation out Of it,
SO that now yon are able to tell prac-
tically what your profit on your hogs
will be before yon begin feeding. nj
To illustrate. The Food Administra-
ton on February first, based the price
Of pork on the price Of corn. That is,
they gave assurance that the lowest
price paid for hogs would be the aver
age market price Of 13 bushels Of corn
for each 100 lbs. weight of hogs. That
is, if the average price Of corn for the
year is $3.50, and your hogs weigh 200
pounds, you would be allowed as the
lowest price, the value of &c bushels.
Of corn at $3.50 a bushel, This means
that the quicker you can fatten the hog,
and the less feed you use, the more
money you viii make, because the sell
ing price will still be figured on the
above basis. h
This means more money for the man
who raises hogs, and a change in the
price of corn will not take your profit,
as has often happened in the past. III
To show you how the new plan works
out as prepared by the Food Admin
istration, let lis suppose that you are
feeding 100 head Of hogs for market,
and that you market them at an average
weight of 800 pounds.
The plan allows you, as a minimum
price for this 100 head Of hogs at 800
pounds weight, the market price of IS
bushels Of corn for each 100 pounds of
weight, figuring the price of corn from
the time the sows. are bred, for one
year.
Say the average price Of corn is $3.50.
! This would give you as your selling
price, the value of 1900 bushels of corn
at $3.50 a bushel, or $3.50 for the 100
head of hogs when they weigh 800
pounds.
You will make your profit by cutting
down the amount Of corn as much under
5000 bushels as possible You and ]
know that it is actually possible to
make 800 pound hog, with the proper
care, on 25 bushels Of corn Figure
then, that you actually feed the hogs
$500 bushels Of corn at an average
value Of $3.50. You will see that it has
cost you $3.50 to produce these hogs
that you sell for $3.50, or a profit tc
you, not counting labor, of $1,000.

new and untried system, but that is
not necessary. The state does not
have to confine itself to any one line
of practice, tho it is doing it and so
far as it's declarations go, it has de-
clared for one and one only. If you
were thrown from a car today and
were a raving lunatic in our asylum

to take clliropractor or Christian
scientist or an osteopath or Mormon
elder into your room or cell just to
see if something could not be done to
regain your mental balance, they
would be told that this is strictly

a medical institution and conse-
quently nothing of the kind can be
allowed. That because the medical
doctors can do nothing to cure the
patient that nothing under heaven
can be done. That is the rule and
that is the practice. / believe that
DR.. Hoover would make exceptions
to the rule and be very kindly and
very human about it, and he would
earnestly hope that the patient might
be cured forthwith, but he would
have no confidence in the experiment
and he would do it only to satisfy
those making the request.
If I were the one making the re-
quest, / should be very grateful when
given my way about it, and yet in the
bottom of my heart / should be har-
boring the thought that it ought to
be my right to do this, and that If the
medical superintendent should deny
my request and my friend suffered
