HIS BOOKS SHOW
What HOGS COST
Farmers are Pleased now
When Their Books Show
Their Costs of Pro-
ducti0n.
THEY KEEP RECORD
Production of Pork and
Beef is now Matter Of
Certainty.
THEY KEEP RECORD

We hear great deal of discussion
these days as to the cost of 100 pounds
OF pork and as to whether there is any
profit III feeding corn at present
prices says Chris Christensen, county
agent. There are plenty of farmers
VINO can and do guess at it. but the
number who know from their own
figures are very few.
Scale Comes in Handy.
Here is where scale on a farm
comes in handy and there is prehaps
no implement on the farm upon which
I; larger investment can be realized, if
it is properly used. 1t is an investment
by which Il farmer can educate him
self in feeding hogs and steers and
gain Il knowledge of feeding on his own
farm that he could obtain no other way.
Needless to say that scale to be
valuable should be located that hogs
and steers can be run over it with the
least possible trouble.
Recently a Hamilton county farmer,
who had Il scale, presented me with a
set OF figures that are highly interest
ing and as a matter of shedding light
on feeding problems, we ought to have
more of these figures from farmers
everywhere Following is the record he
gave me:
Weight of 81 hogs Nov. 9-------11,;J $40
Average weight ------- 1856
Weight 62 hogs Jan. S---------14,77O
Gain in SO days------------- 1920

Feed Cost Per 100 Pounds Gain.

$1O.21, or cost per 100 pounds gain.

gain OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES "a.
1T is needless to say continued Mr..
christensen. that these hogs were good
feeders and were in good feeding condi-
ton when put on feed. All of the feed
was fed in self feeder and the hogs
had access to good fresh water at all
times. In addition to this. the hogs
We're. supplied witha combination, which
was also fed in a self feeder:

"One bushel OF salt.
Zone bushel of ashes. VIA
"One bushel of charcoal.
Zone bushel of cOpperas. ~
80 pounds of sulphur.
1.-THE figures given for feed are what
it actually cost him." said Mr.. Christell-
sen. He bought the tankage early in
the fall along with some OF his neigh
bOrs, who ordered a carload. The price
OF the corn and barley are figured ut
what corn was selling for locally when
he started to- feed 1t will be noticed
that the tankage the hogs consumed is
S per cent of the corn and barley fed.
but regardless of the low prices
at which this grain is figured, the
amount of feed consumed per 100
pounds of pork at present prices would
still leave a good margin OF profit on
good, well bred rangy hogs"

increase OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES S,DlO,UUU IDS
The government report, covering the
| entire country, and not merely a small
percentage of all the houses, will prob
ably show much larger surplus.
The high prices prevailing have un.
doubleday curtailed consumption OF
both butter and eggs.
While receipts OF cream last week
were not heavy, there was'considerable
pressure to sell butter, and some sur
plus on the larger markets, resulting III
lower selling prices.
The figures shown above indicate Il
considerable reserve stock to supple
ment current production.
Fresh eggs are quoted lower, due TO
lighter demand at prevailing prices,
and as it is getting late in the selling
season for storage eggs. and close To
the producing season on fresh, the
trade will be vrey glad to SEGA liberal
reduction in stocks each week.
Poultry.
Poultry receipts have been ample Tor
current requirements and prices nave
undergone little change. 1t appears
there is still large part OF the crop
to move, and it will tax the capaclty
of dressing plants to handle the poultry
as sold.
Turkeys have moved from the farms
at record prices, but most dressers nave
taken on sufficient stock to fill their
eastern orders. MI stock should be III
cars and moving not later than Dec. 10.
in order to reach the seaboard cities by
Dec. 10 and 20.

Isaac z. Marcoson.

No American writer caused the late Imperial German government more annoyance than Isaac Y. Marcosson who will lecture on The War-And After at Slater Hall, Friday evening, April 25th. The reason lay in the fact that no man in civil life made such a systematic and fearless study of the German propaganda in the neutral countries. It was Mir. Marcosson who first exposed the German game in Spain. He followed it up with equally 'scsthing revelations of the Teutonic espionage system in Holland. Sweden and Switzerland. Again and again his life was threatened. In Holland last June an attempt was made to lure him to the German frontier where a scheme had been matched to kidnap him into Germany.
 | The great value of Mir. Marcosson's information in this hour of reconstruc- tion is that the German economic pen ctratton which made the pre-war Ger man authority possible will be renewed the moment the peace treaty is signed. Mir. Msrcosson believes that the Unit ed States will be one of the first fields of operation.
 Tn an interview in New York the other day Mir. Msrcosson uttered this warning to the American people:
 ''The tragedy of the war is that the Germans were not beaten badly enough on tho field of battle was in Switzerland fvn days before the ar mistice was signed and the German agents there were just as cocky and defiant ss found them in Spain and Holland six months previous. Ger many will test every resource to re- store herself commercially. The first A n inr should be a rigid censorship of iInmi- grafton. The melting pot should be- come strainine pot. We must put ar end to the abuse of citizenship which caused such carnival of sabota ge before we entered the war;

Polish Aims Protested
By Ukrdinian Priests

Ukrainian priests from all parts of
the United States met yesterday at the
Hotel Pennsylvania to make a formal
protest against the surrendering to
Poland of Eastern Galicia. The gather
ing was under the auspices of the Ma
tional Ukrainian Committee represent
ing 100000 persons Of that national
ity in America.
Charges were made by the priests
that Poland was creating a new i'm
perialism and new militarism, and
the new republic was indicted in the
most violent. terms.
"lnstead of the Prussian beasts, it
is now the Polish beasts" said the
Rev Philomen Kisolowsky, of Ansonia,
Conn. "These Polish beasts, moreover,
crush even those of their own faith
in their mad scramble for territory"
Resolutions were adopted that pro
test should be sent TO the Pope, the
peace conference. the State Department
at Washington and to newspapers
throughout the country.
The United States government also
was asked to appoint commiss 20
visit the Ukraine and Eastern Galic.n
and investigate alleged Polish dcprc-
datiCns there.
