Of Producing Pork

washington D. C.-I.ice add
a cent Il pghnd to the cost Of
producing PORK. This has been
founa--i11 tests just completed
ri the experiment farm of the
United States department of
agriculture Mt Beltsville, Md.
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as TO quality
of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter
walls and mt the end of the fat
tenlng period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
cent pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
iHe OhlCldiS VI the utpuIi
ment who had charge of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
of the departments field meIi,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he in-
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

with the cooperation of the leaders

by the agricultural college. The lar

citizenship. but the school fair is the
most popular Of all.
The club boys ard girls bring
their chickens, corn, pigs. calves

products and hand work They
charge a regular admission and have

variably win out over the hit or
miss competition OF the ordinary
scrub chicken and pig raiser
One Of the competitive points is the
price of production. The value or
feed can usually be measured by the
price. At these fairs il has been
proved that cheap feeds generally
bring poor results. No one grain
IS sufficient. The contestants are pro
teeted in buying feeds by the county
agent who recommends only feeds
listed and analysed by the state.
Scratch feeds generally contain
suniour barley. oats. wheat. corn.
buckwheat, kaffir and milo, and the
children have learned to feed it

FARMERS GET S842
FOR THEIR OWN PAY

Starke county farmers VINO. in
cooperation with County Ascent c.
A. Buechner and the farm manage
ment department of Purdue univer-
farm transactions during the past
year have just had their income fig
Ured and factors worked out which
show the strong and weak places
in the farms business.
These farms made an average la
DOR income OF sS42. This income
is the amount that was left as pay
for the years work after all ex-
penses had been paid and after in
terest had been charged on invest
Iinent
These records show that the fac
tors which influence profit are size
OF business, amount Of livestock. re-
eeipts per each 500 worth OF feed
fed. crop yields and labor efficiency.
The farmers who have been keep
ing these records are getting more
livestock ana are increasing the size
Of their business. IN so doirg they
are able to use their labor more ef-
aciently and are getting better pas
for their work
The books were figured out with
the men who had kept them and a
summary and comparison with
other farms worked out. The oil
books were left with the farmer TO
keep as reference and he was given
a new book for keeping record OF
this next years business.
These books are free 10 any
farmer who viii agree 90 keep n
record of the years business and
turn in his book for a short time at
the end OF the year for summariz-
ing. Those wishing to cooperate
IN the work may secure one Of these

LIVESTOCK BOOST
TO FARM PROFITS
Starke County Farmers Find
Animal Unit important
Factor.

The farm management records
which were kept the past year in CO
operation with County Agent c. +.
Buechner and the farm manage
ment division OF Purdue university
show that livestock, OF good quail
ity and well fed. is very valuable
factor on Starke CO. farms The
farms in the survey had on an av-
erage OF j animal units An ami
nal unit is the number Of hogs
sheep, chickens. etc. equal TO a COW
in the amount OF feed consumed
during the year and the amount Of
manure produced AS the farms
included had An average OF l62
acres. this would make IS OF an
animal unit for each 10 acres
The farms which had more than
s. OF an animal unit per 10 acres
OF land. or an average OF 1.1e. had
a labor income OF S9Os. while farms
below s.. with an average OF 40 ami
NAL units for each 10 acres OF land.
had a labor income Of S764.
Along with amount Of livestock
the big essential IS TO have stock OF
GOOD quality. There is a lot or live
stock IN Starke Co. as well as in
other counties OF the state. that
does not return 500 for each 800
worth OF feed consumed. The more
Of such stock as this, the worse the
farmer is by having It, On the
farms where the stock was return
ing better than SIPS. or an average
OF S142 for each S10o worth of feed
eaten. the average labor income was
SL.G37. while on tho farms where
the stock was returning less than
$3.50, or an average Of S99.5, the
average labor income was only
$3.50.
Starke CO. is growing naturally
toward livestock. The past two
years have been unfavorabie for
grain farming, due TO late frosts.
The man with livestock has been
able 10 get something at least from
the frosted crops. BY use of live
stock all the roughage produced on
the farm car be fed to livestock and
put back in land in form of manure.
The livestock gives profitable labor
throughout the year, and II PROV
erly handled will mean better re-
turns from Starke Co. farms.
