TRYING TO SOLVE MYSTERY
Case of z. v. Graham of Sherburn
Clothed in siystery.

Sherburn November 2S.-The fate
of Edwin V. Graham, son of John III.
Graham of Sherburn, is one of the
mysteries OF the war. According to
information possessed by the father
Of this man, he went to Canada from
a western state in 1914 and enlisted in
a Canadian infantry outfit at Mon
treal. He went overseas and partici-
pated in some of the fiercest lighting
encountered by the Canadian expe-
dictionary forces.
Nothing was heard direct from Gra-
ham after reaching European soil but
in 1917 a letter, purporting TO be from
a comrade, was received which recited
that the writer had seen Graham
blown to atoms at the battle of the
Marine.
The case was investigated by the
home service section of the Red
Cross and a letter received from the
militia and defense department OF
the Canadian government this week
states that no such man can be identi
fed as being or having been soldier
in the Canadian forces.
This leaves the case a battling mys-
terry which will perhaps never be un

SOME HOG FEEDING FIGURES
What Can Be Gained BY Setting Dish
of Corn Before Porkers.


A Blue Earth county farmer re-
Gently asked the county agent TO help
him estimate the cost and profit of
hogging off corn costing S75 per acre,
says The Madison Lake Times They
weighed thirty five pigs put them in
two acres of corn with small
amount of rape adjoining it The
result after twenty days feeding were
as follows:'
Weight of hogs at start, 5,972
pounds.
Weight after twenty days, 1852
pounds.
Gain in twenty days, 1860 pounds.
Average gain per pig per day, 2.37
rounds.
Value of feeds fed in addition To
corn, $50.
Labor in fencing, $500.
Cost of two acres of corn, $3.50.
Total expense, S166.S2.
Cost of pork per pounds, 1905.
Selling price of hogs per pound
1885.
Total net profit, s55.61.
These figures show that even al
the very high price paid for STANDING
corn, there was still a profit in hog
ging It off with weilbred, quick grow
! ing hogs. BY this plan, the amount
| OF labor was reduced to a minimum
