This shows the generally stronger

to eat. Then they donned their ging-
hams and calicoes and moved in a
body into a shack directly across the
street from the sale barn and fixed
it up for the occasion. There they
made and served generous portions Of
vegetable soup, sandwiches of various
kinds. pies galore and coffee which
was not only hot but good. Tho day
was raw and the oil stoves of but

HOGS CLUTTER
CHICAGO YARDS

CHICAGO, Feb. 10-With pork pro-
ducts bringing high prices, Chicago
packers are SO nearly overwhelmed
with the amount Of hog meat on hand,
they have been forced to use every
inch Of storage space. They have re-
ceived such heavy shipments during
the last two months that all previous
records for receipts have been broken.
The government had to come to their
rescue. and the railroad administra-
ton ordered its employees not to de.
liver more hogs than the packers
could handle.
The reason for this swapping of
otockyards facilities IL that the pack.
ers, at the request OF the food admin-
istration, agreed to pay minimum
Price Of $3.50 for each hundred
pounds This was done to stimulate
production. because Of the need for
fats among Europeans. The farmers
have responded with the increase, but
ships have been lacking, with the re-
suit the packers have several hundred
million pounds Of meat on hand.
Chicago packers paid the farmers
fully s45.000,000 for hogs during Jan
uary alone.
Fear Decline In Price.
With more ships becoming avail
able the packers hope the huge stock
can be disposed Of without decline
in price. but more train loads keep
arriving. and pigs Is pigs" When
they come they must be handled quick
ly. Consequently the packers are ex-
ceedingly anxious to do their part
toward feeding the hungry foreigners.

729,265 during January. 1917, an in

amounts, adds to the fertilizing val
ne Of stable manure.
Conservative estimates show that
there were approximately 6.652,376
tons of potash in the farm, stable
and barnyard manure produced in
this country in 1913. The amount Of
potash in cattle manure alone was
nearly 100000 tons. 1t is general
iy agreed that fully so per cent of
the cattle manure is wasted by not
being placed upon the land at all.
by not being properly spread. or
through teaching from being expos
ed to the weather too long before
being spread.
So it is conservative to say that
fully 100000 tons of potash was
thus wasted in 1918. This is over
ten times as much as we imported
from Germany in that year.

For Skin 7ortures

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches. eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere trif1e for each
application. It is always dependable.
