Hog Killing Time
 is Thing of Past
 on Modern Farms

Shelbyville, Mo, Dec. 29.--Mod' ern times have changed many thing on the farm and now hog killing time on the agriculture! preserve is beginning to become a lost art. The high cost of la bor and the fact that the farmers do not care to fool with the slaughtering business has led them to contract with butchers in their home towns ,o do the kl-- ing and dressing Of their porkers Butchers say that this business has picked up 200 percent ih the past two years.
 Farmers gather up two or three '30O-pound hogs in their wagons or trncks, cart them to town where thev deposit them in slaughter houses, where everything is sys- fematically arranged to convert +he hogs into something to eat. As soon as the job is finished the butcher telephones to the farmer and he probably makes that trip in his limousine, and the finished product is much easier to handle.
 Farmers say by the time they hire two or three hands at $4 9 day. furnished fuel and dinners the expense amounts far above what those in town, prepared to do such work, will charge for 1t In former years when labor was scarce and farmers were willing

The early and heavy snows in Iowa this year, together with smoother roads, have made con- ditions ideal for sleighing, espec- ially in northern Iowa, but very few persons are to be seen trav- cling in that way. Automobiles go about the same as usual, and occasionally two-horse bob sled is to be seen heavily loaded with farm produce, wood or ather freight. 3sSl sSs|
