PIG CLUB BOY MAKES $50
IN ONE YEAR ON ONE HOG

A profit of S570.61 on one hog is
what Howard X. Harris, Lees Sum-
nit, Mo-, made last year by enrolling
in pig club fostered by the EXten-
sion Service of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. That
was his profit in dollars. His profit
in knowledge, which came through do
ing, would be hard to calculate. What
Howard Harris did can be approx
mated by every farm boy in Missouri.
The story he tells of his pig shows
how simple it is to conform to the
requirements of the club work, and
what rewards might be gained. His
story follows:
II became interested in the pig club
because it appealed to me in many
respects; the breed was my choice, tbs
blood was of the best, making a good
foundation from both an educational
and financial standpoint.
eve went to Longview Farm or
June II. | got the pig on my personal
note for twenty-five dollars, without
interest. | agreed to pay the note oil
at a sale November 8. / selected this
breed because it was a good chance to
make something. | have always been
quite partial to the red hogs because
we have raised them on the farm at
home.
"Green pastures are good in pig
raising. They make a more nearly
balanced ration and eliminate much ex-
pensive feed. My pig has never
drunk very much water. weighed
my pig on ordinary platform scales
in a crate, then let her out and weigh
ed the crate.
II fed her milk and grain twice a
day in trough by herself, measuring
the feed each time so as to give her
a regular ration. The feed consisted
of different things, corn, oats, wheat,
rolled oats, shorts, and kitchen waste.
/ averaged about twenty minutes each
day with my pig, in feeding and car
ing for her. She became a pet and
handled nicely. F. L. Wright Estate
Club LEADER Mr.. Rusk, of the Uni
versity, and E. A. Ikenberry, the coun-
ty agent, visited me and talked over
the club work.
"Well bred hogs are better than
scrubs because they are larger and
better in every respect, just as easy to
keep, and are worth more money. l
will join the pig club again next year
because / have learned much about
handling and caring for pigs, and like
the work. A boy who will stick to
business and watch for his opportuni-
ty and will keep a good record is a
good kind of a boy for pig club work.
81 showed my pig at the Missouri
State Fair and was successful in win
ming first as Duroc, and grand cham
pion over all breeds, and this work has
been a great pleasure to me. While
at the fair, l learned great deal
about judging as well as taking care
of hogs.
"My pig was nine months old the
day the contest closed on November
Is. She measured 81 inches high, 81
inches around the heart, So inches
around the flank. She was sc inches
from end of nose to root of tail, z -
inches around the fore leg, and 2 81
inches aroung hind leg, weighed BOZ
pounds, and sold for $685."

Chronic Consultation

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by cathartic. Most of them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral waters
and strong cathartics that take too
much water out of the system and ag-
gravate the disease they are meant to
relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain Tablets affords a gen
tie movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by
medicine, and their use is not SO
likely to be followed by constipation.

one dreaded disease that science has

GAYETY- Y-Burlesoue.

An excellent burlesque show was put
on at the Gayety last night under the
title of THE Beauty Trust" There is
a slight thread of story connected
with the production of two-act
burletta, "Nedra," dealing with the
awakening of queen who has been a
mummy for 5000 years, but for one
who has been a dead one such a long

Frances Farr, and judged by her viva

have been other than formaldehyde.
Jack Pearl is the star comedian, and
his funny dialect and inimitable
sneeze contribute much to the gayety
of the entertainment. He is assisted in
funmaking by AL Hitler. Eugene

dance by Pearl and Hitler made the

 less strict, according to a statement made here by the Inter-Paciie Council. of which General Coleman Du Pont is chair man. Tens of thousands of aliens are reported l, to be giving up their jobs preparatory to returning to their home lands, it was said, and many of these "as the result of
 racial prejudices will take back with them stories about America which will make !, this country less attractive to immi- ! grants"
 The indepence that has been granted
