CORN WASTE IS
q dIT EREAn,

Better methods of feeding hogs en-
route to market would save $3000,0OO
for farmers and consumers, according
to NJ d. Hesler of the animal husband
nv department of Iowa State college,.
During 1919 the largest hog. markets
Of the United States received approx
5mately 375 900 car loads of hogs which
were fed six bushels of corn per car on
the road to market or $3.50 900 bushels.
Valued at $500 per buskel this corn
was worth $4,5O0,GO0.
The humane stociety studied this
matter and recommended that hogs in
transit receive two bushels of corn to
the car, which amount was consider
cred sufficient for hogs to be slaughter
ed Immediately. At this rate 100000
bushels would be required, which val
.ued at $500 per, bushel is worth ST.
500 900. The difference between the
present method of feeding and that con
sidered sufficient by the humane sOci-
ETY. being $3,000,00O.

Patrick Hassett sustained a loss of
$4,000 on Friday afternoon when the
house on his farm known as the
Sprecher farm south Of Denison,
burned to the ground. 1t is thought
the fire started in the roof, probably
caused by a defective flue. The farm
is occupied by Art Drake, and the
family was away from the home at
the time of the fire. While there
was some insurance, the loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. Mr.. sHassett was in
town Saturday making arrangements
for lumber for which to erect temper
airy quarters for his tenant.

While the season is fifteen or more

very good throughout the county.
Farmers are now busy preparing the
ground for the corn crop, and are anx-
iously awaiting warmer weather that
will enable them to plant. The soil is
in the best of working condition, and

This land is worth not less than $40 an
acre. at low estimate.
And this is not all Gov. John NJ.
Parker, Conservation Commissioner
Nj. l.. Alexander and Mr.. McIlhenny
have plan to increase the total acre
age TO 100000 in one big tract.
The Rockefeller foundation and
Ward-McIlhenny tracts are separat-
ed by two other tracts. One OF the lat
ter is tract of 5000 acres. living in
Vermilion parish and owned by the
VermiliOn Bay company. The other
is tract of $4,000 acres. belonging
to several owners. BY the addition
of these two tracts the big bird refuge
would have an unbroken frontage of
20 miles on the gulf
Commissioner Alexander believes
that the next year will see the pur-
chase of these two tracts by the stote
and their addition TO the refuge. II
is stated that a majority of the own-
ers Of the $4,000 acre tract have
agreed to sell to the state for refuge
purposes at price approXimating So
an acre. This is virtually a gift to
the state of half the value of the
land.

father of wildIifc conservation i'm

the title. Anyway IL was ne who in

patrol boats equipped with small rap
id-fire guns. II was hard fight.
Louisiana has long been the haunt of
swarms of market hunters and pIu-
mage hunters. Many battles were
fought between the wardenS and the
poachers. The most sensational. pos
sibly, was that In which Rene Sau-
nier fought a three-hour gun battle

nearly died, but finally recovered. All
six of the poachcrs are serving terms
in states prison and Marsh island is
free from their kind nowadays
Soon after obtaining the Russell
Sage foundation gift Mr.. McIlhenny
went again to New York and. with
Mr. Wards assistance. succeeded I'm
persuadlng the Rockefeller foundation
to take action
But long before Mr. McIlhenny was
instrumental i'm securing these two
tracts for the state he was at worl,
