MEDAYTO 4 FARMS DUROCS

Durocs are one of the most profit
able breed of swine, and Fall litters
are easily and proftably raised, as
one does not have weather conditions
to contend with at this season of the
year. -. 49,. -
+. tSows that farrow in August or Sep
tember wean their pigs before cold
weather, SO that with shelter and
plenty of feed the pigs have nothing
to do all winter except to m;Jke hogs
of themselves. During the following
year, with only a small amount Of
grain, they develop wonderfully on
good pastures, and the young sows
are so we'll developed that their
growth is not stunted, with their first
litter, they are then in such good
physical condition that their pigs get
much better start than from gifts
only year old. 81
Many will recall the, bred sows we
had to offer last year, those now for
sale compare. favorably with them, but
instead of selling at prices from five
hundred to- fifteen hundred dollars.
one hundred dollars will buy not only
| good SOW but good prospective lit
ter.
We would be pleased to show you
these good sows at any time, as they
are on our farm at Spicer.

MINNEAPOLIS ELECTION

The result of Mondays election att
Minneapolis for mayor is the success
of Col. Leach over Thomas Van Lear
by majority running upwards of
twelve thousand. The Non-Partisan
Workingmen's forces gained seven al
dermanic seats which with five: hold.
overs gives them twelve aldermen and
pledges made by some of the others
elected are said to be such as to give
the peoples movement control of the
council. The mayoralty fight was one
of the dirtiest in the history of the
state, and We hope that if Col. Leach
made the attacks on Van Lear as re-
ported, he be forced to prove the truth
OF them in court or get out. Special
privilege never has and never will
fight fair. when their power is SER
iously threatened. People of the
state who were deprived of their
choice for Congress in the Seventh
District by the courts upholding a
far-fetched charge of SANDER are anx-
ious now to see how jealous they
will be to uphold the corrupt4practices
act in the case of the mayoralty fight
at Minneapolis.
A tremendous vote was polled
III, ,446 votes being cast for mayor
The total vote cast for governor las
fall in Minneapolis was 132,931.

There arc very few farmers who know
the barberry bush when they see it.
There ought to be mounted samples Of
barberry bush in every farm bureau Of

can have. There ought to be one in

1t is human nature to complain about
the acts OF the other fellow and espe-

present system of grain marketing is
better and cheaper than any method

Colorado Farmers
May Aid in Relief
OF Famine Sufferers

When President j. K. Howard OF
| the American Farm Bureau Fedora

/ ing population of Europe IL the other
industries would transport II. he start.
cd n movement that Is assuming such
gigantic proportions that 1t now seem,
| certain that tho starving people on
every part OF the globe will receive
food from the surplus which the
American turmcr Is 40 generously Of.
fcring
When the farmers offer became
known the Hallway Brothcrhoods Of
fcrcd 10 furnish engine and train
crews to handle the grain in solid
trainloads free. The u. S. Shippic
Board is expected TO offer ships free
to transport II to foreign ports and tho
u. 5. Naval Reserve VIII no doubt man
the ships free. Tho railroads will un-
doubtcdlY mako some concession on
their equipment SO that this grain
under present arrangements will reach
tho starving people with very little OK
pensc to the relief organizations.
According TO present plans the vari-
Gus relief Organizations will be able
TO handle SO million bushels of corn
instead OF one million bushels as II
first planned.
Farmers in every section OF tho
u. s. not TO to be outdono by the corn
Erowors, are offering free all kinds
ported and The relief organizations arc
cquippiug themselves to take care of
these products. CondcnsericH, cream :
cries. packers and others will no
doubt aid in getting them In such a
form that they can bc shipped to best
advantage.
Tho work has developed so rapidly
that President Howard has placed
Carl 4 Nrcom1n In charge of ali tho
relief work for the American Farm
Bureau Federation, with Headquarters
in Mr.. Towards office at 3 south
Wabash avenue, Chicago. Mr.. Nroo-
man is donating his time and energies
to this work free and In allotting the
farmers donations TO the various re-
lief organizations as they arc equip
ped to take care of them. Under tho
present plan, most donations OF grain
are shipped intact to tho stricken area
before being millcd so that all OF tho
by-products can be used there.
Coiornd"'s Opportunity
Colorado now has an opportunity to
perform service for humanity by
taking part in this movement. IT is
s,ifc to assume that the farmers of
Colorado will respond with any sur
plus product that they have available.
Plans are already under way to per-
feet an organization to carry ON this
work on u state wide basis.
