Condemned High
Priced Stock Foods
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted--
Makes His Own Hog Food
With Better Results

"That he is all through paying
fancy prices for stock foods and
hog remedies and that he is raising
some of the best hogs ever placed on
the market" was the statement made
recently by E. Fl. Beckstead, we'll
known hog raiser and authority on
live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped.
the market" for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and
hog remedies, but he is all through
paying extravagant prices for what
he can make himself. He states that
what the hogs need are minerals, and
tells the secret of his wonderful sue
cess by explaining that he takes
about five pounds of ordinary min
eraline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and cost only couple of
dollars) and mixes same with
enough bran or filler to make hun
dred pounds. All hogs, AMI especi
ally brood sovs, require min erals as
they keep them from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and are essen
tial to the hogs growth and well
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in sheltered box,
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better re-
suits than any high priced so-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Minera-
line Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells
st., Chicago, ILL.,, and they will for
ward you by prepaid parcel post,
enough mineraline to make a full
hundred pounds.-Advt. (33-4t)

Erosion Damages
Kentucky Soils

Wherever there is a barren hill
side on any farm in Kentucky the
operator of that farm should SOW
some grass seed this spring in or
der to secure a stand of vegetation
that will stop the erosion which re-
suits from heavy rains and which
causes great losses in valuable plant
food elements each year to the far
mers of the state, is the statement
of r. E. Stephenson, of the Soils
and Crops Department of the State
College of Agriculture.
If gullies have already started,
these should be checked with stones,
straw or other refuse and then a
grass mixture thrown over them.
Sweet clover plants with the seeds
on are excellent TO spread upon such
places since the sweet clover may in
this way not only get a start, but
furnish ercellent pasturage, accord
ing to Mr.. Stephenson.
In speaking of erosion the Soils
and Crops specialist said, at has
taken natural processes millions of
years to cover the earth with a layer
Of soil, the richest part Of which is
on the surface. However, by poor
farming methods, leaving land with
out a growing crop, and the cult
walton of steep hillsides, single
flood Of rains in a few hours may
carry away a layer Of fertile soil
that cannot be replaced in years. II
is plain, then, that an ounce of pre-
veDtion is worth several pounds of
cure, in eliminating the possibility
OF erosion on Kentucky farms"

East Nashville, Tenn The effic-

vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer Of this city. "Tt is without

Many other men and women through

valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and Ia cleansing
the bowels of impurities.

Girl, Is, Runs the
Tiniest Of Papers

Liberal Kansas claims the small
est newspaper and the youngest pub
Usher in the United States. Alice c.
Nichols, now Is years old, is owner,
editor, business manager, typesetter
and pressman of the Nichols Jour
nal. 1t is a weekly paper Of from
four to eight pages with two columns
six inches in length.
Miss Alice first became an editor
six years ago. While her father, DIR.
Roscoe T. Nichols, was college sur
geon at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College, Manhattan, Kan, Miss
Alice, her brother, "Billy," and the
other young folk built play town
which They called Tiny Town. A
newspaper was desired, so Alice was
designated to handle this phase of
the play towns activities. Under her
charges a paper called the. '"Tiny
Town News" appeared. 1t related the
doings of Tiny Town citizens. Alice,
who was years old at that time,
printed the paper with lead pencil.
Alice's father enlisted in the med
ical branch of the army at the out
break Of the war. When he went to
camp the first issue of the Nichols
Journal appeared to keep him in
formed as to family news. This was
in August, 1917.
The paper was originally printed
on a typewriter and the first edition
consisted of three copies. When the
paper became known, subscribers
came fast. 1t soon became too great
task to get out the paper by type
writer, even with carbon paper. A
Monograph was installed in the edi-
torial sanctum. This equipment also
soon became inadequate and Alice
purchased two cases of type.
She soon became adept at type
composition. When the forms are
set the papers are printed on a job
press in the office of the Liberal
Democrat, which has given the
young journalist full range in the
shop. She does her own presswork.
The circulation of the Nichols
Journal now exceeds 1875 and is
growing rapidly. 1t is published as
an Independent newspaper" The
paper has considerable advertising
from local merchants. The display
advertising rate is 10 cents an inch.
Miss Nichols declares advertising in
her paper brings results.
Each issue of her paper contains
an editorial which she thinks out on
her way to and from school. As an
example of the serious effect which
she puts into her work is the follow
ing editorial urging generously in
relief work, from recent issue.
''With Americas prosperity it now
seems inconceivable that there are
people not far away from enlighten-
ed happiness who are in the dark
abyss Of ignorance. Ignorance is the
base of constant war, starvation and
homelessness. Ignorance also throws
Christian and happy people into the
darkness of horrible death. It is up
to happy American citizens to do
away with these conditions. The very
lives of many human beings hang on
the thread Of our country's gener-
osity. Our own happiness should
make us want to do our part. Share
your joys"

Oats are a better grain feed than

Geese are much like cows in needing

FIGURE LARGELY IN HISTORY
Animals and Reptiles That Have Been
Held In High Reverence for
Various Reasons

Perhaps no animal ever butted its
way into the literature Of childhood
so successfully as Gid Mary's little
lamb, and today no animal gets as
much petting and fantastic reverence
bestowed upon 1t as does the white ele-
plant Of Siam. and the elephant In
America has Its following. In Siam the
worshlpers believe that the soul Of
dead person, perhaps Of Buddha, may
I've lodged In the white elephant. Con-
sequently he Is baptized, dined and
wined. and mourned at his death.
The snake figures as much In his
tory as a pet as perhaps any other rep
tile or animal. The sinuousness Of its
body, made possible by the hundreds
Of yertebrae In Its backbone, and the
never.winking eyes have given II a
fascination conducive to belief that
some sort OF occult power is embodied

rocks of their temples. even in the

PROPER SIZE OF CONTAINERS
Dissatisfaction Caused by Use Of Re-
ceptaeles Not Sufficiently
Strong Enough.

Much dissatisfaction with direct
marketing has been caused by using
containers that were not sufficiently
strong. That is especially true when
containers are used more than once.
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Shipping containers
should be light 10 weight but sufficient
ly durable to carry the produce
safely.
The proper size Of contsIner de-
ponds upon the desires OF the custom
ers. Most persons wish 10 obtain
email quantities Of each product ut
time. Containers should be just large
enough for the produce shipped. u
the carton Is too large or too small.
both the produce and the container
are likely TO De damaged, for the pro-.

In order 10 know what progress Is
being made In farm operations and TO
determine what crops or branches of
farming are producing the greatest
profits. II Is necessary for the farmer
60 keep a system of accounts. say
specialists of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. The prac-
tice will not OF itself turn a poor farm
Into rich one, poor farmer into a

farm records, II accurately kept and

the farming business.
The keeping of accounts need not
take q great amount Of time nor Is 1t
necessary 10 have an elaborate system.
Two Kinds Advisable.
Farm records may be roughly d.
vided into two heads-rec0rds of hap.
penings and records OF money trans
actions The former proves useful
when memory fails. Among the hap
penings that should be recorded are
the dates when animals are bred. men
hired or discharged, accidents occur,
pasture season begins and ends, first
and last frOsts occur, incubatOrs are
set, spring work begins and fall work
ends, seed time and harvest occur, etc.
Such notes as these. when systematic
ally recorded and constantly referred
to. are Of much value.
The most important use many farm
ers make OF the records OF cash re-
ceived and paid out is as a means of
checking up bills when sent In to see
whether all payments have been duly
credited. While this alone Is only a
small part Of the value which can be
derived from such records. IL will fire.

1t goes almost without saying that
this Is a most distinctive farm home
and one that will insure large amount
Of comfort and satisfaction to the
farmer. his wife and especially his chill
dren. The girls and boys have real
home In which to entertain their
friends. There Is electric light, run
