TO DETERMINE MERIT OF HOGS
 BY EXPERIMENTAL BREEDING

Although there is a higher percentage of purebred hogs in the country than or any other class of live stock, there is still much room for improvement. And there is much to be known concerning the relative merits of scrubs, crossbreds,. and purebreds To make some of the points clearer the Animal Husbandry Division. of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, is starting a breed ing and feeding experiment that will contrast tke results of using scrub, crossbred and purebred hoars on scrub and crossbred sows. If appropriations provide sufficient money it may be that the effect of using crossbred and scrub boars on purebred sows will be studied.
 Ten crossbred sows. of various breed mixtures. and 10 scrub sows of the rag orback kind will be used. Half of each of those groups will be bred to pure bred boar; half of the first group will be bred to a crossbred, and half of the other group vii; be bred to a scrub. This same scheme of breeding will be carried on from generation to genera tion Some of the offspring will be fed ou and some of them will be kept for breeding before being fed out. Shoats from the different lots will be put in feed lots together and fed alike so that a fair comparison can be made. Some of these scrubs and crossbreds will be com pared in feeding trials with purebreds raised on the departments experimental farm at Betsville, Md. Some will be put into different experimental lots on various feeds.
 Nearly everybody thinks the purebred is superior to the scrub, but there is dis agreement among farmers about the merits of purebred and crossbred feed CTS. The department hopes that in due

PROPER STORAGE
--..- or rorAroEs

OF POTATOES
 Ventilation is necessary for potatoes just as 1t Is in the COW stable. Many farmers store their potatoes away in cellars in the fall and shut them in tight until spring. If no air gets in by chance heavy damage results. Potatoes which do not have proper ventilation during storage in winter will often become black hearted. This greatly reduces their value for the table and makes them less likely to sprout in the spring. If any considerable number of them are black hearted they are unfit for seed. This is often cause for poor stands of potatoes. e
 The best method Is to control the ven- tilation and, temperature, of the cellars in which potatoes are stored. The warm CT the cellar the greater, the need for ventila tion, but even with a cool cellar improperly ventilated will not keep po- tatoes in good condition. The ideal tenn perature for potato storage Is slightly above freezing, from 5s to 55 degrees. It is first class practice to- keep a thernometer in the: cellar and control the temperature by ventilation so far as possible. Open the windows when the temperature is slightly above freezing outside. Keep them closed at other times. If they are opened in the middle Of the day the warm air comes in and makes them too warm. If left open to- ward night there, is dangerous of chill ing the potatoes. Tn the fall windows may be opened, in the evening and kept closed during the day. This keeps the cool air in Sn1 potato pits seem to get along without any special venti'a- ton Large pie require some provision for proper ventilation.

BUMPED INTO BUILDING
Theodore O'Hare Lost Control
Of Auto; He Cut Up the
Porch

F. o. Miller and family and c. r.
Lutholz and family living in the Kron
fats at lis 1-2 and 113 1-2 North
Second street, were rudely awakened
from their slumbers this morning
about $3.50 o'clock, and for a time
thought that the house was struck by
"a cycloue. The fact was that Theo-
dore OHare, an ex- service man, who
boarded in the same building, was in
the act Of starting his Hudson car
out on the pavement, when he lost
control Of the machine. He stated to
The Free Press that the machine
would not take the gas and he step
ped on THE foot feed which caught
and kept feeding the liquid to the
spark. This caused the machine to
leap forward with a powerful bound
over the sidewalk and upon the dou-
BILE porch at the numbers mentioned.
The result was that the large porch
was cut off the building as slick as
il with a huge knife.
The porch came down with crash,
but luchily Mr.. O'Hare and a man
sitting in the car with him escaped
injury. Mr.. O'Hare at once secured
the services of carpenter to set up
the porch again. .

the project has been carefully con-
sidered, and the mass of practical
information on hand taken from the

institutions, this one should rank
among the foremost, and Mankato

will result In an increased popula-
ton.
