that are pushed for market should be
fed from 4 to pounds Of feed daily

Pigs that were to be carried along
until later should be fed on the same
mixtures at the rate of 3 to pounds
of food per day for each 100 pounds

In case you are carrying pigs until

pigs may be weaned from eight to
twelve weeks of age. They should
weigh from forty to fifty pounds each
and be eating we'll at weaving time.
few weeks fore weaving, the pigs
sbould be taught to eat by providing
fod in a separate trough. The ration
for the young pigs should be good
quality wheat middlings or ground
oats (hulls seived out) made in to a
sloD. using milk If available. ~ few
davs before weaving, reduce the food
of the SOW. This will slow up the
milk flow. At the same time in
crease the food Of the pigs. BY this
method the pigs will scarcely notice
weaving and there is little danger OF
the sows udder becoming caked or
damaged.
After weaving, the method of feed
ing the pigs will depend upon your
plans. Pigs that are to be marketed
in a short time require heavy feed
ing. pigs that are to be carried along
and fattened later on peanuts or vel
vet beans and corn will not require
so much food. In either case, good
rye. rape, burr clover, Bermuda grass,
or other pasture should be available.

c1en,son College, April $50 much
ba,ne said and written about CO.
s. .;ve marketing Of farm prod
S.,t +,,at in the first article OF TINS
..;as On the subject, it is well to re-
,,,a1, briefly the problem which CO.
z,+,ve marketing is expected TO-
.,,va The problem may be stated
,n;s way: "How may the products
-, 4be farm be delivered to consum-
s,sr ore at the least possible cost for the
various operations involved in max
ing the delivery?" Or again this way
.Granted that the law of supply and
demand does fix the price which con-
sinners pay for any product. how
may the operations Of this law be
extended to the grower and be made
s fo ix the price which he receives for
the product, minus only the necessary
expense of distribution?"
There is a rather fixed opinion
among growers Of all kinds OF crops
that the law of supply and demand
has too many amendments and fioers
attached before it affects the price
they receive. If this is not true @hen
farmers are all mistaken, everything
is really all right after all, and thes
should simply admit that 1t IS 'thelE
(. busi1,.,s to produce and be conteh'
with their lot, allowing those VINO
knew how to supply consumers WIFI
farm products. Furthermore II the
law Of supply and demand IS hSlns
tho, nrice farmers receive, then there
are, only two ways oy which they can
hone to realize more from the sale OF
crous. These are CD by reducing
. their scale of living; CD by applylns
more scientific methods to products
an that the unit cost Of product1on
will be less. The first Of these the
southern farmer is disn1issing VIII
the observation that his scale OF NV
ing is already the lowest in the coun'
try and cites as evidence our percent
age of illiteracy, our expenditures
for schools, churches and all othe'
public institutions, our roads ou'
bank clearings and every baronete'
of prosperity to be found. AS to ths
second, they make no arsumen
against the application of more sclen
tif1c and economical methods OF pro
duction, but. on the contrary they ap
ply these methods wherever possible
and point with pardonable pride t'
!. the rapid strides that have been madf
in this direction. They are not Only
producing more per acre than eve'
before but are also producing more

making preparations to move to Provi-
dence, r. l.. where Mr.. Grefthen has
accepted call. Last Sunday he preach
ed his farewell sermon to the Norwe-
gian Evangelical Lutheran congrega-
ton of Edgerton. Rev. Grefthen came
to Edgerton as the successor of Rev.

ber This was his first charge. A num-
Der of new families have joined the
church since he came here, and the at

been uniformly satisfactory. Rev. and

Der of friends while they lived in Ed
gerton, and both his congregation and
the community will join in wishing them
success and prosperity in their new field
of labor. Mrs. Grefthen and the twins
are going to her parents at Mcfarland
to spend the month of August, and
Rev. Grefthen will make visit to his
home at Northwood, Iowa. Meanwhile
their household goods will be packed
ready for shipment east, and the fam
lily expect to be in Providence by Sep
tember lst. The Reporter has no in
formation as to what plans the congre-
cation has made, if any, to secure a
new man for the charge. A committee
of call has been appointed and it will in
due time report its recommendations to
the church.

 The New Year Is here. How many of us have turned a new leaf with its page filled with good resolutions, and how many of those resolutions will be fulfilled at the close of the year? Let each of us try to make our home life brighter, our com munity better, and lend a helping hand to our fellow man. It is a duty we owe ourselves, humanity and Christianity to do our best and do it evrey day. We don't have to be a hero or heroine to be something great. We can live a clean and hon. est life, do unto others as we would have them do to us. In this way we will be doing something great.
 Let us be thankful that we have been spared to see this, another new year, and for health, and prosperity, as a nation; thankful for a Christian nation, and good government, for we are living in the best country on earth. We are living, we are dwell ing in a grand and wondrous time. In an age on ages telling, to be living is sublime. So, by the help of God, let us do our best.
