Early Gains Are Cheapest

Definite figures have been obtained
by the Missouri Experiment Station,
to lrove the general experience that
early gains on hogs are cheapest. In
1921 an investigation was conducted
to find what was the relation between
the amount of feed consumed by swine
and the quanty of pork produced.
Pigs weighing 100 pounds each were
placed on ration of corn shorts and
tankage and grown to weigh 800
pounds. One pig was killed and anal
yzed at the beginning. and others at
weights of 200 and 300 pounds. All
pigs were fed the same ration and
kept in dry lot, so the exact amount
of feed consumed could be determined.
In this was it possible to estimate the
grain required per pound gain in live
weight, in fat and in lean meat.
The result agreed with general ex-
perience IN regard to weight, AS the
pigs became heavier, more feed was
required per pound gain. In going
from 100 to 200 pounds, 4.3 pounds
grain were required per pound gain,
while in going from 100 to 200 pounds
5 pounds grain per pound gain were
required.
1t was somewhat surprising that as
the hogs became heavier, the amount
of feed consumed per pound gain of
fat became somewhat less. While the
pigs were going from 100 to 200
pounds, 1913 pounds feed were con-
sumed for each pound of fat gained,
and in growing from 100 to 300 pounds
9.3 pounds feed were consumed per
pound fat gained.
In regard to the production of lean
meat, the results were more favorable
to the lighter hogs. In gaining from
100 to 200 pounds, 1875 pounds feed
were required for each pound gain in
lean meat, and in growing from 100
to 300 pounds, 20 pounds feed were
required for each pound of lean meat
gained The result indicated that
when heavy grain ration is fed, lean
meat is not produced economically af-
ter weight of 200 pounds is reached,
while fat is produced most economical
ly from the point up to and beyond
300 pounds.

Special Grand
Jury Ordered

After closing the special term Of
circuit court this week, Judge Huck
ordered another grand jury to be
summoned for the next term Of circuit
court, which will convene Feb. 10th.
This course was decided upon owing
to the peculiar conditions which SUR
round the Killing of James Birchall
near Frankclay on the evening of De-
cember 10th. last.
While two are now under arrest for
that murder, it is feared that devel-
opments in the case will be difficult
to secure, owing to the fear of some
who might be able to give important
information regarding such killing
that they might be made to suffer
should they tell what they know. This,
The Times is informed, is the reason
for the ordering of another grand ju-
ry at this time, as there was u sew
eral weeks grand jury session at the
last term Of circuit court. AS infor-
nation given the grand jury is sup
posed to be absolutely secret, it is the
thought Of Judge Huck in making this
order that such body will be able to
secure more information in regard to
the killing of young Birchall than
could otherwise be obtained.
The County Court will perhaps se-
lect the grand jury at their regular
monthly meeting, which convenes next
Monday.

forms" the eenturies-old terraces still
hold the soil in place.
Even in the United States, terrac-
ing has been in practice for more than
one hundred years. Briefly stated, a
system of Mangum terraces consists
Of a series of broad, smoothly crowned
ridges, about fifteen inches high,
which carry at slight slope-never
more than six inches in one hundred
feet--the water in the channels above
them to suitable outlets. Mangum ter
races can be constructed simply and
at slight expense with a road grader,
bitches, or homemade drag, much as
dirt road is crowned The construc-
tion cost per acre varies from one to
two dollars and the upkeep averages
twenty-five to fifty cents.
There is much land that is being
farmed in st. Francois county that
would be greatly benefited by terrac-
ing. The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau, realizing this, is adopt
ing terracing as one Of the projects
to be worked on the year Of 1922. In
every school district Of the county are
farms on which soil could be saved by
terracing. Demonstrations have been
staged in many communities in the
county. 1t is we'll worth farmers
time to make visit to one of these
fields and see these terrace dams. Here
is list Of farmers who have construc-
ted one or more dams: c. |. Garrett,
Bismarck; Ed Powers, Bismarck; Of
to West, Bismarck; John Werner,
French Village; VIM. Mund, Hazel
Run; Robert Booth, Salem; Chas.
Hopkins, Pennington, Route A; H.
Chandler and c. G. Schuttler. Unity
district; G. C. O'Bannon, Knob Lick;
and Chas. Covington, Cross Roads.
Some requests have come in for
moro work of this kind If anyone is
interested III this, see the County
Agent and plans will be made for this
work at some suitable time.

Big Law Suit
Heard Here

Judge Peter Huck convened spe-
cial term Of circuit court here Mon
day morning, for the purpose of hear
ing case wherein Samuel r. May
nard is plaintiff and the st. Joe-Doe
Run Lead Co. is defendant. The is
sues in this case date back to about
1906, and involve several millions &C
dollars. The points at issue appear to
be somewhat technical, and The Times
will make no effort to elucidate them,
as the only local Importance in the
case is the fact that it originated in
this locality and is being heard here.
Another noteworthy development in
this hearing is the large amount of
eminent legal talent that is employed
in the hearing. While <. A. Rozier is
actively in charge of the defense, he
is being assisted by Albert C. Wall, a
celebrated attorney of New Jersey, n,
N. Kirby of St. Louis, and Mr.. Ashley
of Kansas City.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Maynard, is rep
resented by H. M. Langworthy, of
Kansas City, who has demonstrated
his ability to handle this case in a sat
isfactory manner to his client. He is
assisted by A. L. McCauley, of Car
thage. The fact has been developed
in this hearing that the plaintiff is
perhaps the largest stockholder in the
great corporation that is defending
the suit. Herndon Chubb, another of
the large stockholders, of New York
City, was here this week as witness.
This visit proved to have been his first
to the lead belt, in which he has such
large holdings.
The taking of evidence was complet-
ed Wednesday evening, the plaintiff
being the principal witnes, and was on
the stand most of two days. He
proved his ability to take care of him
self throughout the gruelling cross ex-
animation, making his contentious
perfectly clear. 1t was then agreed to
hear arguments in this case on March
9Th, after which court was adjourned.

G. N. Baker, who has been in charge
of the Standard Oil station here since
it was established more than a year
ago, has been relieved of that work,
for the stated reason that they were
putting in younger men in those plac-
es. While the manager in this terri
tory told Mr.. Baker that his work
had been entirely satisfactory
throughout his service with them,
his discharge from that position, he
stated, YVES wholly on account of the
company's plan to install younger
men. During his service Mr.. Baker
has devoted about fifteen hours of
every twenty-four hour day to his
work for the company, and his many
friends are inclined to feel that he has
not been treated right in this matter.
He and his good wife have been so
anxious for him to make good that
she has carried to him each day two
meals, in order that he might be con-
stantly on the job during his long
hours of work. If the statement of
the manager is true, that his services
have been entirely satisfactory, then
it does not seem either right or fair
that he should have been relived in
such manner.

er. Now, while there is still time to
plan for garden, is the time to pre-
vent this food famine of next year.
After the long winter months, ev-
eryone Graves crisp green food and
these are the first seeds we SOW: let
tuce, radishes and onions. Then we
plant for the summer days. Too Of
ten we do not, in laying out gardens,
think of the late winter and early
spring weeks when "it is so hard to
find anything to cook" In forecast
ing gardens, there must be three very
definite things in mind.
l. Plat for the summer season
when family can practically live
from the garden.
2. For the early winter, when it is
possible to have variety from the root
vegetables stored.
3. Lastly, for the late winter
months, when the stored vegetables
have lost their crispness and fresh
ness and it is still too early to have
the fresh things. The easiest way to
meet this third provision is to plant
for a surplus of summer vegetables
which are to be canned and dried for
winter use. The women whose
shelves are thus stocked are not
among those who wall, 81 can't find
anything to eat"
Avoid Catching Cold
Common Colds" are due to germs,
and colds of this kind are usually
spread by contact--spread by spray
from the nose and throat of persons
with colds.
Keep away from persons with a
cold.
Don't sneeze or cough without COW
ering your mouth with handker-
chief An old cloth or paper napkin
makes a good handkerchief for a cold
as they can be burned.
Don't spit on the floor or sidewalk.
When cold seems to be severe and
aggravated in character as is some
times said, "heavy on the chest, the
family doctor should be called at once.
The line between a cold of this kind
and an attack of pneumonia is hard to
distinguish. 1t is important that you
should have medical advice early.
Most cases of pneumonia start with a
cold, and many cases of tuberculosis
are the direct result of whooping
cough and long standing cases of
tband cold with cough"
The season is here when pneumonia
is getting in it's deadly work. Avoid
stuffy overheated rooms in your
homes, schools, churches and places
of amusement. All you need do is
spend an hour or so in close, over
heated, badly ventilated room with a
person who already has bad cold
and you will soon develop one as Sc
we're or more so than the person from
whom you got your infectin. Avoid

learn of their removal to Dallas, Tex,

that territory the Independent Pack

left the last of the week for his new
field of work, where it is hoped he
will find everything to his liking and
profit. Mrs. Chinn and daughter will
remain for the present with her ia

What About Chineh Bugs7

Mr.. Farmer, did you know that one
day spent this winter, or early spring
in burning the chinch bug harbors
and another day spent in getting. or
aiding your neighbor to do likewise,
may save you may bushels of corn
next summer? A day spent this
spring in burning, is worth an untold
amount to you, if you have chinch
bugs on your farm and am afraid
many of you have. You may be trust
ing to the weather to kill them, but |
would rather trust some fire. Why
not supplement the weather man with
a little kerosene and matches rightly
applied? Remember, one female
chfnch bug killed this winter or early
spring may mean about 10000 less to
eat your corn next summer.
If chinch bugs were present on the
farm last year, the chances are that
some are there in hiding now. 1t
might be we'll to make thorough
search for them and start a fire cam
paign against them. If you are in
ferested in putting on campaign in
your community, or on your farm, you
can receive help by calling phone 445,
or coming to the Farm Bureau office.

Terraccs Save FERTILITY.

Erosion in one season often robs
the soil of more fertility than can be
put back by turning under several
crops of clover; according to Patterson
Balm, Jr., of the Missouri College of
Agriculture. Plant food is annually
washed away in greater quantities
than required to produce g bumper
crop.
To stop this waste is simple. The
method was understood thousands of
years ago in many parts of the world,
in Europe, China, and South America
