Hog Fattening, Is
Belief Of Expert

A new record in hog fsttening Is
about TO be made at Pauls Valley, c.
Clark, livestock specialist from the Ok
lahoma A. and NJ. College declares.
1t is believed that 80 head of hogs
which are now being fsttened at
Pauis Valley win weigh on an average
of from 25O TO 300 pounds ut the age
Of five months, Mr.. Clark said.
Up 10 the time the animals weighed
- pounds, they were fed shorts and
Skinned milk. Now, they are being
fed corn and alfalfa. If they con-
tinue at the present rate Of develop
ment, the herd will average from 25o
10 300 pounds per head. the specialist
declared.
Special precsution to keep the hogs
from getting worms is being taken.
Mr. Clark said. and the fact that they
have not suffered an attack from this
pest is given as one Of the principal
reasons for the rapid growth The anil
mails have made.

INCREASE OF BETTER sIRES
During Last Quarter of Year Many
Persons Have Done Away With
Scrubs and Grades.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The Better Sires-Better Stock"
campaign, inaugurated by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the autumn of 1919 to stimulate the
replacement of low-class breeding amt
mails with purebred sires and improved
females, has gone ahead with in
creased impetus in recent months In
spite of depression in the farming and
quarter year ending September 30, S94
persons were enrolled as having done
away with all scrub and grade or
crossbred sires and having determined
to use only purebred sires henceforth
for all classes of stock raised. This
shows a promising increase over the
two preceding quarters In which TIA
and 1893 persons, respectively. were
enrolled. There was a corresponding
gain in 10Th animals and poultry re-
ported by these owners, the COM
bined total for the three months
reaching 10S,906.
One Of the encouraging develop
ments Of the campaign Is the spread
of this improvement idea throughout
the country. Farmers and breeders
of all kinds in nearly all the states
are signing the pledge to eliminate
poor blood In their herds and fiocks.
The leading state in the number Of
new members for the last three
months was Virginia, with 2S7. Ohio
was a good second, with 259, and ex-
ceeded Virginia by a considerable
margin In the number of animals and
poultry pledged to be bred only to
purebred sires. Nebraska was third,
with 1853, and Kentucky fourth, with
145. Oklahoma, the mex in order, al
though having comparatively few
signers, showed a widespread interest,
with 10 new counties Joining the
ranks.
Belmont county, Ohio, led the coun-
ties in the country In the progress
made during the last quarter. with "a
new signers. Hardin, another Ohio
county, had As, and Licking county 80.
Six counties in Virginia had more than
20 each. Three counties in Kentucky
had more than 25 each. and three in
Nebraska each exceeded 20.
In the two years that the campaign
has been in progress 1O2.437 cattle
have been listed by men who have
signed the Better Sires-Better Stock
pledge; also 1929 horses, 493 asses,
1887 swine, 1921 sheep. 2,7S9 goats,
and 404,7 ut poultry have been listed.
This makes a total of 643,943 animals

TEST FOR INDUCTION COIL
Simple Way to Find Out II the Sec
ondary Winding is in Good
Condition.

To test the secondary winding of
an induction coil onnec a volt meter
and a six-volt storage battery to the
secondary terminals. The voltmeter
should be connected in series, that is,
break the wire leading from battery
TO coil and attach each terminal of
the voltmeter to an end Of the wire
that is broken. If the current will
not flow from the battery the winding
is open. If the winding Is In good
condition the voltmeter will show a
reading of half the storage battery
voltage.
