| Judging by past observation, we are
in favor of making alfalfa hog pas
| lures out of orchards. BY having di-

reason that the fruit grower has not

few empty barrels for vinegar. Many
carloads of hogs have been shipped
out of this vicinity during the past

held until the general cleanup was
made, transferring the surplus apples
into pork instead OF waste.
