DON'T SELL sMALL PIGS.

10lN 0ELL 0mkALL E1N2S.
IT is mistake for any farmer, I'M
Tess forced by circumstances, to
sell small pigs or hogs not ready for
market. 1t has been noted with re-
greet that of the recent several car
loads of hogs shipped out of Sum-
ter county, a considerable proportion
was small pigs. And there have been
number of cars of feeders shipped
also. The selling of these animals
IS big mistake, for we have corn
and other feeds in more or less
abundance which cannot be sold
rrofitably as such and on which the
most can be realized only by market
ing II in sthe form of meat on. the
hoof.s This has long been known in
the middle west, and it is just as true
here, although apparently less well
recognized.
The Moultrie Observed comments
on the same topic intelligently as
follows
1t is waste to market the small
hogs now. A great many pigs, I'M
der one hundred pounds, are being
sold on the feet for much less than
their actual value. The owners of
these light hogs should understand
that there is no demand for such hogs.
The fresh pork trade is overrun and
small hogs cannot be made into cured
meats by the packers. To force them
onsthe market is not only to sacrifice
them, but they demoralize the market
and keep prices lower than they
would be if only the hogs Of packer
size were marketed,
Feed the pigs sixty or ninety days
and then sell them.
Here are some reasons for it.
."1st. They will gain enough in
weight to pay for the feed, and will
show profit besides in the pounds
they gain.
End. The number four hogs of to-
day, if fed until late in March or
early in April, will be number ones,
and they will sell at the top price,
whereas they now sell at the bottom
price.
"3rd. The chances are good for
an increase in price. Certainly il
may be expected that southern mar
kets will be higher just as soon as
the rush of mid-winter selling is
over.
"4th. There is an abundance of
cheap food in the country, and there
is q very poor cash market for it.
There is no better way to market it
.han through the pigs"

ganized an aviation company and
the government would not accept It..
Then he went TO Los Angeles and

He was sent TO France as n tester for

was made by Mcrrell Gage, Rotarian
OF Kansas City, Mo, a native To-
pekan. 1t was cast from plaster
moulded from life by an cN-service
man. 1t represents mans desire to
fly.
For many years now the Topeka
club has regularly spent a goodly
sum of money to keep boys in
school. The teachers in each school
are asked to provide the names OF
boys who do not have sufficient
clothing TO keep them warm and
the club sees that the boys have
warm underwear, shoes, suits and
overcoats so that they can attend
school regularly
