Twenty Per Cent Exported.
About rs per cent Of the hog meats
and lard slaughtered under federal
inspection on the average during the
past ten years has been sold for ex-
port. In 1922 only about 20 per cent
was exported, although clearances
were about 80 per cent larger than In
the years Immediately prior to the
war. Foreign countries undoubtedly
need large quantities OF hog products
as their hog population has not fully
recovered from the reduction during
the war and feed grain crops In Eu-
rope In 1922 were small. But fnan-
cial. Industrial and political condI-
lions abroad are such that It does not
seem advisable to count on larger
purchases In 1923 than In 1922. and
they may decline. The situation In
Germany. which Is one of the chief
buyers Of our hog meats and lard,
illustrates the uncertainty of re for

The hog Industry has been greatly
stimulated In the last IS months A.
result Of favorable hog-corn price
ratio. The quantity Of hog meats and
lard produced under federal inspec-
ton DUNG 1922 was the largest on
record.
Production Expanding.
The following estimates and sur.
veys made by the United States De
partment of Agriculture point to
larger production In 1923 than In
1929:
l. The number Of hogs being raised
for market on farms on September I.
1922. was estimated at IA per cent
larger than year previous. Receipts
at the seven leadin.; markets In the
last four months show an even larger
increase over the corresponding period
year ago.
2. The number Of filters farrowed
in the fall Of 1922, according to the
departments survey. was 1870 per
cent greater than In the fall of 1927.
An average Of 81 pigs were saved
per litter compared with pigs In
the fall OF 1921. Market receipts
during the spring and summer Of
1923 will be most affected by the
number of fall pigs.
8. The number of sows bred to far
row during the first six months OF
1923, the department finds, will be IL
per cent more than the number which
actually narrowed In the spring OF
1922 provided farmers carry out their
expressed intentions. These pigs win
begin to come to market in Septem-
Der and will comprise a large share
Of the receipts during the last quar-
ter Of the year.
Bad weather during the spring far
rowing period or an epidemic of hog
cholera or other disease may greatly
reduce the pig crop but barring such
accidents and assuming that the fore
going estimates of the Department Of
Agriculture are approximately cor
rect, we may conclude that the num-
Der Of hogs raised for market In 1923
will be about Is per cent larger than
In 1922.
Production was augmented in 1922
by carrying hogs to greater weight
than usual but the advance in corn
prices may check this tendency dur.
ing 1923 .lthough II has not done so
thus far.
Record Consumption.
Domestic consumption of hog meats
and lard slaughtered under federal
Inspection In 1922 as well as produc-
tion was the largest on record. II Il

about 80 per cent above the pre-war
average compared with ,u.ation

EPSON SALTS CHEAP REMEDY
Poultry Flock That Has Access
to Spoiled Feed.

EPSON salts Is cheap remedy to
keep on hand to help In toning up a
poultry flock that has had access to
spoiled feed. The occasional use OF
the salts is to help in reducing losses
from sour crop or Indigestion due to
overlooking. A hen that has been crop
bound is benefited by EPSON salts.
The usual dose is half a teaspoonful
for q mature hen. The salts can be
dissolved In warm water and poured
down the throat of the bird. Then you
know the hen has received the dose.
She may not eat enough of a mash
containing the salts. A flock can be
allowed TO go hungry about half day
followed by moist mash containing
epson salts for every bird.

The Blues


According to all figures, scienti-
fic data and physicians reports, Am
ericans are subject to attacks of "the
blues" more than the people of any
other country.
1.-THE blues" may be diagnosed as
a chronic state of being out of sorts.
out of tune with everyone and every
thing, yourself included. There are
melancholia, gloom, depression,
distinct lowering in mental tone and
poise, physical inactivity with or
ganic disturbances of the stomach,
liver and spleen. The feeling is one
apart from sorrow. The common
'blues" may be said to resemble sor-
row only as mist resembles rain.
The attack may be attributed to
being broke, to falling hair, jazz
music, unrequited love, taxes or
your mother-in-law.
"The blues" may be banished by
courage, patience and determination
to accomplish the task set for you.
Yours is a job worth having and
you can do it better than anyone
else. 1.-THE talent of success is moth
ing more than doing what you can

mind is a real tonic. Too many peo-
pie underrate the real value of giving
happiness as a positive health factor.
AS civilization grows, we seem to
depart more and more from the nat
ural ways of living. Our bodies to
function less automatically. We
seem to require attention like a ma

reason, sleep one-third of your time,
