Belview, Redwood county, Minnesota,
raised a pig on fifty by ifty-foot lot,
which was made grand champion bar
row over all breeds at the Junior Live
Stock show held at South st. Paul last
winter. By exercising good care, with
the aid Of a well-bred animal he was
able to overcome the handicaps OF
town, and win over ali pig club boys
and girls Of Minnesota.
His purebred Poland China barrow
weighed $50 pounds when he left home,

Milk Indispensable in
Feeding Young Chicks

1t is generally agreed that sour milk
or buttermilk should not be fed to
chicks in galvanized containers. When
fed, glass, porcelain or earthenware
utensils should be used. The Tactic
acid in the milk may act on the gal
vanized containers, resulting in a
chemical combination which may prove
poisonous, resulting in chick losses.
Milk is indispensable in feeding chicks,
and If properly fed there is absolutely
no danger in feeding it. Perhaps the
type of container has been responsible
for the occasional report of unsatis-
factory result in feeding milk. 1t is,
of course, necessary to keep the uteD-
siIS clean.

Pure Bred Sows Are Most
Efficient Pork Producers

Experiments conducted by state and
government stations all over the coun-
try have proven conclusively that pure
bred sows are more efficient pork pro-
ducers than grade or scrub sows. It
has also been proved on one of the
largest hog ranches in the Northwest.

Farmer Should Work Hard
to Keep Down All Weeds

This is the season of the year when
the farmer should work hard to keep
down weeds. They are more easily
killed now than later and the crops will
have a better opportunity TO keep the
weeds subdued Just before harvest
time is on in full blast the farmer
usually has a little breathing time in
which this work can be done before
the weeds have time to develop size
sufficient to resist ordinary treatment.

Feed Laying Hens Well
During Summer Season

On far too many farms the hens are
left tn shift for themselves, or per-
haps, If the owner feels particularly
generous, a little grain is thrown to
them. Though hens fed in this way
may produce well at the time, they
will not do well, or give profitable
production the next fall and winter.

Main Things Necessary
in Handling Brood Mare

The two main things necessary in
handling brood mares are feed and
moderate exercise. Wheat bran and
oats are the two best grain rations and
are better If fed together. Excessive

Steel and Wire Company, headed a
committee of five who met with
Governor McCray Tuesday. Governor
McCray said it was his duty to up
hold the State law against prize
fighting and referred the committee
to his action last year in stopping
the Jack Dempsey-Bin Brennan

Baugh said today that the commit

answer favorable to the fight today.
He said Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
manager. has had a representative

1t was twenty-three years ago. EN-
ployes are so crowded that their health
is endangered, and they are unable to
render the prompt and efficient service
which the public demands and for
which it pays. The work of the Office
Is about one year behind, and under
present conditions cannot be brought
up to date.
The employees are not only crowded,
but are wretchedly underpaid. Com.
pensation of the salaried employees re-
mains as it was about forty years ago
excepting for the bonus. The salaried
employees consist Of the recorder at
$4,000 per annum, deputy recorder at
S2,500, two clerks at $1,000 each, two
clerks at 5000, one clerk at $720 and a
janitor at $500, all the salaried en-
ployes, excepting the recorder, receiv-
ing the bonus of s240 year. While
the work has increased there has been
no increase in the number of salaried
employees since 1892.
The larger part of the Office force
consists of per diem and piecework
employees, and among these, through
no fault of Office management. verita-
BILE sweatshop conditions prevail. Com
pensation of the per diem employees is
$3.50 a day, 1t having been raised to
that figure from 50 a day in 1917. The
pay Of pieceworkers, who copy papers
into the record books and make certi-
fled copies, was increased in that year
from one-third to four-tenths of the
fee paid the office for recording. What
they earn depends on the calls made
upon them and on their industry and
speed. They do not receive annual
leave, sick leave nor the bonus. The
per diem employees receive the bonus,
which brings their pay to $362 and a
fraction cents a day, and they receive
neither annual nor sick leave. A day
from the office means days pay lost.
There should be a new building in
which the work of the office may be
done satisfactorily. and in which the
employees and the public doing busi-
ness with the Office may be comforta-

Three Token Sales Denied,

A plea for the establishment Of
car fare rate of three tokens for 20
cents has been denied by the Public
Utilities Commission. While no writ
ten opinion has yet been delivered,
1t may be assumed that the two con-
tentions Of the companies were accept.
ed by the commission. One of these
of tokens would slow up the service by
requiring conductors to make more
sales. The other was that the twenty
cent token rate would cut down the
number of cash fares, reducing the
revenues of the companies from that
source by so per cent.
1t is rather difficult to follow this
reasoning. In the first place, most
cash-fare payments of s cents per
person require the changing of coins
by the conductors. 1t really takes
longer to pass a cash-fare passenger
into the car than to sell him tokens
and let him drop one of them into the
hopper. For the cash fare consists of
1S0L PAONSo VI illoilCS I1l lt1SlJ d lIlChtl
and three pennies, whereas the token
is a single bit.
On the score of the reduction of the
revenues from cash fares the ques-
ton reverts to the original establish
ment of the fare rate of six tokens for
40 cents. That virtually sets, for the
very great majority Of passengers, the
rate of 2-3 cents for a car ride with
In the District. If that is a proper and
reasonable rate 1t should apply to as
many passengers as possible. The diff
ferential between that and the cash
fare rate is believed by many to be too
high, that a seven-cent cash fare
would be more equitable. The purpose
of making the differential as large as
1t is now, 13 cents, is supposed to be
to induce the people to buy tokens. If
that Is the purpose, why should not
the three-token sale be desirable?
The case is for the present decided.
Until the final written opinion is rem
dered. however, 1t may be regarded as
subject to reopening.

On Addressing Letters.

The Post Office Department and the
Washington post Office have tried in
many ways to have correspondents
use care in addressing their mail and
have issued many warnings that this
be done and many instructions as to
how it should be done. The number
Of letters put in the mails with in
adequate or incorrect addresses is
large. Whether the ratio of such let
ters to those properly addressed is
larger than 1t used to be and whether
there is Improvement in this respect
is not known, but the number of let
ters that find their way to the dead
list because it is impossible to deliver
them is still much too large. 1t is
said that the local post office receives
scores of letters every day SO ad-
dressed or unaddressed that carriers
cannot deliver them. The city post
master has caused to be displayed at
the post Office numerous specimens of
envelopes taken from the mails which
could not be delivered. Some are so
addressed as to be illegible, many
have no street address, and one speci-

The Recorders Office.

There are numerous reasons why
the coming Congress should make an
appropriation for constructing a build
ing for the office of the recorder of
deeds, a plan for which has already
been made. The sum needed was in
cluded by the Commissioners in their
estimates to the budget bureau.
Among the reasons is that the work
of the office cannot be carried on satis-
factorily in the present rented quar-
ters, and the owners of the building
will turn out the office unless the gov
ernment pays a higher rental. An inn
portant consideration is that this office
is self.supporting and turns in large
surplus to the Treasury every year
Since 1892 the Office has deposited
nearly 100000 as unexpended fees
and emoluments, which is approx
mately an annual average of $4,000.
Year by year the work of the office
grows, as does the surplus. An "earn-
ing" Of $43, ,004.44 was turned over to
the Treasury for the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1923. The growth of the office
may be seen in these figures: Total
receipts for the fiscal year 1900 were
$2S, 1896; for 1910, $42,9s5.32; for
1920, sS5,s65.09; for 1928, $120,9s7.74.
In twenty-three years the annual re-
ceipts increased nearly six times.
