POLAND CHINA NEWS

In January, 1923, G. H. Harlan, OF
Wibaux, Dawson County, Montana
had fifteen acres Of White Flint corn
buried in a snow drift with no one
to husk 1t. Lewis Odland, Of Beach,
North Dakota, just over the line, had
thirty-flve pure bred Poland China
pigs with little or no feed to carry
them through. Mr.. Odland proposed
to hire his hogs to Mr.. Harlan to
husk the latter's corn, the considera-
tion being five per cent. Of the gain
put on the pigs.
The proposition was accepted. The
pigs weighed ALSO pounds when turn
ed into the corn field January s. Ten
were marketed March "a, and the
other twenty-five head were marketed
April 18. The total gain made by the
pigs during this time was 4765
pounds.
They were sold at $3.50 per cwt.,
returning Mr.. Harlan s2O.65 per acre
for the corn.
These pigs were from a registered
boar and pure bred sows, all Of which
were farrowed in June, 1922.
When they were turned into the
corn the snow was drifted up to the
tassels on the stock on the west side
Of the field, and from that down to
half way to the ears on the east side
Of the field. The field was eighty
rods from the shed provided for the |
pigs, and there was only one day dur
ing the feeding period when they re-
NAMED inside, and that day terrible
blizzard ragged throughout. Mr.. Har-
an fed them some ear corn that day.
As the snow began to melt in Feb
'uary and March, the ears on the
stocks began to appear, and by the
ime the snow had disappeared, the
:orn had disappeared also.
These pigs averaged 119 pounds
ach when turned into the field and
55 pounds each as they were mar
.eted, making an average gain Of 1.46 [
ounds per pig per day, while digging
heir food out of the snow. Their ]
My drink was cold water, hand fed t
vice daily by Mr.. Harlan. No tank t

stag making seventy pounds gain p
as turned into the field, and from f
Iarch 16 to April 18 there were two v

When Mr.. Harlan figured the profit IL

"THE HUNCHBACK" COMPLETED
Biggest Production Ever Filmed.
"Well, it's done!"

"Well, it's done!" 5. t.
With these three words, Director
Wallace Worsley dropped wearily
into a chair beside Mr.. Carl Laemmles
desk in the producers office in Uni.
versal City and the sigh Of relief
which escaped the lips Of both OF
these men proved that completion Of
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" IS
a great event in the lives of each.
And it certainly is. For over a
year the one thought uppermost in
Mr.. Laemmle's mind has been the
making of this photodrama-the COM
pletion of a classic which would sur
pass everything previously attempted,
not only at Universal studios, but also
at any other.
That this has been done is the un-
animous verdict Of those fortunate
enough to pre-view it and these same
critics admit most freely that it even
exceeds any ideas which they had
formed regarding it, these being based
on their knowledge Of the extremes
which the producer had gone in his
effort to make it a marvellous produc-
ton.
In the first place, Victor Hugo's i'm
mortal masterpiece is so replete with
dramatic action that never before has
there been a picturization of a work
Of fiction which lends itself so per-
fectly to this form Of drama. But
the main idea back Of Mr.. Laemmle's
intentions was that this motion pic
ture classic would be made on the
most lavish scale, scale which the
story truly deserved.
Accordingly, the best character ac-
.or of the day was secured for the
part of "Quasimodo," Mr.. Lon CLANCY,
and no expense was spared in the
total cost Of the COM
)leted production being over a mil
ion and a quarter dollars. A cast
If principals was then engaged which
sounds like who's who" in f1lmdom,
md in addition over three thousand |
rained actors were secured for the
genes which require them.
The huge reproduction Of the Notre |
Dame Cathedral is one Of the most |
perfect ever conceived. This, toge-
her with the other sets, cost over
Ialf a million dollars and there is
very reason to believe that when
The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is
hown to the public, it will astonish
with the dramatic quality
f the story, which has all been re-
aimed, the enormity Of the huge sets,
erfect in every minute detail, and
be hugeness of the cast, will make
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" the
reatest production ever attempted
he eliminating effort in Mr.. Laem-
lies desire te~produce a screen
rama which would go down in his
Dry as the greatest ever made.
This is exactly what has been done
18th 1.-THE Hunchback of Notre Dame"
D 1t is not remarkable that when Mr..
Tarsley announced its completion,
9th the director and the producer
mitted the deepest sighs Of relief.
"The Hunchback Of Notre Dame"
ill open at the Astor Theatre, New
ork City, on September 2.

Monday noon Keith, the four-year-
old grandson OF Mr.. and Mrs. o. H.
Hickenlooper OF Groveland, was found
unconscious In the barn, with a deep
cut in the forehead over the right
eye. The little lad was rushed to
Blackfoot, where he received medical
aid. Drs. F.. W. Mitchell and W. W.
Beck performed an operation. and
due to the fact that the skull was
crushed it was necessary to remove
piece Of bone about three inches
in length. While he is still in SER
ious condition he is getting along so
nicely that every hope is entertained
for his recovery. His father, who
has been working at Green River,
Wyoming, arrived today.

HIGH SCHOOL
OFFERS COURSE FOR
YOUNG FARMERS

The Agricultural Department Of the
Blackfoot High School offers practi-
cal courses in Farm Crops, Animal
Hisbandry, Dairying, and Marketing.
Anyone who can read and write, is
over fourteen years of age, and ex-
poets to be a farmer is eligible for
enrolment in the department. The
department is in charge Of an Agri-
cultural College graduate who has
had several years experience as q
working farm manager and as gov
ernment agricultural specialist. The
department has the cooperation ana
backing Of the state and federal gov
ernments with it's staff of agricultu-
raj specialists.
Farmers should urge their sons to
enroll for a course in Agriculture
because the day of the "hay seed" has
passed, and a farmer, to be success
full, must be a wide awake, intelligent
business man with considerable
knowledge of the science Of growing
and selling his crops.
Students trained in Agriculture arc
able to obtain remunerative positions.
The agricultural department last year
placed several students in good po-
sitions and had many opportunities
Of placing more.

FILTHY HOG YARDS COMMON
In Such Places Parasites Live Over
From One Year to Another
Disease Encouraged.

Hog yards In which manure and
filth, as well as refuse and mudholes
and wallows are permitted, are still
too common. In such yards lice and
worms live over from one year to
another, and many times cholera and
other diseases are kept on the
premises In this way. Hog yards
must be kept as clean as possible,
and above all be well drained. At
reasonable periods pillow them up and
put In some crop If possible; If not
they should be well sprinkled with
lime. II would be better still to
change the location of the yards every
year or so, but this cannot be done
unless the movable type of hoghouse
Is used.

MORE LEGUMES MEAN MONEY
Cornell Specialists Say There Is No
Better Feed Than Glover, Alfalfa
and Corn Silaee.

The best reason why dairymen
should use more legumes in feeding
their cattle Is because 1t puts money
in their pockets, say the specialists
on animal feeding at Cornell. They
say there Is no better basis for a dairy
ration than clover or alfalfa hay, and
good corn silage. The greater the ca
pacity of the cows for high-quality
roughage, the cheaper can milk be
produced, since the quantity of con-
centrates can be reduced.
Where low protein roughage Is fed,
the grain mixture will require GO per
cent of higll-protein and 40 per cent
of low-proteln feeding stuffs. With
high-protein roughage, the extra cost
on 20 per cent of high-protein feeds
made necessary by low-quallty rough
age is saved
Under favorable conditions the use
of legume roughage ought to reduce
the cost of production from II to %
per cent.
BY feeding" the soil calcium and
phosphorus, the mineral content of
pasture and forage may be doubled.
Through the use of legumes it Is pos
slble to maintain the mineral reserves
Of cows and young stock, and through
the variety and abundance of proteins
and other elements thus supplied, fur
nlsh the cheapest and most efficient
rations for both growth and produc-
ton.

RHUBARB, ONE OF
The BEST DISHES
Favorite Plant Thrives Best in
Sections Where the Ground
Freezes Solid.

In our grandmothers' time rhubarb

Of the year. Stewed rhubarb or rhu-
barb sauce Is one of the finest dishes
that grace our tables In the early
spring time, and enormous quantities
of the fresh stalks are marketed
throughout the northern and eastern
states.
Rhubarb does not do well In the
South. but thrlves best In sections
where the ground freezes hard and
solid during the winter.
Five to ten hills of rhubarb will sup
ply the ordinary family, says the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
but it is always desirable to plant n
few extra hills for good measure. The
plants may be set either In the late
fall or the early spring, but no stems

very few the second year. After the

Bert got into the purebred cattle

ping Law Needed.

Tentative plans to secure relief for
the live stock men of Louisiana
through an organization on the farm
bureau plan for furthering the work of
tick eradication, the establishment of
a marketing program and general i'm
provement in the types of live stock
grown were formulated at conferences
between cattlemen of the state and
representatives of the farm bureau
and extension department. A move
ment will be set on foot at once to es-
tablish the Farm Bureau Live Stock
association, it was announced.
Among other projects to be under
taken by the proposed organization is
q plan to make available loan of $4,-
100000. placed at the disposal Of Lou
isiana banks for the benefit of the live
stock industry In this state several
months ago, of which only $4,000 has
SO far been used, owing to the lack of
a definite program on the part of the
stockmen. 1t was pointed out that tick
eradication Is the first problem to be
undertaken, and that to make the
state-dipping law effective 1t is neces,
sary to create a definite sentiment
among the farmers of the state favor
ing the work, and that this can best
be accomplished by permanent or
ganization of the farmers and stock
men themselves.
@. H. Compere, acting as spokesman
for the stockmen, stated that the farm
bureau has the confidence of the farm
ers of the state and that its principle
Of organization on a business basis,

that 1t is the desire of the stockmen

roosts, nests and runways sprayed
with a concentrated lye solution you
will do great deal toward promoting
good health and productiveness among
your poultry.
Many of the most successful poultry
raIsers use this lye solution around
their poultry houses at least every
other week. The solution is made by
dlssolving small can of I've In five
gallons of water. A sprinkllng can,
hand spray, or an old whlsk broom
may be used to apply the solution.
