Thus to deserve from all mankind

diseases in the eleven cornbelt states
for the year show an increase of 22.6
per cent owe losses in 1921.
/ The department points out that in
creased production does not necessar-
lily mean an oversupply or decline in
prices. Total receipts of hogs at all
public stock yards during the first
eleven months of 1922 were 5 per cent
more than in 1921. During the last
four months of 1922 the increase to-
tailed nearly 20 per cent. The number
of hogs slaughtered under Federal
inspection during the same period was
~ per cent more than in 1921 and the
total carcass weight Of pork and lard
resulting from this slaughter shows
an increase of 461, 246, 900 pounds for
the eleven months. Despite these
increases, cold storage holdings of
pork and lard averaged considerably
less than during 1921 and average hog
prices at Chicago showed an advance
of Tic per hundred pounds over 1921.
The Departments explanation for this
situation is that improved industrial
and economic conditions resulted in
an increased consumptive demand
and a much freer current movement
of pork and lard into trade channels.

INCREASE In LITTERS OF PIGS
NARROWED AND IN NUMBER
or SOWS BRED

The number of filters of pigs far
rowed in the United States during the
fall of 1922 was 1876 per cent greater
than in the fall OF 1921, according to o
survey made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in coopera-
ton with rural mail carriers. The
number of pigs saved per litter was
ST. compared with six pigs per littei
in the fall of 1921. For the eleven
cornbelt states the survey shows an
increase Of 27.S per cent in number
OF filters farrowed last fall compared
with a year earlier and 6.1 pigs per
litter saved compared with SIS pigs
saved up to July / from the spring
crop of 1922 and SO pigs saved from
the 1921 fall filters.
The number of sows in the United
States bred to farrow during the first
six months of 1923 will be 13 per cent
more than the number which actually
narrowed in the spring of 1922 pro-
vided farmers carry out their inten-
tons as indicated in the survey. In
the eleven Cornbelt states the survey
shows an intention to breed 1876 per
cent more sows than a year ago.
Most OF the Southern States show
an actual decrease IN prospect for
1928. The probable increase in. far

DOys AND GIRLS CLUBS

Now that County Agent work in
Hand County is certain to continue,
every effort will be made to pick up
the odds and ends where the work
left off and vigorously pushed to a
successful conclusion. ~
1t is very necessary at this time
that the boy and girls wishing to en-
roll in any phase of the club work
should get their cards in. Enrolment
cards will be forwarded to any com
.munity where there are five or mor
young people wishing to take up the
work. Eight girls clubs are already
organized and have started on their
program of work for the year. Seven
of these are sewing clubs and one is
a food club. Prospects are bright
for several others.
Boys clubs will be organized in
corn, potatoes, baby beef, baby pork
and poultry if the latter is desired
Several bows who enrolled in the baby
beef club last fall have kept on feed
ing and now have their calves in very
good condition to begin feeding for
the finishing. II is not too late to
feed a baby beef. While the ten
months period would give the feeder
a better opportunity there is still
time to successfully finish a calf that
has gone through the winter in good
condition. Any boys wishing to take
on Che feeding of a baby beef hould
get i'm touch with the county agent
at once.

COUNTY AGENT WORK con.
TTNTES

Farm Bureau Directors and leading
Hand County farmers met in the Coun-
ty Farm Bureau office Saturday, Jan
uary 18th to check returns on the
drive for funds TO carry on county
| agent work. Though final returns
were not in, funds were sufficient to
warrant continuing the work and it
was so ordered by the Directors. One
interesting fact brought out in the
drive is the number of farm families
represented on the subscription list.
Three hundred and ten names now
appear on the township lists outside
Of the town subscribers. In addition
there are several townships yet to
report. The town lists have not yet
been completed.
The Farm Bureau Directors will
meet again Saturday, January Goth to
outline and agree on the program of
work to be undertaken during 1923.
This is educational work taken up
unier a cooperative agreement be-
tween the Hand County Farm Blu
reau, the South Dakota State College
Of Agriculture and the States Rela-
tons Service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The program of work
will include Cooperative Marketing
of livestock, wool and seed; Economic
crop production inrluding cost of pro-
ductiOn studies and farm record keep
ing: Live Stock Improvement; Poul-
try Improvement; Home work for wo-
men including food demonstrations
Boys and Girls Club Work; Crop i'm
provement with particular attention
TO seed ~certification; Weed Eradica-
ton; Farm Drainage; and other edu-
cational work bearing primarily on
the Improvement of the farm business
with the ultimate aim of making 1t
more profitable.
The necessity for educational work
pertaining directly to the farm bust
ness was recently brought very forci-
bly, to the attention OF farm leaders
when il was discovered that not more
than 2 per cent Of farmers have ever
had any preparation for their business
of farming other than what they re-
ceived from their parents or what was
handed down in the natural inter
course with other farmers in the
neighborhood. What If American
manufacturers and other business
men of this country had been salts
field to develop in this way? Edu-
c%ational work among farmers can pro-
gress only as fast as the farmers
| themselves are willing for II to pro-
gress.
Next weeks Issue will carry the
program of work as finally adopted.

Meat COOkery-Tough meat can
never be made tender by frying be-
cause the intense heat used simply
hardens the tissues instead of soften
ing them. Tough cuts should be- cook
ed slowly; albumin and fiavLr can be
extracted by soaking in cold water
over night; meat juice is best retained
in the cut by. rapid soaring, but the
inner part of the meat should be cook
ed at a much lower temperature.

Ice Harvesting

:. w. Talbot. the local ice dealer. fin
lshed his harvesting on Saturday. The
ice cutting season occupied eight and
one-half days and gave employment to
~ double teams and T5 men. The
work of preparing for the harvest this
year has been somewhat expensive as
several inches of snow ice had to be
planed off before the ice was suitable
Tor housing. The ice harvested is of
excellent quality and was cut in blocks
22X2SX13. In Mr.. Talbots house and
stacks some $500 tons have been stored.
In addition the Talbot crew has filled
the house at the steamboat wharf
which contains about 200 tons: - ions
nave been put in the refrigerator of the
Gardiner Beef Co. and about 49, tons
in Hazards.
There Will be no ice harvested nv

company which could be filled if do
