The Fire Cracker Industry
When the town clock struck
twelve on Christmas Eve-although
it was Sunday night-the people be-
gun to shoot off fire crackers with
exceeding diligence and zeal. This
fire cracking performance begun
about the middle of the week, abated
only for Sunday, and on Christmas
| day it was going on hour after hour
What there is in it may be plain
to wiser people than myself, but
| cannot, for the life of me, see how
it contributes to anything but waste
of good money, and some danger to
person and property. If all the re-

Somewhere along in the '70's my
little family were in Washington City
during the holiday season. Congress
| adjourned for about ten days, but
the railroad expense was so much
greater than our board bill in the
city, we decided to stay over.
When I purchased gifts for our
little boy of seven years, I, in COM
mon with the rest of the folks, added
little toy pistol. I called to see
Hon. A. H. Stephens in his parlod on
my way to our rooms in the same
hotel and showed him the little tricks

The aged statesman preached for

toy fire arms for a chap of that
age. OH said he, HE will catch

icated on q proper bass. Too often
the farmer does not consider the
market demand He thinks thai
whatever he has to sell ought 10
command ready price. There are
few people in this country, however,
who want a twenty-five pound ham.
Most people want one which only
weighs half that much. Let us see,
therefore. what the market demand
for hogs may be and try to produce
and offer for sale the type of ami
NAL that will best meet this require
ment. If we do this, there will be
a ready sale for our pork products.
The consumers are demanding
cuts from a hog which weighs about
two hundred pounds. The packers
are demanding this size hog not only
because the consumer is, but be-
cause hog of this size is mucn
more easily handled. Now. how
about the farmer who is raising
hogs? Is it going to be profitable
for him to sell hogs which weigh
about two hundred pounds? From
every viewpoint, a hos at this
weight is also the most profitable to
the farmer. a young hog makes
better use of feeds. The following
example illustrates this point very
clearly: A hundred pound pig will
eat about four pounds of grain daily.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
Y. ANDREW N. SOULE

One pound of this grain goes to
maintain his body, while the other
three pounds goes to make more
pork. Compare this with a three
hundred pound hog. A three hun
dred pound hos eats about six
pounds of grain daily. Three pounds
of this goes to maintain his body,
and only three pounds are left to
make pork. This means that IS per
cent of the grain eaten by a hun
dred pound pig goes to make pork,
while only so per cent of the grain
eaten by three hundred pound hog
goes to make gains.
When a hog weighs two hundred
mounds. he is just beginning to get
less efficient as a machine for turn
ing out grain and waste products
into pork. So, why is not that the
best time for the farmer to get rid
of him?
The market pays from cent to
two cents more per pound for light
hogs than they will for the heavy
hogs. Again, this is in the farmers
favor.
The packer and the consumer both
plainly stated the size of hog they
prefer, and, since this size of mar
ket hog is most profitable to the
farmer. he should by all means sup
ply the public's wants.

Fighting Indians

1t has all been counted up and re-
corded in black and white, and we
Americans were in combat with the
redskins for .116 years before we
arrived at condition of established
peace.
Four men prominently connected
with, Indian wars reached the presi-
Dental office. These were William
Henry Harrison, Andrew Jackson,
Zachary Taylor and Abraham Lin
coin.
George Washington, too, had ex-
periences with Indians in colonial
times. William Henry Harrison's
beginning was in 1900, when Presi-
dent John Adams appointed him to
be governor of Indiana Territory.
Tecumseh was the great outstanding
Indian chief of that period. The
latter denounced treaty made by
Harrison with friendly Indians,
where 100000 acres of land on Wa
bash river were sold to the whites.
In 1911 the Indians became obstrep-
erous and Harrison sent word that
he would clean them up. Thus came
along the battle called Tippecanoe.
Although child of five years in
1910, 1 can remember Harrison's
campaign, with the slogan of Tippe-
canoe and Taylor, too"
Zachary Taylor defended Fort Har-
rison in September, 1872. This little
battle was supplemented by other
battles in Mexico. So Taylor reached
the White House in 1S4S.
Andrew Jackson came along as an
Indian fighter in 1894. He seized
ST. Marks and Pensacola, in Florida.
He hung two English marines, Ar
buthnot and Ambrister, for iAciting
Indians. Some of my husbands aged
kinfolk told me seventy years ago of
seeing these Englishmen hung on
the yards arm on a Spanish vessel.
There was another Seminole war as
late as 1912 in Florida, Georgia and
Alabama. Andy Jackson went into
the White House as one of our great.
est Indian fighters.

Hawk war in 1882. There were con-

Peter Rabbit was wishing very
foolish wish. Yes, sir, he was wish
ing a very foolish wish. He was
wishing that Old Mother Nature had
given him something which in her
wisdom she had seen fit not to give
him.
eff only had a voice, q loud
voice." said Peter to himself, Il
could call and perhaps then 1
would get an answer. 1t may be that
the one who has been doing all this
chirping here in the cedar swamp
doesn't know I am looking for him
If he did know he might wait for
me, instead of moving about so
much. But haven't any voice, SO
how can 1 let him know"
Right then an idea came to Peter
"TIow simpler exclaimed Peter
"Why didn't I think of it before?
I'll signal with my hindfeet. Every
body knows my signal. If he hears
it he will know l am here. If he
really is my old friend 1 am sure
he will come looking for me. If he
is some joker, initiating the voice
of my friend, he won't come. A sig
nal with my hindfeet will be quite
as good as a voice"
So Peter sat down and waited I'M
til he again heard that mysterious
chirp. Then he thumped with his
hindfeet with all his might. There
was very little snow where Peter
was sitting and that thump could
be heard quite distance. He
thumped twice, then listened eager
ly.
Almost at once there was an an
swering chirp. Peter thumped again.
He was answered at once, and this
time the chirp was nearer and it
seemed to him that there was eager
ness in the sound of it. Again he
thumped and then hoped out into
little open space that he might
more easily be seen.
For a couple of minutes all was
still Then he heard the fit of
wings and a bird alighted in the top
of a small cedar tree very near him.
For just a second Peter couldn't
find his voice. Although he had half
expected to see just what he did see
it had all the time seemed so impos-
sible that it was now hard to believe
his eyes.
Welcome Robin" exclaimed
Peter. "It-it-it really is you, isn't
it? Welcomed" he added.
Hello, Peter! Who else should it
be-" cried Welcome Robin, for that
is who it really was.
I'LL don't know" confessed
Peter in some confusion. when
first heard your voice L thought il
was you, but L couldn't believe it
could be-"
We'll, it is" laughed Welcome
Robin, land l certainly am glad to
see you. I never was more lonesome
in all my life. When I heard you
thump 1 was feeling too lonesome
to live. What were you humping
for?"
Il was humping in the hope that
you would hear me and come look
ing for ms just as you did. I had
heard you chirping, and had tried
and tried and tried to find you and
couldn't. At last I thumped, think
ing that if it was really you you
might look for me-" replied Peter.
Nov, tell me, why aren't you down
in the S'inny South"

The prize winners are Mae Stub

gain in weight followed the rules,
and expects to keep it up.
The boy winning is D. H. Hill,

steadily, and like Mae, 1 hope, will
keep the good work up.
Both Grace and Corinne Hill de-
