Raggedy Andy was

Raggedy Andy was a prisoner in the house of the funny old man; he hung by his waist from a pot hook.
 Raggedy Andy did not see the pot hook when he jumped down the funny old mans chimney to unlock the front door.
 And when Raggedy Andy's waist caught upon the pot hook, all Raggedy Andy could do was to hang there and wiggle and twist about.
 And when Harry Hoolygooly and the nice fat policeman knocked upon the door and told the funny old man the policeman had come to arrest him, the funny old man made fun of the nice fat po- liceman.
 It took Harry Hoolygooly a long time to coax the pO- liceman to change his mind, for the old man had made him 50 an. gry the policeman said: i've a good mo- tion to arrest you just for snifa io

REDUCE DEATH LOSS
IN SHIPPING HOGS

At nine Of the principal live stock
In 1922 there were received total OF
28,375 dead hogs and 3S,708 in more
or less crippled condition. Very re-
cent reports from the yards at Denver
show that the losses there during the
past two weeks have been extremely
heavy, five or six dead hogs In car
being nothing uncommon, and In one
instance thirteen dead hogs wers
| found In one carload.
In eliminating the losses the first
thing, of course Is to get at the cause.
The minimum load for a freight car
is 1900 pounds. In the case above
where there were thirteen dead hogs
in the load, at the point of origin
this load weighed $4,000 which is 1000
pounds in excess Of the maximum al
lowed by the Insurance companies.
The insurance company, of course, re-
fused to meet the loss because the
car was loaded In excess of their
specified maximum In most of the
cars coming into the Denver yards
with dead hogs the cars we're over
loaded, so that overlooking is with
out doubt one of the principal
causes of loss in shipping.
There are other factors which cause
losses in shipping during hot weather.
Overlooking at time of loading Is
without question important. A hog
with an empty stomach has q much
better chance of reaching the market
In good condition than one that has
had full feed just before being load
ed. Hogs which are over filed are
very apt to become overheated and
get sick. If the weather is warm. II is
better TO feed a little less at the last
regular feeding period before loading.
The shipper should see that the car
10 well cleaned out, especially II 1t has
manure In II as manure Is very liable
to be q cause Of q great deal Of heat
In the car. After the car Is well
cleaned, II should be bedded down
fine gravel; cinders are also good but
possibly not as cooling in the summer
as sand OF gravel. Before loading
the bedding should be well wet down.
Ice in gunny sacks hung in the CEN !
ter of each kalf Of the car will also |
help to lower the temperature.
When loading hogs in the summer
time keep in mind that the greatest
cause of death Is due TO overload
Ing II is better to load little I'M
der the 1900 pounds minimum rather
than over It'll. Fl. Smith, assistant

Tankage VIII Increase
Rate of Gain in Hogs

During the summer of 1923 80 hogs
were carried on a To-day feeding test
by the University of Nebraska to de-
termine II tankage Is necessary when
good alfalfa pasture is available. The
Sc pigs. weighing around CT pounds
apiece. were placed in separate lots.
Two lots were seeded to- alfalfa and
the third was dry.
The highest daily gain per head was
made I'm the alfalfa lot that received
shelled corn and tankage. The gain In
that lot was Ia pounds as compared
with 65 pounds In the alfalfa lot re-
ceiving no tankage and 125 pounds In
were fed.
The feed cost per 100 pounds of
gain ran highest for the pigs on al
falfa that received no tankage and
lowest on the alfalfa lot fed tankage.
The three lots ranked as follows: AL
falfa, shelled corn and tankage. SSH;
dry lot, corn and tankage. $500; al
falfa and shelled corn. $3.50. Prices
at that time on corn were 70 cents
bnshel: tankage s65 ton. and pas
ture. one-half cent day.
The pigs In the lot which received
no tankage practically DESTROYED the
alfalfa by roofing. while those receiv-
Ing tankage and alfalfa did not root
at ALL II was found that tankage
greatly Increased the rate of gain, re-
duced the cost of 100 pounds gain and
saved the pasture.
