Hospitals also come out of the class

Hog Prospects Bright
for 1925, Says Hubbard
BY c. NJ. Hubbard, Extension Spe-

BY C. M. Hubbard, Extension spe-
ciaIist, State College.
Hog prospects look better for the
coming year than they have for many
years past. Higher-priced hogs look
probable and the farmer who pro-
duces filters of pigs to market next
fall should have splendid invest
ment. Farmers must carry their brood
sows economically, however, with the
realization that false economy in feed
ing may result in Nore loss than gain.
Judging from this seasons pig
crop, the probable fall crop and from
the present attitude Of producers in
breeding for next spring, there are
apparently fewer hogs in sight next
year than at any time since 1920" is
the statement Of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
These conclusionus are based on
higher-priced grains, which have had
a strong tendency to restrict fall
breeding; low prices for pork during
1924 and the fact that the combination
of high-priced grains and low-priced
pork means that thousands of pigs
will reach the market Of the country
| in a alf-finished condition. This will
make smaller amount of dressed
pork available for home consumption
Hog receipts on the Spokane mar
ket for 1924 were SO per cent greater
than for 1923. This does not entirely
represent increased swine production
although there has been consider
able growth in the industry. Because
of the high fall and winter feed prices
many farmers have sold their breed
ing stock and half-finished pigs rather
than feed them high-priced grains an(
other concentrates.
Rations for brood sows should bt
carefully worked out to combine
economy and efficient feeding. Thu
ration should be bulky. Where alfalf'

should be furnished, either in a racl
or ground and mixed with the grail

Necessity of Knowing
Your Own Cows

Cow testing association records
show that in 1925 the average COW in

duces approximately 220 pounds of
butterfat per year. This 22O pounds
(. o. b. the farm will be marketed for
about one hundred dollars. Compar-
ing present feed prices with feed costs
for 1924 the feed bill for the average
COW will total about one hundred dol
lars. With the feed bill paid, the fer
tilizing value of the cow on the farm
the only compensation for the years
labor, housing, interest and deprecia-
ton.
Instead of depending completely on
market improvement an avenue left
open to the average cow owner in the
county is more butterfat per cow.
Instead of 20 COWS producing 220
pounds of butterfat per year with no
return above feed cost, 13 of the aver
age producers in the 1924 Cow Testing
Association will return the same total
of butterfat and pay $4,000 above the
same average feed cost
1t requires no figuring to show the
cost items of labor, expended housing
facilities, interest and depreciation
are less for 10 of the $40 pounds Of
fat produced than for 20 Of the 22O
class.
The average increase in the annual
butterfat production for all of the
herds testing two years continuously
for 1923 and 1924 was 14.8 pounds per
cow valued at $40. Explanation for
such increase is made by the absence
of the poorest producers which were
culled by their owners before the end
of the second year.
Getting acquainted with each COWS
ability for butterfat production anc
feeding each according to her ability
was factor that played an important
part in this increase.

vain for stars. When in the darkness
they found themselves approaching
some unknown shore and the roar Of
the surf close ahead warned them Of
rocks the sailors went into a panic
over the hopelessness of the situation
and determined to desert their COM
rades by slipping away in the life
boat. Paul's alertness saw that they
were needed in the difficult task of
navigating ship in the last stage of
the perilous journey and the Centur-
ion set the boat adrift. The soldiers
were no better when their tmie of test
ing came, for they would have killed
the prisoners lest their own skins be
put in peril by their escape. For
bonds must be loosed and criminals
are not always eager to resume them.
But steady old Paul saved the whole
ship by his influence and dauntless
faith. 1t was his faith that conquered
the fear of all the rest.
FAITH AND HOPE
Food and work were the prescrip-
ton that Paul gave the whole party
on that gray dawn in which they
faced the smashing of their ship on
the rocks just ahead. The Apostle
took the supplies that no longer need
ed to be husbanded and distributed
them to all in the ship, setting an ex-
ample himself by open praise and
hearty enjoyment. Then the grain
was to be unloaded that the snip
might ride as high as possible and SO
go farther up the beach. Busy with
this, with hunger gone and warmed
with their exercise they were in fine
mood for attempting the grounding
of the vessel Unfortunately they
ran on reef and the pounding Of the
waves began the destruction of their
bark 50 that they must trust to
wreckage for getting ashore. But
they were all confident with the con-
tageon Of faith from Paul's abun-
dance. No mention is made of his
love-slavcs but tho unnamed they
were a vital part Of it all, for Paul
was ever at his best when he had his
friends with him. They, too, were
cheer makers. And not a life boat

word was overruled. He had faith
enough but had foresight as we'll and
believed God preferred human care
fulness to human recklessness.
FAITH AND HIS FELLOWS
Hugging the coast line as closely as
possible they were pushed far out
from shore by a projecting headland
and it was just here that the storm
struck them and hurried them to the
open sea. Under the lee of a little
island they pulled in the one lone life
boat-cargo paid freight that extra
boats would have lessened-stopped
the leaks, took down the sail, put out
a drag and let her drift. Everything
movable went overheard. Somewhere
on board, drenched and physically
miserable, Paul and his love-slaves
were growing over being brought in
to such a fix by the fool-hardy captain
and crew. Not bit of it; they were
praying. Well, it was for themselves
and fine, outstanding Julius. Wrong
again. 1t included the captain, the
crew, the covering criminals who
cursed at their bonds-every man on
board was lifted into the hand that
holds the sea in its hollow and the
winds in its fist, for when the answer
came God gave call that sails with
thee" But praying was not complete
until up and down the wave-swept
deck; in and out of wet, shivering,
dispirited groups in every wind
searched spot in the vessel CHEEKY
words had been spoken and the spirits
braced for whatever the tossing sea
might hold. Faith that steadies only
its owner is the folly of a fool Quite
likely they did more than a bit of
their praying while on their minister
ing feet. Yet how human Paul was

FAITH AND FEAR
Fear is the arch-enemy Of the race.
It has done more damage than all
other ills combined and is still at the
heart of most things that go wrong.
The world war would never have hap
pened if faith had been in the Euro
pean saddle but unfortunately fear
was ruling in most of the chancel-
cries. Fear stalked, a grim spectre
upon this sodden ship in which even
hunger had failed. Day after day

late summer, and they were delayed

that they were consulting in the har-

more ways than one. He had two at

At Fair Havens they seemed at the
