PASTURES HELP MAKE
PROFITS FROM HOGS

Pastures and hogging crops are an
important aid to profitable pork pro
duction in Minnesota and are indis-
pensable when other feed is limited.
By proper planning it is possible to
have continuous supply of grazing
feeds from early spring until late in
the fall, says H. G. Zavoral, swine
specialist Of the agricultural extern
sion service, University Farm, St.
Paul.
In circular which Mr.. Zavoral
has prepared and which he will send
free to any hog producer, he states
that alfalfa, clovers, and rape are the
best pastures for Minnesota condit-
ions and points out that rotating and
alternating these crops aids in pre-
venting disease and increases the
carrying capacity of the pasture.
Nine different kinds of pastures
are listed in the circular mentioned
and table given showing how much
seed to plant Of each crop or combi-
nation, the period of year when it
will be ready for grazing, and the
number of pigs per acre that each
crop will carry. Six different crop
combinations for hogging off are list
ed and accompanied by similar
table of information.

WEEK DATES ARE SET

January 10 to "a are the dates
that have been set for the 1881 Farm
ers' and Homemakers' Week at Uni
versity Farm, according to DR.. A. v.
Storm, director of short courses.
Plans have not yet been decided de-
finitely, but it is announced that all
of the big features of former years
are to be retained.
This big gathering of farm folks
has been an annual event in Minneso-
ia for the past 80 years. Attendance
has grown steadily until in 1929
nearly 1000 persons were present
during the week.
The event is of great agricultural
significance, not only because of the
tremendous volume of up-to-date
farm and home information impaired
through its lectures, classes and de-
monstrations, but also because of
the many meetings and conventions.
of leading state agricultural organi-
cations that are held in connection
with it.

SANBORN MERCHANTS
VICTIMS OF FORGER

Several Sanborn merchants were
victims of forgery committed by Ed.
Sommers, a farm hand, Saturday
night. Sommers had been working
for VIM. Schwartz, a farmer living
two miles east of Sanborn. Saturday
evening Mr.. Schwartz gave Sommers
his check for SIS on the Farmers
State Bank. Sommers cashed the
check and in addition cashed two $40
checks and two 500 checks to which
he had forged his employers name.
Sommers had worked for Mr..
Schwartz three weeks. He asked for
Sunday off as he went to town Satur-
day night, promising to be back Mon
day. He took one of the night trains
out Of Sanborn after spending the
latter part of the evening in a pool
hall.
Mr.. Schwartz was in town also
that evening. A few of the things
which Sommers had bought were
handed to Mr.. Schwartz to take home
for him. One merchant became sus-
picious and called up the Schwartz
home. Mrs. Schwartz answered the
phone and informed the merchant
that Mr.. Schwartz had given Som
mers a check.
Bert Peake saved himself a loss
when he refused to cash one fo the
500 checks. The pool hall where
Sommers spent the evening got the
SIS check that was good.-Springfeld

SIR HENRY KNEW
WHAT SHE WANTED

1t seems that in the year 1920, one
of the attaches of the Court of King
James l of England-Sir Henry
Dowling-had one daughter whom he
loved dearly.
This daughter, Amelia, had been
sent to convent on the continent.
When she was ready to return to
England, Sir Henry, in true fatherly
fashion, desired to commemorate her
home coming with a gift. He called
in the court artisans and ordered
them to make chest which should
surpass all others in beauty. He sell
ected the wood, watched the work
step by step, and finally when the
chest was completed nobody in all the
Court had seen one lovelier.
Amelia came home. She accepted
with joy. And according to the story
the chest with a heart overflowing
which ends just as all such stories
should, she married, settled down and
lived happily ever after, while the
gift from her father passed down
through many generations, finally to
bestow it's richness of design and
wealth of romance upon modernized
adaptation of the original.
This adaptation is now being shown
by Forster's, where the replicas are
now being aptly suggested as pre-
sents to girl graduates, June brides
and other women who naturally
would welcome not only handsome
piece of furniture, but one which
gives complete protection against
moths.
These interesting chests are made
of aromatic red cedar heartwood in
accordance with the U. S. Govern
ment recommendations for moth
killing cedar chest. They are called
Bowling Dowry Chests since Sir Hen
ry Bowling was the creator of the
original design. 1t is certain that
many girl feels the same about
these beautiful chests as did Sir
Henry's lovely daughter. Adv.
