that zero cold wave, too, that swept
Bluffton last Thursday and Friday
all but forgotten thanks to a
full moon the curtailing of Buttons
street lighting didn't work out too
badly-and with the coal crisis past,
Bluffton can again claim its reputa-
ton as one of the best-if not the
best-lighted town of its size in the
state our boulevard lighted
Main street makes an impressive
white way greeting night travellers
coming into town over the Dixie
highway and with March nearly
one-third gone, it's time to get things
shipshape for early gardening :.
fact is that crocuses were in bloom
Tuesday on Amos Tschiegg's lawn on
North Jackson street . and st.
Patrick's day next week when the
almanac says it's time to plant sweet
peas and springs just around
the co1ner-the official date, that is
and the stage getting set for
the big Cleanup Fix-Up Paint-Up
campaign here &. which brings us
to congratulations to Tuffy Swank
whose North Main street barbership
is getting a new brick front
flashing yellow of the new auto tags
making brilliant splashes of color in
Bluffton traffic :. y. and Dave Reich
enbach in charge of tag sales says
business has been brisk-better get
your tags early and avoid the last
minute rush.
Not often, to be sure, that Bluff
ton gets a zero cold wave in March
like the one that stayed here for
two days last Thursday and Friday
but it's happened before-and you
can take it from the oldtimers who
have been recalling "way back when"
as they clustered about the stoves
during the cold spell.
About 80 years ago, they figure,
it was, the late J. C. Casper" Herr
man put up ice Is inches in thick
ness in March. Like this year, it
had been mild winter and before
the days of electric refrigeration, the
summers ice supply depended wholly
upon the winters ice harvest.
Fearful they would be without a
supply, several other Bluffton firms
settled for thin 4-inch ice with which
they filled their storage houses earl
ier in the season. Herman, how
ever, who usually waited until late
in the winter to fill his ice house,
put up what is believed to have been
the thickest ice ever cut here.
Several of the "boys" recalled
that so large were the blocks which
Herrman's crew cut from the quarry
that it was necessary to provide
special hooks to handle them.
These clear nights find Bluffton's
amateur astronomers sky-gazing thru
the high school telescope-youn us
ually find them in Sidney Stettler's
backyard where Sid, who is familiar
enough with stars to call them all
by their first names will tell you
lot of interesting things.
All of which reminds us that
early risers this month will get
good look at Venus in the south
eastern sky. Fact is, Venus is both

Good Average

With the exception of one buy

sixth annual South Central Short
horn Breeders Sale was purchas-
ed by Ohio breeders The sale,
held at the Madison Co. Fair
grounds, saw 44 lots of uniform
quality Shorthorns bring a total
of S19, ,756.00, an average of S449.-
90, and a top price of $4,000.
The unusual high average, when
you consider the relatively low

Hogs Do Well On
Alfalfa, Wheat
BY GEORGE ]. RAUSER
BroadaUater County

IN THE YEAR 1941 I started to
raise Berkshire hogs. ] had read a
lot about them so decided to try and
raise a few. I bought a bred gilt
from David Dutton of Gold Creek
and from the litter that was far
rowed picked my foundation stock.
I had bears shipped in from the east
to improve my herd.
Then as time went on l decided to
see just how well had picked my
stock. So l started showing some of
these Berks at. the North Montana
and Montana Winter fairs In doing
this I received many senior and
junior champion and grand cham
pion ribbons.
My son took Berkshires as a All
club project. He also showed at
quite a few places and again they
took many awards.
In care and feeding of our hogs we
have been quite successful. In the
spring during narrowing time we
keep the sows separate and after the
pigs get two months old we put them
on alfalfa pasture and oats and
wheat rations and tankage. We make
a separate pen for the little pigs
and keep trough filled with ground
wheat at all times. At six months of
age these pigs are ready for market.
1 have found that straw stack will
provide the best shelter for hogs the
year around. In the winter we feed
them second cutting alfalfa, wheat
and oats.
On the average our sows farrow
from 6 to 10 pigs. A Berkshire has
a very gentle disposition.
