Profitable Pigs Never Stop Growing In an exhibit entitled \Pork pro- duction,\ shown by the U. S. depart- ment of agriculture at the Interna- tional Livestock exposition, Chicago, December 2 to 9, the department swine economically. gave the essential points for raising swine economically. Good breeding stock, proper mat- ing, and careful feeding or the brood sows are all important, but a point In hog raising that should receive more attention because it IR often neglected, is the necessity of keeping the young pigs growing continuously from the moment of birth to matur- ity. Even before the pigs are weaned they should have access to grain self - feeders as a supplement to the Row's milk. As soon as thsy are weaned the pigs should be kept on full feed, either hy self -feeder or by hand. Ap- proved types of self -feeders, hay- racks, troughs, and watering foun- tains were shown in the exhibit. Pro- per feeds and exercise furnished to vigorous pigs of proper type result In hogs of market weight at about eight months of age. \The profitable pig is the one that never stops growing from farrowing to market,\ is a good slogan for every hog raiser.

No Sudden Boom Mr. Wilson presented no glowing picture of sudden wealth from cheap land. Ile did not predict a swift nor easy return of this dry land area into the list of important agricultural sec- tions. Rather, he showed from fig- ures of his survey that most of this land, farmed correctly by the right type of farmers, will produce crops enough to assure permanence where the land is well grassed and where there is a loam soil. \In the older farming sections, competition IR always at work,\ said Wilson. \Farmers who cannot meet the competition go into other occu- pations until only the better farmers are left. In this north central Mon- tana section we had a sudden settle - Mont by a mixed class of people, many of whom had no farming exper- ience of any kind. It could not have been evpected that more than a per- centage of these would survive to the point of success. Many of the fore- closures and abandonments noted in this territory have been due to specu- lative people without the necessary farming capacity, who have taken up the land in the hope of a paradox of cheap land, easy and big yields and high prices. \We have made exhaustive wea- ther studies in this section. In a sum- mary It may be said that it is highly improbable that another series of droughts, as serious as the last four or five years, will be experienced again. Diversification Key \To make a success in this country we believe, from the findings upon the successful farms up there, that the farmer must plan upon making a permanent home, and that this must be upon the basis of diversified farm- ing. Diversified farming, to the ex- tent of assuring the family living each year, Is necessary. \Where there Is cheap pasture land available the tendency gradual- ly will be toward increased amount of livestock upon these farms. Where there Is little or no pasture land the Rafse the Type of Hogs the Market Demands The bog market for the past two years has proven conclusively that the packers and the consuming public both want a hog of the meat type. The day of the fat bellies and salt pork Is past and the demand is now and will continue to be for a hog which dresses out a superior quality of fine textured meat.

By this I mean the using of large teams by a single man. On many of the most successful farms we studied we found plowing is to be one of the beat means of preventing excessive soil blowing in this section. Wilson illustrated with lantern slides the points in his talk. At the close he showed slides from the farms of four successful farmers of north Montana, telling the means by which these farmers had achieved the farm living. THE WORLD Washington—A fight has begun in the house to tax exempt securities. / Washington — Plans have been completed by the prohibition bureau for a stirvey of enforcement condi- tions in the far western states. NOW York—An ocean barge, with a cargo of whisky worth $500,000, was captured near here a few days ago by the \dry\ navy. Now York—J. P. Morgan has re- fused to float a large loan for Ger- many saying that United States in- vestors would not support it. Los Angeles—A reward of $3,000 is offered for the capture of Clara Phillips, convicted hammer murder- ess. Warsaw—Gabriel Narutowicz, the first president of the Polish republic, fell before an assassin's bullet last week. io Moscow—Moscow —Moscow is today passing through a building boom more act- ive than anything of the kind the white walled city ha's experienced in several generations, Havana—With sentences totaling 200 years in prison hanging over his head and 250 troops and rural guards at his heels, Ramon Arroyito, Cuba's modern Jesse James, is still at large. Washington—Winter wheat has been sown this fall on 46,069,000 acres or 3.26 per cent less than the revised estimated area sown in the fall of 1921, which was 47,611,000 acres. Marion, 111.—Dr. 0. F. Shipman testified at the trial of the five men In connection with the Herrin riot, that he had been an eye -witness to the shooting down of six unarmed men by a mob in front of the Herrin cemetery the day of the killings. San Antonio, Texas—Following on the discovery of a counterfeiting ring in a south Texas prison farm, Edward Tyrrell, United States secret service agent, has called on state authorities to end the illegal operations. San Francisco—A sentence of five years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, and a fine of $200 was imposed in federal court on Roy Wilmot, former prohibition agent here, who was convicted of bribery while in office. Minneapolis—H. L. Duncan, pro- hibition director for the northwest, announced that he had received in- formation of an alleged plot to smug- gle into this country and bring to Minneapolis a cargo of Hungarian wines valued at $150,000 at current illicit sale prices. Denver—Every peace officer in Colorado is combing the highways leading from Denver In search of the masked bandits who shot and killed Charles Linton, guard of the Denver branch of the Kansas City federal reserve bank, stole $200,000 and escaped after staginga gun fight with armed guards on duty at the United States mint. Portland, Ore.—Burton L. Stan - the same sort may make the same sort of an assured farm living. This section, I repeat, where there is grassy land and loam soil, will be a permanent farming section of the great state of Montana.\ John Nabor, living northwest of Havre, was the ideal type of diversi- fied farmer. A number of growing children made possible the milking of many cows on this farm, the keep- ing of chickens, the tending of a large home garden. Here, with cheap land, with plenty of farm labor to handle the cows, poultry, pigs and garden, Nabor has been able to provide a good living and show a labor income when other farmers were abandoning their land and moving away in dis- couragement. Near Gildford, J. W. Swinney, a man about 60 years of age, makes a certain living through the raising of purebred stock. lie came to Mon- tana in 1916 with a registered Short- horn cow, heifer and a calf. From these animals he has raised 40 head of registered Shorthorns. Many he has sold, the increase still providing him with milk that brings the farm home an income of about $1 per day each year. Registered Pereheron horses, from a start of one mare, also hove made a strong contribution to the annual farm income and made a living possible when crops failed. Thomas MacFarlane, near Lothair, has no amount of farm labor that will allow the milking of many Cows, and sheep took the place of the cows, and this livestock experiment has brought a steady income to MacFarlane while he continued his grain farming. Two careful and systematic sum- mer fallow followers were discussed. One was Jim Printice of Hill county, the other Alvin Hull of Chouteau county. These men fallow carefully, keep down the Russian thistle, study carefully control of blowing, prac- tice the most careful economy of labor and maintain a steady farm in- come. he farmer in this section,\ said Wilson in closing, \must know the limitations of moisture, of ROIL of labor and of the various other HAMS of successful farming.

Berkeley, Cal.—An ordinance just adopted by the city council here bans between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a. m., \persistent maintenance or emission of any noise or sound pro- duced by human, animal or mechani- cal means which, by reason of its raucous, nerve-wracking nature will disturb the peace or comfort or be in- jurious to the health of anyone.\ Chicago—Horrified when she wit- nessed the death of a large collie dog, as it was struck by a negligent motorist .on Woodlawn avenue, a fashionably attired woman ran into the street and carried the dog in her arms to the curbstone where she laid him down.
