If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst the bin packers he ought to go through a day's work with Swift & Company. Let him begin at the pens w..en the live stock comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without some body's bidding against him. Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order that costs may be held to a minimum. Let him go up into the office where market reports are coming in, and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig erator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet o( battleships at sea. Let him take a trip with a Swift & Company salesman and try to sell a few orders of meat. Let him stay at a branch house for an hour or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their bargains to the last penny as they shop around among the packers' branch houses, the wholesale dealers, and the local packing plants. And then, when the day is over, let him have half an hour in the accounting department, where he can see for himself on what small profits the business is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales.) If he still thinks there is no competition In the meat business it will be because he wants to think so. Swift & Company, U. S. A. I 1 1 Quality Merchandise or hulf-fecda, but rather should re-1 celvo a full allowance, which; broaoJ ly Interpreted, means that the pork ers rocelve about all that they will eat with respect to economical methoda of pork' production. Jreen Food KtwcntUI It Is highly desirable thRt the cows to be bred In the fall should Imve access to groer. forago crops as long as there aro any such materials available. The bow realises Iminea surable benefit from ruatlltjj about for tho bulk of her feed. The method Insures the female porker of the ex erclso which Is necessary to maintain her In the condition which favors good litters of pigs. As, on many hog furms relatively littlo green foed is avulbblo during the plg-ralslng pei lods, It la Imperative that the Indivi dual fanner provldo plonty of fooa In balanced mixture In addition to m iking It necessnry for the sows to exercise In tho procuring of this food. M:u:y successful farmors main tain that during the winter season they feed their brood rows all the oorn that the animals will eat. Some fulhicy may be apparent lu thib B'.r.teinont unless tho rer.dcr Is ho'oughly fumlllar with tho condi tions under which this plentiful use of grain Is practiced. The goneral plan of feeding corn Is to scatter it in the ear over the fields where the bows may hustle af ter It. It Is hard work to scoop corn rfti Only ST. HELENS MIST. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1918 from a wagon which is driven over ' r the field. A much easier and more'S practical plan is to fin the manure .. "ii,, ulo Ker corn ana toifc. adjust the machine bo that the grain will be well scattered. This process may possibly look -wasteful, especial ly In view of the current price of corn but If the feeder will be careful and not distribute an excessive quantity he will find that the hogs will make efflclont use of all of this grain. The department specialists recom mend the supplementary use of tank age, shorts or middlings, oil meal and ground alfafla hay with the con. Vso of Alfalfa Careful test by the department of agriculture Indicates the value of grinding alfalfa hoy, soaking it fov 24 hours in barreU containing hot water, addlug a little salt and po slbly one-half bushel or more of shorts to a barrel of feed and glv. 'ng the mixture to the sows in the form of a thick soup. It Is suggested that the preferablo time for feeding this slop Is each morning, so thai during the balance of the day the anlmr.ls can ruBtle about for corn. Good alfalfa hay ohould also be available In convenient racks so that the sows can eat this roughage as they please. One of the most Important matters, r.nd undoubtedly the one which In most commonly neglected in tin. proper handling of hogs, .is to supply the porkers with nn abundance of clean, pure drinking water. For this purpose some automatic watering de vice or home-made convenience of this nature should provide the hogs constantly with water. Without question, water is the cher.pest ma terial used In pork production and the Importance of having It supplied In quantity and of proper1 quall'.y can not bo overestimated. Hogs should not be forced to drink from an icy tank, nor should they be provided with only a limited supply once 01 twice a day. Amor lean Farmer's ItcHKinKihllUy At present the stupendous task or filling the world's pork barrel fallb to the lot of the American farmer. To accomplish this result is possible only through a marked Increased production. According to the opln Ion of the department officials there is no more patriotic duty that the American hog grower can perform than to accord special r.nd undivided attention to every little detail 0f hog management during the coming winter and spring so that the sows may be properly attended to, favor-! lag maximum litters which may be grown to maturity with a minimum of mortality. By wisely selecting the brood sows for the pig crop of next spring, and by properly caring for the animals during the winter anu seeing to It that every pig Is saved at farrowing time, the American hog raisers will not only be perform ing valuable services for this coun try and the allies, but they also will be laying up funds tor investment in Liberty Loans and War Savings Stamps.
