PAGB FOUR CHANTS PASS DAILY (X)VIUEK HATlllOAY. JAM'AHY 1H, 1010. . 1XTKRK8TIXQ STOIUES FKOM L1TTLK F.UtMKIlS ! As proof that the boys and girts have been taking great interest In the "pig club work", In Josephine county, and that they have proven themselves efficient as raisers of livestock, Is evidenced by several let ters which have been received by County Agent C. D. Thompson. One ot these interesting letters from the little folks is herewith published, and the others "will be published Monday or Tuesday In the Daily Courier: The Story of My Pig When I saw the announcement ot the Dally Courier that the boys ot Josephine county would form a rig Club, I thought "now's my chance, I'm just old enough to get a pig and do my bit to help Uncle Sam." So I sent in my name as a Pig Club member. , I got my pig through the Jose phine County bank which loaned me the money and our county agent brought it to me. Shortly after I got my pig, my leg was broken and when I got to see Bess again she was so much bigger I hardly knew her. ' She seemed to be ot such a gentle disposition that I named her Bess. I selected a Duroe Jersey because hog raisers told me that this kind ot a pig would make a better growth on the same amount of feed than any other breed. Pigs need green feed or pasture because they should have food with a good deal of moisture in it My pig did not drink much -water be cause she had green teed. My fath er weighed her with steel yards. I fed her in a trough, morning, noon and night. Her feed consisted of bran, middlings, corn meal, pears apples, alfalfa, skimmed milk, acorns, and squashes. I spent my time with Bess fixing her a honse, trough and feeding and watering her. My pig was much admired by all who saw her. An old man who went XKW TOi.AV JOB.

Many are the features that distinguish the Wirthmor from all others at the price. They have that fineness and daintiness of character that is usually Incident to higher price Blouses; they are made of quality fabrics and so cut as to be true to size and to fit perfectly. To realize Just how splendid these values are we suggest that . you find out the price of materials of which they are made, figure the amount necessary for a waist and try to estimate the cost of , making. You'll then wonder Just as we do, how such waists can be made to sell for a price so small. The new Styles illustrated were just received and but recently., created. They are January Sales for January helling, -made according to Wirth mor Idea of always providing the " now while It Is NEW. Every Waist . Is of course unconditionally guaran teed. Wirthmor Waist can be sold In Just one good store In every city and they are sold here only. &e Golden Rule to the state fair said. "She was as tine as any pig ot her age' there." The manager ot-tue Pig Club pro ject. Mr. Steele, and the county agent visited me, the latter taking my picture and my father told me how to care for her. You can get a better price for a well-bred pig when small than you can a scrub. I am planning to raise a big litter ot pure Duroc pigs for the Pig Club work next yoar. x I have learned that pigs heed to be well cared for to make nice hogs. A boy that tends to his pig regular ly makes a good Pig Club member. My nl wolghed J4 pounds when 1 got her at two months old and now at five and one halt months old, she weighs 204 pounds.
