The Story of My Pig
One afternoon at school the coun
ty agent came to try to get the boys
interested In the pigs, ho said he
would like to have us join the Tig
Club so I joined. I also had a pig
he cost me $7.
ily pig's name Is Perry. I named
him that because It Is the name of
the man I got him from. I had to
take this breed because it was the
only one I could get. I fed my pig
with middlings and milk at first,
Then 1 put him on green pasture.
Green pasture makes a pig grow
very fast any how it made this one
grow. Fresh water is Important In
pig raising. My pig drank quite a
bit of water.
When I weighed my pig. I put him
In sack. He squealed to beat the
band. I had a trough to feed my
pig In. I fed my pig three times
a day. I spent quite a bit of my
time with my pig Improving his pen
I made it out of new lumber. The
day before yesterday I spent all day
putting In a floor. My pig became
a great pet, I guess because I played
with him.
Well bred pigs are better than
scrubs because they grow better.
Next year I am going to buy a sow
pig and breed to see If I can't get
some pigs. I have learned that pigs
have to be fed well before they will
grow good and also that when fat
tening pigs yon have got to nse a
eelf -feeder.
The kind of a boy that makes a
good clnb member Is one that sticks
to his work. I hope I have better
luck next year In raising pigs. Any
how I tried to do my bit in winning
this war and getting old Kaiser Bill.

The Story of My Pic
Last year my brother raised a jtet
pig so I thought I would try my
luck this year so papa ordered a pig
from Francis Steel of the Winona
Ranch. She Is a thoroughbred Berk
shire with a pretty turned op nose.
I named her Lady Gladys. The
same Gladys was for my schoolmate.
She became a great pet and followed
me everywhere I go, she will come
up and eat ont of my hand and my
baby brother; four years old, can
ride on her back.
One day this summer when I was
picking apples she ran under my
ladder after an apple and caused me
to take a tumble and another time
she got through the fence Into the
neighbor's pasture. I took an ear of
corn and went after her. I called
"Lady Gladys" and she came run
ning and followed me home.
We have no platform scales so
papa made a crate to put her In, so
we could weigh her on the steel
yards and we had a great time weigh
ing her. We had to get a neighbor
to help us.
I hope I may be able to help some
one In the Pig Club work next year
by supplying them with thorough
bred Berkshire pigs.

The Story of My Pit?
I entered this sow and litter con
test to raise pork to help feed the
soldiers. I wanted to help in win
ning the war and took this way of
doing it.
1 received my sow pig from Mr. K.
R. Steel of the Winona Ranch. She
has not been named for 1 have not
received her reglstratlou papers.
I selected the llerkshire because
It seemed to bo easily kept, fattened
quick and made very good bacou.
Pasture and green crops are cheap
feed and seems to be something that
they need; it gives them exercise
which they do not get extensively
when peuned up.
My sow Is fed waste, morning
noon and evening besides having
pasture to run in at present. I shut
her up at night in a warm dry
place. Well bred hogs do not take
the feed that scrub ones do and are
very much easier kept.
I Intend to raise some pigs next
year. I have learned that hogs
should be fed at regular hours, lnve
plenty of exercise ami a warm dry
place to sleep in cold weather.
A person that takes an interest In
the care of their pigs, and sees that
they are fed properly. Is one that
makes a good Pig Club member.

DUTCH ARE DIVIDED ON
WHAT TO DO WITH BILL
Amerongen, Dec. 22 (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)
Opinion as to what should be done
with William Hoheniollern, formerly
German emperor. Is very much di
vided in Holland, even in the extreme
southeastern corner of the province
of rtrecht, where Is situated the
castle of Amerongen, Hohenzollern's
temporary abode. Here the rural
population contentedly lives under
the rule of the gentry who have own
ed the land around for generations.
An opportunity to observe the divi
sion of sentiment was afforded the
Associated Press correspondent when
he sought lodgings for the ntgnt In
a small village hotel. Seated about
the office were half a dozen villagers.
After the stranger had been eyed
awhile with the furtive suspicion of
the rustle towards the townsman.
talk drifted back to its former chan
nel Hoheniollern. "What do peo
ple hereabouts think of him?" the
correspondent asked.
Think of him? He should be
clapped In Jail, and hanged," rapped
out a sharp faced man fiercely.
"That's .what I think of him."
"Nay, neighbor," expostulated a.
fat complacent man who looked like
a prosperous cattle dealer oozing
with war profits, "he don't deserve
all that, surely."
"What?" ejaculated the first man.
"A feller who had millions of peo
ple killed in them battles."
"What I say Is," broke In the cat
tleman, "he always gave thanks to
the Almighty. He always praised
God. You can see it In the papers.
And that's a fit and proper thing to
do. There are many worse than he,
and It wasn't his .fault alone that
all them people were killed. What
do you say landlord?"
"Aye, that may be true," said the
landlord diplomatically. "He had
his faults. I daresay. But I do say
'tis a Bad come-down from a gentle
man in his position." An 1 he shook
his gray head.
"Pshaw!" said the sharp-faced
man.. "You bet he lacks for nothing.
He lives on the fat o the land. He
sets all he wants, and more. Cur
rant bread he gets every day, and
jam and tea. Folks like that never
lack for nothing, eh."
The villa ne carpenter thus addrss
ed cast a disapproving look over the
assembly. "I don't hold with roy
alty and such," he growled slowly
through his teeth, which gripped his
pipe like a vise. "There's old Paul

TRAFFIC IS RESUMED
The freight train wreck just north
of this city was cleared and the track
again made ready for service about
midnight last night. While the exact
cause of the wreck is not known, or
at least has not been given out, a
broken flange was found on one car
heel and that might have been the
cause. The seven cars which went
off the track were all empties, ex
cept a gondola, which was loaded
with piling.
The wreck occurred In a cut,
which was about ten feet deep, and
wo or three of the cars were thrown
high into the air and out onto the
bank. They were converted Into
kindling wood. The car that did
most of the damage, apparently,
was the one loaded with piling. One
f the trucks on this car turned side-
wise and was dragged along, rip
ping up the ties for some distance.
A huge bonfire was made from the
wreckagu and from the light-thus
obtained the crew of workmen la
bored with, full aimed until the mld-
Ight hour before the damage was
repaired.
Tho wrecking crews from both
Ashland and Rosehurg were at the
scene.

MEAT ANIMALS FEARED
Denver, Colo., Jan. 21. Sounding
warning that over-production of
meat animals In 1920 would prove
dlsasterous to the Industry, President
I. T. Pryor of the American National
Livestock association, today told
delegates attending the association's
annual meeting that they should reg
ulate production to the requirements
of domestic consumption.
President Pryon declared that the
t'nlted States has a sufficient supply
of meat animals to meet, all antici
pated, demands from hungry Europe
and for domestic consumption, des
pite liquidation during 1918.
"With our export decreasing after
1919 and our over-supply Increas
Ing," President Pryon said, "the
problem that confronts cattlemen Is
to regulate supplies in 1920 and
thereafter to tho needs of domestic
consumers. For that is the only suro
and unfailing market for our pro
ducts. Even our home market may
be affected by Importation of . beef
from other surplus countries. We
must seo that this does not happen.
"Our government Is not prepared
to protect livestock -producers from
the disasters that would follow over
production. No plan has been
evolved to satisfactorily determine
costs of -production and to stabilize
on such a level.' The plain fact is
that the stockmen are asked to as
sume all the risks that might follow
the government's plea tor increased
production, and take our chances of
securing a fair return. If the food
administration were to continue and
there was a certainty of large orders
from our allies. being placed through
It, the situation would be different."
