PROPER HOUSING MEARS
MORE PROFITS IN HOG RAISING
The Hog needs protection more than
most domestic animals because It
lacks natural protection, Mid is very
succeptable to the influence of cold,
heat and drafts.
Hog houses should have tight walls,
roofs, doors and windows, abundant
sunlight, well drained floors and
plenty of fresh air without drafts.
They should be strongly built of good
materials.
Frame construction meets all these
tequirements and Tum-A-Lum lH re.
commended because it is carefully
and accurately mode, is strong, dur
able, dependable and will give live
long honest service.

And the Cars Came
R ailroads M ake Good on Prom ise
to Move All B usiness O ffered
A low freight rate and no care in which to ship is a3 unsatis
factory as a low price for bread and no bread.
Heretofore, fail harvest has brought a widespread car short
age. Last year tt was 140,000 cars. This year there ig gener
ally a surplus of cars throughout the country and especially of
box cars in the West and Northwest, notwithstanding the roads
are handling the greatest volume of business in their history.
There’s a Reason!
For 1923, ail the railroads of the United States Joined in a
co-operatvle effort and with a defined program to improve
traffic conditions and to establish new standards of servi'-",
even excelling pre-war records. In fulfilling this program,
134.636 new freight ears and 2.963 new locomotives were put
In service between January and October, 1923, a larger number
than In Rny similar period within-the past ten years.
Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the number
of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 86.S per cent of the
locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being In serviceable
condition In October.
More railroad coal has been placed in stock pile storage and
more commercial coal dumped at Lake Erie ports than In any
previous year, thus making equipment available for other nec
essary traffic during peak periods.
From an average movement of 22 miles per car per day, (in-
eluding idle time) in 1921, the railroads made 29.2 miles in
September, 1923.
In 42 weeks, from January 1 to October 20,1923, the rail
roads loaded and moved 40,545,920 cars, which was an increase
of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the record year
of 1920.
Isn’t this a splendid tribute to the efficiency of the carriers
and the co-operation of shippers?
The roads are spending this year 700 million dollars for new
equipment and 400 million dollars for other improvements.
Yeara ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder of the North
west, said that the roads must spend one billion dollars every
year for additions and betterments to keep abreast of the coun
try's growing traffic, but this Is the firrt year in twelve that
the railroads have found it possible to obtan that amount.
Surh expenditures have a vital bearing on national prosperity,
contributing to the expansion of Industry nd employment of
labor. Increasing the demand for products of mine, forest and
farm.
This $1,100.000,000 being spent in 1923 js almost entirely
new money, and not taken from earnings. The expenditure is
based on the conviction that the American people will encourage
compensatory rates and discourage attempts to embarrass the
railroads In their efforts to provide adequate service. It is not
predicted on preeent earnings for even In this record-breaking
year. It is unlikely that the roads will earn the 5.75 per cent
on thslr valuation permitted by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission under the Transportation Act. but wtairh If they do not
earn they do not get.
Anti-railroad laws produce no freight cars.
Constructive suggestions are always welcome.
