Show THE PAYSON CHRONICLE. PAYSON. UTAH FATTENING HOGS ON CORN ALONE Many Farmers Still Making Big Mistake With Swine. Too many Minnesota farmers stIU make the mistake of trying to fatten their lings on corn alone, sajs H. G. .a oral, swine specialist of ihe Minnesota agricultural extension division, university farm,' St. Paul. Hogs that are fed :tn all corn ration do uot get sufficient piotein either to keep them gaining at the maximum rate, or to make the most economical gains from the standpoint of feed cost. The economy of supplying sufficient protein In the fattening ration for hog., has been proven repeatedly, not only In the experience of farmers, hut also In trials conducted at various experiment stations. At the Minnesota agricultural experiment station, trial carried on In three successive year showed that hogs fed corn alone made average dally gains of only .90 pounds, and consumed $5 20 worth of feed for each 100 pounds of gain, while hogs fed corn and buttermilk gained two pounds a day at a cost of $4.12 per 100 pounds. A third group of hogs fed corn and tankage made slightly lower dally gains than those fed corn and buttermilk, but at a lower cost This latter group gained 1.7 pounds per day, and put on weight at a cost of $4.09 per 100 pounds. Mr. Zavoral recommends that for hogs on corn without skim milk or buttermilk, or with Insufficient quantities of these, tankage or a mixture of tankage and oil meal be self fed. Hogs do better when fed both plant and animal protein, the ratio being about d oil s tankage and nteal. This mixture Is also somewhat chenper than tankage alone. v The Night Before Christmas tke night before Chrlatmaa, nbra all through the bo.se Not a creature nna not even a mouae) The atorklnaa were buna by the chimney with rare.

WAS atii-rlng- , new-fnll- ea ht By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HEN recent press dispatches carried the news that a New York woman, Mrs. Tlllle Hart, who for four months had withstood the siege of a wrecking crew seeking to tear down her home to make way for a $25,(00,(XX) apartment house, had at last capitulated and allowed the house to be demolished, there wns one good reason why the story was more than merely a local New York news item. For the disputed building has rightfully been called the birthplace of Santa Claus because In tt more than a hundred years ago Dr Clement 0. Moore wrote a famous Christmas poem In which for the first time the American Santa (Intis was described, his mode of traveling wns pictured and the lavishness of his giving was made known. That poem was The Night Before Christmas," which every American has recited or heard recited And for that reason the news that the birthplace of Santa Claus" wns to be wiped out of existence had nation wide Imerest. ' Quite aside from his fame ns the author of "The Night Before Christ mas, Doctor Moore was a notable mnn. Fils father. Bishop Benjamin Moore, the second Irotestant Episcopal bishop of New York and the third president of Columbia university, assisted at the Inauguration of Washington and administered the last rites to the dying Alexander Hamilton after the fatal duel with Aaron Burr. Clement C. Moore was graduated from Columbia university tn 1793 and was a professor of Hebrew and Greek In the General Theological seminary from 1821 to 1850, He was a prolific writer, one of his literary productions bearing the Imposing title of Observations Upon Certain Passages in Mr. Jeffer at some time or another. Christmas Always One In many places comes of snow and Ice. of Its Joy lies In the sound of CHRISTMAS Part carols upon the frosty air; the peal of glad bells across the snow; the warm and welcome glow of bright fires upon the hearth. Christmas In other places comes with soft, cnresslng winds ; It Is greeted by blooming flower and tree; by a fragrant atmosphere and smil sons Notes on the State of Virginia Which Appear to Have a Tendency to Subvert Itellgion and Establish a False Philosophy. However, his most Important work, the one at least upon which he believed his fame as a scholar would be secure, was A Com pemlius Lexicon of the Hebrew Lain He little realized that future gunge. generations of Americans would re member him better as the author of whut he was accustomed to call a silly poem," the authorship of which he refused to acknowledge for a long time. Yet such was the case, for a short time before Christmas In 1822, Doctor Moore wrote for his children a Christ mas poem and they were delighted with the rolloeklng tale, a9 other chit dren, not only In this country but In many other lands, have been ever since. A daughter of Itev. Dr. David Butler, rector of St Paul's church at who was a niece of Troy, N. Y Doctor Moore, was a Christmas guest In the Moore home and made a copy of the poem In her album. The next year she sent a copy of It to the Troy Sentinel and It appeared In that pa per, prefaced by a note from the ed Itor saying he did not know who hnd sent It. By the next year It had appeared In many other newspapers and magazines and within a few years It had found Its way Into the school books. By this time Inquiries were beginning to be made as to Its author ship and eventually Dctor Moore none too well pleased that his silly poem was so well known whereas his scholarly Compendlus lexicon" at traded little attention, except from other scholars, admitted its authorship and gave the autographed original manuscript of the poem to the New York Historical society. In Its original form the poem dif fers slightly from the present version, ing blue skies and bright sunshine wherever and under what con ditions Christmas conies tt is a wel come day ; a time of gladness and good cheer; of true and sincere friendliness and good will. Under Its Influence hearts thrill with happiness and content To the young It brings new Clijoy, to the old happy memories. mate or country has nothing to do with It; It Is the spirit and joy of the time that makes a merry Christmas So, whether one lives In the north-lanor the southland, Christmas U a I.Ht i SPASSrrs a UmpmuK op1 kHpr 'TflGHT BtfQRC CHPfSTTtAA" Tea? hnuT!ns7r particularly In the names of the reindeer. Vlseeu of the original has become Vixen'' and "Donder" has been changed to "Dunder. The title which Doctor Moore gave to his verses was A Visit From St. Nicholas, but the modern version, taken from the first line, Is "The Night Refore Christmas. Its popularity, however, has been unchanged throughout the 107 years. It has been translated Into many foreign tongues and It has delighted the children of many nations. Doctor Moore died In 1SG3 at his summer home In Newport. R. I. His body was taken to New York, which was then In the throes of the draft riots, and was placed temporarily In a vault at St. Lukes church In Hudson street. Later It was removed to the churchyard of the Chapel of the Intercession (Trinity parish) and there it rests today in a plot of ground which holds also the bodies of his wife and their three children. In fact, this plot has been more of a Christmas shrine than has the house near Chelsea Square, where the poem was written and a very pretty Christ-wu- s ceremony In memory of Doctor Moore takes place there every year. Rev. Dr. Milo H. Gates, vicar of the chapel at Broadway and One Hundred and Fifty-fiftstreet, has long been an admirer of the poem and Its scholarly author. In 1911 he held the first serv-- ' Ice in Doctor Moores memory. About 200 children gathered with him at the grave at the foot of the hill overshadowed by ttie high wall which Is topped by Riverside drive. Since then the number hii9 grown to more than 2,000. The ceremony begins at four oclock on Christmas eve with the feast of lights tn the church. Then the children gather tn the cloister while a fanfare of trumpets from the bell tower heralds the procession to the cemetery. Led by the trumpeters they move along One Hundred and Fifty-fiftstreet, carrying banners, lighted candles, torches and lanterns, past the huge Christmas tree In the corner of ttie churchyard. All Broadway traffic Is halted ns they cross, the swell of their music rising above the noise of the street and fulling away again ns they pass. From the steps of the cemetery and the road that winds around from side to side down the hill, the voices nmy still he heard on the busy street singLittle Town of Bethlehem," ing Silent Night, Holy Night, We Three Kings of Orient Are.

A final enrol Is sung as a wreath is laid against the stone and. before disbanding, the procession moves on to a grave nearby to honor the memory of Alfred Tennyson Dickens, eldest son of Charles Dickens, author of another Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol." Another ceremony honoring Doctor Moore is held annually at St. IVters Episcopal church on Twentieth street. A tablet Is erected to his memory there because he was the first warden of that church and also gave the land upon which It stands, as well as the land upon which was built the General Theological seminary with which It has a close connection. Club Members Profit by Keeping Records When you have chosen your breed, selected your pig, eared for It properly, fed It correctly, fitted It for show, you have not completed your work. Unless you have a record of how you fed your pig, how much you fed It, together with the cost of the feed and the amount of grain, you are not doing yourself Justice. The successful live stock farmer knows the business end of hog production, and you must know how much your pig has cost. A complete record is necessary and you should keep this In a book. The record Is not hard to keep, If you use a few minutes each week and keep It up to date. Every time you mix up feed, put down the date, the number of pounds, Rnd the cost. Once u month set down th. value of the kitchen waste and milk you fed during the month. Weigh the pig once a month and set down the weight. Do this throughout the year am! you will have an accurate record of what It cost to raise your pig pig-clu- b Live Stock Notes Rams should be fed a pound of grain a day during the breeding season.
