WALKER LACK OF COURTESY BEING In a reminiscent old mood, the gentleman smiled pleasantly, gazed meditatively through his Oxford glasses upon his friends, and spoke to them In a sorrowful manner upon the general lack of courtesy. It appears to me, he said, that the fine, considerate deportment of other days Is gradually disappearing, particularly among the rising generation. Whether this Is due to our present mode of living, our feverish chase of the golden eagle, our disregard of the feelings of others, or a voluntary willingness to forego those niceties of manners which mark the difference between the wellbred and the boer, I do not know. However, be that as It may, If you will look around you, you will observe that we are becoming vastly more selfish and absorbed In our own comforts and affairs than we were, even ten or fifteen years ago.

William Penn, for whom is Woods Penns Pennsylvania named, was a Quaker. Like many of these sterling pioneers of that sect who came to the New world, Penn was bountiful and generous to the extreme. No one In want ever suffered when Penn could alleviate their suffering, but at the same time William Penn was a man of thrift a man who was not expensive in his habits. William Penn was born In London, October 13, 1G44. He became a Quaker the name of this sect originated In derision of their statement that man fear and quake before the should and was sent to prison for his Lord Through the intercession preaching. of his father the young man was released, only to be sent later to the Tower for the publication of a book No Cross, No Crown. This work was destined to show the necessity for suffering in the world and to show the benefit that came from It spiritually. Naturally such a work was not popular with the pleasure-loving class of nobles.

It Is a significant fact that for this refusal the Jury was fined for acting contrary to the Instructions of the Judge! In 1G81 Penn received a grant of land In North America in lieu of some arrears that were due hls father from Deal. Penn and his party landed In what Is now Delaware and later at what Is now Chester, Pa. They began a colony where religious freedom prevailed and which Is now the Keystone state. Wayne D. McMurray.

Adding fall pigs to the production plan moans a slight Increase In feed and labor costs for each 100 pounds of pork produced. Other costs, however, are decreased chiefly bccuuse It Is easier to save pigs at weaning time In the summer thun In the spilng. The economy of producing two Utters a year Is also shown In a lower necessary capital Investment. Maintenance costs of the breeding herds are slightly higher when two Utters ure raised, largely because sows are on the furm for a longer time. On a monthly basis there is practically no difference. Interesting Lights. These facts and many other Interestcosts are ing lights on brought out by the Department of Agriculture In a study recently completed on hog ruising In Iowa and Illinois. Furmers In llenry county, Iowu, and Warren county, Illinois, with the department representatives In making exact records of their costs In 1921 and 1922. These couulies are large producers of corn, hogs and cattle. Although the actual cost figures obtained In this study are out of date uow, the methods of efficient practice that were revealed and the light thrown on sources of loss In the business liuve permanent interest. Besides demonstrating the superior r efficiency of the system, the study showed that there Is a regulur Increase In corn consumed when pigs are fed heavier weights. In other words, It took on un average less feed to produce the first DO pounds of , pork than It took to produce the secoud and less to produce the than the third, and so on. Thus, to raise a herd of pigs averaging 125 pounds In weight took only 291.3 pounds of corn for each 100 pounds of When hogs were raised to the hog. nverage weight of 275 pounds, the amount of feed necessary to produce each hundredweight of hog was 405.2 pounds. Although the Investigation did not entirely hear out the theory that the power of feed declines In a steady proportion ns animals are raised to greater weights, It did confirm the generally accepted Idea that it progressively takes more corn to Increase the weight of hogs us they approach maturity. Effect on Profits. Reduced costs of production have obviously the same effect on profits ns an Increased sale price. Tills is strikingly demonstrated by the department in an analysis of effects of production costs on prifits. Production costs varied widely on the furms studied. The cost In 1921 ranged from $3.07 to $13.55 per 100 pounds of hog. Profits In the, lowest cost group averaged ($3.03 cents) for 100 pounds, compared with a loss of $5.27 per 100 pounds In the highest cost group. In 1922 the range of costs was from $4.80 to $10.02 per hundred pounds of bog Farmers In the group made a profit of $2.90 a hundred pounds, t whereas those In the group suffered a loss of $2.04 per hundred pounds. It was shown that each Increase In costa means a distinct decrease In profits and a decrease In the return for each bushel of corn fed.

Poultry Manure Is Very Valuable as Fertilizer Poultry manure la an excellent fertilizer If properly used. However, It very rich nnd must be used with caution.

Since the fertility Is quickly lost by leaching and fermentation, the droppings should be stored In a dry condition In bins so constructed that air can circulate through the manure. Poultry manure can also be kept well In barrels In which hole are bored through the sides.

There are really three steps In the feeding of broilers, the growing, forcing and fattening. The growing period varies to some extent with the breed, the time of hatching and the size which Is desired at market time. Usually this period will last from four to five weeks.

Average losses before weaning out of the total uumber of spring and fall pigs farrowed In both yours was 35.4 per cent. The number of pigs that died before and after weaning was 41.4 per cent of the total number furrowed. Severe weather In the spring of 1922 Increased the death losses. Cost of Pork. The 1921 costs were gathered from 44 farms producing 1,033,744 pounds of marketable pork, or an average of 23,494 pounds per farm. The net cost of this pork was $5.42 a hundred pounds. The 1922 costs were obtained from 39 furms producing 1,004,003 pounds of marketable pork, or an average of 25,744 pounds per farm. The not cost In 1922 was $5.S(3 a hundred pounds. In general, better feed and wise management showed a saving In that more uml better pigs were produced. even though sometimes the increased enre meant an Increased cost of maintaining the breeding herds. Tha producers who raised the largest number of pigs per sow bad a great Initial ndvnntuge In the effort to keep production costs down. Some hog raisers made little effort to save the pigs, and others who tried were not thorough Id their sanitary methods and failed. Feed constituted the largest Item of cost, amounting to 04 per cent of the total In 1921 and 75 per cent In 1922. Labor chnrgcs were the second lnrgest Item, constituting 8.4 per cent of the total in 1921 and 7.1 per cent of the total In 1922. Cost of equipment was the third lurgest item. Where full pigs wt're produced the cost of equipment for each hundred pounds of hog raised was below the cost of equipment on r farms. Equipment valuations on the farms varied In 1922 from $152 to $1,909. The nvernge was $571 per farm. It was shown that the use of expensive equipment did not always mean more economical production. lf :u under-nourishe- cows are better Potato spraying should begin early workers than dairy or scrubs.
