I have noticed a shortage in the spring pig crop in the county. I have also noticed that owing to the high prices of feed, and also the high price of pork, that many have been tempted to dispose of their brood sows. 1 be lieve this was a serious mistake. If the brood sows were kept until they wer« two or three years old there would not be so many complaints of small littery. —o— A steel tower windmill was erect ed tor W. N. Herriagton, Jr., one and a haif miles southeast ofVail last week. —o— I was recently prevailed upon to eat chicken soup at a certain farm home. The,'good wife said "We haven't any thing but chicken soup for dinner, but you are welcome if you will be satisfied with that." Nothing but chicken soup! Nothing but diamonds and gold, but that which I have you are welcome to, she might have said I reluctantly accepted the invitation, but lost no time in placing my feet under the table. How many helping^ I nad I would be ashamed to toll. —o— Schleswig Leader—On Monday Kd. Kastner threshed oats and his yield went 50 bushels to 'the acre. Oas.

T0- A new residence is being built on the farm of Geo. Roberts about one mile south of Vail. The main part of the building is 30x30, two stories high. A basement, which is under the en tire dwelliug, has been divided into rooms that will be convenient. The first story will be finished "in oak and the second in yellow pine. Kvery modern convenience will be included to make this a modern residence. Frank Pop is the contractor and he is doing a first class "iob for Mr. Rob erts. —o— On the farm of Mr. Stehllk.- three mi)es northwest of Vail, a fine and dandy chicken house has been built. It is built entirely of lumber, except th$ foundation. The side walls are of drop sidii?. which by thp way, makes very good side wails, if lumber is used. The roosts are planting, but ar6 hfnged to the, side walls. This permits raising of roosts when drop pings are removed from the floor. A new combination granary and corn crii with driveway tnroug!? the center lias just be^n built. Jt will be one of the boat investments Mr. StehJik has i^pde on the farm and after he lias used it a year hp would not farm with out suc|'. a building, 1 am sure. Clarence ilutchlnson will erect a con-iDliuUioi corn crib and gran try on his farm., three miles east of ivioit. it wi'.l be forty feet long and thirty feet ^vide with driveway through 'In ceuter fourteen feet wide-. This will give plenty of room to place an ele vator in the driveway. —o— 'A. C.

At tliat time he purchased ojrti brood, sow, but has ad4.ed t'Q his herd since. He has a thrifty bunch or young stuff und they seem to be of a strain of easy keepers who do remarkably well on a ligl»t t'ffd of grain and plenty of pasture. I have not seen a lot that looked better in the county and tyig and little are as quien as kittens. Per haps that is one of the reasons they th/iv? so well' on 'si short ration of grain.

He could very nicely carry 200 pounds more. He has an other hoar which has had the honor otj fyeadirjx his herd which will be sold.

From every reliable source conies the w&rning tli^t the supplv ot milk and its products must not only be maintained, but greatly increased to meet the national demands. This fact, coupled with mire tUiin a 1200 condensed milk and a doubling I wish some of the owners of rent ed farms could hear what I hear the men say who rent the farms. While 'talking with one renter he said he did not haul out any more manure on the farm thnn he liaj to because lie would not be there the next year to ge*. the good of it. Another said, "what is the use of lr.e fixing, up the fences, trimming up the grove and hauling mamire when I don't know if I can get this farm i.nother year. 1 am not going to do the work and let svme other fellow get the benefit." Dop't yo'U see that it is the land and the land owner that is getting it "where the chicken got the ax?" The land o\^ner who will ii#t. rent his' fiirni for a longer term than one y^ar is standing, in his own light. Yes, 1 know vt'hat you think about the pos sible increase in the rents. But look here, my friend, you will lose more by the land being, robbed than you could possibly lose in tlje longer per iod pf rental leases. The best, rented farms 1 have seen are the farms where the renter holds a three or five year lease. That, is his home, not a mere reMing place, as the cne year renter Ioo'ks upon his farm. I know many land owners who will not make a lease for a shorter period than ti ree or five ye^fcs. Somo farms have been rented by the same renters from ten to more than twenty years Every one of those farms looks as good us It would if the owrter were farming it himself The buildings and l'eiices are kept in repair and the fertility or productivity of the land has "been pre 1, it tliose fanr.s were placed on the market today they would bring th,e owner at least fifty dollars per acre nVore tlian the farm land thqt has re£n yearly' roboed by tlje renter and its short-sighted owner, who pre ferred it rather than ta,ke a chanoe'qf rents being increased. .Oh, qjy broth er, wake up.

The house was built early last spring. It is 16x40 and the side walls are made of drop siding. It sets up high and dry on a solid ce ment foundation. It lias a board floor and is well looked aftu in the way of sunlight and ventilation. An alley runs through the center and the ir torior is dftfided off i: liens by move partitions and one grand hog house. You fellows who are goins to build one this fall had'better make a few dollars fop yourself by visiting this farm which is located five inlles south of Denison. There is one thing lacking, however. When he builds a cement feeding floor along the south side of this house,I will be satisfied, and so will he. J^ow don't think this is the only up to the minute building oil this farm. He has a building which is riot near so large but. oh man, you should see what a busy little place it is. It is the power house and in this building is located a small gasoline engine which furnishes power to op erate the cream separator, pump wat er—but he assured me that none of it gets into the cream--churns butter, turns grind stone and runs the wash ing machine. In a large and nearly new barn 1 found a part of it devoted to the comfort of his milch cows. It is equipped with the latest improved steel stanchions and the barn h&s alentjr of light- S.tal)s are provided for ten cows and the barn is nicely located to provide ample drainage. —o— as when it came into your hands Go and form a partnership with your renter You furnish the land and he the labor, paying you a stipulated price for the use'of the land.

He is lo cated six miles southwest of Schles wig.

These gentlemen own in partnership, a threshing ma chine outfit and they do their own hbors, who assist in the work for the entire party. This has been a satisfactory arrangement, 1 was told last Saturday. They were then on the last job for this year. I have visited the homes of these gentlemen and found they arc wide awake, industrious, and progressive farmers. Their farms are a model of neatness and everything around tliem gifes evidence of their thrift. —o— 1 caught Win.

He accompanied the shipment and I understand his cattle made him some money. Mr. Wilken is recog nized as being a very successful feed er and no one who knows liim is sur prised that he made money on this shipment, he has a habit of doing it. He will soon have three cars of fat hogs for shipment. His farm is known as Valley Stock Farm and it is located five miles northeast of West Side. —o— A new. arrival, a boy, came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pacholke last Sunday.
