Pigs Will Talk
Standard Food
When Fed by good feeders than all we could say on this
whole page. If you want to know this, talk with those
who have fed it or become a feeder of it yourself. It will make
200 POUND PIGS AT SIX MONTHS.
The Cost of feeding Standard Food to pigs from the time
they are weaned at two months of age and until they
are six months old is as follows: Wo will take 100 pigs
to feed.
Ist mo. 1 lb. to 40 head—2| lbs per day, 75 pounds
2d “ 1 lb. to 30 “ —3l “ “ “ 67
3d “ 1 lb. to 25 “ —4 “ “ “ 80
4th “ 1 lb. to 20 “ —5 “ “ “ 100
They are now six months old and 322 pounds of the
Standard Food has been used at a cost of sl2 per cwt., or
$38.64, less than 39 cents per head, which is nothing compar
ed with the benefits derived from its use, by an extra gain
of flesh and by shortening the fatening period, which saves
grain. Besides this you have your hogs in better condition
to ward off disease, which is worth all the Food costs.
It costs but little to feed Standard Food during the fatten
ing period and farmers in lowa, Nebraska and Illinois are
rapidly taking hold of Standard Food, and many who have
been using it for years now buy it by the ton.

Sabbath with Utting ceremonies. Bish
op Thos. Bowman, of Chicago, ollici
ated. On Friday evening Rev. Worth,
of Red Oak, preached an able discourse
and on Saturday evening, Sunday
morning, afternoon and evening our
people were permitted to hear the emi
nent bishop. He is earnest, able and
eloquent in his defense of Christian
faith, and the simplicity with which
he presents his subjects gives him
great power and favor with the people.
Rev. Plummer, of Anita, and Rev.
Carpenter, of Viola Center, were also
in attendance. At the completion of
the church the association found an in
debtedness of eight hundred and fifty
dollars against it, and it was feared
that, owing to the steingency of the
times, they might not be able to raise
this large sum. These fears were un
founded. Nine hundred and twenty
five dollars was raised without the
least trouble and the amount could
have easily been increased, had it been
necessary. This building and the
grounds are now wholly paid for, and
it is one of the finest church properties
in Audubon county, and an ornament
to the beautiful town of Audubon, of
which every citizen feels justly proud.
Great credit is due to Revs. Yaggy,
Heilman and Astleford for the great
labor that this enterprise has cost them,
and the people who contributed so lib
erally have the heartfelt thanks of the
Evangelical Association. The dedica
tion of this beautiful edifice, under
such favorable circumstances is a
grand victory for the association and a
fine testimonial to the liberality and
enterprise of our people. This denom
ination is being greatly prospered in
Audubon county and its influence for
good is becoming a potent factor.

THE AUDUBON COUNTY FAIR.
A Pronounced Success. Great Credit Due the
Management.
It was with many misgivings and
with what was thought to be a certain
ty of failure that the Audubon County
Agricultural society went about the
fair preparations for this year. Hard
times, the drouth, and the short crops
all prophesied the failure of county
fairs. But we are happy to say that
the clouds rolled by and the fair is one
of the most successful ever held in
Audubon county. Good exhibits, good
attendance and great interest is, in
brief the history of the fair of '9L The
management is happy and we are all
grateful to the men composing it for
the energy and perservance with which
they have made the fair so successful.

one found it out at the fair.

Audubon county fair had so many or
such a high class of horses entered for
the races.
The base ball game of yesterday af
ternoon hit the Audubon fans with a
sickening thud. The game was cap
tured by Exira by a score of 14 to G.
The “Cigarettes” put up the best field
ing game but were weak at the bat,
while Exira had a couple of new men
who swatted the pigskin right and left.
The work of Umpire Heath was very
unsatisfactory and Audubon had the
worst of it every time. We under
stand the "Cigarettes” will play at Ex
ira Friday and hope that they will
have better success than on yesterday.
Agricultural and other exhibits are
very creditable. A list of the prem
iums awarded will bo given as soon as
determined by the fair directors.
The candidate was at the fair in all
his glory, strengthening the support of
his friends and smoothing the rutiled
plumage of foes.

WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN.
Central Station, |
Des Moines, lowa, Sept. 4, 1891. \
The daily temperature of the past
week ranged from three to seven de
grees above normal, The extn me
drouthy conditions were mitigated by
light showers on Sunday and Monday,
extending over the larger portion of
the state.
The drying and ripening process has
gone on rapidly and early planted corn
is now near the line of safety from
damage by frost. Cutting for fodder
is now general In all parts of the state,
and more than 50 per cent of the en
tire acreage will be cut and fed with
out husking, in the southern districts
fully 80 per cent will be cut and used
as fodder, the grain being separated
by threshing. There is no change in
the condition of pastures and imma
ture crops.
