CROSS-BRED HOGS NOT BEST FEEDERS Very often it is said that a cross bred hog makes a better feeder than a pure-bred animal, but William Pless inger, southwest of Rushville has had experience that shows that it does not always prove out that way. In fact he had fed out two bunches of hogs that proved the statement does not always hold true. On April 12 he sold a bunch of fall pigs that were farrowed the latter part of August, among which were thirteen head of pure-bred Poland and Durocs. According to his report, the thirteen pure-breds averaged 250 pounds, while the cross-breds averaged only 210 pounds, a difference of 40 pounds in favor of the pure bred hog. According to Mr. Plessinger’s statement regarding his experience with feeding these hogs, there was not more than 10 days difference between the first and last litters farrowed, and in fact that majority of the crossbreeders were among the first litters farrowed. These hogs received a ration of corn and tankage. The tankage was fed in a self feeder and the corn was hand-fed until the last month of the feeding period, when the tankage was discontinued and ground corn jjas fed in self-feeders. —Rushville Republican.

The Geneva Boosters broke their losing streak yesterday afternoon when they defeated the Winchester team in a thrilling contest, which finally resulted six to eight. Although the veteran Braden allowed his opponents only three scattered hits, one a single, one a double ami the last a homo run, which came with the bases loaded, the visitors managed to gather six runs, while the Boosters were piling up eight out of nine hits. Numerous errors in the outfield were committed, due to the high velocity of the wind which swept the grounds during the entire game and made judging of high ones extremely difficult. For six innings the score stood at 2 to 1 in favor of the Boosters when two in the seventh and four more in the eighth began to make a one sided iffair of it. Then in the ninth, with the bases full and two down an error by Braden who threw to first to get a man for the last out forced in a funner and left the bases still full. Edwards, the visiting twirler, who had ttruck out three times previously hammered the ball clear out of the lot "or a home run and cleared the bases before him.
