ADAMS COUNTY LEADS IN STATE TON-LITTER CONTEST t;'- ' ' ■ ' ilflft Joseph P. Habegger, Adams County, I ndiana.and the Three Litters (32 pigs) That Weighed More Than 4 Tons at 6 Months of Age.

Editor’s Note: The following article and accompanying photograph, appeared In a recent issue of tile Farmer's Guide, and the same an- reproduced herewith through the courtesy of that magazine. By Janies H. White if you want to know how ton litters tire produced take a trip to Adams county, Indiana. Not that hog production is the chief agricultural enterprise in this eastern county, or that this project is encouraged above all other phases of farming, for such is not the case. Almost every farmer has a few sows and is doing a good job of raising quick-maturing porkers. Sometime ago, when Indiana's ton . litters were officially weighed and the f nal summary made, it was found I that the farmers of Adams county * ' produced 10 of the 79 high litters and that Joseph P. Habegger grew three of the 10. Thus this county ranked firs.t in the state contest, while Wells county stood second with eight ton litters, Tippecanoe third with seven winners, and Washington county held fourth place with five litters weigh ing over 2.000 pounds at 6 months of ago. In Tippecanoe county six of the seven ton litters were produced on the Purdue farm. I When the last litter to be weighed passed over the scales, it was reveal in the Adams county contest had ed that Otto Hoile led all entries with a litter of 13 Chester White pigs [which totaled 2.775 pounds. Mr. Hoik !uas the high man in the 1924 con test, and if he should w*n the event again in 1927, the Schmitt trophy will become his permanent property for being the first man to lead the con I test in three years. C. W. R. Schwartz won second place in the < >mnty w th a litter of 10 cross-bred I uroe-Poiaud Chinas weighing 2.697 I pounds. Probably the most outstand,ir.g accomplishment of the local contest. if not. the state, was that of Mr. Habegger who produced 32 pigs, in three litters consisting of 10, 11 and II animals each, having a total weight of more than 4 tons. All three litters were grade Durocs and weighed 2.686, 2,678 and 2,662 pounds respectively. In all there were 68 farmers vho entered the ton-litter contest last spring. Os this number only 30 nominated their litters while the remainder obviously did not weigh Three-eyed Calf Born Os Pedigreed Stock i Williamsfield. Ohio, May 14 — (United Press) —If the ghost of P. T. Bar- | num should hover over the Mullen farm near here it would surely turn ;>n envious green at the sight of one of the greatest freaks of nature in the history of animal husbandry or

i (time museums. A pure-bred holstein cow, direct descendent of a long line of pedigreed ■ stock, has given birth to a calf which ’ has two heads, three eyes, four ears. two hearts and two complete sets of leg muscles. Livestock experts have advanced the opinion that the calf was destined to be twins, but through some 1 queer freak of nature, came into this world in one body. | John W. Kananen, owner of the freak has been offered SI,OOO for the an mal, dead or alive, by the Cleveland Museum, while a New York freak show has offered $1,500. So far he has refused all offers and is . expected to take the calf on a show tour of the country this summer. The hair on the animal is about, two inches long, very shaggy and resembles that of a dog's. It hai two cutside eyes and two eyes in one socket directly in the center of the head and two noses. It was born with two ears, but two more have started . to grow as have two extra horns. It stands about three feet high and i is of'normal weight. ’ Because of two tongues, two sets of i teeth and two sets of jaw muscles. . the animal has a difficult time when J eating. The handicap of double mus- ’ cles prevents it from completely clos--1 ing its moutm •! The animal is of ordinary intelligence. It follows the children on the ■ farm about and when it sees them approaching with tood it runs to meet 1 ( them. Considerable difficulty is experienced by the animal in locoinot on. The double muscles do not

nough to be considered. Os the score md a half litters that were nomlnited, only 18 finished the competition by weighing up their entries at the •nd of the 180-day period. The third Adams county farmer to produce a ton litter was D. C. Nussbaum who grew 11 cross-bred Spotted Poland China-Durocs weighing 2.378 rounds, while other winners Included Albert Davison with nine pure bred "oland Chinas weighing 2,317 pounds;' John E. Heimann. 10 grade Durocs totaling 2.206 pounds; Leonard Sprunger, nine pure-bred Durocs, 2,059 pounds; and John Blakey with eight pure-bred Durocs weighing 2,043 pounds. County Agent L. M. Busche states that a total of 22 litters qualified for medals in the county. Os these. 10 litters were awarded gold medals, seven received silver badges and five were given bronze emblems. This feat also places Adams county well in the lead for when considering the silver and bronze medals awarded in other counties it is not’d that Wells county secured only two of each; Tippecanoe three silver ■md two bronze, and Washington two of both bronze and silver badges. A summary of the county's achievenents shows that the 10 high litters iveraged 10.2 pigs per litter, and the iverage weight of each pig on the 180th day was 240 pounds. Os those securing silver medals for weighing !,800 pounds or more, the average itter consisted of 8.4 pigs weighing 220.2 pounds each. The litters weighng 1,600 pounds or more, and which •eceived bronze medals, averaged •ine to the litter with an average weight of 191.9 pounds per pig. Ben Mazelin had the distinction of feeding the Utter with the heaviest iverage weight, for his seven crossbred Duroc-lroianil Chinas averaged 279.6 pounds to the animal. C. W. R. Schwartz was second in this ranking with an average of 269.7 pounds; Joseph P. Habegger, third, 268.6 rounds; and Albert Davison, fourth vith a 257.4 pound average. Forty-two silver medals were disni bated in the state following the eonipletion of the contest and among ‘.he Adams county winners were: Ben f». Mazelin, William Burke, Chris P. Steury, Martin Habegger, Elmer Inni;er Orval Jones and Leonard Sprung•r. who also received a gold badge on . j s heaviest litter. '

I seem to coordinate and the calf’s ' progress is slow and laborious. Most of the time the animal stands very stiff. | The huge eye in the middle of the two heads is slowly deteriorating and it is believed the sight of this organ will soon be lost. The freak nearly died a few months ago. Its hair became so long it had to be clipped and as a result the calf ' caught cold. O— Americanism Department Os Legion Is Changed Indianapolis, Ind., May'l4—(UP)— I A change in the Americanism depart- . meut of the American Legion gave rise to reports today that officials of the service organisation were at dif- | ference over policies of the depart- ' merit.

Gross, of Golden, Colo. i head of the Department, was succeeded by Daniel Sowers of Louisville, . head of the community betterment deI partinent.

It in a syndicate of objectors. conscientious and otherwise, of faultflndera, of rebels more or less aware of what the are rebelling against, in other words, a society of the aiiti-everythlng. Anybody who has ever heard a pair of Paris taxi-drivers hurl forth invective in a traffic jam, or a band of merrymakers arguing whether the bone or the metal collar button is the better, using up the entire dictionary of the Academy in futile attempts to be aggressive, will understand that there was need for organization. The national pastime of the French seems to be yelling at something or against somebody. They never get anywhere but they seem to get something off their chests. That is what Marcel Chatrain thought and he translated his Idea into action. He remarked that the dickers were usually isolated and
