Consult With Engineer On New Hog Buildings

Adams county farmers who are increasing the size of their hog operation consulted last week with ag engineer John Foley, of the Purdue extension office, on new hog buildings on their farms. First stop in the morning was at the Lester Brunner farm in St. Mary's township. Brunner wants to increase his farrowing operation and keep about 20 sows twice a year in farrowing stalls. At present Brunner has laid a cement floor, and plans a new addition to his present barn, 10 feet wide and 48 feet long. A cement yard in front of the binding which will have a wide porch in front, will provide an easily cleaned pen. The floor will be cleaned by tractor power with a scoop blade in front. The new building will be divided i into three fattening pens. The nursery will be in the old barn, and will probably include about 14 stalls. The weaning pen will be near the barn. The main feature of the new extension will be the wide over-

The planned capacity of the new buildings will be 40 sows. The present barn will be used for finishing. A 30 by 50 foot farrowing house will also be constructed. Moser, his son Phil, and ag engineer John Foley made preliminary studies of the plan recently.—(Staff Photo)

hang to provide shade for the fattenting hogs in the summer. The cement is angled so that water used to cool the hogs will rup off, and a mechanical scraper can be used to clean the shaded area. One of the main problems will be that of sanitation. The new addition is close to the nursery, and extreme care will have to be taken. A disinfectant can be placed between the two operations, and everyone passing from the nursery to the weaning area must wade through the disinfectant. This will prevent the spread of any disease from one section to another. Formerly, when all operations were housed together, it was possible for a disease to wipe out the entire operation. Now the operation is split into nursing, weaning, and fattening hogs. Brunner still raises dairy cattle, but is slowly moving away from it. In a few years he will probably concentrate on hogs, he added, if there continues to be money in raising them. - Foley was accompanied by coun-

ty agent Leo N. Seltenright and L. E. Archbold, former county agent and now a Farm Bureau Co-op fieldman. Next, Foley visited the Harold Moser farm in French township. Moser and his son Phil are enlarging their hog operation to handle 40 sows. A 30 by 50 foot farrowing house will be built to the southeast of the present barn. The present nursery will be expanded to a 15 by 80 foot building. A 16 foot concrete slab will be constructed on the south side for watering and feeding. Sows will be grouped three to a pen with their pigs in this unit. The present huge barn will be used for finishing and will be divided into three ,pens with water -and feeders in each unit. The. Mosers have not yet started construction, and wanted some plans to go over before they actually started building. Foley provided them with much material on hog buildings, including mimeo ID-19, “Some considerations in intensified systems of hog production”. This booklet, available through the county agent’s office, is the result of a large conference of experts in engineering, costs, or economics animals husbandry, and veterinary science. The idea was

to design inexpensive buildings for increasing the number of higs raised, but keeping the expenses down and labor costs down. In the noon hour Foley visited with a Berne farmer who also works full-time in that city. The farmer plans to increase his hog production, and is planning new buildings. British Cabinet Reshuffled Today Conservative Party Seeking Support LONDON (UP) — Prime minister Harold Macmillan reshuffled his cabinet today to put a halfAmerican nobleman in command of the Conservative Party drive to recapture popularity before the next general elections. Macmillan named Viscount Hailsham, 50-year-old former newsman, to the post of lord president of the council. Hailsham’s mother was the former Elizabeth Brown, Nhshville, Tenn. Hailsham also will serve as chairman of the Conservative Party, which admittedly has been

Slow Ripening Os Crop In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Cool weather played hob with the Indiana tomato crop during the past week but prevented labor shortages from developing The Indiana Employment Security Division reported in its weekly farm labor bulletin that the slow ripening of the crop delayed an expected shortage of help to harvest and pack it. The story was the same throughout the state. Anderson reported the crop getting heavier bitt■ c ‘still far below last year.” Columbus reported picking ‘‘not too good.”' Fort Wayne said the volurtie delivered to plants was the “lowest in years” and growers and canners are counting on a late frost to boost their total tonnage. The Indianapolis area found the crop showing “some improvement in quantity and quality with processing activities due to peak this weekend. Slightly warmer weather helped the crop in the Kokomo area but any additional rain or cold weather was expected to “hurt very much at this time.” Most growers were hoping for only an average yield. Lafayette said its crop is ripening better. But there will be no peak, as early tomatoes are finishing just as the late crop ripens. Ripening was slowed by cool damp weather in the Lawrenceburg area. Logansport reported processing plants operating at capacity. Marion said warmer days and nights were increasing the ripening and processing plants probably would start a full-time run this week “Tomatoes still slow in ripening,” Muncie reported. “The pack is still in the field. Out-of-state workers leaving slowly due to work shortage.” New Castle said tomatoes not only are ripening slowly but their size is small. Texas’ cement industry produced 24 million barrels of cement valued at $64,800,000 during 1956.

Firing Os Second Missile Fizzles One Rocket Roars Off Launching Ramp CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UP) — A small, speedy rocket roared off its launching ramp here Monday but the firing of a second and larger missile apparently fizzled when leaking fuel burst into flames before it could take off. Witnesses near this top secret base said the flames were quickly doused in a thick cloud of vapor. When - the smoke cleared, the big rocket, believed to be the Air Force's Thor, was still standing and leaking fuel. It appeared to have suffered little or no damage from the flames. Observers said they noted the gleaming white projectile was apparently leaking fuel when the red and white tower was rolled away at about 1 p.m. in preparation for the launching. The fuel continued to pour from a point about mid-w-ay up the missile for nearly two hours. It was then the flames and - smoke began to- belch from the base of the missile. « Officials at the base and in Washington refused to comment on the fire or identify either of the missiles. The other projectile thundered off its launching pad about 2 p.m. A United Press cameraman observed the rocket in flight from the beach about three miles from the launching site. He said it went straight up to a high altitude and leveled off to disappear out over the Atlantic in the space of a few seconds. “It rumbled and roared for several seconds like a big rolling clap of thunder,” the cameraman said. “It moved so fast, we could see only an black object on top of a big ball of fire.” At Long Last PROVIDENCE, R. I. W — It took 17 years, but Mrs. Adrienne Lavalie, 34, of Woonsocket finally has received her bachelor's degree. In 1940 she enrolled at the Providence College School of Adult Education. The other day she got her degree after her college career had been interrupted repeatedly by marriage, motherhooi and household responsibilities.

Missing Girl Calls To Tell Elopement Polio Victim Tells Os Eloping Sunday CHICAGO (IPI — A 16-year-old polio victim, paralyzed from the waist down, today phoned her mother from New York to Inform her she had eloped with her husky boy friend. Marion Halstead Lilac had been the object of a police search since she disappeared Sunday when her boy friend took her to a movie. News of her marriage dispelled fears she had met with foul play. “I hope to God it's an elope-ment,”-her father, Burton Halstead, had said when she failed to return with her escort, Eugene Lilac, 23. Lilac had apparently driven to Tonawanda, N.Y., to his father’s home to marry the crippled girl. The young couple had planned to marry, Halstead said, but agreed to postpone the wedding until Marion’s 17th birthday. The Halsteads said earlier they approved of their prospective son-in-law and knew their daughter would come to no harm while with Lilac, a 210-pound furnace repairman. Lilac had taken Marion from her home Sunday afternoon in her wheel chair. They had not been heard from since he called later in the day to inform her parents they would be “late” getting home. During a day spent in reading, muscles move the eye something like 100,060 times. Eye muscles are about 100 times as strong as they need be and are among the most exercised muscles in the body.
