Pig Club Formed. A limited number of boys of the county between the ages of twelve and twenty, will receive registered gilts without cash outlay, arrording to plana made by a few breeders of pure-bred hogs last Saturday. A number of breeders have ’agreed to furnish registered gilts to boys with the understanding that they shall return the best sow pig from the first litter and six per cent i»terest on the original value of the gilt. \ The purpose of this distribution is to encourage the production of better hogs and offers the young maw an opportunity to engage in a profitable business with a small outlay. Persons desiring to receive Jig? should apply to the county agent. Who Has Experience in Rolling Oats? “If rolling is good for wheat.' why will it not give good results on oats?” is the question that Toben Brothers of Jordan township expect to solve this suimmer. They have a piece of loose muck grontid; sown to oats which they expect to keep rolled as long as possible this I spring. They will leave an waroUled strip for comparison.

The -zs were appraised by the committee at $5.20 per head. In addition to the farmers named last week, John Jay of Carpenter township, will conduct a trial with twenty-five Chester White pigs, using corn and tankage with the pigs running on timothy and clover pasture. Fertilizer Tests Start. To throw light upon the question of the profitableness of fertilizers under present conditions a number of farmers are making comparisons of the results obtained with different combinations. Joseph Kolhoff of Jordan township is running an experiment to determine the value of manure. H® has laid out a series of plots in his corn field which will receive applications of manure at various dates. Next fall the corn will be weighed up and compared to determine the rate most profitable, R. L. Budd of Union tewssJrip will run trials with manure, aead phosphate and dublex basic slag. James W.
