IU-OOMINGTON, 111.. Oct. 9. Illinois leads the union in the number of pig, calf and sheep clubs for boys and girls of the farm. Reports just compiled show that several thousand young people enrolled this year and fire now cashing in as a result of their fix months' care of the live stock entrusted to them. In the United States there are 50,000 pig club members alone, producing 10,000,000 pounds of dressed pork, valued at $3,000,000. Tho calf and sheep clubs are about half as numerous, with perhaps 25,000 enrolled. . The pig and calf club boys have aught the adults the superiority of the pure bred over the scrub. They have also taught them that good individual animals bring fancy prices. Before the pifr clubs became numtous, it was difiicult to induce a tarnr to pay $10 for a pnod hog. Now 'hey pay $50 to $10i" for thoroughbred stock ar.d believe that they are mak ing a wise investment. There is evidence in abundance that the pig club works euccesfully in stimulating the f:wine industry. Tt. is a practical and constructive means of stressing economy of production through the utilization of wastes, by products, f.nd grazing crops, as well as through the use of good breeding stock and their proper care, feeding 1 T 1 1 . . - .

or the problems ot swme nusnanury. These objects are attained through the

innate appeal of animal life to young people. Many Bankers Interested. Many bankers of Illinois have become "interested in the pig and calf clubs. In many cities these men have offered to finance the purchase of the animals, to be repaid after the sale was effected later in the season. One of the outstanding effects of the pig and calf club work, is the improvement in feeding methods by adults who have become interested in tho scientific methods adopted by the progressive youth. In some neighborhood radical changes in character of the feeding have been made as a result of the demonstrations made by the beys.

The close record kept by the members of the pig clubs, snowing the gains in weight and nature of the feeding, furnishes statistics on rate and costs that adults have wanted to know but were not certain how this informs tion could be secured. Those who have witnessed the pig club exhibits at the various fairs in Illinois this season, will realize the truth of this statement. The intelligence displayed by club members, the responsiveness of the pigs to good care and kind treatment, the high quality of the exhibits and the business-like air of the contestants, has stimulated men to the point where they, too, want to produce high-class stock and enjoy the thrill that goes with successful achievement. The pig club is carried on through eo-opera.tion between the Animal Husbandry Division of the Bureau of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. A swine specialist, supported by funds appropriated by congress, goes to the states seeking his services, and he supervises the operation of the various clubs, and is consulted upon methods and technical advice. He arranges state exhibits, judging contests, etc., and supplies rules and regulations. The individual work of these arents would accomplish but little were it not for the splendid co-operation extended by the bankers, business men. breeders and others interested. The work succeeds because the agent multiplies his influence through all the co-op-

Those who are familiar with the pig and calf club work realize that it means more than the mere feeding of a pig or a calf to make a few dollars profit. The improvement in the quality of the breeding stock; the increased interest in live stock production; the improved methods; and the greater resulting profits, are important factors in the economic and social development of each district in which the club work is carried on. At, the annual swine show in this city, 22 boys and girls exhibited the pigs which they were feeding and there was more interest in the entries of the young people than any other. For the first time, special prizes were offered for club raised pigs, and this was an extra inducement to the juveniles. Points of merit were counted upon the pig itself, the gain in weight and the cost per pound. A lad of Dry Grove township won the first prize. His pig cost him $18, and in three months had increased in value to $125, the total expense for feed was $41.20. The department of agriculture hopes to enroll loo, 000 boys and girls in the pig, calf and sheep club next year. The results of this year's clubs have been ahead of the most sanguine expectations.

THE KING CLERMONT,

"ALL FUEL" BASE HEATER

Champion Combination Range, Coal or Gas

Gets All the Heat from the Fuel The Clermont is unlike most heaters as the heat and burning gases are made to travel up and down and cross-wise in the heater before reaching the stove-pipe outlet. Every degree of heat delivered by the fire and burning gases i3 thereby absorbed by the Iron and gent Into your rooms.

Why the heat cannot escape. Most heaters waste fully onehalf of the heat given off by the fire; the heat and smoke pass directly from the fire-pot into the stove-pipe and out of the chimney. In the King Clermont the fire doesn't pass directly from the fire-pot into the chimney. Instead, if you will note the illustration, you will see that the products of combustion pass into the upper chamber of the flue back located on the rear of the stove. Drawn down to the base and then back to the top of the stove before it is allowed to enter the smoke pipe. Three tinves as much fire travel as on any other all-fuel stove, of equal size, and by having this lengthy fire travel insures you of getting every degree of heat out of your fuel. These big powerful flues contain 1S00 square inches of radiating surface. Think what this means and you will realize how much more heat you can get from a King Clermont than from a heater where the fire passes directly from the stove into the chimney. You don't have to fuss until noon to get your house warm. You can check off the stove at night and in the morning turn on the drafts and your fire will come up evenly. You can at all times have absolute control of the fire. You can start up a hot fire within a few minutes and have your rooms warm in a very short time, even on the coldest winter days.
