The Farm and Farmer

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN

County Agent Campbell, of Liberty, says that so far as he has learned,

the hog population of Union county is enjoying good health. There may be

sporadic cases of sickness, but nothing serious has been reported of late.

This column belongs to the farmer

and he is invited to contribute to it. It also belongs to the farmer's wife and her letters relating to any matter of interest to farm women will be wel

comed.. Your experience with live

stock, and the results of your poultry raising will often interest your neighbors, and may help solve some of their

problems. The proper care of fruit

and shade trees, the art of productive gardening and the profit from proper

cultivation of your vines and berry

patches, all of these are within your farming experience and its telling will interest both citjr and country readers The city garden and the back lot poul

try farm are here to stay. Profitable Hog Sale At the November sale of - Chester White hogs by Frank E. Sherer, of

Aledo, Illinois, twenty boars averaged

$381.25 and fifteen gilts averaged $130. This does not indicate that good breeding stock are to be given away because hogs are down in price.. Among the Wayne county men who are in attendance at the Farm Bureau convention at Indianapolis, are: Theo. Davis, of Greensfork; Earl Crawford, of Milton, and J. L. Dolan, Wayne county agent. Many representative

farmers who are not delegates, are present from several states, so great is the interest in the proceedings. Indiana Has Five Delegates The "Johns" have it. Of the five Indiana delegates to the Farm Bureau convention, three are named "John" and two of them John Brown, at that. There is John G. Brown, of Monon; John J. Brown, of Rockport, and John N. Dyer, of Vincennes. The two remaining are J. W. Mertz. of Corrunna, and B. F. Catberwood, of Mulberry. Meeting Precedes Farm Drive Shelby county farmers 'will meet in annual session at Sbelbyville on Dec. 15. It will be an all-day affair and will be addressed by John N. Dyer, of Vincennes, the principal speaker of the occasion. The morning will be devoted to the election of officers and the preparation for a membership drive, and the afternoon to a program of entertainment. Sow Lives 36 Years The Breeders' Journal, of Des Moines, Iowa, is responsible for a story relating to Black Betty, a bigboned Berkshire sow that tfUs pur

chased from a trader in 1865 and expired at the ripe old age of 36 years in 1900. She was owned by the same family all those years, as the letter from her owner attests. The writer slates ..that this sow was bought by his father, who died in 1890, and then became his property. A record was kept as to the number of her progeny, which totaled 550 pigs. Figuring these at 300 pounds at time

of sale, and at an average price of

four cents per pound, her earnings were $10,200. Honored With Marker

Black Betty's owner writes that

"she was buried on the home farm, and her resting place is honored with a marker, which reads: "Born 1864, Died 1900. In memory of Black Betty, aged 36 years, who brought into this pork-loving world during her strenuous life 850 children, aggregating 255,000 pounds of pork, valued in the markets of the world at $10,200, this memorial stone is erected." The writer lived near Lynchburg, Tenn., at the time of writing, says the editor, whom, sad to relate, fails to give the name of his 'correspondent who wrote him several years ago.

CHILEAN MINERS MAY MAKE COAL FIELDS

CLOSE ALL SALOONS . I (By Associated Press) I SANTIAGO, Dec. 8. Coal fields In southern Chile will become "dry" soon if a provision of an agreement just signed between the miners and operators is enacted into law, and the fields may even become "bone dry" if a measure now before parliament is adopted. The agreement apparently has settled a long standing controversy between the workers and their employers over questions of wages and hours of work, and says among other things: "The representatives of the companies and workmen agree to ask the public authorities to declare the coal region completely dry. prohibiting the introduction and sale of alcoholic drinks. While this measure is being enacted, they ask the prohibition of sale of liquor during pay days." The newspaper. Ultimas Noticias, commenting on the provision, says it is "worthy of note that the prohibition movement in Chile i? supported with great strength by labor." The newspaper asks early enactment of a measure introduced some months ago by Deputy Adrien, of the Democratic party, to which a large element of labor belongs, which forbids "the introduction, manufacture, sale or consumption of any kind of distilled-or fermented drinks" not only in the coal fields but in the nitrate regions as well. The bill has not yet been debated in the chamber.
