Prominent Hog Baiter Say
Trices Charged Are Un
warranted Makes His
Own Hog Food,
With Better
Kesults.
"That he is all through paying
fancy prices for stock foods and hog
remedies and that he is raising some
of the best hogs ever placed on the
market," was the statement made re
cently liv E. H. Beckstead, well-
known hog raiser and authority on
live stock.
Mr. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
.of his neighbors, and have "topped
the market" for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and hog
remedies, but he is nil through pay
ing extravagant prices for whnt he
can make himself. He state3 that
what the hogs need are minerals, and
tells the secret of his wonderful suc
cess by ex-plaining that he takes
about live pounds of ordinary miner
aline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and cost only a couple of
dollars) and mixes same with enough
bran or filler to make a hundred
pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and are essen
tial to the hoirs urowtli and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get nt it as, they
need it, will produce far better re
sults than any high priced so-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1GU8 North Wells St.,
Chicago, 111., and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. Adv.

ber of years Mr. Howard was inter-
t)l In business In Orchard buying
stock and grain. It Is said tliut Mr.
Howard was the person who named
!tho village of Orchard.
Some time aso 'Mr, Howard was

Lutheran Church Notes
By Rev C. R. Lowe.
We d( al havo any church
service last Sunday on accotnr of
tho snow storm.
The Saloin Ladles' Aid will enter
tain tho community at tho SaVm
church on Friday, February 11, nt
7.30 sharp, nt a "fair." The.o will
bo a program. There is no. to bo
any admittance feo, and no ofering,
nor a collection when you gdt In.
You do not havo to pay to got out
nftor you aro In. It is lntomUM that
you como and have a good time with
your uolghhorg and friends.
Our only object In the above Is 'j
have tho folks get together and fel
at homo ut tho 'liurch. Wo havo
been told a lot about tho value of
tho social life In tho church, and wo
do not iopreclato It at all. If peo
ple do not fool nt homo there they
will hardly ho Induced to become
members In It. If they aro minded
to bocomo members of tho church
they will go somo distance to be
members and not where they do not
find a friendly feeling. And they
can hardly be expected to do other
wise May bo it Is a good theory
that they should, but do not go
much on theory when sentiment Is
running things. And If folks do
not feel' at homo and wolcoma at the
church, what Is going to become of
tho church when tho present genera
tion of people aro gone. It Is not
a question of this particular church,
It Is tho problem of every church.
It may ho a trifle more serious with
the rural church, but we doubt oven
that. It ustiV to bo tho mark of the
ancient church and wap tho wonder
of tho non-chrlstlans, "Behold, how
those christians love ono another,"
and It ought to be tho mark of the
church today to bo friendly with
those who are not of the church to
tho end that they bo brought Into
the church, being nindo to feel that
they aro wanted. This is a lauda
ble aim In the matter of tho social
life of tho community. We are
linked together in a way so that' no
ono Is wholly his own, but ho Is u
nait of his neighbor and tho neigh
bor Is a part of him. If you do not
believe Hint Just try to go through
this summer and Its work and help
nobody, and do not ask anyone to
help you. It will be bad business,
indeed, you will find. There IH a
lot of life that is not lived between
tho plow hanllles. Wo have to havo
.friends; we llko to bo with tho
neighbors. And thero Is a lot of
life that Is above that, even. It Is
fellowship with Ood. This does not
take the plueo of human, fellowship,
nor irf it built upon human fellow
ship, but It presupposes human fol
low ship. "If a man does not lovo
his brother whom ho hns seon, how
can ho love God whom ho has not
seen?" And wo do God a real serv
ice wlion wo servo our follow In the
name of God. And again, "If a man
say In loves (!od and hates his
brother, ho is a liar." My, now, how
can n christian hold a grudgo
against another. Aiid yet thero aro
somo folks who try' to grudgo at a
neighbor and bo a Servant of God at
the snmn time, Rdinombor, thero Is
a lot of difference betweon having
jour name on the church roll and
laving membership in tho "truo
church." Tho true church is the In
ner and spiritual church In which
aro only tho hollevors, the saints,
tho savejL Men cannot bo driven
into tho church n,or compollcd to
stay there. They havo to bo drawn
Into It by the evidences of tho pow
er of the gospel in tho lives of those
who aro there, and as a rulo they
are kept thero because they find
holy fellowship thero. Wo can seo
how it Is possible for a man to re
main faithful and bo alone, to live
on u piano of Christianity where ho
lBvnot moved by the waywardness of
the world and the coldness of his
close friends, but like David and
Job, trust In God, though ho, slay us,
out mat is not the way with most
men. So wo will ho friendly next
Friday night at tho Salem church.
Thero wnH a council meotlnn ot
tho Salem church at tho parsonage
last Friday ufternaon to consider
tho matter of the encroachment of
the river,
Thero will bo a Joint council
