According to figures which havo
been compiled by Secretary Mollor, of
the stato board of agriculture, tho
acreago of corn In Lincoln county
this year was 121,170, tho avorago per
ncro was 2G.S bushols, tho total raised
w'as 3,510,490 bushols, and tho valuo,
If figured at fifty cents por bushel,
would bo $1,757,745.
In the total bushels produced Lin
coln county stands twenty-sixth In
tho list of nlncty-threo counties; but In
yield por ncro wo fall below tho mid
dle of tho list. In tho number of acres
wo stand eleventh. Probably one rea
son why our yield Is low compared
with other counties is because our
acreago por farmer Is so largo that the
tillage Is somewhat neglected. And
then, again, Lincoln county Is not con
sidered In tho corn bolt of Nobraska
Howovor, when wo grow threo and a
half million bushels of corn wo arc
doing nulto well, thank you.

Early Pigs Pay
better than late ones.
They have a longer pas
ture season and make
more j)ork from grass.
They can be kept on grass
until almost i. ready for
market.
They make not only more
use of pasture, but also more
ECONOMICAL use of all
feed, because they can be fin
ished for market before cold
weather sets in. Gains in
weight cost more in feed
after winter weather begins.
The one thing necessary in
raising early pigs is a good
hog house. There are a great
many kinds of hog houses.
Come in and discuss your
plans with us. Together we
can select the type best suited
to your requirements. Re
member, it costs you nothing
for the help we give. We
have all necessary materials.
