THE FRANKLIN fKfc.33 THURSDAY, OCTOCER 6, 1227 PACE SIX Just About the Farm Just a word .in regard to the can nery. There seems to be an idea prevalent that the ' cannery is one glorious good failure; not being run right; wrong methods installed, and generally, just a still-born proposition. If those clitics would take the trouble to post themselves on all factors con nected with, and underlying, the or ganization and installation of a propo sition of this kind they would, in com mon fairness, have to admit that they have hollowed a long time before the hurt "came. One outstanding cause of failure in these propost.ions is trying to do too much at first. This Cannery was oganized with the view of being ready to go to work next season. The reasons for this are too numerous to mention here, but 'will gladly be given to any interested party who will call at the county agent's office. One of the -main causes of the slowness of procedure of this can nery is the very vital fact that there are numerous subscribers, who have paid nothing on their subscription, and many more who have paid only a part. . Several, however, have paid up in full. - ' . In the old days of Moses we were taught to put our own house in order .before criticising others. In regard to the co-operative hog -sale, which is booked for the 12th vinst., there seems ot be some expla nation indicated as to the procedure. "It is simply this': I infom all packers -with in shipping radius of Franklin, and invite them to either have a representative here to bid on the hogs or submit their bid by wire, based, on No. 1 hogs, stating at the same time the differential to be used be tween the different grades. After be ing listed with me and approximate weights given by the owners, I pass the information on to the prospective buyers, in' order that they may be as -well posted as posible, prior to sub mitting their bids. The hogs are delivered to the yard Jhere, weighed into the yard and graded. After that, buyers present bid on the hogs and then any bids sent by wire are opened and compared an'1 the hogs are sold to the man paying ,the most money, all things considered. There ae many factors to consider. For instance, if there is only .1,000 pounds of No 1 hogs and 10,000 -pounds of No. 2 hogs, and one tu. 11 i r ii vr i i . llltflil uiun ii vl.hi;, iyj nil; au, j, iiuo - and 9 cents on No. 2 that is his (the buyer's) differential, makes No. 2 hogs come to 9 cents a pound then if another buyer bids only 11 cents on No. 1 ,' hogs and his differential makes the No. 2 hogs bring 10 cents to 10 1-2 cents per pound, which would you take? , Now a word as to the kind of hogs the packers pay the most money for. This is what is called the handy near-by weight hog, running around 200 to 225 pounds. They must be smooth nd as young as possible; not over a year old at the outside, for you can't get a smooth hog in the No. 1 class that is over a year old. The packers, also, offer a premium on standard fed hogs, that is a hog fed on balanced ration, including min erals; and attains the weight of 200 pounds between, 4 nad 6 months old. . Now, in regard to both of the above questions, if any Macon county citi zen has any doubt in his mind re garding them, I am herefto explain to the best of my abality,?and will most cheerfully do so. The only way that we can know how to get into modern methods is by asking questions of those supposed to know. For the information of all those de siring it, I wish to advise that I have vaccination syringes and vaccine on hand for one or two chicken dis eases and for hog cholera. ' Any one wishing to ship hogs is hereby advised that they cannot ship them without they have had 'the simple hog cholera serum inoculation.
