‘SENATOR, | TOLD MY FRIENDS ABOUT 1T, THEY TOLD THEIR 1 about “Right-Cut” they “ call it the Real Tobacco Chew. Right there you have the secret of “Right-Cut’ success —the fact that it has so many advantages causes men to tell the good news to their friends. A little chew of pure, rich, mellow tpbacco—put fine, | short shred—seasoned and sweeteqegl just enough, cuts 1 out so much of the grinding and spitting. Take a very small chew—less than one-quarter the old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful of ordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find the strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away. Then let it rest. See how easily and evenly the real tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without grinding, how much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisfied. That’s why it is The Real Tobazco Chew. That's why it costs less in the end. Itis a ready chew, cut fine and short shred so that you won't have to grind on it with your tceth. Grinding on ordinary candied tobacco makes you spit too much. ‘ ' HEN men tell their friends lTicorice, Notice how the salt brings out the rich tobacco taste in “Right-Cut.” 1 One small chew takes the place of two big chews of the old kind.

A sow that produces ten pigs, all growthy and strong, brought to wean- ing age as even as “peas in a pod,” is making more. money for her owner than a sow that produces fourteen pigs; four of which are runts that will lose |, money for their owner and the loss on which must be taken from the profit. on the ten to.find the real credit due the sow.

Don’t let it freeze. For 100 pounds of beef or hams use nine pounds of salt. four ounces of saltpeter, two ounces of saleratus and two quarts of molasses or brown sugar.

Therefore the val; ue of any pigs above four could prop- erly be considered profit on the sow. What is made on the pigs themselves will depend upon what they pay for the feed they eat. . As a general proposition, it may be figured that large litters—over eight | pigs—pay better than smaller litters, | and there is no danger of ‘exceeding, the practical limit in size of litters. While exceptional sows appear that, may produce close to twenty pigs at a litter, there seems to be a natural limit to the number of pigs a sow will produce, beyond which-breeders have, been unable to go. Many who raise pure bred hogs have, among other things, selected constantly for prolifi- cacy. Still, pure bred swine continue to average about the same number of pigs in each litter, the average for all| breeds probably falling not far above | eight pigs. It is likely grade sows do |. not reach this good average. The hog feeder will do well to select | always such sows as give promise of; heavy milking and large litters. Some,]. of the very best sows for producing | market hogs are by no means speci- mens of porcine beauty. They may be, angular and long snouted, but we may. be sure they have great, long, deep middles and large, well placed udders. They produce a lot of pigs and feed them well. B RATIONS FOR SHEEP. Frequent Change of Roughage Promotes: Health of Animals. B During the season when the flock is confined to a dry ration the feed shonld. { be changed as often as possible. The animals will then eat their ration with a greater relish and a more favorable |- development will result. In the case of pregnant ewes the change will be beneficial to the unborn progeny. With the wide range of roughage that can be grown upon the farm no keeper can have a reasonable excuse |. for not supplying his flock with a fre- | quent change of feed. It is not neces- sary that several different rations be compounded and fed alternately, but.}. rather the feeding of a variety each: - day. Any program of rotation is un- necessary, but vary the bill of fare. If clover hay is given in the morning feed oat straw at noon and corn sto- |: ver at night. This may be reversed from time to time and other things: substituted. Do not feed an abun- dance of any one thing, even though ft| is relished and greedily consumed by the flock. It is not so important that the igrain | ration be varied, but the wider the |’ range of grains that go to make it ap’| the better. Especially is this trne when pregnant ewes are being fed.” Grain rations - that are highly nutritious’ should be fed with caution; for afte sheep have reached maturity they take on flesh very easily. and it is not ad- visable that they carry a large amount of snrplns fat.

OF MINES This map clearly shows the mines of the Vermillion Range— four of which are.operated by the U. S. Steel Co., and the mine of the Vermillion & Mesaba Iron Co., only about a mile from these great mines from which millions of tons of Minnesota’s mineral wealth has been taken out. The ore found in the Vermillion & Mesaba mine is of .Bessemer ‘grade, from 599, to over 649, and averaging over 60%. This grade of ore is always in demand, bringing a high price on the market. In the ore market this grade is like No,' 1 Hard in the wheat market. An exploration shaft has beerr sunk to a 300 foot level and a stock pile of clean ore is near this shaft. The Duluth & Iron Range Railway, which now runs within three-quarters of a mile of this stock pile, has obtained its right of way to the mine and is ready to lay the tracks and take the ore as soon as the officers of this company say they are ready. The Ore has been carefully estimated. Engineers estimate that the mine can be equipped with- machinery and put in active operation within ninety days. In order to purchase this machinery and put ore on the market in the shortest possible time, the company has decided to sell 109,000 shares of the common stock, which is full paid and non- assessable. The small size of the issue and the fact that the company has already invested twice the amount of the par. value of these 100,000 shares in exploration and development work clearly indicates the intention of the officers of the company to put the mine ona paying basis at the lowest possible cost in the shortest possible time. ‘The officers of the company have been approached several times relative to an advance royalty, and have refused an offer of an advance royalty which would give a clear profit to the company of 36 cents per ton without-any effort in operating the mine. That this mine will be a very profitable one is in- - “dicated by the size of the vein already found and the Treasurer, W. E. Kennedy, Duluth, Minn. W. C.

The other five mines in this district, which" are situated within a radius of two miles, only about.a mile distant from the Vermillion & Mesaba mine, have already made millions of dol- lars for their owners. All of these mines are in active operation, four of them being operated by the United States Steel Corporation When proper machinery is installed there should be no reason why the Vermillion & Mesaba Iron Company mine ought not to produce as much iron ore as any of the other mines in this district. _The first shaft of the Vermillion & Mesaba Iron Companies’ mines. This ore is of Bessemer grade, averaging over 60%. Operations of the U. 8. Steel Co., at, the Pioneer Mine, only a mile from the Vermillion & Mesaba Mine. Over 500,000 tons of ore are taken from this mine every year. The Vermillion & Mesaba Iron Company is capi- talized at $1,000,000 under the laws of Minnesota. ‘When the present issue of 100,000 shares is sold there will be 700,000 shares outstanding and 300,000 shares still in the treasury. At as low a net profit as only $2 a ton this mine would only need to produce 35,000 tons of ore per annum to pay 10 per cent on the out- standing stock. As this amount is only one-fifteenth of the amount which other mines in this district are producing, it is casy to see why this stock will not long be obtainable at par. We have known the President of the company for several “years. We are confident the statements made can be relied upon. The fact that $200,000 has been: put into this work to reach the present showing, before the present offering of stock, putsthe proposition on a business basis which we believe war- rants us in recommending this stock to those who wish to have a profitable.interest in the iron ore wealth of the State of Minnesota. 30,000 shares of this stock are now offered at $1.00 per. share.
