Free Animals Shipped Annually From South Dakota. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Feeder hogs, perfect as to specifica- tion and designed to satlsfy the most discriminating purchaser, are exported annually from the Belle Fourche reclamation project, South Dakota. Approximately 100 carloads of cholera- free and alfalfa-raised porkers are shipped each season. The output for the last few years has been purchased by Nebraska farmers who fatten and condition the hogs for the central mar- kets. A speclal advantage about such shipments 1s that the animals need not be held in quarantine while vaccl- nated to satisty the requirements’ of interstate shipment, and the purchaser does not have to bear added expenses, such as yardage and feed costs, which he would have to pay if he bought his stock hogs on the central market. The Belle Fourche project was re- cently declared free from cholera by Dakota Farm:rs Specialize in Feeder Hog Production. the state live stock sanitary board. The hog growers of that section have decided 1t is most profitable for them to produce feeder hogs because the high price and limited quantity of corn in their vicinity available for feeding purposes make the fattening of hogs & hazardous undertaking. On the oth- Conserving the Nation’s ‘Natural O take crude oil and separate it, without waste, into a maximum number of useful products is the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) ideal of its duties as a public servant. By utilizing those fractions of the crude which otherwise would be waste, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) becomes a conservator of raw materials, thereby adding to the nation’s wealth. At its refineries more than 2000 products are made, each one serving a definitely useful purpose. made from crude oil, from petroleum ether and surgical dressings, to paving asphalt and petroleumn coke. By manufacturing so complete a line of related products, the Company is able to minimize the cost of each, and can sell to you the particular item you need at a low price because the other 1999 are carrying their true proportion of manu- facturing costs. By reason of its thorough organization and the achievements of its manufactur- ing department, the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) obligations as a public servant by in- creasing its sphere of usefulness to meet the ever increasing requirements of the public. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER er hand, nlfalfa hay 1 grown fn abun- dance, and the pasture afforded 18 keenly relished by the hogs. Hence the project farmers are limiting their operations to feeder-hog production. A co-operative live stock shipping as- sociation has been organized on the Belle Kourche project to market the hogs in unique fashion this fall. The plan is to secure carload orders for these hogs so that they may be shipped out in small train loads for delivery to points east of the Missouri river. The idea is to have about fifteen cars of hogs in each train, these cars being loaded at Newell and Nisland on the project and to be carried to destina- tion, without stopping for feed or wa- ter, within the 36-hour limit. Infor- mation is belng promulgated among the prospective buyers along the route regarding the freight rates on a mini- mum car of feeder hogs so that they cqn estimate accurately the gross cost of such a load of quality feeders de- lvered at thelr destination. The hogs sold during the fall ‘of 1918 ranged from 16 to 21 cents a pound f. o. b. cars, some of the loads being sold above the market quotation and some of them under. The Belle Fourche plan of market- ing feeder hogs should be of interest to other stock raisers and feeders in va- rious sections of the country, illustrat- ing, as it does, a new method of feed- er-animal distribution. Handling through a co-operative shipping asso- olation directly from the producer to the purchaser makes it certain that the buyer will receive the hogs at his station at a minimum cost for handling in transit. Furthermore, the fact that the animals come from a cholera-free cquntry Is positive insurance against losses from that disease, if the hogs are not exposed to infection in transit or subsequent to their delivery at their new homes. Prospects are that in the future many South Dakota farmers in the eastern part of the state who raise considerable corn and make a practice of feeding the grain to hogs will rely to a certain extent on the animals com- ing from the Belle Fourche project. Petroleum’s Discovery. In 1839, on the 28th of August, pe- troleum was discovered at Watson's Flats, Pa., near the nead of the Alle- gheny river. Edwin Drake bored the first oil well, and before the end of the year Drake, under the firm name of Drake & Bowditch, bored through the rock at Titusville to a depth of 70 feet and struck an oil well that yielded 1,000 gallons a day. This discovery started the enormous oil industry in northwestern Pennsylvania.
