Altar Thoughts
by
REV. R. R. HAWKINS
THE FULLEST LIFE
“Woe Unto him that stnveth
with his maker.” Is. 45:9.
The prophet Isaiah often
speaks of God as “Creator of
Maker.” In the 12th. verse of
this chapter we find these
words: “I .have made the earth,
and created man. upon it, I
even my hands have stretched
out the heavens and all their
host have I commanded.”
To strive with one means to
fight against Now one should
not fight against his Maker un
less he is seeking to defeat him
self. This is as true and inexor
able as any of the laws of nature.
God our Father and Creator is
seeking by infinite ways and
means to prevail His love unto
Them. If you spurn His love,
you do injury to the heart of
God but you bring greater harm
to yourself. The difference be
tween a man who seeks to co
operate with God and the man
who fights against God is the
difference between success and
failure, right and wrong, good
and evil.
Pre yer: Our Father, we pray
that w® shall understand more
fully every day that to sub
mit our wills unto Thee brings
the fullest life to ourselves
and to others. Amen.

Hybrid Pig Litter
Sets New Record
Synthetic Sow's Milk
Credited With Goin
I
A litter of 18 hybrid pig* far
rowed last January set a new
world record for six months
weight—4.992 pounds—at an offi
cial weighing held on the farm of
Lawrence Meyer, near. Spring
Grove, Minnesota.
The litter was raised on a syn
thetic sow’s milk.
The litter also set another world
record — 840 pounds weaning
weight. At that age, the average
weight was 46 86 pounds, with the
This is the litter of 18 hybrid
pigs that recently set a new
world record for six months
weight—a total of 4 992 pounds.
The litter was raised by Law
rens Meyer, Spring Grove,
Minnesota,
heaviest weighing 58 pounds. The
average weight at six months was
277.33 pounds, with the heaviest
pig topping the scales at 342
pounds, and the lightest weighing
226 pounds.
The official weight of 4.902
pounds broke the old record of
4.419 pounds, set in 1951 by an
other out-sized litter.
Hybrid hogs have been bred es
pecially for the ability to make fast
gains, to get the most out of feeds,
and to farrow large litters—from
12 to 14 pigs at each farrowing.
One trouble with big litters, a
breeder points out, has been that
even if sows farrowed whopping
big litters, they couldn’t feed them.
Many believe that synthetic sow’A
milk has now solved that problem.
The champion Utter was pur
chased for exhibition pruposes and
was shown to thousands of ad
miring hog-raisers around the
state.

Plum Island, located in Long
Island Sound. New York, has been
selected by the US. Department
of Agriculture as the site for con
struction of a laboratory to study
hoof-and-mouth and other animal
diseases.
Construction of the laboratory
will be on land made available by

docks, water and other utilities,
including water transportation.
The island comprises about 800
acres and lies about one and a
half miles from the northern tip of
Long Island and 10 miles from the
Connecticut coast. It is about three
miles long and one mile wide at
its widest point.
USDA reports it meets Uw re
quirements set by congress that
the laboratory be located on a
coastal island surrounded by deep
navigable water and entirely tinder
control of the U.S. government.
There has been substantial in
terest in establishment of a U S.
laboratory for research on hoof
and-mouth disease for some time,
but little progress was made un
til the widespread outbreak of the
disease in Mexico in 1946 and the
subsequent outbreak early this
year in Canada near the U.S.
border.
