J. DRYDEN [ Faster gains and the saving of 1 feed are the aims of every hog rais er. Among Jhe most essential farm improvements that may bring these results are concrete feeding floors. Such floors help produce more pork and save feed from being lost in the mud. Each hog should have 10 square feet of floor spnee. To build 100 square feet of floor, 4 inches thick, it will take 7*A sacks of Portland ce ment, s /4 cubic yard of sand and 1 cubic yard of gravel or crushed rock. If the area to be paved is poorly drained, it is best to place the con cret slab on a well-tamped fill of about six inches. If the concrete is to be driven over, it should be six inches thick. New concrete should be properly cured by covering with earth or straw as soon as it has hardened enough not to be marred, and then kept moist for at least five days by frequent sprinkling.

A STATEMENT Yes, Perry and Houston County have enjoyed prosperi ty during the war and post war years. This, however, was not our reason for going into business just a year ago. The reason was the fact that the normal growth of this territory coupled with a favorable Electric Rate and the extended use of electricity in the home and farm justified a PERMANENT, EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC CONTRACTING AND APPLIANCE BUSINESS. We had another impor tant motive, too. This is our home and we wanted to stay with our friends. We did not, however, anticipate the demand that would be thrust upon us. We have been able to secure far more Appliances than a new business would normally justi fy at this time, but not enough for all our friends who want ed them. To those we haven’t been able to supply we can only say that we are sorry and hope to serve you soon. To the many that we have served we extend our sincere thanks and trust the Appliances and our Services have proved satisfactory and met your best expectations. To our many friends and customers who helped justify our belief that an EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC SHOP could be maintained in Perry we again offer our sincere thanks and appreciation, with the hope of your continue ! pat ronage through the coming years.

Out of this latter circumstance developed some of the earliest labor troubles on record, during which the rights and duties of each group were definitely, though only temporarily, defined.
