MORE MEAT-MAKERS c fEWER RAZOR-BACKS' j'Piney-Woods Rooter" is Giv ing Way to Better Bred J Members of Hog Tribe I The ungainly, unprofitaf6 hog known as the razor-bc 'is fast giv ' way in South C -K to a bet- C type--a safetv- da insures nable pro reasonable 2 The WR bre hog far exceedsi r- ac? i and pig on. and modern, farnun a. - . *egl~kiie o factors ] be carefully considered when hogs are bein.g . selected. -Good farming has no v'Iate for the razor-back, be-i cause good farming .. is first of allM economical. . Market hogs arei st'gehouses in which grain, forage, and oter feeds are stored up in the form of meat. The small granary is of comparative ly little value; the profits are -in' those having at least reasonable ca pacity. .The razor-back is a "store house" with very little capacity and can not. make rapid gains. On the other hand, a -pig of any of the pop ular breeds is .capable of attaining a weight of from 250 to 350 pounds at nine to twelve months old; indeed, such weights are not unusual in the 'Corn: Belt. The well -bred hog far outclasses the razor-back in regularity of breed ing and ability to produce large lit ters of pigs. This is one of the most important points to be considered in hog-raising. . Finally, look at this picture of a typical razor-back and then call to mind the appearance of any~ well-bred hrg. The differences are so striking that a comparison seems absurd.

On these sheets agents report the statistical res of practically every line of work t are engaged in. In this way it is sible to obtain each year an accur summary of the results accomplis by the whole organization.

Earlier intI mit monthly sh'olei~ nart was rejected by a vote o~ 1 to 23. Several other amend nents were offered, among these eing two to allow the alterna :ive of beer shipments. ,One enator Hughes of Uniorn wo4 rovde for .60 bottles or one-h~. arrei of beer monthly. Senr inkler of Charleston off erecFfi abstitute an amendment to prc ide for 30 bottles of beer. .Vote 'as taken on the alternative ~mendments during the morning esson. In the evening' the bill was ~urther modified by the adoption f the Hughes amendment, which rovided for monthly shipments f 60 pint bottles of beer in lieu f the two quarts of whiskey. 'he amendment was adopted by vote of 22 to 19. T he Hughes mendment was further modified o preclude shiDments of beer vlth a content of alcohol greater :han 5 per cent. Provision was lso made to have beer shipped n open cases, that rigid inspec :ionl might be enforced. The bill .n its etirety was passed by a ote of 28 to 12. The bill by Messrs. Moore and obinson to establish the John e La Howe industrial home and chool for destitute children, car ying a State appropriation of. 10.000, was given a second read ng in the house yesterday morn ng, with practically no opposi io. The' management of the institution, which will be located proderty in Abbeville county jesignated in the will of the late John De La H-owe. is placed in the hands of a ooard of trustees o be selected by the general as ~embly.' The school will be op sratrd for white boys aud girls between the ages of six and 16, ho are destitute and who have neither parent nor guardian to care for them or whose parents or guardians are unable to care for them. An inmate of the homd shall be kept there until 21 years of age, unless sooner dismissed by the trustess or a judge. The bill requires that nach boy or gir'l shall wo'rk at least four hours a day and shall be instructed in such branches of useful knowledge aiid arts as may be suited to his or her years. A bill relating to the high schools of the State and provid ing for State aid was passed in the house last night by the over vhelming ma.iority of 89 to 9. The bill resulates the disbuirse~ menet of the $.35,000 approprias tion for the advancement of high schools and does away with~ the charging of tuition in certain in stances. The bill has been in dorsed by practically all those onnected with the public school JI1i S FOR 1915 the great increase in the wealth of Lhe state through the work uf farmers vho are indirectly inAuenc:ied by the demonstration agents. IL statistics for this were obtainable, it is cer tain that they would be vastly greater than those for the demonstrators alone. Below are given some of the more striking statistics from the annual demonstration reports for this state. In the case of cotton, it should be not ed that the yield of demonstrators was 479 pounds per acre, as against he state's 1914 average of 256 pounds. nd probably-a much lower average r 191i. In the case of corn, the monstration yield was 29.4 bushels. -against the n.tate's 1914 average of 1S.5 bushels. The items quoted below are only one-fourth of those reported on, but they are among the most interesting. )harve ........... -. 19,530 bs ....... ...... -. 574,779 ........................ 4,61 ..a.................. .004,066 1) harvested.........-------------16,038 .... ... .... ... .... ... 67,3972 .... ... .... ... .... ... 15,799 .bs started m t........... 58 ti.e. .......... -.55,486 ltiatin............ - - 1,016 lera ..- .................. - 7,323 ra . .... .... .... .... .. $52,158 .... .... ... .... .... .. 527 traised meat---------------90% 26,924 I ely.............. 67,844 altivating------------------- 87% ,%ffg seed................. - 4% WIAT [1E1110 GIVE 10 BREEDIING STOCK.
