HOG NOTES.
When a hog is at > standstill
there is a loss ol lood and a less
of lime.

Il gives P'gs unthrifty habit
to keep them as store animals
without continual improvement
Generally too much brand led
to suckling sows or jugs is not
good ; it lends to irritate the di
j gestive organs.
It is not sate to condemn a sow
^ for bringing a small number of
^ pigs at, her first farrowing; she
I may do better ever afterwards.
In raising hogs for market it is
* an item to have I hem ohtu'n their
I full standard weight at the least
possible expense.
The brood sow before farrowing
should have sufficient fat stored
up in her body to furnish a eon
siderable part of the milk fo? the
tirst week.
More than one good service is
unnecessary and exhausts the vi
tality of the boar without increasing
the vigor of the pigs.
Select for breeders only those
hogs that give conclusive evidence
of early development.
Never breed a sow under one
year old and do not trust your
main crop of pigs entirely to
young sows.
A race or family of hogs kept
on the flame farm will improve
or degenerate, according to the
ability or shiftles? ness of the
own^r.
An argument in favor of a va
rietv of food is found in the fact
that no two animals will give exj
actlv the same result from the
same ration.
The animals which are selected
for breeding purposes should be
led and cared for in such a manner
as to induce the most thrifty
habits.
Ad argument in favor of the
best treatment ia that disease sel
dom starts in a neighborhood in
the lierds which have careiul
treatment.
The evenness and regularity of
feeding mark the degree of suecess
in fitting a lot of hogs for
market; every day a hog is off
his feed is a dead loss to the
~ owner.
While an old sow is doing well,
do not discard tier nnlnaa tliora Jo
a certainty that she can be re"
placed with something better.
Never try to increase coarseness
in any herd by using a coarse
DOar; better get rid of the bow*
if they are too fine and purchase
lot.
L JHcre are plenty of clean, pure
.icr.lthy foods, and as a rule
only shittlessness of the
r ovyner which allows them to ho
come impure before being fed to
the pig.
The dissolution and decay ol
an animal ted on impure foods is
much more hasty after death
than that of one fed on pure food.

The Cotton Association
"What it has already Accomplished
for the South?Importance
of Making the
Organization PermanentHow
Farmer P e g u e s
j Helped the Good Cause.
In a letter to The Nmvs and
Courier Treasurer Hyatt, of tin*
State Cotton Grower*' As-ocia I
'ion, says :
1 am just in receipt ol a lettei
from one of our most prominent
farmers in South Carolina which
roads as follows:
To the Southern Cotton Association,
Columbia, S. C.?Gen
tlemen: Made yesterday lirsl
sale ol this year's cotton, a lot ol
200 hales, at 1112 cents per
pound. 1 congratulate the Asso
cialion, and herewith enclose a
check lor a part ol the 1-8, $50,
to help on the good cause.
1 am very respectfully,
R. Al. I'egues,
Kelloek, S. O.
I wish, Mr. Editor, just at this
time to say that t.e Southern
Cotton Association lias reached a
point in its progress that it will
require a great deal of knowledge
and tact to steer the old boat on
for time to come. I, as its tress
urer of the South Carolina division,
am in touch with every
section of this State as well as
other Southern States. As I
have said before it will require a
great deal ot money to pertect
this organization. What the
Association has accomplished up
to this time is simply marvellous
and the world stands aghast, and
is f-ay'ng now: "What will be
the outcome of tins organization?"
Every civilized nation
lias its eyes turned upon the
South, though that is not surprising
when we realize the luet that
the lew Southern States produce
at least 75 percent, of the clothing
of the world. If the Aesocia
tion, with a fourteen million bale
erop staring us in the face, when
they claimed that eleven millions
was all that the woild could consume,
could place cotton from 6
cents to 10 12 cents per pound.
then when cotton dropped below
10 cents the Association came to
the front and said: "Farmers,
hold your cotton for 11 cents,
and you will get it.M
Ought it not be sufficient evi
dence to every "doubting Thomas"
that the Association can,
wdl, and has accomplished a
great deal lor the South, and 1
do not hesitate to predict that
this is only the beginning in one
sense of the organization.
I have implicit confidence in
our people and as soon as they
realize what this Association is
doing for them they will not
hesitate to put their tune and
money into the work, and when
they do that, we will then have
the strongest organization ever
organized by man, especially
when they realize the (act that
it we control a staple which produces
Iroin year to year six to
seven hundred millions of dollars,
| then we can begin to realize
what a stupendous undertaking
this is, and no one can predict
the outcome or the untold amount
ot wealth that will accumulate in
our Southern land, and when we
nine succeed in getting the cot.
ton urow. rs r.ivl the cotton manutucturert
to stand hand in hand,
vit>> a niu'ual understanding as
to wlia1 It e price shall he, in or
der to do away with fluctuations
and have a staple price, then
tho>e ot us who live to see it,
and 1 helieve it is in the near
future when such a condition
will exist, you will see every cot
ton patch in the South double in
v -*?n?', you will sea new homes
t.-tke the place of old ones, yen
will see new churches, schoi 1
houses und colleges springing up
every where, and we will be the
rich, si and most prosperous people
on ear'h
Now, Mr. Editor, what 1 want
to see is our farmers, merchants,
hankers and those of every avocation
in the South lake an interest
in this movement, and
small contributions from each
will complete the organization
and will not. affect any other
legitimate line of business, and
by so doing, as I have said, we
will he the most independent

Notice
To The overseers of the Public
Roads of Lancaster County.
I again ask >00 all to warn out
your hands and work each of your
sections of the public r?>ads, as many
days as the law requires or until you
>?er your road in good condition. I
want to find that each section of road
111 the county is worked good between
this and the last day of November.
As you all know you can't do much
good working the clay roads during
lie winter months.
The grand jury held a meeting on
the first Monday in September last
and tequested me to give notice to all
of the overseers to put four days'
work on each section of road by the
llrst Monday in Oct. and for each of
you to make a report to ine that day
And I did so, but many of you failed
to work or to make any report. So I
kindly ask you all to road the report
of the grand jury at the last term of
the court. You will see by that report
that they want to have the roads
worked better than they have ever
been in tlie past, ' r have the law enforced
against anv one who fails to
discharge his duty. Let every one
do his duty, and the law will not be
enforced against anyone, but other
wish, they say it must he (tone,
'i ake due notice therefore and govern
yourself accordingly.
