(The Progressive Farmer.) When I decided to specialize ii pure-bred hogs I first observed th< general tendency of the community and selected the breed that seemei most popular. I concluded that would have less educating in favo of that breed among my prospectivi customers,?if I could please them. Not having a world of previous ex perience, I purchased three pure bred sows due to farrow their se cond litters in some 60 days. Thes< sows were sisters?all from a splen did litter of fine pigs. They cos me, including express charges, $278 Each had been bred to a differen boar, and one male had a couple o state fair ribbons to talk aboul which alwavs helps some. I had a 14-acre scrub oak woods and into thia I turned the trio, altei nating with pasture of rye, and gav two small feeds of shorts with [ trace of tankage daily. They roair ! ed this woods and grazed the rye ur til two weeks of their time for fai rowing. Then each was placed i I nn individual farrowiner t>en. e: i uuuy pig witii a uicau tiuui aatuxotc ! in crude petrolatum. The sows ha been petted until the family dog ha actually become jealous, and the were as gentle as the proverbis kitten. ^ My three sows brought me litter of ten, eight and seven, but I loa two from the smallest litter and thu weaned 23 pigii. The' adyertisin methods adopted to sell the bunc were by personal contact only, would endeavor to ge^ a farmer ou to see ray pigs and make a selectior In that way I had them all spoke: for to be delivered when 10 week old. My herd was built up by pur chasing three additional brood sow at a time, having^ of course, procur ed an excellent boar in the mean time. This is an easy^and quite inexpen sive way of "breaking into the bUsi ness." It might seem a little slow ii these ti4nes of fast ideas, but then is lots to learn and there are crop to grow and anyway, I have neve: lost anything by 'making haste slow ly." George L. Coburn, Columbia County, Fla. Pure-E>red? Prove Profitable. (The Progressive Farmer.) i naa oeen raising nogs ior sever al years, just any kind. Anything, s( it was a hog, I thought was alright and I made money raising scrut stock; but I began to think if I coulc make money raising scrubs I coulc surely make more on pure-breds. T( be sure it would cost more to buj pure-breds, but they would pay foi themselves just as easily as the oth ers, as the pigs would sell for sc much more. So two years ago I purchased i pure-bred Berkshire sow that hac been bred to a pure-bred boar, giv ing $40 for her. This seemed a tre mendous price (I had been giving from $10 to $15 for a scrub sov* and selling the pigs for $2 to $2.50) Kii4* c?V? a iiro p in QT1T uut one rroo m gvv/u \.vnuti?iv<i m*iv looked fine, and I began to thini maybe I hadn't made such a mistake after all. In six weeks she farrow ed nine as pretty pigs as I ever saw At four weeks old they weighec from 28 to 30 pounds a piece anc readily sold for $5 a piece. I coulc have sold that many more at tha price. This put me "hog crazy," so ] sold out all the scrub stock I hac and purchased another pure-brec sow that farrowed six pigs in JC \ ?1???? * days after I bought her. I kept ' these until they were three months t old and sold four of them for $10 f apiece, keeping two for my-own meat '? another year. -The first sow brought me eight more pigs in the same year and I sold these at three months old for $10 a piece, thus realizing $165 e in one year from two sows where/ I a had only been making from $75 to i- $80, and it (lidn't take any more i- feed: *- The pigs I kept for my own meat n weighed 450 and 500 pounds at 11 prossly built and creosoted and raile along the interior to protect the pij from being crushed. Each pen w? piped for water from the tank an set with an iron trotgh.

Let me add heri^that I never ;sa' any animals with cleaner habii when given a chance.

I now have a nice herd d of pure-bred registered Berkshires, fs and have a fine boar to head the is herd. d As to feed, I sow oats, vetch, cloid ver and rye for winter pasture, and i, I raise wheat and feed them bran il and shorts and skimmed milk, with p some corn at night. I Have good | warm houses, and never let my hogs w lie out in cold or rainy|weather. I 3 have my pasture cut into lots so I J- can change them from one to ani other as they eat them down. I find e hog raising profitable both for my home supply of meat and also for i, market. R. H. e Pauline, S. C. J ^ How to Protect Chickens from d Hawks. ^ In the current issue of Farm and ^ Fireside, the national farm paper y published at Springfield, Ohio, B. F. W. Thorpe writes an interesting article entitled, "Safety First With 8 This Year's Chicks." He gives many suggestions of great value to s the small poultryman. On the sub? ject of protectihg chickens from air h marauders he..says in part: I "In some sections the hawk prob* lem is one of the hardest. A poultry l* yard with the top covered with wire n netting is a sure protection. I have S used such a vard. and it kent out - cats as well as hawks. But it was 3 expensive to make and is not practical for large operations. Shotguns and scarecrows are practical. One of the best scarecrows is a dead " hawk hung on a pole near the chick en run. 1 "If you can't kill a hawk, make e an artificial one out of cloth. Bright s tin cans hung where they will flash r in the sun and also strike each other ? when the wind blows are effective. A life-like dummy holding a g^in is good too, especially if you shoot at the hawks occasionally yourself. Steel traps set on high piles so the chickens will not get caught are also good." j WHAT WE EAT. , Our own people of the South > were made to endure many hard1 ships during the close of the War of 1 Secession, and we have heard "good > old-time darkeys" tell of the subterr fuges to which they had to resort in r order to keep alive. The ordinary pepper grass was > prepared as a table dish. The root of the tender young stalks of the poke i weed was considered more greatly [ a delicacy than the asparagus tips - are today, and the broad leaves of - the poke weed were cooked in the r same manner as cabbage and other r greens. Dandelion salad was also a great dish, and wild onions were I strong on the market. The caladium, : or elephant's ear, was another dish ; among the plantation negroes. It . was known by them as the "tanyah" . perhaps an African word. Today the I United States government heralds it [ as a discovery and names this new I vegetable daseen. t There were many lessons learned in those davs of nrivation, 50 years [ ago, which should have been followed I until this day and we would have had I a more prosperous country.?ColumI bia Record. *+m ... - ) 1 . 1 I ' jreat Soap-Maker ^ Red Devil Lye ^ -?--W Cold Process or Boiling Process. v ^ * ir of the Big 5c.

What better proof of merit can be had than such endorsement? Mrs. T. Nelson, Waluut St., Abbeville, 6. C., says : *. "1 suffered for years from backache. When I stooped over to pick up a bucket of water, sharp pains across my loins bothered me and I had to catch hold of something. The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage at times. while again too scanty. My feet became so badly swollen that I couldn't put on my shoes and I ' noticed puffy sacs under my eyes. I was in pretty bad shape when I began jising Doan's Kidney Pills. Two boxes made me feel better i , and I continued until I was better in every way.
