ECONOMIC ROG PRODUCTION Plant Grazing Crops and Feed Heavily at All Times. Clemson College.-"The market hog that sees his first birthday usually loses money for the owner." This statement is made by D. W. Williams, livestock specialist of the Extension Service, in discussing profitable hog production in South Carolina. This means that the hog must go to the slaughter at eight to ten inotnhs o? ? age, weighing two hundred pounds. This is not an unusual weight for hogs at eight months. Recently one feeder averaged over two hundred on twelve head at five months. To make profits from hogs it is necessary to feed heavy at all times. A starving process is a losing one in growing hogs. The hog raiser's problem, therefore, is "How can I make the most hog, in the least time at the lowest cost?" Plenty of feed provided ahead of time is the solution. Pigs farrowed in Jan uary and February should be ready for the October and November mar kets. Start now and provide the feeds that will be needed this fall. We can not compete with the corn bolt farmer raising hogs in a dry lot on corn and purchased supplementary feeds such as shorts and tankage. While these are always necessary to make the best gains, we must use forage crops just as much as possible. With the wide use of forage crops cheaper pork can be produced in South Carolina than in the corn belt. Be sure to plant some supplement ary feed crop with your corn. Cow peas, soy beans and velvet beans all furnish good grazing for hogs. In the fall let the hogs do the harvest ing and you will find but very little wasted. Let the hogs you are going to market gather most of the feed; then when it gets so scarce that they must cover a great deal of ground in getting enough to eat. remove thom and let sows and smaller pigs finish cleaning up the field. A small patch of sweet potatoes will furnish much succulent feed, which with a grain ration will make very satisfactory gains. Every farmer, whether or not he raise hogs, should have some alfalfa. It pays handsomely where it is grown. As a forage crop for hogs it i is unexcelled. It is questionable whether it is ad visable to plant very many peanuts for hogs this fall, says Mr. Williams. While hogs malie very cheap and rapid gains on this crop, the carcasses are greatly discriminated against on the market Soft drippy pork is not desirable. South Carolina is now producing hogs that sell to better ad vantage than those from other South ern States, because these hogs kill hard as a rule. It is to our advantage to continue marketing a superior prod uct which sells well toward the top of the market rather than to get a rep utation for soft hogs and take a cut in price which is often three or four cents per pound. Hogs will be marketed this fall in carload lots from practically every county. Aim to provide a few surplus hogs for these shipments to help es tablish a hog market in this state. Be sure to kill enough to assure your home supply of meat; then market the surplus. In the future of diversi fied farming in South Carolina the hog is one of the most promising fac tors. GREEDY HENS AR? GOOD MOTHERS. Clemson College.-It is not gener ally known that the greedy mother who eats almost all the food thrown to the baby chicks is doing her best to-prevent the loss of her brood. Just before a chick is hatched it absorbs the greater part of the yolk of the egg. This yolk will not be digested for a week or ten days, and if the chick is overfed its system becomes clogged, the yolk decays, and the chick dies. Many persons raising chickens in brooders make the fatal mistake of feeding the biddies too much. The brooder is not a greedy hen and it cannot eat the food and thereby pre vent the chicks obtaining more than they should have to eat. Place the brooder on sharp sand, have the temperature one hundred degrees when the chicks are removed from the incubator, and do not feed the chicks the first day. Give them buttermilk or sour milk; otherwise fresh water. A tomato can with a hole punched near the open end should be filled with liquid and in verted over a saucer to prevent the chicks from becoming wet. ? On the second and third days scat ter a little rolled oats on the sand floor four or Ave times daily. On the fourth day begin alternating rolled oats with some coarse hominy or com mercial chick fei?d. The latter is preferable because it contains also millet seed and cracked wheat. Scat ter these on the fine litter ta make the chicks exercise. On the fifth day provide a dry mash of equal parts hominy, wheat shorts, rolled oats, for ground oats with the hulls removed), wheat bran, sifted beef scraps, and bright yellow cotton seed meal. Keep this dry mash bp fore the chicks constantly. Tf these suggestionp. are followed, the baby chicks are likely to pass through the critical period without any mishap. The South's greatest need for food ir for soil feed. TROOPS TO GET OUT OF GER MANY. Coblenz, May 16.-If the Germans sign the peace terms all the Ameri can troops, except the third corps and j three divisions and a few headquar- j ters units, will be out of the occupied district of Germany by June 1, or soon after that date, according to re ports in circulation in Coblenz. It is understood that the first, sec ond and third regular divisions will be those to remain for the duties in connection with turning over the area to French control. If the Germans ac cept the peace conditions, it is under stood, preparation will begin imme diately for the remaining three divi sions to withdraw to France prepara tory to embarking for home.. The length of time required to turn affairs over to the French has not been determined, but it is esti mated that it may take perhaps a month or lonc-er. If the Germans do not accept, the plans for the with drawal of the Americans, of course, will be. changed materially. General Pershing, when asked by the correspondent on Monday what would be the part of the American army in the event the Germans do not sign the treaty, said it may be de pended upon that America will do her part, whatever that may be.
