" Hog Raising in the South. (Greenville News.) Hog raising is one of t lip most profitable lines of animal husbandry in the South if wisely managed, and one of the most unprofitable if con ducted In the ordinary way. that ls if the hons are raised witho.it care and fed without knowledge or judg ment. Two methods of hog raising aro common In the Southern States, bot li equally object louable: When managed by the first meth od the hogs are allowed tree range in woods and swamps, fenced or un fenced; subsist on grass. root? a oms and grubs; bred indiscrimi nately, and the survivors are slaughtered at two or three years of age, weighing net from 50 to lL'"> pounds. Such animals furnish in ferior hams and shoulders, provide scarcely any lard, and do not make a compensating return for the usc of the land. The owners are liable to heavy loss from diseases, storms, and other causes, and tho product does not meet the requirements of the general market. The second plan is to keep the hogs in small lots and feed corn main ly. This has been proven unprofit able with corn at tho average price In th?' South. Dons thus I'od show a fevered condition, are restless, and are generally lound rooting In the frosh earth. The cost of raising hogs when fed on com alone is generally estimated al li cent:; a pound, live weight, when corn ls won h ?0 cents n bushel, and ? cents a pound when com is worth Ti? cents a bushel; thal ls, ?1 bushel of corn will usually make IO pounds of gain, live weight, when carefully fed to thrifty hogs. This agrees with the results al experi ment stations. Rill corn is not us ually fed with care, and when raised on corn, alone lams are seldom very thrifty; consequently tho cos! will average much greater than ibis. In vestigations show thal 7 pounds of gain io the bushel of corn is near er the rosall when corn M fed on the cob without oilier food. This would place the cost of live gain al IO cents a pound with 70-cont corn. The best way to make hog raising profitable In the South ls to graze thc hogs upon pastures proparod 1 for them, supplementing tho green food hy Hie addition of a small grain ration. Upon Ihls plan hogs can he raised ai aa average of I 'i ? to cents a pound, depending main s ly tn ntl the management of thc ? hoirs and pigs and upon an economic plan of fattening. Farmers, mechanics, railroaders laborers rely on Dr. Thomas' Eclec tic Oil, Takes the sting out of cuts burns or bruises at once. Pain cam not .day whoro it ls used. ' TIIIO EMEI *ON MURDER CASE. Attorney M, C. Long In Anderson Af? ter Trip to Atlanta. (Anderson Mall, ll th.) Among the visitors to the city to day wps M. C. Long, of Walhalla. He ls on a return trip from Atlanta, where he had boon with a detective In connection with the Emerson mur der case. .Mr. Long, it will he recalled, ls the attorney representing Solicitor V. A.
