From the Cumberland Mountains to Columbia Is a long ways, but distance -lid not matter to tfh? proud parent of *ne of the soldier boys out at Camp Jackson. About the camp, viewing ihe long lines of marching troops he went as much as any American citi sen would. But there was more than interest In the tired eyes as he was shown about the oamp by the young man in khald. The heart of the "Dad'' was beating faster with emotion as h* watched them go by?his b?y among them. To "Dad'* It was not the spectacle ?f the vast arnay of men nor the ltue,ertees9 of the cantonment fb<>t wised'the eyes to enarlde and the 3I0ST PKOFiT IBI.

Figures an'j facts back up his opinion. Fifty fall pigs of September, 1914 farrnw wpta bv thp Iowa f?xneri merit station, according to his newlj pvpifTn of selffeeding, from January 6 to April 15 191'5, in five groups. All individual 'po.'? v.'^e nl'owe* sersratelv in different compartments of a self-feeder Group i was fed the simplest ration whfci-h ronsisfftd of shells caru and moat m-^al tankage plus limestone plus charcoal plus rock salt. Group 2 was fed the same as Group l with the exceiytion that whole oats were added, Group 3 was fed the same as Group 1 with the addition of whole oats and oil meal. Group 4 was fed the same as Groun 1 with the addition of whole oats, oil meal and wheat middling Group 5 was fed the same as Group 1 with the addition of whole oats, oil meal, wheat middlings and wheal bran. The price of feeds at the time o: the experme&t were as follows: Sb?lle5 corn. 70 cents per bushel; oats, 50 cents; meat meal tankage $2.50; oil meal, $1.50; middlings $1.45; bran, $1^20: charcoal. $3; lime stono, 60 cents, and rock salt, $1 pe: hundredweight.' / The pigs reached a handy marke weight by April, the month of usuall; good markets. There was but littl difference in the general effectivenes \ of the rations, but the simplest ap i peared the best. The addition of oat step to grow more sprightlier. It wa a combination of these things, adde1 i to the fact that his boy was amonj them. He marveled at the great amoun of good will that pevailed among th< boys; his heart beat faster as hi noted the many little acts of kmdnes; shown by each of the soldier lads to wards those with whom they mingled "T had no idea that the spirit ex isting anion? y-rm hoys was -such as i is," he was heard to remark}. ''I wil tell them hack' home that not only an you well,' but that you are amons tho^e who .seem as true as the lad; back in the mountains." T^e time .had co^e for nartin?, for it is a long way bark to tli--> Cumberlands and "Dad" had promised to be back within four days. The whistles sounded the signal of duty for the young man anrl that of leaving for the elder one. Rather feelingly were the last words sroken by each of the two. but there was no reluctance in the manner of "Dad" as he turned avray. A fervent "God bless yon," or a similar blessing in the words of an ordinary man?and "Dad" was off on hia way to the Cumberlands.

We notice that practically five to seven - ponEria of meat meai tankage was | eaten with every 1(H) pounds of corn. These fl^uree do not include the . period of cheaper gains, taking the ) .pigs from weaning time at about 30 - nounds to the 85 pound average, t where this experiment be^an. How. ever, this is a good showing for the , fall pig. Mr. Evvard gives five practices I which must be followed in growing 1 tho September pig: ) First, Veep them dry and warm. ? Unless ventilation is provided and thr? " pens kept dry, pood results can not r be expected. The "constant shiverer" * is a money loser. Scare away the . shivers with suitable shelter. Well I hum substantial, six by eieh.t hog houses of the movable gable roof . Iowa type, having the side walls j about two aind one-half to three feet i high and the entrance opening on the > south, have proved most excellent I under Iowa conditions. Such houses! * will accommodate nicely about six to . ten fall pigs -throughout the winter. ? These houses are easily cleaned and : [ easily moved. ! ; Second, keep them sanitary. Strike :; the iron while it is hot and prevent worm infection and lice infestation from the very days of traveling until j I the winter quarters are entered. Then 1 t there is little or no danger of further trouble. This means to avoid all C those grounds and pastures and conr ditions ?that harbor these profit de; , stroyers, particularly up until cold i, weather arrives and winter is here to stay. In case the pigs become infect ed with lice or other external parar sites, crude oil is standard in treat! ment as it kills both lice and nits and J * ? -11?" -* ? ? ft/v/inn/1 tvao tmon f ? CI1US GilLUJLlftLtJb DDV/UJ?U v> Y However, this second treatment may e be applied with good orace about two s weeks after the first. The method of _ arwlvine: the oil is simply to herd the g pigs up in close quarters alnd liberally snWiikle thps mwith it, using an ordi3 nary sprinkling can. Or1, use a broom and rub the oil on the backs, sides, * bellies and legs of the pigs. Some * oil should also be applied to the inner e ??im nf +V10 oar this is a safe retreat e for lice. 5 j For worms Evvard recommends from six to eight ounces each of san* 'v t . t " imt'-?" j A CA ? mm im rm !

This mixt'.'re con-1 stitutes a dose for a 100 pound pi?. | For smaller or larger pigs t:se pro- i portionato amounts, except for pigs over 200 pounds. Never give more than 12 grains of each. Feel should be withheld 12 hours before treatment The dose should - repeated in eight j or ten days if tLc v>-6* were veryj wormy at first. Rightly managed fall! pigs are much less subject to worms than the spring ones. When the cold j weather sets in the worm eggs are: not likely to he picked up a:id thej worm free, lice free fall pig as sur-! prising door. Thirds keep them well fed. The "belly" is the commanding part of the body and its commands must be.' obeyed. The place to start is at the' beginning. Give the pig a good start before he is farrowed and ke<sp him' I going after he comes. Feed the bows, well, being liberal with the skimmilk,; meat meal, tankage, middling, peas,1 and corn on good pasture such as tender smd succulent fall blue grass, j Fix a creep for the pigs so that be- j fore t?ey know how to eat apart from i their ds.m there is to be found an abundar.ee of corn, meat meal tank-j age and wheat middlings in separate sell-feeder awaiting their call. Soak a little shelled corn to get them started. Push them with a little butter?n' ? ? w>{llr T + nrill u'nrV urfln Uliin. VI SiVlUiUUiU. X L TM'i '1 vi .. -I I ders. The fell pig that makes a good i start irt the fall is the fall pig that makes the difference between profit j and los3 in the spring. '?Push'' is the j motto for him who raises fall pigs for : profit. Push them hard?give them I every opportunity to develop into 225 to 260 pound hogs by April when the market is usually good. Fourth k^ep them well watered. | Have water before them all the time j if such is uossible. If not, water them i at least three times each day. Warm j water is not essential, but s little . warm water once a day, or, better, twice, is all ri^rht. Fifth, feei them inside, in a nice, warm, dry place wher they "can eat in comfort. You would not think of ; speading a .bounteous table under the pines in the winter. Likewise, I the hog does not want to wade out in a snowdrift to take his meals.
