Hin Ctjerio- Cljtomcle Volume 19 CHERAW, CHESTERFIE^^p)UNTY, S. C.. DECEMBER 10. 1914 ./ Number 6 SOUTHERN FARMERS ADVISED TO RAISE "MORTGAGE LIFTERS" If the farmers of the south <h> not <1 turn from cotton to some other crop a next year R will not l>e for lack of advice from the Department of Agri- a culture. Secretary Houston would not h have the planters of Dixie lyiit cotton, t hut die thinks that they should seize j h the present opportunity to try out I hogs, mules horses and cattle. s Two sjKH-ial statements one on Ji "How Southern Farmers May (Jet a j <i Start in Pig Raising." and another on u "Horse and Mule Raising in the < South," were issued by the depart- ii ment this week. si "There is no single factor in agri- j X cultural production on the average |C farm that is of greater importance i s] than good horse or mule i>ower," said ii the one. <?i "This iKiwer can usually he furnish- a k.. !%<? M eil more ciienpij i?.? mc of needed animals in that particular <11 locality than by purchasing them from remote localities. In home J< production there is also the added ad- hi vantage of possesing animals which p! are thoughhly ^acclimatized." The hulleton tells how to take care S of the brood mares and to feed the a colts. It can l?e had by requesting m it from the department. ! <>1 Concerning l>lgs the department ai says: j < 5 "The Irsliman calls his pig 'the ti gentleman that pays the rent.' In the corn l?elt of the United States 'mortgage lifters' was a nickname given hogs almost as soon as settlements began. In the South no less true than in the Middle West hogs can l>e made a source of meat supply for the home and of income as well. Y.ears of study and demonstration by State and Federal agricultural authorities 'have shown l?eyond all doubt that hogs may l?e raised in the South with results fully as profitable as elsewhere. ' "Four things are necessary if the , Southern farmer wishes to get^t start. "1. A place to raise ami fatten the pigs. "2. A pig worth raising and fat- q tening. "3. Feed on which to raise and fatten them. ? "The necessary funds. "Let us consider these points in reverse order." After telling how to keep the pigs healthy the department statement jj discusses profits. * ^ "Two sowja should raise ^ each. "These pigs should weigh. when ^ sluughtetyd. 2IX) pounds each, mak- ? ilia 2.000 |M>iinds of live weight This ^ exists alniut 3 1-2 cents per pound to <r make in the South under the system 7 described alnive, which is an original cost of $70. Killing will cost not over j( $0. The loss in dressing is alH?ut 30 ^ per cent. of the live weight, or 0<xi S( ]M>unds on 10 pigs. so that 1.40O ]tounds of dressed |H>rk is on hand af- | j ter slautering. If you can get a local .. ill ice plant to ehlll and cure the meat for you. the manager should charge not j, over four cents per imund, which is | Sod. Then the meat loses weight In j, curing, amounting to about one rent Iter |M>niids. or $14. The total cost | of the meat is about as follows: Raising 2.000 |tounds. at .'11-2 , cents jier pound $70 Killing I! ..

The yroin t. and the pasture are raised on the farm. He can can kill the hogs and cure j ^ ^ the meat himself, and therefore the only direct money outlay rop;ired af ^ ter the hoys are Imuyht for seed and implements for cultivation and killiny, ^ and possibly a small amount needed ^ for feneiiiy." n "This article." the department de- ^ clares.
