jhkttHioinlc*! Itrrediug of Ifogw,
;ciem?on College, May 18 . '^Thla
reason of t !*?? year is chosen by ma
ny farmers an the moat deirable to
have their bow# farrow, in orifter
bat the i>iRH may have a good start
before the weather becomes very hot
<? and in order that they may be wean*
,<d in time to have the sown bred to
/arrow in the fall ofthe year. Dur
ing pregnancy and for hooio time
after fafrowing, a how should receiv
oioh: careful attention. Not only
for the benefit of the farmers whose
aowp are farrowing now but for the
future benefit of thoBe whose sows
fjftvi* already farrowed for the
tpring I'rof. It. V. Shields, head of
the animal husbandry division of
CleniHpn College, advises certain pre
<autions with brood sows.
Oik* point sometimes overlooked
hi oaring for sows is that they re
quire plenty* of exercise throughout
their prognuncy. The best way to
provide this exercise is by suable
grazing pastures. For this nothing
excels Bermuda grass with white,
bur, crimson and Japan clpvers.
Such grazing, supplemented with
j vuriety of forage crops, with skim
med milk, bran, wheat middlings an
'orn, will make exoellent feed and
will give ideal conditions for brood
hows and for producing pork at the
lowest cost. Experiments have also
.-howi) that' brood spws fed to a
large degree on corn and other can
bonaceous rations give birth to del
icate, small litters ad that sows so
fed sometimes become useless as
breeders. On the other hand, food
containing the required amount of
nitrogenous matter, such as clovers,
peas, peanuts, vetch, bran, Bermuda,
etc.. causes sows to produce large,,
vigorous litters and keeps sows in
splendid breeding condition.
The period of gestation for Swine
in about 112 dayB. One should al
ways take note of the date of breed
ing a sow and about a week or 10
days before the timd^to farrow the
sow should be put lh a clean pen
not less than 6x8 feet. Put itith*>
pen a protecting fender around the
sides about 8 inches from the floor
and running out from tKe qides 8
or 10 inches. This will prevent the,
sow from crushing the little pigs
by lying on them. From the time j
the sow is placed in this pen until
i*he farrows she should be given lax-,
atlve food and her bowels kept open.
The first day after farrowing, the
sow should be given nothing but
water and her food should be light
for a few days, until she recovers
her normal condition. When she has
done so, however, she will requtre
large quantities of nutritious food
to stimulate a large flow of milk-'
It is advisable .to give her at this
time just as much food as she will
"clean up." At^rfHh pigs weigh
from two to two 'and a half pounds
and for a month- depend for their
nourishment solely upon their moth
er. As the only Way of feeding
pigs during the first month of their
existence is thru the sow, it pays
to feed the sow liberally. A large
litter with a poorly fed sow is like
ly to become stunted and the pigs
will be unprofitable to raise.
As soon as the pigs are 3 weeks
old, the sow should be once more
turned upon good pasture and fed
grain or slops In addition. At the
end of two months the pigs should
he weaned. A few days after the
weaning . the sow is ready to be
bred again.

! Columbia ,8. C., May 8- ? The Or- 1
atorical and Track Meet of the
State High Schools, which was held
at the University April 23 and 24,
was one that will ever stand out
prominently in the annals of ora*>
tory and athletics for South Caro
lina. Several track records were,
broken and the orations were the'
best ever heard in tho chapel of
the University at any of the High
School meets.
The University student bo\dy at
tended the Oratorical and Track
Meet in goodly numbers, and ?n Fri
day night, April 24, the students of
the University gave a reception in
Flinn Hall to the High School boys
and their teachers.
The basebal^ team is now away
on its annual* northern trip. There
will be no more games at home this
session. ? ? ~
The students are very sorry to
learn that W. U. Guerrant, better
known as "01," will not return to
the University next year, as he Is
going to begin active service as a
minister. "Gi" has not only made
one of thte best Y. M. C. A. secre
taries* the University has ever had,
but In addition thereto he has coach
ed the baseball team into one of
the best fighting - machines ever
seen on Davis Field.
The end of the present session
is fast approaching. There will be
in all over seventy-five to receive
diplomas from the University this
session. The seniors are getting
ready 'even at. this early date for
commencement, which begins June
7th.
More complete announcements in
regard to the Summer School for
High' School Teachers will be made
at an early date. A varied and val
uable conrse of study will bo offer
ed, one from which it is hoped the
High "Schools o? the State will re
ceive an added impetus.

who Is Joint maitaRer of the Grand

Camden Saturday afternoon ho on
after his arrival here by auto from
Columbia by chief of police A. 0 . j

Jail. Hherlff McCain came over for
the prisoner Hunday morning. When;
arrested he had on h Ih person $153

The Columbia Itocoord of Monday
afternoon Kives the following ac-i
count of tin* cause of the trouble:
"Dashed upon the financial rocks
and left stranded and without en-;
ough money to buy meals, about a
dozen actors and actresses, members
of "The Kolllckers" company, which
played an engagement at the Grand
j theatre last week, are facing pros
pect of walking the railroad ties
to their homes, or tasting the pangs
or starvation.
"While they were demanding pay,
|\V. W. case, who Ih Joint manager
with A. G. Duncan, of the Grand

of violating HeCtion 713 of criminal
[code of Bouth Carolina, relatlv^, to
(swindling.
"Case, who Ih hardly more ' than
a boy, is alleged to have made a
getaway to Camden late Saturday
night, and he whh well on his way
to that place when the angry cho
riiH girls, buzzing like bees, came
to Linton deWolf, manager of The
Itolllckern company, and demanded
to be paid for their week's work.
"Mr. deWolf had only $80 in his
j poHHesuion when the demand for
[wages was made, and this he paid
! to the members of the company, whe
took a train late Saturday and "beat
It" olit of Columbia.
"After these girls were paid, a
bout half dozen other young actress
es and several of the male Thesplam
hung out the "me too" sign and
told Mr. deWolf that $20 apiece or
more would look good to them;
"When *she learned of the finan
cial difficulties into which, the Com
pany had been plunged, Mrs. Robln
ison, owner of the theatr, swore out
a distress warrant before Magistrate
Jon M. Kinloch and gave it to sher
iff McCain to serve.
"In the meantime, Case was get
ting nearer and nearer to Camden,
but how Magistrate Kinloch guess
ed this was the destination of the
young man is a question for the
psychologists to puzzle out. At all
events, the magistrate got Into tel
ephonic communication with the
chief of police at Camden and Case
was arrested soon after leaving the

j fcVeding Cattle For Market.
Washington, D. C., May 11. ? Re
ferring to the advantages of the
South for the live stock Industry.
President Harrison of the Southern
Railway Company today called at
tention to a communication which
he has just received from Mr. R.
S. Curtis, animal huBbandm&n in
charge of beef cattle and sheep in
vestigations at -the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station, giy
ing the results of marketing nine
hundred and twenty head of cattle
Bhlpped from Western North Caro
lina to points In the eastern part
of the State for feeding.
The feedln of these cattle which
was larggely in the nature of an
experiment, was done with the co
operation of the Agricultural Exper
iment Stat ion and the ? live ? stoek
agents of the Southern Railway
have been In close touch with It.
The results are such as clearly
to establish that when they are
properly handled, cattle can be fed
in North Carolina and marketed at
a substantial profit.
The report made by Mr. Curtis
shows that the average margin of
profit on all of these nlhe hundred
and twenty cattle was $1.32 per
cwt. which compares very favorable
with an average market of $1.00
pei cwt. received by cattle * feeders
in the so-called "Corn Belt" -states- -

Middhunen Should lie Taxed.
Editor Chronicle: The ^middlemen
of South Carolina receive ftt least
ten million dollars a ,ye?f 'from the
toilers. - We justly complain of our
tax burdens, and yot you hear very
little complaint about the burderis
laid on by the middlemen, and yet
they receive many times enough, to,
run our^statp government, .with all
I its extravagance. To what, use is
this enormous amount put? The
middleman gets nearly all the auto
mobiles. He drives the highest step
ping steeds. He lives in the finest
houses. _.He worships in the finest
churches. > His children have the
finest schools. He has the finest
furnishings. He and his are Qlqd
in the finest attire. Many servants
are .employed and their families
many times spend much in riotious
living and frivolous gaioty. k Many
of the most valuable of our farniH
are being purchased. The labor 1b
being monopolized. The sturdy
young men are being driven from
the " farms by this monopoly, be
ing unable to purchase farms in
competition with the middlemen.
The middlemen could be taxed to
run our entire government system,
and then have more to eat, better
clothes to wear, better houses, bet
ter churches, better schools and bet
tor everything than the toilers and
put them nearer on the same basin
with them, where they belong, if
in truth they should not receive the
lesser portion, or out of business al
together. J. (X Mosol?y.
