Ignorant help will not muho a success with hogs. Stay with the hog business, If tho market goe8 down it is a poor time aell. Remember that a better market will return. Study the markets carefully with the idea of soling on the high market. > Market hogs when they are wellfinished and weigh about 200 pounds. Keep the hog houses and sheds free from dust. See to it that the herd is kept free from lice. Make sure that hogs have shade? either natural or artificial during the hot weather. Keep the hog lots sanitary. Stagnant pools are objectionable. Take care that tuberculosis is not introduced through dairy by-products. Keep fresh water before hogs at nil I times. Take care that sows don't have too much bedding at farrowing time, which is often the case. Croup hogs according to their ages. Larger hogs may injure the smaller ones or keep them from getting enough food and thus cause them to be stunted. Remember that the older and fatter the hog the more expensive the gain. Learn to judge hogs. Follow the show ring. It is the best way to learn judging. Do not pay extravagant prices for foundation stock. Arrange ample exercise for breeding stock. Improve the blood lines by using purebred boars of good individuality. Cull out all individuals of/inferior conformation. Remember that "like produces like." Stick to one breed. Don't mix breeds. Uniformity is an important point in producing hogs for market. Keep the breed you like best. There is no best breed of hogs. Do not mate hogs which are closely related. In the breeding operation strive to correct weaknesses and 'defects by using a sire that is strong where the dam is weak and vice versa. Flush sows by giving them extra feed before breeding. A gilt should be not less than one year old when she farrows her first litter. Remember that poorly nourished sows will produce weak pigs. Give sows special attention at farrowing time.? See to it that the bow gains as much during the gestation period as she will during the suckling period. For 24 hours -after farrowing allow the sows nd feed, but provide all the water they will drink. Sows suckling pigs must be fed abundantly. The best way to feed the pigs is through, the sow. A few days before sows are takenfrom their pigs reduce the ration considerably. Have each sow produce two litters a year. Cull out all sows which do not produce an average of not less than six pigs per litter. Teach pigs to eat grain in n creep before they are weaned. By so doing they will not become stunted. Do not wean pigs until they are eight weeks of age. Purebred pigs may be allowed sometimes to nurse until they are ten weeks old.* Castrate pigs when they are from six to eight weeks of age. Have pigs double treated for cholera before they reach a weight of 50 pounds. If pigs are not thrifty and are Infested with worms, have them treated just after weaning. Remember that the younger the pigs the narrower the ration should be. Use home grown feeds as much as possible. It is sometimes necesed&y to buy a protein supplement. Make a liberal use of forage crops. It is the one big opportunity to produce pork more economically than it can be produced in the West. Supplement pastures with concentrates. . Feed some animal protein such as skimmilk, tankage or fish meal. Hogs do better on it. > Don't buy patent stock feeds. They don't pay._^'._ . Give hogs access to a Mineral mixtUW, S - v Feed rations which are reasonably well-balanced. Consider that skimmilk is worth half as much a hundred pounds as corn is m bushed. Consider before you grind com PliP that it usually does not pay. Remember that there is little difference whether feeds are wet o^dry. i Four White Men | Charged With J Charles, John and Frank Walters urn!

Writes About Reforestation The October iisue of "American Forest and Forest Life" carries a story by Josie Piatt Parler of Wedgefield, which gives an interesting account ox a reforestation scheme of Mrs. Walter <L White of Stateburg and Cleveland, Ohio. The author was a student at the University of South Carolina graduate school last year and is an alumna of Winthrop College. Mrs. White, the story relates, is reforesting 5,000 acres of her 12,000 acre plantation, Hillcrest' by planting 5,000,000 seedlings. In order to carry out the plan of reforesting the area, a nursery was established. It is situated on "an ideally drained hillside, surrounded by trees and accessible to an adequate water supply." At the end of the first year 100,000 longleaf pines 250,000 slash and 220,000 shortleaf pine seedlings, grown at the nursery, were set out on the plantation. During the past spring the size of the nursery was trebled to make possible the transplanting of 1,500,000 seedlings this fall. * The story is beautifully illustrated with pictures of the Hillcrest plantation house, the nursery and other views of interest Charlotte Thompson Club Meets Boy-kin, 'S.
