HOW TO SELECT HOGS. Animal Husbandry Expert on lireed inn Swine. C'emson College. Oct. 1">.?A1 over South Carolina farmers are tak ing the advice that Clemson collegi has been urging persistently for sev , eral weeks and are trying to rais< hogs as a source of quick cash re turns. It is probable, says R. L Shields, head of the division of ani mal husbandry and dairying of Clem son college, that during the next fev months many farmers in this Stat< will invest in hogs for breeding pur poses, and naturally the type ant breed and the points that such breed ing stock should possess should b( considered as carefully as possible. , Prof. Shields states that all of th< leading breeds should give good re suits with reasonable attention Breeds of the lard type matur< earlier than those of the bacon type On the other hand, bacon hogs as i general rule will have larger litters but the difference is not necessarily great if one is careful in the selec tion of the sows and boars. Whei possible select hogs that have beei themselves raised from large litters Sows and boars from large litter: tend to produce large litters. The most popular breeds of th< lard type are Berkshire. Duroc-Jer sey and Poland China. In the Xortl the Chester White (O. I. C.) is on< of the popular lard breeds. Th< color of this breed is objected to by jnany in the South, it being claimec that the white skin is subject to sun scald or blister. The Essex is popu lar in certain sections. Of the bacoi breeds, the Tamworth no doubt lead: in numbers in this section. Tin Hampshire (biack ends and whit< middle! is a very popular breed ii certain Northern States. This breec is now considered dual purpose (botl lard and bacon) rather than strictl; a bacon breed. "Select a breed you believe in aw stick to that breed." advises Prof Shields. "Desirable breeding stocl should have strong constituted (large heart girth is a good indica tion of this) and plenty of bone o good quality. Narrowness of head long snout and coarse hair are ver: undersirable and indicate coarsenes, and poor quality. Strong back i: desired. The back should be straigh or slightly arched and should b< broad. The loin (the region imme diatelv in front of the hips, shouh be relatively short as well as broa< to insure strength. Look for wel developed hams and shoulders, an< fbr length and depth of side. "Sex characteristics should b< strongly shown. The boar shouh show masculinity in a marked de gree. Prepotency, the power t< transmit like qualities to the off spring, is very much desired in breed ing stock. Animals that are pro nounced in these points make th< best and surest breeders. "Endeavor to select uniform in dividuals that have the essentia characteristics of the breed, but d< not allow 'fancy points.' such a: white tip of tail, etc., to overbalanc< the importance of 'utility points, such as well developed hams, etc Utility points, not fancy points, g< to fill the pork barrel." t ?

This trip was quite ^ entertaining as we had an excellent ? j attendance, all eager for a view of a i>< real "Russian spy." \ ? Its Ridiculous Side. D I could not keep from feeling high- ^ 2 ly amused at the thought of what r= - fools I was making of them and they of me?for really the entire proce dure struck me as quite absurd. The - crowd did not in general display the r bitterness we have heard the Ger2 mans accused of. but I'm quite free - to admit there was faces among them 1 which made the presence of my mid tary guard wholly acceptable to me. 2 I could not help thinking what exquisite vandalism my ignorance of 2 the language was proving, for the - amount of high class contumely and . studied vituperation which these last 2 were wholly wasting on my untutor. ed ears must have been simply colos- ~ i sal. For all of this I couid not ; bring myself to regard this part of A 7 my trip as an asset, for I felt sure I - could never find my way home withi out asking, from this untraveled seci tion of Berlin, and somehow I could . not regard with hopefulness the s probable results of any inquiries I might make of my following, providi ed I were released. Then besides - it was not a part of Berlin you'd ext actlv choose for sightseeing with a i wholly unsympathetic guide. ? Arrived at the prison, I explained 7 my case to an officer who spoke 1 French perfectly. He wished to - know how I could identify myself as d - an American and when I explained i that my only means was by Ameri5 can Bankers' association checks, he i laughed and said. "You Americans ali ways have money, if nothing else." I l He saw the humor of the situation. 1 expressed his regrets at any inconl venience?which reminded me of the 7 crowd outside whom I regarded as a distinct "inconvenience." lectured the j i young officer, who was really only a; j . bad boy and looked amusingly sheep- j _ c ish, for having been an ass, and in1 formed me that 1 could now "go - back to the police." This was a sef vere jolt, for it meant that all that , was now settled was that my case f was not one of martial law. So 3 back we started for Brandenburger s Thor, again between a guard?all of t which I could not but regard as a ; step in the right direction. ^ Shopkeeper Interferes. * On the way a shopkeeper, hoping 1 to be hailed as a spy-catcher, hur1 ried out and interrupted my parade, * and conducted an officer and myself ? into his store. One of the maids 3 spoke P'rench and acted as interpret1 er. The extent of his deep knowl' edge of the prisoner was that I had B J been in his store that morning ask- tt * ing for information. The maid look" ed extremely disappointed that there it " was to be nothing more in the way tc 5 of a "scene," the crowd which filled it the street outside breathed naturally " once more, and the officer got even s< 1 with the world hy solemnly calling !r 5 the shopkeeper a fool. ? 5 As we marched back into Unter ar den Linden, the scene became still ? more exciting. At the very moment ? of our entrance the brilliant electric I 5 lights were all turned on- the illumination producing an excellent thea- ^ trjcal effect. It could not have been _ better staged. Huge crowds flocked ~ around us from all parts of Berlin's s splendid promenade until the officers r1 had to shout in order to get an opening. Three women dodged in be- "~ tween them and administered a fusil1 lade of slaps on my back. I never 1 could make out what was the idea of this extraordinary procedure. Either they were sympathizers, Americans, or French, or English who 1 wanted to assure me of their support ? 5 (which is more than improbable) or I else they were enthusiastic young Germans who thought they were * striking a blow in a good cause? whereas it was merely my back. From here on people were simply ' falling over each other to have a B look at me, all determined to see in my face some expression of the deep e and dark spirit of conspiracy which ^ must surely fill the heart of a Rus-e sian spy. Finally we arrived at the police * station and after having a look at the contents of my pockets, took my word for it that I was an American and that 1 had simply been taking photographs for my own pleasure. - Thev were as Dleasant as could be. again apologized for having troubled me and then sent an officer with me ? to see that I got aboard the right f street car for my "pension." 1 finally got home just before 10 o'clock . and found my "hostess" in a state i of extreme agitation for my welfare and on the point of communicating f with the authorities on my behalf.
