[EACH MEMBER WAS 1 KEEPER OF RECORDS j Some Found it Profitable to r I Breed as Well as Keep the Animals. r h?~. ? I . j. The pig-club work has been carrie'ip I on by the bureau of A umai industry j V of the department during the pie t r year in cooperation with the StateAgricultural Colleges of Alabama, 5 California, Georgia, Indiana, Kon^ tiuky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nc-[: braska, North Carolina, OklahomaOregon, and Texas. Pig clubs were 1 organized, anv> g the farm ehi'd"9'i| and provde a means of arousing fur-; ther interest in live stock, and at the 1 same time furnished profitable and | instructive work to the members. The economic objects of the pig clubs are: To teach the members how, to raise better swine cheaply; to give ; the members a means of earning, profits; and to afford the members a practical insight to the business side of farming. Indirectly, the improvement of the swine of the country ar.d the general introduction of better and cheaper- swine-raising methods are purposed. Kach pig-club member is required t?i keen m reeorrl of his niir-fpnilinir i i- ? - i'*r? . v;crk and report this at the end of the .State contest. Many unusually successful records have been made, j These are not typical of the work,! but rather represent its possibilities.! A summary and the averages of the, work of many jnembers give a better indication of the value of the pig-1 club work. In the 13 States named, 11,632 members were enrolled last year in the pig clubs. Not all were active members, but most of these raised pigs. While a great many reported more or less completely on their work, 1,608 members from 11 States, with a membership of 11,032, reported completely on weights, values, in weight, costs of gains, and profits. No figursc are available from Califoinin jmd Orotrnn nv<>nr>f no (lm ? - C,"") V?wpv ?-? " H) l"<number of members. The figures following are compiled from the complete reports. Seventeen hundred and eighty-three pigs were reported, or an average of 1.1 ! pigs per member. The majority of members took weanling pigs to feed ( in the spring and reported their results in the fall. The average weight | per pig at the beginning of the feeding period was 39.2 pounds. At the end of the feeding period, which averaged 1GG 1-2 days, the pigs weighed 194 1-2 pounds. This was an average daily gain in weight of 0.93 pound, at a cost of $0,044 per pound. This low cost of gain can be attributed, it is believed, to the better feeding methods practiced and the wide use of forage crops by the members. The original value of the pigs averaged $5.24. The average final . value was $21.43, a gain in value pf $10.19. This gain in value cost $0.91, giving an average net profit per pig of $9.37 and an average net profit per member of $10.29. i > WOnnXteriptiveFall nllUU u Seed Catalog just issued, tells all about Crimson Clover, Alfalfa and all Grass and Clover Seeds for Fall Planting.

These figures are a strong indica.ion that improved swine, raised in the right way, are profitable even when pork values are as low as they were in 1915. The vast majority of members had carefully selected high grade and pure-bred hogs, and to this improved blood, as well as the better feeding methods, can be attributed the large difference in favor of the average final value of pig-club hogs in the fall?$21.43, as compared with the estimated average value of all hegs on farms In the United States on January 1, 1916, $8.40. The pigclub members have shown their ability as a body to raise pigs successfully. They have raised good pigs, cheap pigs, and profitable pigs. Many are keeping their gilt pigs for breeding purposes. Some already have found it profitable to breed as well as to feed pigs. Fiftysix members reporting on their sows and litters reported* an average profit of $47.32. With the membership for this year doubled and most of the old members again on the rol's, the pig work should prove of oven greater economic value in the future. o NOTICE OF SALE.

( Section 11 of the old law, which ta>:el orders sent abroad for the m tkir. of future contracts on foreign cvttv i ( exchanges unless certain conditions ( were compiled with, was omitted. 1 A new section known as fin is insert. ?(\ in the bill, which provides an op-! ional contract under which partie nay, by agreement, without being abject to tax, contract that under ci tain specified conditions the buyer ..ay demand delivery of the basis grade named in the contract. Another modification of interest and assistance to the trade is the authorty conferred on the Secretary .* .Agriculture, in case of disputes, to*, include in his finding, even though only one question be referred, a com pieto classification of tlie cotton for the puropse of delivery on future contracts. Under the old law. the , authority of the Secretary was confined to a determination of the specific question of grade, quality, or length of staple referred to him by the parties. In othm; words, if the dispute involved grade only, and the cotton was found to be gin-cut which is a question of quality, the Secretary had no authority to include a statement as to gin-cut in his findings. The rules and regulations of both the Treasury and the Agricultural Departments, with slight modifications and additions necessitated by the changes made in the law, have been reissued, so that there will be no disturbance whatsoever to the trade. o POINTERS ON THE I ORCHARD AND GARDEN Clcmson College, S.

C.?Purebred poultry is more profitable for sup- ( plying eggs or chickens than mongrels. Stock can be purchased of strains bred for heavy egg production, particularly in the Single Comb White Leghorn, that will lay more eggs yearly than fowls not having this heavy-laying trait. Purebred chickens of the general purpose ov, meat type will, during the growing period, make a more rapid and economical gain in live weight than mongrels. At no age are mongrel chick ens as salable as purebreds, and, for j satisfying the demands for the ci it - , cal egg and poultry markets that require a uniform production of high quality chickens, mongrel poultry is' not satisfactory. 4 ? When you decide ithe fall U j it' poultry, buy a breeding pen ol you ' One cockerel and from five . "on pullets is a suitable brocdir. Hy starting this way a point" . ; t can be stocked in two yean.

Then the sterilization is done in tive jais or eon.alners. after they are partially or entirely sealed, making it practically impossible for bacteria or sporse to enter after the pioduct has once been carefully sterilize*.! or cooked. In following this method vegetables should fi'st be blanched, in boding water or live steam, then quickly dipped into cold water, the skins removed, and the products cut into suitable size pieces. The products are then packed in containers and sterilized. Leaflets N. R. 2:1. 24, 2S. dh :l:, and 27 of the department cor,vain detailed inst.uction,; and recipes. P?y this "cold-pack*' or cold-fill method of canning, many food products can be successfully sterilized in a single period v. ill*, but one handling of tin product in and out of the processing vessel.
