HOW TO ALLEVIATE
SUFFERINGS ON FARMS
Green Feeds are Big- Factor in
Taking Care of Hogs in Hot
Weather.
Hot weather occupies a leading position
in the hog's calendar of horrors.
During the season when the
sun is at its best, porkers suffer unless
protective precautions in the
way of shade and a sanitary wallow
arc provided. Particularly in the
case of shipping hogs by rail is mortality
heavy during the season when
the mercury is skyrocketing.
Where it is necessary to ship fat
hogs to market at this time of year,
such precautions as icing the cars,
shipping- at night as far as possib'e
on special stock trains, and exerting
every effort to expedite the movement
of the live stock to the central
market so that the animals suffer
only a minimum of shrinkage in
weight and discomfort during their
railroad journey, should be practiced.
Cool Showers on Cars.
(According1 to the United States Department
of Agriculture, it is advisable
to equip each car which is within
about one day's trip of its destination
with approximately 500 pounds
of ice suspended at even intervals in
burlap sacks by means of stout rope

from the coiling of the car. The motion
of the car will cause these racks
to swing to and fro so that the hogs i
are continuously showered with coid
water during their market trip, until
the supply of ice is exhausted, in
case it is impossible to secure an
abundance of ire, the stockman should
bed his car with .*> or 4 inches of sand,
which should be well wetted before
j the train starts and, if possible, 't
should be again moistened in transit.
The heat discomfort of hogs on the
farm may be alleviated by locating
the hog quarters amid plenty of
shade and providing a substantial,
pel manent hog wallow made of con-f
crete of a size adequate for the requirements
of the herd. Arrangements
should he made for draining I
the wallow at frequent intervals and
adding fresh water to maintain it in
la sanitary condition. If the wallow is
constructed in an unsheltered position,
a simple sunshade may be made
of straw or boughs laid over a framc
. 1 ? 4 L ?
work built about 4 ieet aoove mtwallow.
Grecti Feeds Are Good.
One advantage of the warm weather
season is that, ordinarily, it provides
an abundance of green feed and
pasture crops for the hogs to harvest j
in the self-serve way. Every hog
raiser should make maximum use of j
all available green feeds in the summer
ration, as such materials are not
only nutritious and fattening during j
J the high-temperature season, hut they 1
also are inexpensive material for the
making of profitable pork. Furthermore,
the porkers gain necessary exorcise
in rustling the green feed.

STOLL ENTERS RACE

deepening' of the channel of the Wa > !
camaw River above Conway, .it
which time the larger proposition of
the opening of the inland water
through to the Cape Fair River, was !
also discussed. Notwithstanding the i
torrential rains, a large attendance j
was on hand, attesting the interest j
felt in this important matter by the ;
people of Georgetown and Horry j
Counties. The benefits to accrue '
from the opening of this waterway, i
which Representatives Moore of;
Pennsylvania and Small of North
Carolina have been urgently advo- j
eating for years would be of tremendous
importance, not only to this section
but to the entire Atlantic sea- ,
beard. It would develop wonedrfully !
the rich sections to be traversed, give ,
to shipping a safe passage, free from
the dangers of storms and enemy at
tack in time of war on the open sea,
ami a pleasant voyage to the hun- j
dreds of tourist yachts from Maine t?> i
the Florida resorts. Moreover, it J
would prove of inestimable value to
the federal government in the movement
of naval vessels of lesser ,
di aught.
The hearing was held before Col.
Ci. R. Lukosh, United States engineer '
of the Charleston district, who was !
accompanied on the trip from Georgetown
to Conway by W. O. WTiitescarver,
assistant engineer, and McQueen
Quattlcbaum, engineer of the United
States engineering office at
Georgetown.
A number of arguments were made
t>> those directly concerned showing
why the prosecution of the project
would prove of great local benefit ?ri
agricultural and commercial development
along tho upper Waccamaw
River and speeches were made by
business and professional men both
of Conway and Georgetown attesting i
the deep interest felt in the un<hr
taking. Others attending the hearing ?
from Georgetown were: F. D. Rosa,

music was furnished by a selected j I
choir, which sang- the beautiful oid j
hymns of the Methodist church. i
The funeral procession was the
longest ever seen in Florence, stretcn- '
ing over at least nine blocks. In the !
collage wore noted automobiles from
every part of the sixth district. The
floral emblems were the handsomest
ever seen at a funeral here, many cf
them having been sent from Washing
ton by the friends of Mr. Ragsdale
there and a number by the organizations
and societies to which he belonged.
The design sent by the South
Carolina delegation was particularly
handsome and occupied a place at the
head of the casket. It was a replica
in flowers of the Palmetto flag and
was most ingeniously conceived and
artistically executed. Other designs
were equally beautiful.
Mr. Kagsdalc had expressed the desire
that his remains be placed at rest
in Florence, the city he loved and had
! done so much for and splendid tri|
butes were paid his memory at the
funeral yesterday afternoon.
The honorary pallbearers were Senators
