rpiIE servants had retired and left
^ the old lftdy alone. She sat before
the decorated and lighted tree
that was burdened with glfti that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
of gifts and no companions, young op
old, sat with her, because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
to be, for, In the great chair opposite
to hers memory placed the fairy figure
of the child who had glared and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree of long ago. Beside
her there sat one who seemed to lay
bis hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
tent over her the strong and tender
youth who was once her hope for later
fears. Again the old house seemed
full of joy, and noisy merriment drove
put the deathly stillness, while the
tree that is always green spoke of the
Immortality of happinesa

The gums more frequently low
their strength and become feeble from
lack of care, but sometimes a poor
dentist does much to bring about
Rlggs' disease. Ill-fitting crowns and
bridges are a great menace to the
gums and often result In the formation
of pus, as do stumps of teeth anf
half-decayed roots which are attempted
to be saved by crowning or are pel*
Ultted to remain In the co"ntli.

"1915 S. C. Produce Association
11)21"?this is the inscription on the
handsome building in Meggetts, the
v?nfrtr of the truck growing section
of Charleston County. It is a substantial
brirk structure, two stories
with ornamental pressed brick front,
ind attractive portico. The Bank of
Meprtfctts occupies a part of tlv first
f1oor. The rest of the building* is
given over to the business of the
South Carolina Produce Association,
its owners.
This association is a stock-company
of truck growers, who organized
to sell their truck together after
years of individual marketing expeiie-ee.
How ^oil this organization ha*
vwvked let ' ?e f.-dlowint f-^t*
The par value of the stock is $50.00
per share. Onlv twenty per cent has
ever been called for payment, the remaining;
$40.00 per share having
been paid by earnings applied .is dividends
into the purchase of shares.
The Association charges a five per
cent commission and requires all
truck that is shipped under its brand
"South Carolina- Produce Association,"
to be graded and packed a*.
^ording to standard.
THe Association maintains a staff
of the very best marketing nprert"
and bookkeepers and pays them lib

salaries. Tt fully realizes that
to secure export services it relist p.?v
commensurate wages. What this
service menns is illustrated by the
following fiprures: Tp 1020 the association
handled 420.000 packages of
truck, for which about $3 000,000 wns
received; in 1922 it handled 822,000
packages, for which $l.fi00,000 was received.
Thus while the volume of
business doubled, the income was cut
in half. In other words, truck was
worth in 1022 little more than onefourth
of its value in 1020; but in
spite of this great depreciation in
prices, the association has been able
to sell entirely to the satisfaction of
its members, and now has an undiLane

vided surplus of over $250,000.
Instead of paying this out to its
stockholders, the association proposes
to use it in a hotter way. It will
make loans to its members, to enable
them to finance their truck growing.
It even proposes to borrow money and
lend that also. The association has
proven the value of organization.
Better freight prices, better distribution,
better prices, better credit facilities,
are some of its benefits. In
one word, it is stabilizing truck growin*
in the coast country.

HINTS ON FALL LITTERS
Clemson College.?A special effort
should be made at this season to
keep the f.'iU litters growing and thrifty.
The sows and pigs should be furnished
with shelter from the cold
rains and cold nights. Experience
has shown purebred breeders of the
Southern States that they cannot rely
on the temperate winters and that
shelter will prevent pneumonia, bad
colds, and general unthriftiness. A
moderate quantity of straw or leaves
should be used for bedding?not so
much that the^ pigs will not be able to
get out of the sow's wy.
When the pigs are old enough to
eat feed them in a creep. A little
shell corn or skimmilk is a good feed
to start them on. Extra feed pays

in good condition for weaning. Forage
can be supplied at this time by
rye and rape. Tt is especially desirable
to have enough forage to carry
the sows and pigs until freezing weather.
If forage is not available, a
more liberal use of & good protein
supplement is necessary at this time
because the hogs are depending upon
the feeder for their supply.
Don't feed lice. A little time and
trouble will rid the house and hogs
of these parasites. Crude oil or a
good coal tar dip will give goor results.
Don't forget that hogs drink water
in the winter. Smaller quantities
will be consumed than in summer

to the life of the animal.
Don't go to the extremes in furnishing:
shelter nd not allow the sows
and pigs to get out of the barn or
pen. Exercise, sunshine, and Ires
air are essential factors in grow in
hogs. Neither the no-shelter nor the
all-shelter method is desirable.

Selling Cream and Feeding Skim
Milk Pays.
"Dairying upon the new basis of
marketing cream is undoubtedly the
most profitable way of marketing
iorage ana grain, tnereiore, cream
dairying, or the keeping of a few
cows on every farm, the selling of
cream to a creamery, and the feeding
of skimmilk to pigs ,'ind poultry
is a most practicable and easily
adopted plan, fitting in admirably
with the plans for producing cotton
successfully under weevil conditions.
"The neerl tor a constant cash in
come from week to week, or month
to month, throughout the year on al1
farms is very urgent and has beei
all these years. Marketing crea,s
will meet this urgent need for a cos!
income, enabling the farmer to pro
ceed, in so far as current expense
are concerned, upon a cash basis am'
before, that any practicable means
whereby the farmer may relieve himself
of the necessity of going into
debt for supplies upon which to g<
while making a crop is of imptrtanoe
"The feeding of skimmilk to poultry
of the right kind should enable
the farmer to supplement his incomo
from the sale of cream with cash received
for poultry and eggs. Skimmilk
is a most excellent feed foi
brood sows and pigs, and a farmer
keeping a few cows with a constant
supply of skimmilk on hand will find
it much easier to produce, at least
meat enough for his home needs. Ir
fact, the cream dairying, poultry and
hoge program in connection with cot
ton is most practicable and will mear
prosperity for those farmers whc
adopt this farming policy.
"The keeping of cows will result
in an incidental and constant improvement
in our soils which will prove ol
cumulative value ;.in dshow up in increased
production and greater margins
of profits upon our main cash
crops each year."?Southern Railwaj
