For the encouragement-e# flyestock farming as a means of diversifying the income and improving soil fertility a livestock development train is being « * run over the Atlantic Coast Line, the Charleston and Western Carolina and the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens rails in South Carolina June 18 to July XI, stopping at 52 principal towns and inviting all people interested in live stock or poultry development aboard ito see the free exhibits. With the co -operation of the Clemson College Ag ricultural Extension Service, dairy, I hog, sheep and poultry exhibits from jthe_college will be carried and repre sentatives of the extension service and 'of the Atlantic Coast Line will ac .company the train to talk with inter- iested visitors and to take part in j programs. v One poultry car will carry exhibits of desirable type hatching eggs, hens of desirable breeding type, the type of hens to cull and the type to keep as good layers and samples of feeds |that are giving good results on the 'Clemson College poultry plant. A flat car will have built on it a Clem son type brooder house and a Clem son type laying house, both fully equipped and carrying flocks (%f live birds that are managed just as good poultrymen handle their flocks. Jersey and Guernsey cows of goot type, both, of which have good milking records, yearling heifers, calves ant bulls of each of these breeds will be stabled on one car with a “piney woods rooter” hog, a pig club gilt, a / purebred Poland China sow,, a Berk shire boar and a few pigs feeding from a self - feeder in Just the way Clemson College recommends for eco nomical pork production. There will be a 12-pound fleece clipped this spring from one of Clemson College’s purebred Hampshire ewes hanging beside a two or three-pound fleece clipped from an average native scrub ewe. Purebred Hampshire and South- down sheep representative of their breeds will occupy pens, while in one pen a grade ewe will stand with her superior lamb which got its better quality from purebred ram parentage. Another car will carry equipment, feed, disease and parasitfe pest exhib its: equipment needed for the most practical farming with these classes of stock, feeds that every farmer should grow and feed at home to good animals, and samples of the disease and pest troubles that every farmer must combat, together with advised control measures. A lecture coach is being equipped to give lantern-slide or movie-illus trated lectures to audiences, while a loud-speaker will be used to carry the lecturer audibly to audiences gath ered for some distance around the train, where they may sit in the shade or in convenient places. County agents and local organiza tions are arranging programs to be , given at each place W’here the train stops and where visitors gather. The entire train will carry only ideas that farmers can make use of on their owm farms. CLEMSON PLAN OF HOG FEEDING PAYING FARMERS WELL FOR CORN One hundred and three carloads of hogs were fed last year by South Car olina farmers in co-operation with the extension livestock specialists of i Clemson College on Clemson College rations, were shipped to eastern mar kets and returned to the farmers sub stantial profits on the corn they grew and fed. Last year 12 litters of pigs in this state were finished to a ton weight or more by six months of age. < While there is no final report of the year’s results with demonstration-fed hogs, many reports show very satis factory prices for the corn marketed in the form of pork. A carolad of hogs fed out in Marion county and shipped April 4 showed that 100 pounds of gain were put on with five and one-fifth bushels of corn in addition to supple ments at a cost of $5.92. These^farm- ers got $1.80 a bushel for their corn on the Richmond hog market. On ; April 11, another car of hogs was load- ,ed in Marion county by seven farm ers, netting $1,616 at the car door. Demonstration-fed hogs in George town county last year made their gains at a cost of $6.35 a hundred \ pounds, while five bushels of corn and 31 pounds of fish meal made the hun dred pounds of pork. Records of Dorchester county hog feeding ehowed l».t summer <*>»t | college of s swlneherd thst wonld not gains were being made for about $5.35 a hundred pounds. \ « • Grant Berkshire* At Clem sen Offer F< • Unusual Opportunities Animal husbandmen of Clemson College Interested Parker Bros., fam ous Berkshire hog breeders, of Niles, Michigan, In the development at the In fact, many of the hogs fattened by the Clemson plan have made gains at about five cents a-pound, according to J. R. Hawkins, extension livestock specialist, who is in charge of this co-operative work. An unusual number of farmers are this year feeding pigs while many are looking for good hogs. Purebred boars have been in demand too. The Clem son feeding plan is pleasing so many of the co-operators and their neigh bors that doubtless the hog will take its place on South Carolina farms soon to stabilize the farm income, to consume feeds that can be grown and to occupy part of the farmer’s winter time, not to mention its part in build ing up the fertility of the land. These fattening methods will be explained to visitors on the Atlantic Codst Line- Clemson College Livestock Develop ment Special Train. • CLEMSON BUILDING FLOCK TO GIVE STATE BEST OF SHEEP To Help Farmers Breed Up More Profitable Sheep and Make More Use of This Livestock; Leading Shepherd Handling Flock.

So, in 1822, Clemson Baron and Mich igan Baroness Third, two of Parker Brothers’ best hogs came to the col lege herd at a sacrificial price. Thus was founded a swineherd that com petent judges claim to be the best in the Berkshire world. From it some of the best swine blood to be found anywhere has been sold to farmers of South Carolina. Now the A. C. L.- Clemson College Livestock Develop ment Train is encouraging farmers to profit by boosting hogs.

POOR LAYING HOUSES TRIM CAROUNA’S POULTRY PROFIT > ‘ . Recoras Show Effect of Housing During January Freeze. So popular is the notion that a hen needs little care on the farm when grains can be picked up, the barn loft or manger or the brier patch make an ideal nest, and the tree top or wood shed are good enough for roosting. On the other hand, records show that birds poorly protected In cold weath er or crowded in hot weather ease _ up on the eggs and may take their time about getting started laying again, while those in a good house are little affected by such weather changes. Records of two flocks in Barnwell , county, both about the same size, lay ing about the same number of eggs, show that one of them very poorly housed started down grade on .Tan- , ^uary 2, when the weather dropped from 18 degrees t.o nearly zero, and In one week were laying 72 eggs in stead of the previous 219 eggs a day. Still a week later they were far be 1 - low normal production. At the same time the* other flock laying 328 eggs on January first scarcely dropped be low the 300 mark on* any; of the fol lowing cold days, and' two we^ks later had recovered to 306, practically nor mal. During the month of January the poorly-boused hens averaged only eight eggs apiece, while the well- housed liens averaged 16.4 eggs. Many other record-keepers with poor laying houses had more .violent reactions to the colfl wave , The Clemson type, open front, shed er prosperity ancTstability to our agri culture. These, says Prof. J. P. La- Master, chief of dairying at Clemson College, are the reasons why the At lantic^ Coast Line-Clemson College Livestock Development train is fea turing this industry to the people of the state. At Florence the oldest of the pres ent creameries is drawing cream from one of the finest Guernsey sections of America, the Pee Dee, where the dairy cow is bringing prosperity to her owners because she is given fhe attention of ifien who appreciate her worth. Darlington, Chesterfield, Dil lon, Marion, Williamsburg, and Berk eley counties’ farmers 1 send cream there and get checks we&ly in return. Two dreameries io* Sumter since 1923 get supplies from surrounding counties but, strange to say, get little milk from Sumter county Itself, al though nearly perfect conditions for dairy forage and feed growing make this one of the best dairy opportuni ties in the state, according to Clemson College dairymen. A creamery at Charleston gets milk from the entire Pee Dee and many other parts of the state but handles very little cream. Batesburg, Saluda, Greenwood, Au gusta, Newberry, Chester and Rock Hill each have a. creamery and John ston, Abbeville and McCormick a cream station each. Aside from Mc Cormick county, where 40 or 50 farm ers get $200 to $250 in weekly cream checks from 100 to 150 cows and roof laying house, which is very simi lar to the one that protected tke above hens and prevented any egg-sacrifice last winter, will be carried on a flat car with the Atlantic Coast Line- Clemson College Livestock Develop ment Train and a flock of-chickens will go with it over the state to show to the public this economical and sat isfactory building. jit is a common fault of South Car olina pdhltrymen that they have too little floor space for their flocks. Crowding is especially undesirable in hot weather. Then, most of them are shed-roof houses, their success de pending upon tightness of construc tion.

True, purebred bull rings in some of ;hese counties a few years ago improved the farm cattle considerably, and there is a gradual increase of cow’s on the farms nearer creameries. Newberry’s creamery gets its supplies from small farm herds "'generally scattered through the coun ty, Recent employment of a dairy specialist in the county bids fair to boost the number of cattle as well as to lead into greater profit from that branch of farming.

This and the^ Rock Hill creamery, youngest of the bunch, draw from York, Lancaster, Cherokee and Union counties and general farm ; interest in this business will doubtless Increase the number of cows. As yet, none of the creamerieu get the amount of cream for most profitable opera tion. They will buy all they can get.

Kai quit the library of the City of New York fot; service, was camped near Spartanburg and later mustered out in; that vicinity. He was surprised at the scantiness of dairy cow’s to supply South Carolina cities with milk and was attracted to possibilities awaiting enterprising dairymen. Out of the army, he worked on a Spartanburg dairy for experience and saved money until opportunity allowed him to pur chase 20 acres of land just out of the city limits and three or four good grade cows, both on terms. Thus came the transformation of a library worker into a dairyman of the first rank. ' 1 There was little trouble” getting the first few customers. Mr. Schwensen milked his own cows, delivered his own milk, grew his own crops and In fact was the entire business. It is not- able that he has always made his small acreage grow more roughage in a year than many 100-acre farms, for he daily hauled manure out of the barn to the land and kept every acre growing something all the time. He grows alfalfa, /^Soybeans, cowpeas. sorghum, and has small grains on Tils land every winter, kll of which he cuts and feeds green in the barn. By daily distribution of manure, a habit he still persists in, the Schwensen barn has few'er flies on the hottest summer day than the average dining room, and his land is growing richer literally day by day.
