ARTICLE XLII At this time of year most of the sows have farrowed their spring lit ters and it is very Important that the little pigs bo kept In a thrifty, grow ing condition and developed to maturi ty at a minimum cost. A fender around the farrowing pen made of poles or scantling ahout ten inches from the wall and eight inches from the floor will save the lives of many little pigs and prevent the sow from crushing or injuring them. t'ntii the pigs are a month old the only way of feeding them is through the mother, and th? amount of milk given by the sow lias a decided offecl on the future development of tho young pigs. Our plan of handling bogs at (Mem son College is to keep the sow with young pi^s In the farrowing pen which has a small lot adjoining for three to four weeks after farrowing, then turn them out on green rye. clover, and Bermuda grass pasture or rape, Which are the only green crops we have at present, Separate small movable houses are provided for each sow and in addition to the feed given the sow. which consists of a little corn and wheat middlings, the pigs are fed In separate pens on skim milk and middlings made into a thin slop, and! TO SET PRISONERS FREE WHO ARE I IN ILL HEALTH Governor Mouse Announces that Pris oners who are in Chronic III Health at the Penitentiary wIH be Given Freedom. Columbia, May 10. Following a per sonal Inspection of the penitentiary this morning in company with Chair nun Sanders of the board of direc tors, Governor Blense announced Ids Intention to SOt free all prisoners dis abled by chronic ill health. This will remove from I lie big prison many convicts serving life sentences. The governor will in each case re. quire a certificate, from the prison physician as to the fact of the (Us ability. He said such convicts were r, burden to the state. The governor also said lie would not call a special?sesslon of the directors but at their mooting on Juno 7th would urge them to cancel the hosiery mill contract. If this cannot be done leg ally, an effort may be made to have the mill condemned by the health au thorities on sanitary grounds. Governor Blease issued the follow ing statement: "State Penitentiary, "Columbia. S. C. May 19. "In company with Chairman San ders, of the borad of directors. Dr. Butler, prison physician; Capt. C. C. Roberts, captain of the guards, my sec retary. Mr. Blackburn, and Mr. Green, of the News and Courier. I have made a thorough inspection of the peniten tiary buildings and grounds. I find the buildings and grounds clean, well! kept and, in my opinion, the sanitary conditions are as good as could bo i expected, taking into consideration! the goneral condition of the buildings. '? I find that new building:; are needed ( and Improvements needed In the old buildings, Which I think the legisla ture should appropriate money for or allow the directors to use the money which they have or will have on hand for there purposes. "I lind some prisonors who are help loss and in a pitiful condition. Upon their nssurnuco to me thai they have a good home to Which they can go, and that they will not be a burden to the county from which they came. I promised to parole them, which I Intend to do (as soon as 1 can get the proper information from the clerks of Courts? upon the recommendations of Dr. Butler and Mr. Sanders and Capt. Roberts. \s to Hosiery Mill. "As to the hosiery mill?this Is an old building; some of tho machinery is old and out of date, and In my opin ion not In proper condition for ser vice. I find the building clean and tho machinery seemingly well kept; however, I am of the opinion that no convicts should ho required to do work In this mill. I believe It detrimental to their health, and I do not believe that it is for the best Interest of the people of the State and for that rea son I think the hosiery mill contract should be cancelled and other labor provided for these prisoners. If It were voluntary It would bo all right, for these people to work In this mill, nt their own risk, as Is done in the hos iery mills and in the cotton mills all over the State, but I do not think that the State should compel labor In this mill. As, In my opinion, it Is de trimental to the health of the prison ers and will result In great Injury both to those w'thln the walla and to the citizens of the State from those who leave the walls and go among tho people at large.?News and Courier. !f no milk is available use middlings and ground corn or six parts ground corn and one part tankago. The llttlo pigs also learn to eat the green feed and when two months old are weaned. Having learned to eat well, they will feel the loss of their mothers very llttlo nor are tholr digestive organs deranged by any sudden change of feed. Tills system of feeding Is continued until the early sorghum. Spanish pea nuts, and later soy bean lots are ready and the corn and cowpeas. it is im portant that the pigs be given plenty of Clean water and shade and kept free from lice by using any cheap 'navy oil or a five per cent, solution Of any of the standard coal tar pro duets used for this purpose. Farmers must not forgtt that srze is largely the result of feed as well as inheri fance. and while the pig may Inherit large size, it requires constant, liberal feeding to develop it. In our experiments this year we are arranging to determine the number of pounds of pork per acre that can be derived from the different crops easi ly grown in this state. We would al so be glad to gel In touch with farm ers who are feeding pigs this Stimmer. Prof. A. Smith. COPELANR SCHOOL CLOSING, Delightful Picnic Marked the Closing of the School Friday.
