e e* ee ee ee * * e ** ee,. *S * The ,Hog Problem as Viewed by * Ono of Limited! Means. * In view of the wide ntitest .now displayed in the raising of hogs, I will give a few observations as a result of my own experience. TAking first the breed of hog to 'be selected, I will say that the individual taste. will govorn largely in' this, though personally I prefer the Essex breed. . The Berk shire, the Durock-Jersey, the Poland China and the Essex a'ro all good. breeds and will thrive- well in this country If given proper attention. The reason I am partial to the Essex Is be cause of some special characteristics which I think make them very valua ble to a small farmer. They are fine mothers, good hustlers for their own living, have good fattening qualities at any age and.with me have never turned out to be chicken eaters. Il fact the only drawback to the Essex is its low breeding qualities. You nted not expect more than one litter of pigs a year. However, I had a gilt one year old to farrow ten pigs and raise them all. I know that the danger of cholera always enters into the question of raising hogs. I think that cholera is du1e largely to improper care, and can 1be avoided. With dry, warm shelter in winter, clean of dust, with oats, rye or something to graze upon, then 1er niuda grass with running water in the summer time to pasture upon I see no reason why our county should not raise all the pork that is needed with in its bounds and then have some to. spare. The idea that many I'ossess that a hog thrives mgct in fllth and dirt is all wrong. The cleaner his surroundings the healthier he will be and consequently the more flesh he will put on. I have written this in the holie that it will be of some benefit to my broth er farmers. Please do not take it as being boastful or even critical. I would like to hear from others, those wlw. 'believe that I am on the right track and those who might differ with me. My next contribution, if I write again, will be on feed or grazing patches. Yours for success, W. P. Todd, Barksdale, S. C. Note-The Advertiser would be glad to have other farmers write on this or any other subject of interest to them. 'Write briefly and on one side of the sheet, mailing your letters dur ing the latter part of the week. We cainnot handle them very well when they arrive on Monday or Tuesday. .The Editor.

' Nome, Alaska, Sept. 17.-ViIjaliur Stefansson, chief of the Canadian gov erniict Arctic exploring and survey ing expedition that left Victoria, 13. C., in June, 1913, and who set out afoot over the ice With two companions from the shores of northeastern Alas ka in March, 1914, to seek new land in uncharted seas, did not go to hin death, as the world had begun to fear, but found -the new land and the only hardships endured were those of short rations. The power schooner Ru by arrived fron -lersehel Island yesterday with dispatches from- Stefansson to the Canadian government in which he omits reference, to the perils of the Journey on the icc and gives space to' the scientilic results achieved. Stefansson is wIntering at Banks Land where lie lias a larger power schooner and a siall one. He plans to explore his new territory (luring the winter and next summer lpene trate further into the regions of mys tery between Alaska and the North Pole, where no ship has ever gone. The southern, or Anderson wing of the expedition, is pursuing its seien title work in Mackenzi( Delt.a and re ports no mishap except tile deatlh of Engineer Daniel Ilu11e of tle power boat Alaska. This is tle i rteentlh (leath amliong the members of the expedition. Might men perished while trying ,. to reaCh Warangell Island and another acci dentally shot and killed himseif there. Another in the Mackenzio country went insane while lost and committed s'icide by shooting. Stefansson accomplished practical ly every purpose for which his haz ardous Journey was undeeta ken. Ac Cording to wor(l brought here, -Sie fansson, with two companions, Stork er Storkerson and Ole Anderson, set olit from Martin Point, Alaska March 22, 1911, over the frozen Polar Ocean to search for supposed new lands in the Uca-ufort Sea. Frequent Eating. One big m0eal a day ilay be suffl cient, Writ('s I CorreSIpoIldelt, but even its advocat's would probalbly ad. iiit that an occasional snack (uiring the rest of the day is necessary. Long distance athletes know that strenuous physical work iecessitates stoking at frequent intervals. "Little and often'" is the Illotto of the long-distance cy clist, for instance. Hie keeps his big meal for the end of the (lay, but he knows that tile "hunger knock" Is tile worst form of fatigue, aid he nibbles as lie goes to guard against it.
