HOGS AND DAIRY COWS.
Florence County Farmer Finds the
Combination Very Profitable.
Some very encouraging results have
been obtained by W. C. McKenzie,
a farmer of Florence county, in a recent
feeding demonstration to ascertain
the cost of feeding pigs on skim
milk, corn meal, and rye pasture,
the records showing that very economical
gains can be made with a small
amount of concentrates when skim
mi'k and pasture are available, and
indicating that, with the development
of the creamery industry in the state,
faimers might well consider the hogda
ry cow combination for a practically
sure profit.
Mr. McKenzie had 43 purebred
Hampshire pigs farrowed between
January 10th and January 20th, 1922.
The feed which the mothers consumed
while the pigs were suckling, as well
as all the feed consumed by the pigs
up to three and two-thirds months
of age, was charged against them.
No attempt was made to have the
pigs put on weight fast They simply
received all the skim milk produced
oa the farm, with the proper proportion
of corn meal, the idea being to
have the cows support themselves
from the sale of cream and have the
milk to feed for profit.
The 43 pigs weighed the first week
in May approximately 60 pounds
each. Altogether 76 bushels of com
were consumed and 14,300 pounds of
skim milk, or an average of 42 pounds
a*' forr> and 119 1-6 pounds of milk
daily for the 43 pigs, which gained
an average of one-half pound daily
from birth.
The total cost of raising the pigs,
without labor, was as follows:
76 bu. corn @ 80c $ 60.80
14,300 lbs. skim milk @ 40c
cwt. 57.20
2 acres rye pasture @ $12 per
acrer 24.00
Vaccination 10.00
Total cost $152.00
The cost of feed per pig was therefore
$3.53. But as Mr. McKenzie
wished to keep only the gilts, he sold
the ten males for five dollars each.
This made his 33 gilts cost an average
of $3.09 each for feed from birth
to 60 pounds weight.
An extension service livestock specialist
who cooperated with Mr. McKenzie
in conducting the demonstration
states that the work was carried
on under average farm conditions
without facilities for doing accurate
experimental work and that
the results are most applicable to
average farming. He thinks that considerable
more rapid gains might have
been mr.de during the last month or
* - * ? Vtor) I
six weeics xi more i-viiwinawa ????
been fed, and that it is not most
nrofitable to feed skim milk in a
larger proportion than 3 to 1. He
advises also that corn meal is much
preferable to corn and cob meal because
of its less bulky nature, but
as no sheller was available the corn
was used as corn and cob meal.
From the dairying of the venture
it may be said that the cows on Mr.
McKenzie's farm, which are mostly
grade Guernseys, are more than paying
for their keep with the weekly
cream check.
o Brining
Cucumbers.
Boil water, let cool to 1 gallon
water, add 1 quart sugar, 1 pint vinegar,
1 pint salt; pour over cucumbers
that have been washed and wiped
dry. Keep weighted down so that all
cucumbers will be under the brine.
When fermentation has ceased, skim
off white mold and cover with parafin.
This will keep the cucumbers indefinitely
and are ready cured for pickle.
Pickling,
If you want to make pickles out of
the fresh cucumbers brine over night
in salt water, 1 cup to the gallon of
water and proceed same as if they
had been brined.
Take cucumbers out of brine, soak
in clear water 2 hours, scald in hot
water for a few minutes, soak 15

ful lime to 1 quart water), rinse in
clear water, scaid for 5 minutes,
wipe dry and pack in jars, fill jar
Half full of vinegar and finish filling
with water, next morning remove 1
cup of solution, which can be saved
for another time, and add pure vinejflff
gar in the place of the cup that was
? > removed. Drain all liquid from jar,
measure and to each quart add 1 cup
sugar, stir to dissolve, heat, add spice
bag containing the following: 1 teaspoon
nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1
tablespoon each of stick cinnamon,
whole spice, and cloves, bring all to
boil, remove spice bag and put away
to be used another time. Pour solution
over cucumbers in the jars, seal
and process 5 minutes, at simmering,

Prepare to Poison Boll Weevil.
"In time of peace, prepare for war,"
is a proverb more or less in disfavor
in international negotations just now,
but it still applies to fighting the
cotton boll weevil, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Late poisoning is likely to hurt the
farmer more than it hurts the weevil,
and the only way to be sure of getting
an "even break" with the weevil
is to be supplied in advance with calcium
arsenate and dusting machinery.
"We find every year," says B. R.
Coad, director of the Department's
boll weevil laboratory, "that many
farmers fail to realize their danger
early enough and then start making
desperate efforts to poison after the
infestation has become very heavy.
They scurry around trying to get calcium
arsenate and dusting machinery,
and nearly always there is considerable
delay. Even when they get the
poison and the machinery, it is extremely
difficult to control weevil infestation
after it becomes severe.
There are so many weevil stages present
in the squares and bolls that some
of them come out every day and
poison must be kept constantly on
the plants if any good is to be done
by it. This very greatly increases
the expense of poisoning. Then, if
there comes even a chort spell of
rainy weather, such control as has
been gained is lost and the tarmer nas
gone to heavy expense for nothing.
We advise all cotton planters to be
extremely careful about starting late
season poisoning. In a few cases, it
has been successful, but at heavy cost
and only under the most favorable
conditions. The only safe course is
to be prepared to poison at the right
time." Write the Delta Laboratory,
Tallulah, Louisiana, for instrictions
"When and How to Poison."
o
Child Placing "Aid Cases."
The Child Placing Bureau of the
State Board of Public Welfare is
often called upon for advice and assistance
in cases where children are
taken care of at the expense of relatives
or organizations. In such cases
the onlv expense incurred by the
state is the time of the workers. The
Child Placing Bureau has secured several
excellent boarding homes for
children and in these homes, "aid
cases," as they are called, are placed.
There are at present eight children
who are being boarded out in these
homes. For various reasons these
children can not be cared for in their
own homes and are being temporarily
provided for until they can be returned
to their homes or some other
permanent arrangement can be made
for them.. The children's parents or
friends are allowed to visit them at
convenient times, and regular reports
are sent to the parents or friends
advising them of the welfare of the
children. These children are under
the direct supervision of the Bureau

The Soul Lives On.
Paris, June 5.?Conclusions of
Camille Flammarian, the French
astronomer, from the study of a few
hundred cases along purely scientific
lines and apart from religious or
spiritualistic viewpoints, are that the
soul lives after decomposition of the
body, is endowed with faculties still
unknown to science and can manifest
itself at a distance without the mediation
of the senses.
"I have spent fifty years studying
the question," the astronomer says,
" and have applied to it the same
rules as to scientific research, I excluded
every example which would
not stand the test of scientific verification."
Among the proofs offered by Dr.
Flammarian are cases of dead persons
fulfilling promises, giving notice
of their own demise and giving
of events which afterward matt .1ized,
even such as the execution of
vengeance for wrongs through mediums
previously unaware of the
wrongs done.
