GRAZIXCI C HOI'S FOR HOGS,
Clcnisoo Extension Work ? Artielc
LXV1I.
While hog-raising; has proven to
be one of the most profitable branch?
es of f. -ming in every section of the
country, it is especially well adapted
to the South. To make any branch of
live stock farming profitable, there
are three essentials: First, animals
of good quality and breeding: Sec?
ond, an abundance of suitable feed;
Third, a good market for the animals
and their products. It is the object
of this article to discuss briefly the
most economical way of producing
feed, In order that this year may
reduce to the minimum the cost of
pork production.
By using a portion of the farm for
hog crops, It Is a comparatively easy
matter to provide grazing crops up?
on which, with the addition of a very
small amount of grain, the hogs will
grow and fatten every month In the
year. The plan that we have follow?
ed at Clemson f .oge, with very
good results. Is to provide a num?
ber of one and-two-acre lots. The
slse and number of the lots will de?
pend upon the number of pigs raised.
Beginning early in March we sow rape
on well fertilised land at the rate of
six pounds per acre broadcast. This
will furnish grazing from April 15 to
July 1. These lots are then planted
In cow-peas and soy beans for fall
erasing. In some sections, vetch, and
red or crimson clover, sown In the
spring, will furnish good grazing; hut
we have much better success by sow?
ing these crops in the early fall.
Peanuts planted in drills early In
May at tho rate of on 3 to one and
one-half bushels per acre has produc?
ed more pork per acre '.nan any oth?
er crop tried so far. Cow-peas and
soy beans planted In dillls in April
and May, at the rate of 1-2 bushel
per acre, mature about the same
time as the peanuts, and can he
graced together; and. moreover; they
furnish a ration that Is unexcelled for
fattening the hogs for market in the
fall. A small patch of early corn Is
planted to furnish gra n before the
field corn has matured. Sorghum Is
a popular hog feed with some farm?
ers, hut our experiments Indicate
clearly that It is not neat'y as profi?
table as many other crops, but that
It Is much better suited for cattle
and horses than for hogs.
Planting cow-peas in the field corn
Is the cheapest method we have yet
devised for fattening hogs In the
fall, or for carrying them until the
fall-sown crops are ready.
For winter and early spring grazing
there are no crops better than rape
and red clover sown In September, at
the rate of six pounds of rape and
elRht to ten potinds of rod clover per
acre. If the weather Is favorable,
the rape will be ready to graze In
thirty to forty days, and will stand
grazlr.g all winter. Oats nnd vetch,
or wheat and vetch, sown in Septem?
ber or October, at the rate of two
bushels of oats and a half bushel of
vetch, or one bushel of wheat and a
half bushel of vetch, per acre furnish
? \< li.nt winter and sprlrg grazing
for sows and young pigs, and can
ba grazed until the land is wanted for
peanut-*, new-peas, or soy beans, the
next spring.
? ?ur bermuda lots seeded in white
Of burr clover furnish pasture from
March to November, and are essen
i i i I on ? very hog farm
ProStable pork prod notion In the
South is dependent upon providing
suitable grazing crops to be harvest?
ed by the hogs. The old plan, of buy
ng or using high priced feeds and
tarrying them to the hofJS will al
u .i\ h result In failure.
If the farmers of the State who are
Interested in bosj-ralelng will oorre
?pond wltS Clesaaon Collese, they will
hi gl\?n all the Information and as
? hCi |e enable them t<> make this
branch of farming a profitable lunl

ChaHcetonlgn May Seek to Succeed
Gemeral Jonoa a s State chairman.
Columbia Record,
Oen. Wilie Jones, ehalrman of the
State Democratic executive commit?
tee, stated Tuesday that he would not
1'.- a candidate for re-election to the
otlice. Oen, Jones gave as his reason
that he had served on the committee
for 30 years and he feels that it is
time for another to take the reins.
In talking of his desire no. to he a
candidate for re-election. Gen. Jones
Mid:
"1 will not be a candidate for re?
election to the chairmanship of the
Democratic executive committee, feel?
ing and believing that I have done my
full duty to the Democratic party,
having served it for 16 years as the
committee's secretary and for 14
years as chairman. There are 45
men on the committee, any one of
whom would make a first-class chair?
man, so that the committee will have
no trouble in selecting a competent
leader. I have never served in my
life on a committee whose members
were more capable of serving the
Democratic party than those who
have served with me on the State
Democratic commltte in the past.
They have given their time and tal?
ents for the good of the party without
compensation, and I do not think such
a committee w ill have any difficulty
in selecting an admirable man for its
chairman." Oen. Jones was selected
on the committee in 1882. When ask?
ed would he take the office If it were
urged upon him. Qen. Jones said he
only hoped he would not be placed
in such a position.
The name of Mr. Daniel L. Sinkler
of Charleston, a member of the execu?
tive committee, has been suggested in
connection with the chairmanship of
the committee, and when it was told
Gen. Jones Tuesday that such was the
case, he replied that he would he in
favor of Mr. Sinkler's election and he
thought he would make a good chair?
man.
Gen. Jones wns Tuesday sending out
letters to the members of the execu?
tive committee, calling them to the
meeting of the committee on April 10,
at 8 p. m.
In talking of his work on the com?
mittee. Gen. Jones Tuesday said:
"When I was made secretary of the
committee. 30 years ago. the commit?
tee was heavily In debt. That debt
was soon paid and the committee has
had no trouble since in meeting its
current obligations.
"I have called the committee to
meet on the 10th of April, for the
purpose of calling the State conven?
tion In Columbia on the 15th of May.
The Democratic clubs meet on the
27th of April and the county conven?
tions on the 6th of May. The State
convention is composed of members
double in number the representatives
In the legislature. The convention
will be held In the hall of the house
of representatives by special permis?
sion of the house in a resolution
adopted at the recent general assem?
bly. The convention will be called at
noon, May 15."
According to the rules of the party,
the Democratic clubs elect delegates
to the county conventions and the
county conventions elect delegates to
the State convention. The State con?
vention elects delegates to the na?
tional convention, to be held this year
In Baltimore.

THE HOOKWORM DISPENSARY.
Examinations Made Last Saturday
Show Fifty Per Font of Infection.?
Importance of Treatment.
There were ll'l applicants at tho
hookworm dispensary hero last Sat?
urday. The examination has been
completed with 41. Out of the 41 ex
amlned, 22 were found infected. Most
of thoee examined were from the
school. All the cases, with one or
two exceptions, represented more or
less a mild type of the disease. Here
are the reasons why the entire
school should be examined and treat?
ed if found infected:
1. A person infected, no matter
bow mild or lightly it may be, under
the present unsanitary conditions, is
a source of infection for another per?
son and may give rise to a severe
case. 1
2. Unless properly instructed one
already infected may add to his or
her present infection and the symp?
toms may become worse.
3. Practically every ,mild case of
hookworm disease keeps one's condi?
tion below normal and makes that
one more susceptible to other disease;
and a person infected with hookworm
stands less chance of recovering from
BORIS other contracted disease.
4 In many of these so-called light
cases of hookworm disease the growth
or development is affected.
5. Often derangements of the sys?
tem are seen in later life due to nog
|< ct of conditions in the growing boy
or girl.
H. In practically every case of
hookworm disease, no matter how
mild it may be, the physical condi?
tion is below normal or par, and
therefore those at school affected will
not get as much out of the school
training as there is in it for them.
The public should demand that
this disease be stamped out. It is not
a disgrace to have disease, but it is
certainly a disgrace to have a disease
and not try to get rid of It. Hook?
worm disease is a preventable dis?
ease, it should be eradicated for the
individual, the State and for human?
ity.
NEGRO SURRENDERS TO OF?
FICERS.
John Davis, Accused off Shooting Joe
Randolph. Gave Himself up to Jail,
er Owens Wednesday.
Wednesday morning John Davis,
one of the negroes accused of shoot
ting Joe Randolph near Brogdon on
Friday, the second of February,
came in and gave himself up to Jail?
er Owens.
Tt will be remembered that Ran?
dolph was taken to the Sumter Hos?
pital after the shooting where he died
from loss of blood several days later.
Tom Wilson, another negro accused
of taking part in the shooting, gave
himself up several weeks ago, but it
was stated then that he had fired on
the other negro only after Randolph
had first shot at him in his own house.
Davis has been in hiding ever since
the death of Randolph until Wed?
nesday morning.

tion, on Wednesday night. March

no other party here, of course.
Mayor X. D, Womble has announc?
ed his candidacy for re-election and
no other candidates for this position
have been announced as yet. It is
hardly probable that the present
mayor will be opposed. Clerk and
Treasurer R. J. Mayee, Sr.. will not
offer for re-election from Ward 3. and
neither will W. O. Thomas he a can?
didate from Wrard 4. In Ward 1. C.
B. Mayen will offer for re-election
and will he opposed by M. C. Mayes,
who was on the council for several
terms previous to the present ad?
ministration, and who served as clerk
and treasurer. In Ward 3. A. H.
Mayes Is a candidate for warden. lie
is one of the young, ent? rprising mer?
chants of tbe town and will make a
good run, although he will have no
opposition from present reports. In
Ward 2. R. C. Chandler will run
again and as yet will be unopposed.
In Ward 4, E. G. Spencer has an?
nounced his candidacy. He is as?
sistant cashier of the Rank of Mayes

served for several terms on previous

from this ward. too. Other aspirants
