Ridicule* Position of Latter and De?
fends Position of Farmer.
To the Press of The State: >
Some weeks ago there appeared in
the National Field, the weekly farm
I paper owned by National Farmers"
Fnion. a circular letter sent out by a
Dallas hardware firm urging their re
tall stores to demand of the farmers
that they sell cotton and pay their
. accounts, so that the retailers could
pay the wholesalers and so on. Pres?
ident Lewis of the Texas State Farm?
ers' Union answered this circular ef?
fectively when he said "Why is the
farmer picked out as the only one
w ho la to sell his wares at cost or be?
low to keep trade moving " It was
announced that a New York firm was
so much pleased with this circular
that they would send out ten thou?
sand copies in the east, of course,
without the answer of the Texas
Farmers' Union. A Charleston news?
paper published It and perhaps other
papers in the State also. From the
standpoint of the merchant it
sounds like good advice.
Taking up the campaign Mr.
Kanorr, a hardware salesman of Flor?
ence, I am informed, has published
several letters giving farmers "down
the country" for not selling their cot?
ton and paying their debts. One of
his pet sentences Is "Farmers, what
' would you do if notices were posted
saying?No goods sold after January
1st. 1915, except for cash?" He then
proceeds to read a good lecture of
about three-fourths of a column to
the farmers on the need to them of
being honest, etc. When I read his
first, letter, 1 was disposed to be pro?
voked at what appeared to be a part
of a conspiracy of the Texas hard?
ware house to force the farmers to
sacrifice cotton to maintain the cred?
it and standing of merchants. But
when Mr. Kanorr repeated and I saw
how seriously he took himself it be?
came amusing.
I wonder if he has considered what
would happen, if ihe merchants could
be persuaded to i ut up such a sign?
Well, in the first place they would
not live up to it thirty days. With
almost nothing being sold along about
the last week In January a farmer
would go to town and the merchant
that he usually bought goods from
would say "Mr. Blank, come in and
let me sell you something." "No, I
have no money." Well, that does not
apply to you, whenever you want any?
thing, come in and get it. We know
you are all right." The farmer would
say, "Well. I believe I do need a pair
of plow lines; it is rather trying to
plow with grapevines for plow lines."
And so the credit system would be in
full swing again for Mr. Blank would
be only one of the thousands of
farmers approached in the same way.
But just suppose for argument that
the merchants would live up to such a
plan. Business would be reduced
more than half. Nearly all the
bookkeepers would lose their jobs.
Halt the clerks would be dis?
charged. Mr. Kanorr would be one
of the salesmen to lose his job, or his
territory would be more than doubled
to take llM place of some other good
man who would have to seek other
employment. None of these men
could got work as carpenters or build?
ers, for these trades would be dis?
charging men. They could not get
work on the freight trains, for the
railroads would have to lay off that
part of the time. Owing to the scar?
city of traveling salesmen and other
passengers some passenger trains
would be discontinued. These clerks,
bookkeepers, salesmen, masons, car?
penters, etc., could not even get jobs
as section hands for fewer trains and
lighter ones would mean less repair
.to tracks and road bed and section
men would be laid off to still further
increase arrrty of the unemployed.
What could they do? Well. I am
afraid our friend. Mr. Kanorr. and his
friends would have to tiy taking up
some of the unimproved lands that
are such a source of annoyance to our
worthy commissioner of agriculture,
and the progressive boards of trade of
our cities, aided and abetted by the
editors of our metropolitan ( allies
who are clamoring fo- Belgian irin?
ers to show us natives how to farm.
Me thinks by the time our friend had
cleared a piece of land, grubbed,
stumped and urained it; built a mod?
est settlement, bought stock ami Im?
plements, seed and fertilizers, even if
he did not nse anything but ground
limestone and legumes to put his land
in shape for cotton and corn, that he
would want not 10 or || or 15 cents
for ids cotton, but 20 or II cents, and
he would tell his many advisers to
mind their own business, he would
sell when he hud a profit, or they
could take it from him by force.
If there were no credit production
wmid be mo restricted I hat In spite
of these accessions to the ranks of the
farmers every farm product would be

I re Mired t<> farm as we ought would
be ' In clo\er." What a tree! thing it

chants would only taUe Mr. Kanorr'*
advice. While the Bwarms of people
who would be thrown out of employ.
merit were wrestling with the prob?
lem of subduing nature to make some?
thing to live on and to sell out of the
soil, sometimes a most recalcitrant
and contrary soil. Great! Because it
would at one stroke of the pen eman?
cipate us from the burden of support?
ing so many people who profit by our
unbusiness-liko methods. Yes, It
would even be great for us after these
whom we now support became our
competitors, because with overhead
charges cut more than half, those
who remained in the mercantile bus?
iness would be able to give us a dol?
lar's worth of goods for a dollar, in?
stead of fifty cents worth 6f service as
is the case now. In the declaration
of purposes of the Farmers' Union, j
is "To abolish the credit and mortgage
system." I give you, Mr. Knorr, the
right hand of fellowship as the test
abolitionist of my acquaintance.
But let any class reformer intro?
duce a bill to make it a misdemeanor
for any merchant or salesman to nell
any article from newspaper subscrip?
tions to traction plows on credit and
our friends and advisers would head
the lobby to protest against any such
restrictive law. "It would ruin busi?
ness." "It is an infringement On per?
sonal liberty, the right to do busi?
ness according to the dictates of each
man's conscience, etc." And the bill
and its author would be snowed uncer
by the protests of the merchant*
whom it is intended to protect from
that most undesirable citizen, the de?
linquent subscriber and the farmer
who will not sell his cotton at any old
price to pay his debts.
That the credit system has been
profitable to the merchant is evi?
denced by the number of men in the
mercantile business and the number
who have bought lands. I venture
the assertion that for every farmor
who has bought land since 1865 two
men who in the trade or have a pro?
fession have bought land. Mclver
Williamson in a series of articles in
1912 in the Southern Cultivator
brought out this invasion of the farms
by merchants, doctors, lawyer*,
stablemen and railroad men as re?
sponsible for the bumper crop of cot?
ton in 1911. He protested the a
against this invasion of the farm as
soon as the farmers had put farm?
ing on a profitable basis. This art ids
is my feeble protest against the bene?
ficiaries of a system that has en?
riched the traders and impoverished
the producers undertaking to dictato
how the producers shall market their
crops.
While I was writing the above V
was called to the phone and offered
some goods payable next October.
Once long ago a clothing clerk said
"Let me sell you something on ac?
count." I asked why? His reply was
"Because when you open an account
you will bu> something every time
you come to town.'' Three or four
times in my life I have been refus?
ed credit for something that I need?
ed very much, but it was good for me,
and like many others can say "If I
had never bought anything except
what I could pay either in cash or
barter, I would be worth much more."
If Mr. Kanorr wants to reform the
merchants' way of doing business, I
wish him well, for it will help us
farmers to reform ourselves.

RAISE HOGS FOR PROFIT.
How Southern Farmers May Get a
Start in Pig Raising.
(Prepared in the Bureau of Animal
Industry.)
The Irishman calls his pig "the
gintleman that pays the rint." In
the corn belt of the United States
"mortgage lifters" was a nickname
given hogs almost as soon as settle?
ments began. In the South no less
true than in the Middle West hogs can
be made a source of meat supply fo.*
the home and of income as well. Years
of study and demonstration by State
and Federal agricultural authorities
have shown beyond all doubt that
hogs may be raised in the South with
results fully as profitable as else?
where.
Four things are necessary If the
Southern farmer wishes to get a stait.
1. A place to raise and fatten
pigs.
2. A pig worth raising and fat?
tening.
3. Feed on which to raise and fat?
ten them.
4. The necessary funds.
Let us consider these points In re?
verse order.
1. This article is written for the
man whose principal concern is te
supply food for his family. For such,
a man one or two sows will be enough.
Good grade sows can be bought for
110 or $15 each; razorbacks can be
bought for less and will produce good
pigs if bred to a good purebred boar.
If there is no purebred boar in the
neighborhood whose services can be
obtained, enough men should club to?
gether to represent the ownership of
20 to 25 sows and buy a good boar,
paying pro rata for the board, depend?
ing on the number oi sows owned by
each. Boars can be bought for from
$10 to $25 for weaned pigs and from
$50 to $100 for yearling and 2-year-old
hogs. If 20 men owning 20 sows
bought a yearling boar for $50, each
man would pay $2.50 toward the
price of the boar. Put the boar in
who hands of one of the members of
the club and let each other member
agree to pay him one pig at wean?
ing time for the care of the boar for
one year, for attending to the breed?
ing, etc. When sows come in heat,
they can be loaded on a wagon and
carried to the farm where the boar is
kept for service.
2. Sows farrow almost exactly
16 weeks after they are bred. When
the sows farrows try to be near at
hand. Do not worry her with at?
tention, but be there if she needs It.
Watch that the buzzards do not carry
off the little pigs or injure the sow.
Give her a warm thin slop as soon as
she begins to move around. Then
leave her alone for a while. That
evening give her a slop with a little
bran or corn meal in it. Feed lightly
for a few days and Increase her feed
gradually until the sow is getting
about 4 pounds of grain each day for
each 100 pounds of her weight. This
wi.ll be within a week or 10 days after
she has farrowed. She should be fed
morning and evening. Kitchen scraps
j and slops will be good for her and
will reduce the grain needed some?
what. These slops must not contain
any soap or glass.
As corn is the most available grain
in most sections of the South, it will
have to be relied on for feeding both
the sows and pigs. With the graz?
ing crops which are suggested for
hogs a fairly well-balanced ration
will be obtained.
When you are about ready to wean
he pigs reduce the sow's feed so
she will have only about 2 pounds of
grain each day for each 100 pounds
of her weight. Keep her on a Ber?
muda pasture and let her have this
ration until she is in good condition.
Keep sows in good flesh, but not exces?
sively fat.
Sows can be made to produce two
litters each year. When this is de?
sired they should be bred at the first
period of heat after the pigs are wean?
ed. Sows bred twice each year will
not produce so many prgs in each lit?
ter as when bred only once a year, but
more pigs should be raised in a year
from each sow.
It does not pay to try to raise hogs
on grain alone. In fact, the profit in
pig raising, especially in the South,
depends directly on the amount of
pasture of some kind used to enable
the pig to make its gain in weight. Of
the. southern forage crops peanuts,
soy beans, rape, and cowpeas are es?
pecially valuable. Now, these are
not available all through the year.
therefore we use a series of crops.
Fo- example, have some winter oats
on which the sows can be turned as
soon as the pigs are a week or two old.
When these are gone put the pigs on
good Bermuda and lespedeza pasture.
Ha' e a crop of soy beans or cowpeas
eondng ami turn the pigs on this after
weaning, keeping the sows on the Ber?
muda. When these are gone put tin
pigs in a peanut patch, and finish fat?
tening them on rape.
The pigs should he weaned al 10
to 12 weeks of age and should then
weigh shout 80 pounds. They should
have learned to eat a little grain by
going In the sow's trough. Then bo
,in to feed them. Give them ever}
day grain equal to 2 per cent, of their
weight. A pig weighing 30 pounds
should have 0.6 pound of grain; 10
pigs of this weight, 6 pounds, etc. Di?
vide this into two feeds, morning and
evening. This amount of grain will
make them grow nicely on good
pasture. As they grow, increase the
amount of grain. When they weigh
about 125 pounds give them 3 per
cent, of their weight in grain, and
when they weigh about 150 pounds
each give them 4 per cent, and finish
them off, slaughtering In the winter
on a cool day. Pigs properly fed
should weigh 200 pounds at 9 months
old. Do not feed cottonseed meal to
hogs.
It is not necessary to spend a lot of
money to carry out such a plan. Of
course, the Bermuda pasture where
the sows are turned should have a
good fence. The crops on which the
pigs are grazed can be fenced with
home-made hurdles of lumber or wov?
en wire, which may be moved as de?
sired, and the pigs will stay in it while
the pasture is good. Ten pigs can be
kept on half an acre of one of the
crops mentioned above from four to
eight weeks, depending on their size.
3. A poor pig is not worth raising
or feeding. Your pigs should be sired
by a good purebred Duroc-Jersey,
Berkshire, or Poland-China boar. Af?
ter you have decided which of the
three you wan, stick to same breed
and in a little while you will have
pigs which are very much alike, a
model for others, and an advertise?
ment for your community. If you can
afford it, start with good grade sows.
If not, natives (razorbacks) will do.
White pigs should not be used in the
South, as they sunburn badly.
4. Expensive houses are not nec?
essary for hogs in the South. Give
the sow a dry place to farrow, a pen
well bedded and sheltered from cold
winds and storms, and both she and
the pigs will do well. Little pigs that
get chilled or wet soon after birth of?
ten die or grow into "runts." If there
is no suitable place around the farm
for the sow, make a lean-to with
poles, about 10 by 12 feet, 6 feet high
in front and 4 feet high behind, fac?
ing it to the south, and thatch It with
straw, cheap hay, or even cornstalks,
and the litter will be well housed.
Make the thatch roof higher in the
middle than at the sides and smooth
it down so that rain will run off.
Pigs should have shade in the pas?
ture, either trees or artificial shelter,
and plenty of water.
Sanitary Suggestions.
No one should attempt to raise hogs
unless he is willing to give them
good feed, good care, and protect them
In every way possible from disease.
Worms, hog cholera, lice, and canker
sore mouth kill large numbers of hogs
throughout the South, especially lit?
tle pigs.
To prevent worms, keep the follow?
ing charcoal mixture before the pigs
all the time:
Charcoal, 1 bushel.
Hardwood ashes, 1 bushel.
Salt, 8 pounds.
Air-slaked lime, 8 pounds.
Sulphur, 4 pounds.
Pulverized copperas, 2 pounds.
First mix the lime, salt, and sul?
phur thoroughly, and then mix in the
charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the cop?
peras in 2 quarts ol hot water and
sprinkle it over the whole mass, mix?
ing thoroughly. Store this in a bar?
rel under shelter, and keep some of
it in an open shallow box where the
hogs can get it as they wish.
Hogs will not have cholera unless
it is brought to fhe farm in some way
from hogs which are sick. There?
fore try to keep buzzards and other
oirds away from your hogs. Do not
visit a farm where hogs are sick or
allow the owner of sick hogs to visit
yours. Do not keep your hogs near a
stream that runs through a farm
where there are sick hogs before it
gets to yours. Hog cholera may be
prevented by proper inoculation. See
your county demonstration agent
about this.
Watch the hogs, especially the lit?
tle pigs, to see whether they a:e lousy.
If so, get some disinfectant and wash
the pigs with it, or rub on a mix?
ture of lard and turpentine or lard
and kerosene, two parts of lard to
one of turpentine or kerosene. Tie a
gunny sack around a post where the
hogs can rub it, and keep it well
soaked with crude oil. If the hogs
have a wallowing hole, pour a little
crude oil or kerosene on the water.
To prevent canker sore mouth, keep
the pens clean and well bedded with
fresh, clean straw. Get a pair of bone
forceps from the drug store (they
will cost 75 cents to $n, and the day
after the little pigs are born clip off
the little tusks on the sides of their
mouths even with the gums. Do not
injure the gums when doing this, and
do not pull the tusks out.
Remember that an ounce of preven
tlon is worth a pound of cure. Watch
to ke?>p disease and vermin away from
your hogs. If they get sick in spite I
>t* all you can do, get in touch with
tho county demonstration agent with?
out delay. If there Is no agent in
your eounly. write to your State ag?
ricultural college for help.
Profil in Raising Pigs,
Two sows should raise f> pigs eaoh,
giving the farmer 10 pigs to slaugh?
ter. These pigs should weigh, when
slaughtered, 200 pounds each, mak?
ing 2,000 pounds of live weight. This
costs about 3 1-2 certs per pound to
make in the South under the sys?
tem described above, which is an orig?
inal cost of $70. Killing will cost not
over $6. The loss in dressing is about
?'10 per cent, of the live weight, or 500
pounds on 10 pigs, so that 1,400
pounds of dressed pork is on hand af?
ter slaughtering. If you can get a lo?
cal ice plant to chill and cure the
meat for you, the manager should
charge not over 4 cents per pound,
which is $56. The meat loses weight
in curing, amounting to about 1 cent
per pound, or $14. The total cost of
the meat is about as follows:
Raising 2.000 pounds, at 3 1-2
cents per pound .?.$70
Killing. g
Curing 1,400 pounds, at 4 cts.
per pound.56
Shrinkage on 1,400 pounds, at
1 cent per pound.14
Total._$14<>
You have 1,400 pounds of cured
meat on haivi which has cost you only
a fraction over 10 cents per pound,
the surplus of which you can easily
sell for 20 cents per pound. Under
the circumstances, can you afford to
pay 20 cents per pound or more for
side meat and ham Does it not pay
to raise your own pork?
In these suggestions an outline for
pie raising is submitted which will re?
quire the farmer to spend as little
money as possible. The grain and the
pasture are raised on the farm. He
can kill the hogs and cure the meat
himself, and therefore the only direct
money outlay required after the hogs
are bought is for seed and imple?
ments for cultivation and killing, and
possibly a small amount needed for
fencing.
For those who desire more infor?
mation on hog raising it is suggested
that they write to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for
the following Farmers* Bulletins:

DILLON CHURCH BURNED.
Dillon, Jan. 6.?The Dillon Meth?
odist church, erected at a cost of
$40,000, was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning. The fire was dis?
covered at 1.15 a. m., and rapidly con?
sumed the large building. It originated
in the region of the pastor's study,
although its exact origin can not be
ascertained. The building is insured
in the sum of $7,000. An applica?
tion was forwarded yesterday for $14,
000 additional insurance.
The Rev. A. J. Cauthen Is pastor
of the church.
The parsonage on a lot next to the
church was saved.
The church was very large and was
modern in every particular. It was
completed last spring after 3 years'
hard work by the members. It rep?
resents an outlay of approximately
$40,000, all of which has not been
paid. Much money was borrowed to
build it and notes are maturing over
a period of years. The edifice con?
tained a pipe organ valued at $3,C00.
The fire department, although at
once on the scene, was practically
helpless as only two streams could be
directed on the flames.
WORK OF MISCREANT.
Florence, Jan. 6.?Some miscreant
put a lighted match into one of the
city mail boxes Monday between 7
a. m., and 5 p. m., and the lot of mall
in the box was burned almost beyond
recognition. Among the letters were
a number of donations to charity,
some to Thornwell orphanage and
some to the Jenkins orphanage in
Charleston and one merchant on Dar
gan street, whose place of business
was near the mail box, had two letters
containing checks for $100 each
burned.
A shooting scrape occurred on
South Main street Wednesday op?
posite the Curtis block. A negro
woman named Agnes Wilson shot at
her husband, whom, she stated, had
been paying attention to another wo?
man.
