I Caref i^reedlag and Mauage!* xnent Spell Success. Clemson Collage.?With hog prices at an unprecedented level, a shortage of hogs In the European countries, and prospects for a large export trade . with the Central powers upon the declaration of peace, the production of hogs should be one of the most important enterprises of the farm in N 1918, especially in the South with its natural advantages for growing forage. which is one of the most important factors for economic pork production. The first period in the feeding and management of a litter of pigs begins when the sow becomes pregnant and ends when she farrows. The second period begins with the birth of the pigs and continues until the nit reach .maturity or are marketed. By this time most of the spring pigs hare been farrowed, and the problem now is to push them rapidly and economIcally for the market. If the pregnant sow's ration has supplied sufficient protein for bone and muscle building In the pigs and she has been kept In good physical condition through exercise, the product should bo a strong, healthy litter that will make rapid and cheap gains. For the first few weeks, when the pigs will be nourished entirely by the sow, her ration should be sufficient to furnish an abundant flow of milk. However, if she is overfed, causing a heavy flow of milk, the pigs are likely to have scours. If this occurs, the feed of the sow should be reduced immediately, and she should be fed 15 to 20 grains of copperas in her slop morning, and night until scouring ceases. The ration for a sow suckling pigs is about 4 per cent of her live weight, when not on pasture. But for the best results the sow and pigs should be on pasture. When on a non-leguminous pasture such as rape, f rye, and Bermuda grass, the sow should have a grain ration equivalent to 2 per cent of her live weight. On Alfalfa, red clover, and other legumes, the grain ration need not he over 2 htt. mm ui nor nve weigni. tne bow's grain ration should be well balanced. Several balanced rations are given later in this article. The young pigs will begin to eat at I to 4 weeks of age. If the litter is small and the sow is on paBtyre and has a liberal 'grain ration, the pigs will need little additional feed. If the litter is large and the mother a light milker, the pigs should be given a slop of akim-milk and wheat shorts in a creep not accessible to the mother. If milk Is not available, the shorts may be made Into a thin slop witli water. At 7 or 8 weeks of age, corn may be snbstlttued for one-balf the aborts. The age of weaning depends upon whether or not two litters are to ho raised per year. In no case should pigs be weaned under 8 weeks of age; 10 or 12 weeks is better. At weaning time the feed of the bow is reduced to slack the milk flow, and the rations of the pigs sholud he increased so that there will be little Interruption In * the growth of the p'gs. The weaning should be abruptly, and under no circumstances should the sow be returned to the pigs. The most critical time in a pig's life is pnst when he ts weaned and is eating well. The feeding from then on is a matter of making the best ration from the available feed. For the cheapest gains pigs should be on pasture at all times. Home pastures for summer grating are alfalfa, ciuvri, tuwi^in, Buy ncmus, puunuiB, Bermuda grass, rape and velvet beana. However, pastures should not he relied upon to make pork alone. The most rapid and cheapest gains are produced by supplementing the pastures with a grain ration. The amount of grain to feed when hogs are on pasture is approximately 3 per cent of their live weight. The following grain mixtures are recommended: Corn 10 parts, tankage 1 part; corn and middling equal parts; com 0 parts, soybean meal 1 part; or com 2 parts, velvet bean meal 1 part. With leguminous pasture, such as alfalfa, clover, cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, te., com alone may compose the grain ration. Tliere are other, factors affecting the physical condition of the animal that cxart considerable influence upon the rate and economy of gains. There should be clean drinking water and , a pool where they may wallow. The hog has a very high body temperature and requires considerable water and shade to keep cool. Hogs cannot make nnM ralna nnloac fr?n frnm lira T.lrn may be controlled by the use of crude petroleum rubbed on the hope or by dipping with any of the coal-tnr dips Hogs should have access at all tlmen to mineral roughage, which la a general tonic and appet'zcr. The following mineral* roughage la recommended: Charcoal or slack coal t bu. Wood ashes 1 bu. Air slacked lime: 8 lbs. 43alt 8 lbs. Copperas 2 lbs. The copperas fs dissolved in warm water and poured over the entire mixed mass. H Somethimg else Is the matter H gj with thena. Probably It's R "worms". S 1 DR.

Krause, in a bulletin of the John Hopkins Hospital, calls attention to the fact that such a condition of the lungs would be likely to excite to activity latent tubercles which might be present in the lungs. Since practically every adult person has either latent or active tubercular infection of the lungs,, the importance of this , question becomes at once apparent. '1 hese observations agree with the statistical fact that while tuberculosis is more frequent in girls than in boys, a preponderance in males appears aftcr adolescence, and becomes rapidly pi cater until in men of middle age the death rate from tuberculosis is aouuie mui.oi women 01 ine same age period. Tuberculosis is increasing in men throughout the United States, hut is diminishing in women. The increased death-rate among men runs parallel with the increasing consumption of tobacco.?Dr. J. II.

TWO BIG TRUCKS FOR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY Special to The Advertiser: Columbia, May 24.?The State Highway Commission has been notified by the Federal Bureau of Koads that 79 of the 296 motor trucks which were to be turned over to the Commission are ready for shipment. The State Highway Commission has instructed the Bureau of Public Koads to have two 3-ton Gramm-Bernstein trucks shipped from Atlanta to Chesterfield. The trucks will be turned over to the road authorities of Chesterfield county for use in maintaing or constructing roads built in whole :_ * :il L' ..1 i A :a or in pun wan r imhthi aiu. Counties which have made no provision to use Federal Aid in constructing roads or bridges cannot under the Federal law share in the distribution of trucks from the Federul Bureau of I'ublic Roads. These .rucks are part of the surplus war equipment built by Uncle Sam for use in whipping the Huns. An act of the last Congress instructed the secretary of War to turn over to the Secretary of Agriculture for distritution to the State Highway Commission*, through the Federal Bureau of Fublic Roads, all surplus war equipment, inluding trucks. It is expected that South Carolina will get a good deal more road building equipment and supplies besides the 200 '.rucks which have been given to it.

Just now we should like to olFer a little "Success Talk for Farm Parents." Every farm mother or father should seriously ask himself or herself: "What is really to determine the value of my life on this earth? What is the proper test or Kuage to determine whether or not I am really niUKini; a success of life?" It .l....o ?..t ... U.,... av uuvo uui. uiavwvi au mutli liuw much land you die possessed of; nor flow many cattle or horses or buldmgs. Your best contribution to the world will consist of properly trained, properly encouraged, properly inspired, properly taught, boys and girls. You may make all the money in the wond and yet be worse than a failure if the children to whom you leave money are of a sort to use it unworthily. On the other hand, you may leave no property at all, and yet die hav ing made your life a great success if you give the world one or more L?oys and girls of high character, good sense, and a deterinnalion to make the most of all their powers of body, mind and soul. "The farm's best crop is the crop of boys and girls" is a true saying; let no thought of land or livestock cause you to neglect this greatest of ail crops, tiive your boys and girls not only the best schooling you can provide, but look constantly after their development in other ways. Provide as far as your means will permit plenty of good books und papers and good musical instruments. Enlist both boys and girls in agricultural club work. Teach them habits of industry both physicul and mental, and yet give them time for recreation and amusement and for wholesome comradeship with other boys and girls. Take pains to train out any unworthy trait or habit just as soon as it appears. Govern as far as possible by love rather than force, and by example more largely than by precept. Town fathers, usually compelled to be away from their children all day long, have no such opportunity for training the children as farm fathers have; but mere opportunities amount to nothing unless they arc utilized, and far too many farm par ents make no use of these superior opportunities for child-training which country life offers. And thus endeth our first "Success Talk for Parents."?The Progresssivc Farmer.

Roil selection, preparation, fertiliz Ing, careful fitting an?l planting. and cultivating are the essentials of sue cess in the growing of a crop u? sweet potatoes. Soil: The sweet potato adapts It 3elf to a great diversity of soils, bu*. it delights in ahd thrives best on t well drained sandy or clay loahi underlaid with a clay subsoil. But re gardless of the apparent Ideal physi cal condition of the soil, this croj must he rotated each year. Sweet potatoes may follow corn, cotton small grain, and leguminous covet crops, and may he easily and effect ively worked into any well balanced three-year rotation system. Preparation of Soil: The soil maj he thoroughly and deeply prepared bj turning twice to a depth of 6 to ! inches, followed by cross discing Crooked and irregularly formed root? result from shallow preparation of th? soil. Therefore, iloep and thorough preparation is very essential in thf growing of marketable potatoes. Fertilizers: Roth barnyard manure end commercial fertilizers are recom mended, but the former must be judi ciously used. Hecause of present shortage of potash the element of plan' food most needed in excess in potutr production, liberal applications o< barnyard manure will be found to be very effective in helping to reduce thi< shortage and to correct the phvsica condition of the soil. The fertility and physical condition of the soi should determine the amount of th< applications. Ordinarily, both coin mercinl fertilizers and barnyard mn nitres are applied in the drill wlier the soil is being fitted for setting flu plants, and. later, as a side dresser. Fitting the Soil and Setting th< Plants: Preparatory to setting tlx plants lay off rows 3'/6 to 4 fed aparl and apply the barnyard manure (8 t/ 10 tons per acre) or commercial for tillzcr made of two-thirds 16"l ad< phosphate and one-third cotton-seci meal applied in the drill at the rati of 400 to 600 pounds per acre, am thoroughly mix with the soil. Thi planting beds of medium height, de pending upon drainage, should In thrown up ami dragged down. Tin plants or vine-cuttings .should he so 14 to 18 inches apart. The period fo setting tha plants is from May 1 t< July 15th. To correct the packed con <1 it ion of the soil bronchi ;?hoii through the transplant ing process the water furrows should he harrowei or otherwise shallow cultivated im mediately following the setting of t.h< plants.

I'nrti Rico, and Triumph are thi leading am most popular varieties growvi in thi? State. Triumph is one of the earliesi varieties, anil should he planted wher potatoes are grown for early market. Cultivation: Frequent and shal low cultivation should he practice! until the vines have covered tin ground, dnrlng which period tin greatest of care must he exet ised ii the turning the vines.
