Look After the pigs

Now, before severe weather sets in
is the time to push your pigs. The same
food will make more flesh in warm
than in cold weather. The average
tenant or small farmer has not count
ed the value of fat hog for his family
A good hog, ten to twelve months old
can be grown upon the Stops of any
family. Many families could feed two
or three and never miss what they eat
THIS hog should now wewigh 25t
pounds or more. Such a hog is worth
more than thirty dollars to the family
If you have not provided for this
fall now is the time to look out fol
next fall Get few pigs and try the
experiment.
Almost any of the improved breeds
will do. The Yorkshires are being es-
peeially recommended for this purpose
They are perhaps worthy good trial
They make more meat and less lard.
Keep a pig or a few pigs, but be sure
TO keep a clean pig-pen. 1t is easily
done when once you fix for it. Have a
coed, tight floor and slant it SO that al
the dorppings will be easily collected
and carried to the farm or garden

ed with this new pest, nor are we anx-

But we feel deep interest in the

For these reasons we ventura to sug-

this weevil or he may destroy the cot
ton industry of the south. and the great
pend upon our cotton.
Would it not be better for the farm
ers who live in the infected districts
to quit planting cotton for few years.
This would be a great sacrifice to them.
But it would be one that would be JUS
titled in view of the calmity that
threatens them, and through them the
cOlIOn producers ana manufacturers OF
the American cotton crop.
They can not hope to make profit
raising cotton while the weevil is pres
ent. Would it not then be to their in
terest in the end to starve them out at
once
Say take ten years, would not the
farmer be better off at the end of the
ten years if he should plant no cotton
for three or four years, and then plant
without danger from the weeyil.
We are glad to see the United States
government proposes to take a vigorous
hand in the fight. We hope it success.
But we think it would be wiser to
wage a war of determination upon the
weeyil than to spend large sums hunt
ing for resistent varieties. These will
come along anyhow, if there are any
to be found.
This 100000 might even be used as a
premium in some way to induce unity
of action on the part of all the farmers
who live in the infected district

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to

Yours very truly. w. NJ. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
saws he has not had occasion to use Pc
ruua for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Peruna to promptly
cure colds he protects his family against
other ailments. This is exactly what
every other family in the United States
should do. Keep Peruna in the house.
Use it for coughs. colds, Ia grippe, and
other climatic affections Of winter, and
there will be no other ailments in the
