daughter in Florida for the past three
years. He was native of Abbeville
county and moved to Ocones in the sew
enties and settled near Westminster,
where he engaged in farming and teach
ing school. Mr.. Hunter was a. well-in-
formed man, having the advantages of a
good education. He was noble citi-
zen, true and loyal to his friends. For a
considerable number of years he was q
member and an elder of the Retreat

ing in Oconee are are S. D., s. l.. and

federate soldier, serving under Gen.

the Confederate States Army and Presi-
dent of the Mississippi Historical So
ciety. The following is from the pen of
Gen. Lee in reference to Mr.. Hunters
record az soldier: II would make men,
tion that Capt. Samuel Hunter, of Oco-
nee county, South Carolina, was most
gallant a,ui true Confederate soldier.
He was among the first 70 volunteer
from Abbeville county and served in the
10th South Carolina regiment for two
years. During these years he was with
his regiment at Corinth, Miss, and at
Farmington aud was engaged in the bat
ties of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and
Missionary Ridge. Early in the year
1868 he was assigned as aid de camp on
my staff in the army of Tennessee. This
position he most ably and gallantly filled
for two years or to the close of the war in
1855. He was splendid staff officer
and while commanded corps around
Atlanta and in the campaign made by
Gen. Hood in Tennessee in the fall and
winter of 1854 he greatly distinguished
himself both in camp aud on the field by
the able and efficient manner in which
he performed every duty. In the battle
of Franklin, especially in the terrific ar
tillery, and at Columbia, Tenn, and in
the battles around Nashville he was
highly distinguished for his intrepidity
and gallant conduct on the battlefield"

In one of Its bulletins the Arkan-

to keep accessible to hogs some
material that supplies lime and salt
to aid in BODYBUILDING. as an appe-
tizer. and to remove intestinal para
sites This mixture should be kept
in a strong box protected from rain,
and the quantity and frequency with
which pigs will visit and eat OF the
mixture will often be surprising. The
following is the mixture that was
used: Charcoal. one and ons-hals
bushels; common salt. four pounds;
hard wood ashes, ten pounds;
Stacked lime. four pounds; fresh
water. shade in summer. grain food
when on grass. and dry bed free
from dust; shelter in winter. and
when confined an area sufficiently
large so that 1t will not become foul
with droppings and mud bugs. These
are essentials for successful hog
raising.

Ground the Whole Corn.

At the Wisconsin station expert.
ments were held to determine the
comparative value OF whole and
ground corn for fattening pigs. On
an average los pigs required SIG
pounds Of feed per pound of gain
on ration of dry shelled corn and
middllngs, as compared with AS
pounds required by an eqcal number
on a ration OF corn meal and mid
dlings. In other words. there was
"a saving Of thirty-six pounds Of
feed for each 100 pounds OF gain
made by the hogs. This shows
gain by grinding the corn to meal
Of 80 per cent, or. say, seven per
cent. in round numbers. While the
direct advantage from grinding corn
to meal was about seven per cent,
in these experiments there was
second advantage secured in that
the hogs getting corn meal made
more rapid gains than those fed
shelled corn"

While coal ashes contain no fer
tilizing value they are certainly use
full on the farm aud should be saved.
They are not entirely valueless in
the soil, for they will materially $
sist in making a stiff clay soil more
workable If well mixed with it. The
best use for coal ashes, however. is
in the filling in of wet spots, sitting
them and using the fine ashes in the
dust boxes in the poultry houses and
the coarser portions for the making
of walks alone or mixed with gravel
They may be used to advantage as
a mulch around trees mainly for the
purpose of keeping the soil moist
and keeping the gras from growing
around them.
