The old sour swill barrel that ia
found at many farmers back doors Is
the direct cause OF more pigs being OF
their feed than any one thing con-
nected with Feeding growing pigs. Re-
member that the hog Is an animal
with a very small stomach and con-
sumes a great amount of food in a
short time Therefore II he gives
the greatest possible returns he must
have something to assist his digestive
organs. For this purpose have
found salt and charcoal the best thing
that can be used, Put II where 1t Will
keep dry and where the pigs may have
access to II at all times. Provide
plenty OF trough room and plan II so
that the pigs can eat without getting
In all over. Keep the pigs troughs
sweet and clean and do not allow any
old food to remain In them after the
pigs have finished their regular meals
Give good dry nests. dry houses
clean and sanitary surroundings. for
pigs that sleep In wet nests and are
allowed TO get covered with lice and
other vermin will not thrive.
The old saying that farm live stock
is what we make 1t, is perhaps more
true when applied to the pig than any
of the other farm animals. He will
stand more abuse and neglect and yei
respond TO kind treatment faster than
any other farm animal.

About half an hour before sunset

birds suddenly rose aud started north,
making a vast cloud as they neared

THE Usage ORANGE HEDGE.
Farmers Are Advised to Either Spray
or Destroy Il.

T. d. Symons, State Entomologist.
sends us the following.
Now that the busy season for
spraying fruit trees for the San Jose
scale is about at an end for this
Spring, the spray nozzle or the axe
should be directed toward the Usage
orange hedge. The writer has not ex-
amined an Usage orange hedge in this
State that was not infested with the
San Jose scale. It is therefore neces-
sary to spray the hedge If II is desired
to keep 1t on the farm as regularly as
the fruit trees for this pest. In many
districts you will find fruit growers
treating their trees for this pest while
they themselves or their nearby neigh
bors, who may not be directly inter-
ested In fruit, keep ean Osage orange
hedge around the farm which is not
being treated and which stands as a
menace to the vicinity in harboring
tie scale This is manifestly unfair,
and every person who maintains an
Usage orange hedge on his premises
should consider 1t as duty to HIMSELF
and his neighboTg to spray the hedge
or destroy it, The writer believes the
Osage orange hedge to be dear fence
under any circumstances, for 1t is a
fence and not a fence; costly to keep
in shape and draws fertility of soil for
some distance on each side,
@The law condemning inSessations
OF scale will be enforced in every case
OF infested hedge as far as our limit
ed funds will permit. But we ask the
cooperation Of every farmer In the
county to aid in abolishing this nui-
sance of our State believing that the
sooner the Usage orange hedge is got
ten rid of the better, both for the farm
as we'll as the farmers pocketbook.
Especially is this true In localities
where fruit trees are grown and where
every effort is being made to control
the ravages Of the San Jose scale"

COMING OF THE AIRsHIP.
The ChaufTer VIII Soon Give Way to
the Sky Pilot.

1t is entirely probable, II not in
deed, certain, that within genera
tion the problem of aerial naviga-
ton will be solved, and when 1t Is
solved the present attempts Ia this
direction will look ridiculous, as well
as crude.
Aeroplanes will do for experiments
and dirigible balloons will do for
make believes, but the real "alrship"
will be built along as practical and
common sense lines as ocean-going
vessels and railway trains, lighter
and more artistic and more tractable
because of the nature of the element
through which they Will move.
The condition precedent TO launch
ing the airship Is the cancellation OF
the attraction OF gravitaiion without
the use of gas, or forcibie projection
at an angle into space That II can
be cancelled or overcome IS quite as

NOW THE SOUTH Seeded.
History Of an Important Event In the
Nations Life.


From the very beginning Of the
presidential campaign OF 1860 there
seemed to be little or no doubt but
that Lincoln and Hamlin would be
elected. and this gave the people all
over the South much concern. SO
much 50 that the best men OF the
South at once began to consult as to
what measures should be adopted--in
the event that president so decidedly
opposed In principle to the vital In
terest Of the South should assume
charge OF the AFFAIRS of state.
The election took place November
Q, 1860. AS was expected, Lincoln
and Hamlin we're elected by large
majority.
In seventeen of the free States
Maine. New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island. Connecticut Yer
mont. New SS..k. Pennsylvania, Ohio
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, California, and
Oregon--all the Lincoln electors were
chosen. in one of the free States
New Jersey the choice resulted in
four electors for Lincoln, and three
for Douglas.
The will Of the people as expressed
In this popular vote was In due time
carried into execution. AS the law
prescribes, the presidential electors
met in their several states on the 9th
Of December. and cast their official
votes. And ON the 18th OF February
1861, the Congress of the United
States, In joint session, made the Of.
fetal count, and declared that Abra-
ham Lincoln. having received ma.
jority OF the votes Of presidential cleo,

THE DUTIES OF GOOD CITIZEN
SHIP.

Under our form Of government the
individual citizen is part OF the
governing power, and as such he ex-
ercises the privilege of the suffrage
The good of the nation, the state and
the county will depend upon how in
telligently and conscientlously he uses
the privilege. We must remember
that the exercise Of the elective fran
chise is a privilege and not a right
1t is a mistaken notion that voting Ia
an inherent right OF the American citi-
zen. For example, women are citi-
zens and some of them large taxpay-
ers, and yet under our laws they can
not vote. The elective franchise is
regulated by law, and age and general
qualifications enter into this regula-
tion. A person who is 20 years. II
months and 20 days old cannot vote
because the law requires that voter
shall be 2l years Of age. He is a citi-
zen. but he neither has the right nor
the privilege Of voting. Those whom
the state has deemed worthy to ex-
ercise the privilege of voting ought
to highly appreciate 1t. Good citizen
ship requires that every person entl-
tied to vote should at every election
cast his ballot
Then, in the matter OF holding Of
lo IL
the part OF men TO desire to hold Of
fee. A public official is public SER
want, and there is no way in which
a man can show his true patriotism
better than by faithfully and honestly
serving the people, in such positions
of trust as they may see AZ to place
him. It is responsible thing TO hold
public office, and men should always
feel qualified for Office before seeking
it.
We are approaching the time when
candidates for state and county Of
fees must be selected THE ADvo-
CATE never champions the candidacy
Of any particular individual for a
nomination, but It does counsel the
selection OF the best men for the var-
Gus offices and pledges them its earn
est support afteg the nominations are
made. This county viii elect the
Democratic candidates. and 1t be-
hooyes the party TO put its best men
in the field. And II behooves also
good Democrats OF the county, who
are desired to go upon the ticket. 10
give their consent The party is some
times prevented from placing men
upon the ticket, that the people would
like to vote for. because they will not
give their consent, This ought not
TO be. A good Democrat who is de-
sired by his party ought to have party
loyalty enough TO consent 10 serve.
We are approaching a very important
election, and the party in this county
must be in the best possible shape for
It. This county does not usually give
large majorities, but II is regarded in
the state as one OF the surest Demo-
ratio counties The character OF the
financial management of this county.
and indeed every other department Of
our county government, which has
continued for more than forty years,
shows that our intelligent voters ap-
preciate the efforts OF the Democratic
party to serve the interests of the
people OF the county.

states, whom the bearer, General s. r.

OF October. Governor Gist wrote that,
In view Of the almost certain election
OF Lincoln, II became important to
have a full and free interchange of
opinion between the Southern states,
that concert OF action might be OBJ
tanned. 1t was the desire of South
Carolina that some other state should
take the lead.
Answers were received from Cow
ernor Ellis, OF North Carolina; Gov
ernor Moore. Of Alabama; Governor
Pettus, OF Mississippi; Governor
Moore, of Louisiana; Governor Brown,
OF Georgia, and Governor Perry, OF
Florida. Nearly all expressed, with
out equlvocation, the opinion that
their state would join South Carolina
In any move looking to the vindica-
tion and maintenance Of the rights,
interests, honor and safety OF the
South"
