For the best success one should
have a pasture with running water in
it for drinking and bathing purposes.
OF course. this is sometimes impossi-

pasture. Ii n truSts to carrying

n better the grass and the more
clover, the less other feed the hogs
will need to keep them growing. and
a hog that is not adding to his stature
daily is not paying for what he eats.
Shorts to Supplement the Pasture.
This pasture should be supple
mented by a daily ration Of corn and
some kind Of slops-milk is best
DishWater in which bran or shorts
has been mixed is good. About a
pint Of shorts for each 3-months-old
hog is about right.

Apple Growing in the Brushes.

A local contemporary has related
an interesting story telling Of the easy
life led by some Of the farmers IN
the Valley of Virginia who let their
apple orchards grow their wealth for
them. A persistent effort to boost
apple culture is being made by Cap
tain w. I. Rowland, a conductor on
the Atlantic. Tennessee and Ohio ralt-
road, who is interested in the posi-
bilities Of the Brushy mountain sec
ton of this State. There the apple
grows to perfection. a crop as SAFE
and as profitable as in the Valley OF
Virginia, which has a reputation as
the finest apple country in the world.
Captain Rowland has distributed con
siderable literature about the DosslOIIl-
ties of the Brushy mountain section.
Years ago" he says. 9Th early set
tiers in this region discovered its natl-
raj adaptation to fruit growing. For
this reason the people who have lived
on and own these mountains have
derived their living from raising viii
ter apples and other fruit. The early
settlers began to set their first clear
