Hog Raising in the South.
(Greenville NewS.)

NN''>>h' INV tNS"S'
Hog raising is one Of the most
profitable lines Of animal huSbandry
in the South if wisely managed, and
one Of the most Improbable If con-
if the hogs are raised without care
and fed without knowledge or iudg-
ment.
Two methods Of hog raising arc
common in the Southern States, both
equally objectionable:
When managed by the first meth
cd the hogs are allowed free range
in woods and swamps, fenced or un-
fenced; subsist on grass, roots
a orns and grubs; bred indiscrimi
nately, and the survivors are
slaughtered at two or three years Of
age, weighing net from 50 to l25
pounds. Such animals furnish in
ferior hams and shoulders. provide
scarcely any lard, and do not make
compensating return for the use
Of the land. The owners are liable
to heavy loss from diseases, storms.
and other causes, and the product
does not meet the requirements Of
the general market.
The second plan is to keep the
hogs in small lots and feed corn main
~. This has been proven unprotit-
able with corn at the average price
;,, lg fnI yJ,, Avn
fcvcred condition, are restless, and
are generally found roofing in the
| fresh earth.
The cost of raising hogs when fed
on corn alone is generally estimated
at cents a pound, live weight,
when corn is worth 80 cents buShcl,
and Z cents a pound when corn is
worth 20 cents bushel; that is,
a bushcl Of corn will usually make
| 10 pounds Of gain, live weight, when
carefully fed to thrifty hogs. This
agrees with the results at expert
mcnt stations. But corn is not us
ually fed with care. and when raised
on corn, alone hogs are seldom very
thrifty; consequently the cost will
average much greater than this. In
| vcStigationS show that pounds OF
| gain to the buShcl Of corn is near
| cr the result when corn is fed on
The cob without other food. This
| would place the cost Of live gain al
10 cents a pound with 70-ccnt corn
The best way 10 make hog raising
profitable in the South is 10 graZt
the hogs upon pastures prepared
for them, Drlemcntng the greer
food by the addition Of a small graiI
ration. Upon this plan hogs car
be raised at an average Of | Y
TO , cents 4 pound, depending main
ly urOn the management OF tht
hogs and pigs and upon an economic
plan Of fattcning.

MURDER MOST FOUL FOR GAIN.
A Crime that Would Shame u Eiend.
Orphan Boy Done to Death.

Wilmington, \. c., Aug. 10.--The
supposed murder Of a youth to Sc
cure $4,000 insurance on his life,
the cutting Of the Rock Spring
Hotel, a combination hotel and
lodging house on the wharf, the ar
rest or J. G. Holly, about 40 years
old, proprietor of the house, erst-
while preacher Of the Sanctilicalion
faith, constituted the sensational
features of a tragic fire which oc-
CURED in this city early this morn
ing. when arrested, and after be-
ing warned that he need not make
any statement that would incrimi-
nate himself, the defendant stated to
the justice who issued the warrant,
in the presence Of several persons,
that nobody but he and the boy and
his God knew the circumstances sir-
rounding the death Of the youth.
Signs of Crime.
The seriously burned body OF the
youth, Edward Cromwell, 10 years
old, who is said to have come here
four months ago from an orphan
home in Charleston, and was cook at
the hotel, was found lying on the
floor Of his room, in his night clothes,
nearly an hour after the fire was dis
covered.
Capt. w. p. Monroe. assistant
chief Of the fire department. who
was first to enter the room, testified
at the coroncr's investigation to-day
that the body was lying parallel with
the bed, which showed no evidence
Of having been disturbed. his feet
toward the head OF ,he bed, thus
exploding the theory that ,he youth
fell from the bed. The mattress, he
testified, was saturated with kcro-
sene oil and under the head Of the
dead youth was found counternanc
also saturated with oil, while two
large empty oil cans we're found in
an adjoining room.
Other witnesses testified to hearing
Il noise as if struggle about mid
'''S'' III NV sout lOolll.
Probable Motive.
j. II. Scull testified that on Mon
day, acting as notary public, he sign
ed certificate of transfer of insur-
ancc policy for $4,000 from Crom-
we'll to Holly, the premium on which
he was informed was paid by Holly,
who had applied for insurance TO
the amount of $4,000, the company
refusing more than S2,50O. This is
supposed to have furnished the mo.
tive for the crime that is believed to
have been committed.
The autopsy performed on the
BODY failed to disclose any evidence
OF violence, but the stomach was dis
tended and the lungs congested
which the physicians say could have
been caused by smoke.
The physician was satisfied that
the boy was burned before death
but could not say as TO whether mar
colics were used, as IA chemical
analysis only can determine this.

the two on this matter? We will me-

Some eight or ten 9lonths ago, with
the continued high price offering for
cOpra, it became very evident to the
owners of cocoanut plantations that
a boom in such plantations was not
far distant. Today that boom is mt
its height. History relates. that land
bOOms as a general rule, that is, what
may be termed mushroom booms,'
are very profitable to spectators who
have the sagacity TO See at the right
time, but eventually very harmful to
the community as a whole: a fortiori,
to the Colony or State. Whether a
land boom is to prove beneficial to
the Spectator and incidentally to the
Colony, greatly depends on the fact
whether such boom is founded on
firm commercial basis on otherwise.
Bearing in mind these facts anent
land booms, let us proceed to inves-
tigate, firstly, the cause of the cocoa
nut boom, and, secondly, the effect of
same, and finally whether the sudden
increase in the value of cocoanut lands
is on thoroughly firm basis or not.
To the reading public the cause Of
the present-day price of copra, fluc-
tuating between 1920 and $3.50 a ton
in London, must be well known. To
the uninitiated bare outline of the
cause should be useful. The greatest
mainstay of the value of copra is the
quite modern use of the oil extracted
from the copra for the manufacture
Of butter This vegetable butter is
served to a great extent, if not sole
". to both the Russian and German
armies. This is in addition to a very
wide use of the butter by the English
and European public. BY the use of
this butter all danger OF contracting
cancer and tuberculosis is eliminat-
ed; when the use of cream butter
made from the cream or COWS suf-
fering from these diseases will convey
the dreaded cancer and tuberculosis.
The copra oil is also extensively used
in the manufacture of high quality
soap, condensed milk, for cooking
purposes and various other uses. The
