something that would be palata-
bic, easily digested, aud not too
hard on the teeth. The main
feed was a slop Of corn hearts,
sometimes mixed with wheat
brand. "A tubful Of this was givA
en- a day -in all about fifteen
gallons--six gallons morning and
evening and three gallons at
noon. Lii addition few pints OF
shelled corn were given at each
meal time. About once week
an ounce or two Of salt was put
in the slop.
The pigs thrived from the
start were anxious for their
feed every feeding time without
q single exception, and have new
err showed signs of having sore
teeth. 1t shout be explained that
a part OF the time the meal-and-
waterslop was not cooked but
allowed to stand from six to
twelve hours, an effort being
made to have the mixture fer
ment a little by dropping into it
once and a while o halt cake of
yeast, and leaving gallon or so
of the slop in the tub every
time the dry meal was put into
the tub and scalding water pour
ed on. The result would be
lslop about half as thick asmush.
Under this feeding the pigs
thrived. At eight months old
all who saw them guessed they
would average not less than 225
pounds, and it is believed they
will average $50 or more.
That seems a good record.
Was it accipent? Was the feed
ing well managed? Was their
large size as shoats due to being
crossed, to the age Of the SOW
when first bred, to the fact that
they had access to the rape pas
ture during the summer, or to
what?
The writer never before had
hogs to fatten better--he had
some experiencc--and he has
never seen larger hogs for their
age.
The particulars Of this expert
ence is given in hope that they
will present an idea to Others. -

HOW TO SECURE VIRUS PERMITS.
1t will be observed by reading
the above Act that ell who dis.
tribute or use virus in Tennessee
without first getting permit
from this department is violat-
ing the law. 1t shall be our pol
icy to require persons to visit
the plant and receive the neces-
sary special instruction before
issuing virus permit. ALI in.
terested persons are cordially
invited to visit this plant at any
time between the hours of 8 a..
m, and 4 p. m.,-Sunday ex-
cepted. DIR. Nj. w. Miller will
be found ready and willing to
ilnpart the necessary informa-
ton. One hour at this plant
will be all the time necessary
for proper information, and no
charge for same will be made.
Instruction is free to all resi-
dents of Tennessee.
DIRECTIONS FOR SECURING SERUM.
All serum will be shipped by
express, G. 0. d. In ordering,
twill be necessary to designate
express as we'll az postoffice.
Since virus is perishable, ship.
ments in which virus is included
will be packed ia ice and it is
recommended that virus be kept
on ice until used.
The present price of serum is
13c per c. c., which we estimate
as actual cost Of production.
Virus will be sent free with
shipments to persons holding
virus permits from this De.
partment. Virus will not be
shipped to unauthorized persons
under any conditions.
Serum will be distributed in
the followering size bottles: 500
C. c., $50 C. c., 200 c. c., $50 c. c.
100 c. c., 30 c. c. and 30 c. c.

METHODS OF vACCINATING.

Piouu Nv PiiCCo HuOVCus
METHODS OF MATCHMAKING.
The methods Of vaccinating
are in vogue, viz. serum alone,
and simultaneous method. The
serum alone method means in
lection of serum without virus.
This method only affords tenn
porary immunity, three to six
weeks. We do not advocate or
even endorse this method as the
immunity is too transient in
comparison to the expense in
Cured.
The simultaneous method con.
sists in the injection Of u small
amount OF virus at same time
serum is injected. This method
affords life immunity and does
not cost one cent more and does
not require one minute addition
al time than the serum alone
method. his simultaneous
method has our unqualified in
dorsement aud is the only one
we advocate.

GULF REFINING co.
KICKS ON REJECTION
OF 10000 GALLONS

The Gulf Refining Company, an oil
concern operating extensively in south
Georgia, came before the department of
agriculture today with a mighty kick,
occasioned by the rejection of some
10000 gallons of Illuminating oil by In
spector F. w. Campus, IN Savannah
recently.
The inspector claims that the oil is
not up to the required standard, and
the company contends that It is up and
over.
The company representative offered
to pay the expenses of an official from
headquarters in Atlanta in the event he
went to Savannah and found the oil
wrong. He was informed that the
state would pay for whatever inspec-
ton it made.
A sample OF the oil has been turned
over to the state chemist for analysis,
and upon his finding will depend the
future course of the department.

Vanish.

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with baCkaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, and It's heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-

CroXone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. 1t
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. II acts on the prin-
ciple of cleaning out the pOisons and
removing the cause
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings. like water in
sponge, neutralizes. dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neNs and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long YOU have
suffered. how old you are, or what
YOU have used. the very principle of
CroNone is such that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like il. 1t
starts to work the minute YOU take
II and relieves you the first time you
use il.
II YOU suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs of
kidney bladder troubles. or rhouma-

CroNone will quickly relieve YOU of
your misery. You can secure an

BROWN RENANES

Governor Joseph NJ. Brown today
signed an executive order naming SEN
ator Augustus 0. Bacon as senator in
congress, to succeed himself from
March until the summer session Of
the Legislature. when Mr. Bacon will be
elected for another term of six years.
Although the governor signed the or
der naming Senator Bacon today, he
will date his commission tomorrow
February (which is Georgia day.
The governor will do this as a com
pliment to the senator and a mark or
his great respect and high considera-
ton as a public servant.
Unless Senator Bacon were named to
succeed himself Immediately, his com
mittee assignments would lapse, and he
would lose his number in the senate.

addition to that. he would not be able

Senator Bacon has been named in
primary to succeed himself for a full
term, but the governors appointment to
the short term, which Is voluntary, is
necessary to make his service ooDtin
uous and uninterrupted.

Fancy Lights Sell Up to $685., But

Cattle Receipts Light, Demand Small
and Market Dull--Review Of Mar
ket Conditions.

Chicago, March 2S.-The hog market
was slow and early showed decline.
Later a lot of fancy light hogs sold up
to 1885, but the bulk of sales was from
$40 to 1925. Demoralized traffic con-
ditions served to keep buyers out OF
the market.
Chicago Thursday received $500 less
than week ago and 5000 less than
a year ago. While Omaha had 1000
more than week ago and 5000 more
than a year ago. Other Missouri river
points had less than a week and a
year ago.
The first four days of this week eleV-
en- markets received only 269,00O, or ST.
600 less than a week ago and $1,000
less than a year ago. Chicago's total
four days this week was 6,400 smaller
than week ago and 33,400 smaller
than a year ago.
Cattle.
Light receipts of cattle were in con-
junction with a light demand and the
market was duh. Offerings were of fair
quality but buyers were not in hur-
ry to take them.
Reason for the recent slump was APP
parent. Every report from the flood
stricken sections of Indiana and Ohio
came more gloomy, and the railroads
are simply shut off from handling
freight. This means that killers can
not move their beef into eastern sec
tons, and likewise there is an indefI-
mite tie-up of livestock shipments.
Three big eastern lines-the Lake
Shore, Michigan Central and Grand
Trunk-were the only ones which &C
cepted shipments yesterday and on
Wednesday. The main lines OF these
roads traverse country not affected by
high water, but they will not accept
shipments over their branch lines:
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
markets can be reached by roundabout
way, but the smaller points can not be
supplied from here, and with this Sit
uation facing them killers are by no
means in a mood to buy cattle freely.
Numerous Of the shippers still had

Ohio which were due in New York and
