The Georgia chamber Of commerce
has coined the vivid but acute phrase,
a Civic Pentecost, to describe its
midwinter state wide rally to be held
in Macon, January 1890 In the coun-
ties not as yet organized, ordinaries
and county officials are requested TO
name committees Of seven, consisting
Of representative citizens, who shall
serve as delegates TO the convention.
The weekly press of the state is also
expected to cooperate in insuring 4
record breaking attendance.

membered as the occasion when ton

"An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" is an old saying, but
in this case it is everything.
The object of the pig club is to show
the boys how better and cheaper hogs
may be produced by the use of i'm
proved blood and the growing of for
age crops. 1t also aims to encourage
the home curing Of meats and the
growing Of forage crops while dis,
lcouraging the use Of high-priced feeds.
The work of the boys pig clubs is
planned to complement the work of
the boys corn clubs by showing the
boys how they can proftably sell their
corn through hogs.
The boys in these clubs learn how
to judge hogs and to select them for
breeding or market purposes. They
also learn practical ways in the man
agement. feeding, sanitation, and pre-
vention of diseases of swine, all Of
which information proves valuable
with respect to other forms of live
stock work.
A not unimportant detail of the
work to the boys themselves is the
money which they are enabled to earn
by marketing their product. They also
come to realize sooner or later that
farm life has its interesting side, and
that success in the farming business
is well worth while.
Any boy between the ages Of ten
and eighteen may become member

at least one pig if he becomes a mem

BULLETIN is ISSUED BY e. s. DE-
.PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
THAT TELLS EXACTLY HOW TO
RAISE PRIZE PORKERS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 26.-The
of Agriculture is endeav-
oring to interest the younger genera
ton on Southern farms in the breeding
of good hogs 1t is the object of the
to encourage the young
men to raise at least enough pork for
home consumption and if possible, a
surplus for the market. Pork can be
marketed in many forms-fresh pork,
hams, bacon and sausage-and can be
produced so as to sell much cheaper
than beef. A shortage of beef means
an increased demand for pork, and i:
seems reasonable that there should be
a ready demand for all the available
supply. This means money in the
pocket of the boy hog raiser.
Some of the points which the depart
ment advises the youthful hog grower
to bear in mind are the following:
l. The feeding and care are as i'm
portant as the breeding in producing 4
good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make good hog out of i
runt, but lack of it will always make a
runt out of a good pig.
2. To make pork cheaply a perman-
ent pasture and forage crops must be
used.
8. Young pigs must have a dry bed
and plent OF sunshine.
4. Begin feeding the pig as soon as
he will eat, and keep him growing I'M
til he is mature
5. Always keep plenty of clean
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
Z. Never keep a female for brood
sow, no matter how we'll bred she
may be, if she will not produce more
than four strong pigs at a litter.
s. The more milk a SOW will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
9. Lice prevent a hog from doing
well.
10. Always keep mixture of char
coal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur, SAL,
ard copperas before the hogs.
These points are emphasized In a
bulletin pust issued by the Bureau of
Animal Industry, entitled Boys Pig
Clubs with special reference to their
organization in the South" 1t can be

In the pamphlet are some very i'm
portant "dont's" which should aid the
young farmer in preventing the dang
eious disease Of hog cholera. Here
are the suggestions:

Daubert having a copper-riveted
cinch on first base, but when the
Dodgers got ready to turn the former

he had built his 1914 club.
Schwartz does not believe that
Portland's claim will hold even under
