EXCELLENT NOTES
ON CARE OF SWINE
All of Leading Breeds Are Adapt
ed to Economical Production
Keep Animals Healthy.

The use of corn in hog-feeding
should be tempered with judgment.
The corn and hog crop go hand in
hand. A man starting in farming in
the West relies upon this combination.
The hog from first to last is capable
OF getting large proportion OF its
feed from grass.
We are apt to make the mistake of
feeding grain too freely because the
hog utilizes 1t SO efficiently and eco
nomically.
No breed enjoys any marked prefer
ence In the markets of the country.
All of the leading breeds are adapted
to economical production.
To have healthy swine on the farm
the first essential is to have good. vig-
orous. healthy. breeding animals.
Sunbeams. crude carbolic acid and
lime are the best and cheapest disin-
fectant.
When hog-waterers are used they
should be cleaned frequently and a
lump Of quicklime dropped in the bar
rels occasionally will assist In keeping
them sweet and clean.
Health and drugs have no affinity
in the successful management OF a
herd of swine.
Health is natural. Disease unnat-
ural. Both are contagious.
II in the fight between health and
disease we give nature little encour.
agement we will come off victorious.
1t is. after all, more our mission to
keep our hogs healthy than to allow
them to keep themselves in that condi-
ton
We should keep the hogs close com
pany. study their habits and their re-
quirements and then cater to them.
Add to this. humane treatment; and
we have solved the whole problem.
Mud is not good thing to feed pigs
in, dust is worse. Both should be
avoided as much as possible.
A short nose is good. but long
body is better.

Vancouver. b. C.-From the West
river near Hong Kong. China, the
Canadian Pacific railway liner, EN-
press OF Japan. brought story of
piracy and bloody battle by night
aboard the British steamer Talon.
On April 27, 1918. the Talon was
seized and looted by pirates at the
point on West river. where one year
later to the day the piratical attack
Just reported here was made.
On April q. 1914. the Talon cleared
from Hong Kong for Honeymoon with
general cargo. a crew OF 40 Chinese
and 1863 passengers. The vessel was
commanded by Captain Weatherell.
with Chief Offioer Evans and Engineer
T. d Mccartney. who was on the
steamer at the time OF the first pratt
cal attack year ago.
All about ten o'clock at night. April
27, of Kai Au, while the captain was
asleep in his cabin. several score of
pirates that had come aboard as pas
sengers, appeared on the decks with
Mauser rifles in their hands.
Frightened cries from the other
Chinese aroused Captain Weatherell.
Seizing a shotgun. he leaped for the
bridge, reaching it moment in ad-
vance of the first pirate to seek the
point Of vantage. The captain shot
him through the stomach and the body
rolled back upon his climbing fellows
behind
For the moment the dash OF the
armed Chinese was halted. and in that
moment Captain Weatherell was Joined
by the mate and engineer and two
Portuguese guards. AS fast as they
could reload their weapons they fired
into the ruck of squirming figures
that appeared. fell back in the dark
ness and appeared again at the bridge

dashed a figure, screaming with rage
and pain. and the fingers OF two talon
like hands closed in wouuding clutch
on the throat of the engineer. Cap
! tain Weatherell whirled and fired with
4 hasty aim. Several shots from the
weapon raked through Mccartney i
hip. but the mass of the load struck
and shattered the pirates skull
Abandoning the attack on the
bridge. which already had cost them
IA dead and many wounded, the pirate
hordes withdrew to the lower deck.
They stopped the engines and put the

Then again there IL another matter
that enters into the economy OF the
feeding question, and that is the mat
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished. There are times when
It will be more money in the feeders
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just OF grass. even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do we'll to raise a
high class OF feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms. and sell when the prices
are right
Sell when Just Off grass II the price
is right and grain foods are high.
Feed well on variety of well cured
alfalfa, clover and corn stover and a
liberal grain ration.
Raise the breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep in
close touch with the market condi-
tions in relation to both feed and beef.
II the cattle are to be full fed. Sc
lect the full-feed period with inteili-
gent discrimination aid precaution.

One OF the chief disadvantages that
most cattle feeders have to contend
with Is the purchase OF feeders from
some remote district II It is possible
to select small bunch OF good quail
ity. uniform-sized feeders of about the
same age in his own neighborhood
they will make more profitable lot
OF feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class of feeders that
come from some remote district.
Many failures among feeders can
be traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with the eff
fects OF acclimation and domestication
OF the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started off In good condi-
tion.
Then again some farmers come to
the conclusion that It is Improbable
to keep a herd OF cows and. believe
that they can buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford to
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake, and many who have
sold their COW herds are now develop

in their rage. they gave up all hope Of
profit from their attack in their lust
for revenge.
Breaking open tins of kerosene in
the hold. drenching the cargo, the
pirates set fire to the ship. In a few
minutes the Talon was wrapped in
sheets OF flame. Out of the smoke

On the bridge. where the fight had
been fought and won, the FIVE >men
still stood, sending up rocket signals
Of distress. Then, as three steamers
responding to the signals came into
view, the two Portuguese sprang over
board For little longer the three
Britishers. choked by the smoke and
tortured by the heat. clung to the Bills
tering rail and shouted advice to the
Struggling passengers. Evans seized
an oar and plunged into the sea. He
did not reappear. Then the engineer
and the captain jumped Both were
saved as were the Portuguese. The
Talon was burned to the water line
and sank.
The three rescue steamers were the

OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Profitable Method Of Getting Rid
OF Weeds Is to Sell Them In
Mutton at Sc a Pound.
cBy C. d. LYoN.)

Some men were looking over q
weedy pasture and one of them said:
What shall | do with these weeds7"
Quick as flash his neighbor said:
Sell them in mutton ut cents a
pound"
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind Of
stock will pay him the greatest profit.
but on most farms there is room for
a small flock OF sheep and ut the end
of the season the money the wool and
lambs win bring will be that much
clear profit.
Going back to the first proposition.
that of the weeds that infest our fields
1t may be said that while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds, is not
plan to be advised. they will eat
nearly every weed that grows upon
farm and will put on good, solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re-
fuse.
The most tractable of all farm stock,
they can be managed with less trou-
BILE than other stock. all that Is re-
quired to restrain them being wire

The other day | was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds. we were unanimously in favor
OF the breed of sheep that will bring

fleece a secondary consideration.
This is the very season to think of
starting a flock as great many flock

shearing time is over. and unless a

he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market, thor

The practise OF many farmers Of
driving team through cold water to
wash the filth from their feet and legs
Is dangerous. as It causes many dis
eases that they are subject to.
A warm or overheated team should
not be put in cold airy place. but

should be wiped dry with straw or

mingham remained in third position, 1 point ahead Of New Orleans, which main- tains slight margin oyer Atlanta.
 The first six teams remain closely punched 49 points in the percentage col umn separating Mobile and Nashville, not counting today's games. Memphis and Montgomery continued to bring up the rear of the procession, the latter having fallen still lower on it's poor record of six defeats in seven contests. Good work was shown, however. by many of the clubs. Atlantas slump after it's climb the week before was another surprise, al- though changes in the standing are to be expected as the first division teams are only 21 points apart. Unusually high temperatures undoubtedly affected the players. Only two games were postponed by rain.

No games scheduled.

Anniston, June 2s.-(Special.) )-There continues to be a merry old race in the Georgia-Alabama league, with each team winning three games each week and los ing the same number. with the exception of one or two teams. The schedule now calls for four games in each series, in- stead of three, and as result the team at home wins two games in each series and the visiting team plays 500 ball, too.
 Another club changed managers last week, when Draper, who managed a team in the Appalachian league, sup planted Pace as manager of the Talla- dega club. The fans at that place were dissatisfied with the way /the late man. ager was handling the pitchers. They claim that Pace would work his weak pitchers too often, and would let Black and Davis, their best pitchers, rest on the bench. Draper won his first game for Talladega Friday against Anniston with Decatur, a pitcher he brought with him from the Appalachian club in the box.
 The Selma club has at last started to winning again after a bad slump of about a month when they fell from the first to the fifth place. Riggs has strengthened his club a good deal this week. with the addition of Outfielder Burke, secured from Memphis, and Pitchers Smith and Brown. The Annis- ton team is also beginning to wake up and do what is expected of them from the other clubs in the league.
 
 that they have released three good men who are considered stars by the teams they have joined.
 Gadsden has Baumgardner and Will liams who played in the outfield for An niston during the earlier part of the sea son and Talladega has Askew playing their first base Askew started the sea son with Anniston in right field. and was one of the leading hitters in the league last year. There are only four men, ex elusive of the pitching staff, who are or the Anniston club, who were with then at the beginning of the season. How ever. the team is great deal stronger than 1t was at that time.
 President Boykin of the league hal experienced trouble with his umpires this week. Mills was released to manage Gadsden, Duggan jumped, and Markel re signed. saying that he had better Joi in New Orleans. The towns in the league are not umpire killers. but show consid eration for the Jumps" that is seldom given to them in class D leagues. The Fourth of July will be welcomed by the Georgia Alabama league as all o the clubs will make bid for large at tendance in each town. The receipts wil be pooled and divided equally among tn clubs. Gadsden will play the morninI game in Anniston and the local club will play in Gadsden in the afternoon.

Bitterness Being Displayed

Considerable bitterness has been in jected into the rivalry of the Athletics and Washington club as the result of the forfeiture of the game by the former club in Philadelphia Friday. Up to that time the series had gone Washington's way but the tide turned with the forfeiture and the Athletics had the better of it, three games to two, when the battling ended yesterday. Each club, however, won and lost the same number of games during the week and their relative stand ing is unchanged.
 St. Louis picked up ground on both clubs by winning five games in eight and advanced to second place. There are ex- perts who are beginning to figure Rickey's men as pennant contenders. The athlet- ics have not played up to form all season. and recently have let down in their hit ting.
 Topping the second division, the Bos- tons are coming strong, with Joe Wood pitching his smoke ball" again with deadly effect Close behind are the Chi cagos. The New Works and the Cleve- lands are still battling for last notch oc- cupancy. with the Maps crawling, little closer to the chancemen during the week.

 Just what the delegates will do at the first meeting is problematical. In all lilSeli- hood, nothing will be done until the va rious representatives have had an oppor- tunity to discuss the various decisions of the meeting with the athletic authorities in charge at the various institutes There is possibility that nothing will result.
