EmIaratIon From Scotland.

The tide Of emigration continues un-
abated. Thousands every week con.
tinue to leave London, Liverpool and
Glasgow for Canada and Australia.
There is every indication that the year
1913 will beat every record in the re-
cent history of emigration, and that
before the end of the year 300, 900 will
have left these shores. And what IL
even more ominous than the quantity
OF the emigration is its quality. It is
the young men, the enterprising and
the energetic that are leaving. It in
the old men, the women and chiIdren
that are left behind. Some of the most
beautiful districts of Scotland are BE-
ing depleted. Whole cities, like the
old country town of Jedburgh, are left
desolate, and houses are crumbling
even in the main streets.-Londoa Ev-

Of immense value to some parts of
Louisiana. In that state the boys pig
clubs have been very successful and
they have done even more for the

clubs did, which is putting it very
strongly.
A summary Of the work of the
boys pig clubs published in a bulletin
of the Louisiana state university eX-
pertinent station shows that the pro-
gress Of the club idea has been very
rapid. The first club was organized
in Caddo parish by superintendent
of rural schools in the fall of 1910.
During the winter clubs were formed
in two other parishes and in 1911 the
campaign resulted in eleven additional
parishes becoming interested The
Caddo club had fifty members when
it was first instituted In 1913 the
membership Of the clubs had increas-

THE YELLOW PINE MARKET

The American Lumberman in it's
current review of the yellow pine sit
uation says:
The principal call for yellow pine is
for mixed and assorted lots. In the
east Texas district the market is
slightly weaker. This is attributed to
the fact that the farmers are too
busy in the fields to think of making
to the further fact that railroads are
or even planning improvements and

government has inquiries out for
100000 feet of lumber. The lumber

is about the same, little change oc-

many are buying some lumber all the

more encouraging. There is an in

in Arkansas were said to be never
better. Country and town trade is
brisk and the opening up of new
farming country has brought numer-

Duffv's Pure Malt whiske,

At the 1913 state fair 100 pigs were
exhibited by club members, several
winning blue ribbons in competition
with leading growers and breeders
throughout the South. OF the 1869
members enrolled, 367 kept the
records prescribed by the university
directors and submitted formal re-
ports of their work, while 14S others
reported informally.
Forty parishes had organized clubs
last year and it is hoped that the
work is only fairly begun The uni
versity and the federal bureau of an
imal industry are cooperating for
the encouragement of the movement.
The boys are taught the best methods
of selecting, feeding and caring for
their pigs. 1t is work in which
most farm boys manifest a lively con-
Germ, and the good-natured rivalry in
hog production is bound to have
good effect.
With pork as high as it is, and with
no prospect in sight Of a falling off
in price, there is big money in hog
raising on the gulf coast, particularly
for the rice farmer. The best way to
build up an industry like hog raising
is to teach the boys first and let it
grow up with them.
