why not let the boy join the pig
club movement? Any boy between
the ages Of 10 and is may join. Aside
from the interest the boy will take
in raising the pig, the influence OF
proprietorship and value of the con-
structive work upon his young life,
he will find a good deal of financial
encouragement. He may obtain
scholarship to the short course given
for boys and girls prize winners, at
the State College Of Agriculture,
where he will get an outlook and in
splration that may mean great things
for him.
The prizes he may win at the eoun-

to a considerable sum, but the repu-
tatfon gained for the animal, If a

start in life as the result OF joining
the pig club.

Protecting Orchards
Against Light Frosts
r. ii. Mediation, Professor of Hortl-
culture, Georgia state College
Of Agriculture

An orchard can be protected
against light frosts by the smudging
method. For this purpose there are
smudge pots or orchard heaters on
the market. Should these seem too
expensive, a good substitute is afford
ed by making smudge fires OF wet
grass, straw, old leaves, prunings.
etc. About 100 small piles can be
placed to an acre, most OF them be-
ing put on the side from which the
wind is blowing. The purpose. OF
course, is to keep the smoke over
the orchard. It is important that
the smudge fires be used early in the
morning before the sun comes up to
prevent too rapid thawing out OF froz-
en- flowers.
AS rule, when the temperature Is
SO degrees, and it looks as if the tenn
perature is going lower start the
smudge fires. 1t can not be expect.
ed that this method will save from
severe freezes, but it can be used oc
casionally with great profit.

CareleSSly he rolled a cigarette.
From his position in the speeding
fiat car he looked with disdain upon
the men ploddfng to the grind of work
along the road beside the railroad
tracks.
True, it was a freight train, but it
was taking him to the west. He had
nothing but contempt for the men
grouped around a factory, waiting for
the whistle to blow. In the west
there was freedom from all such con-
temptible restrictions - there the
open, the sage-studded hills, the
freeness of the open plains.
Our hero was attired in the fashion
of the west when it was Khaki trOu-
sers and shirt, sheepskin chaps, a red
bandana kerchief knOtted around his
neck and a sOmbrerO apprOvingly
slOuched. He carried a rifle and from
a formidable cartridge belt hung a
pistol.
Suddenly he turned pale, skunk
back into the corner Of the car and
gripped his gun. An enemy was ap-
preaching. AS big man swung into
the car the Westerner dropped back
behind pile of timber.
There was murder in the lads eyes.
Then from behind a rough hand
was laid upon his shoulders. The
game was up. He was in the Gus
tody of the law.
In court he told his story. He was
not a westerner. He was II years old.
His brother, a Wyoming cowpuncher,
had cleaned up a thousand and writ
ten for him to come on. He didn't
want to be taken for tenderfoOt
