FARMERS SHOULD NOT
Neglect Young Pigs--Must Have
Clean Quarters and Good Food.

Clemson College, June 7:-At this
time of the year, when the farmer
has his crops to attend to, it is easy
to fall into the mistake of letting the
young pigs on the farm go without
proper attention. Pigs that are not
cared for will not produce profits.
The farmer should therefore allow
nothing to make him neglect his
young swine if he hopes to make
anything out of them.
The pig should be provided for
even before it's mother farrows. by
giving the sow clean quarters, which
will reduce the likelihood of vermin
and disease attacking the pigs. If
this precaution was not taken, it is
quite likely, according to the ex-
tension animal husbandmen of Glenn
son College, that the pigs will be-
come infested with lice, which will
handicap the pigs and reduce their
vitality to such point that they are
likely to become easy victims to dis
eases. To control lice, use crude
petroleum, either as dip or applied
to the animal by hand. 1t is good
both as a preventive and a remedy.
A good homemade remedy is an
emulsion of Kerosene. Use about
one quart Of kerosene to two gallons
of "soapy" water. By all means,
try to rid the pigs of lice as soon as
they appear.
Pigs should have the range of
forage crops and plenty of clean wa
ter at all times to keep them in
thrifty growing condition. Patches
of peanuts, peas. soy beans, rape and
other grazing crops can be used at a
large profit by letting the pig har,
vest them and with a proper rota-
ton of these crops very little grain
will be needed until the pigs are
ready for the finishing pen.
The greatest profits in hog raising
cannot be realized unless care is
taken at all times to keep the herd
in healthy and thrifty condition.

the cable is paid out as the ship re-

Of the other end. With this recovered,
the ship has both the San Francisco

Following this message two hours are

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS

No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tuberoses out OF
doors until the ground is warm and
spring settles downright
LIQUID manure Is made by saving
a barrel in two or using tub with
spigot near the bottom. Punch holes
in an old lard can through the bot
tom and fill with fresh manure. Place
it on the tub with boards laid across
the tub) and fill the can with water.
Harden plants grown under cover
by exposing them to the sun and air
and outdoor atmosphere. Expose them
but short time at first and increase
the exposure until they are hardy.
However, they must not be left In the
weather during high or cold winds or
when frost, snow or ice are in the
air.
Mulch sweet peas by sowing seeds
of any of the low growing ANNALS
along the pea trenches and thereby ex-
tend their growing season.

SPARE MINUTE GARDENS
BY LULU G. PARKER.

These spare-minute gardens, de-
signed for busy women, are not formal
affairs; they are border beds about
two by eight feet in size and should
be planted along the walks, drive
ways and fences.
Get good seed from reliable seeds

unless it is fresh. Cheap balsam seed
will produce poor flowers.
Plant tall sorts in row at the back,
medium sized sorts in clumps of a
dozen seedlings or more, and use the
low growing sorts for edging.
Any of these little gardens will
furnish enough cut flowers for the
table, with few to give away, besides
