r. w. Westberry lectured this week
to the colOred teachers Of their Sum-

He said that it was economy to have
just the number on the farm needed
but extravaganza to have more than
was needed. He spoke Of the lard
type of hog, the meat type. He said
that one must not expect to make a
meat type Of lard type or a lard
type Of meat, but for the purpose
desired. the kind should be had.
He stated many characteristics and
traits about the hog that would give
enlightenment in the selection of GER
tain kind for raising purposes.
Cows.
He spoke of the necessity Of raising
the right kind of COW to be used as q
milk COW, and the kind if one wanted
to get plenty Of butter. The best
he thought for milk vas Holstein; for
butter the Guernsey and Jersey, for
beef the Hereford
He then gave the teachers some

teachers as she urged them to do
more work for the uplift OF the rural
school. She told of the extension
work they had done and intended to
continue doing and urged the teachers
to remain in the districts on Saturday
and Sunday SO that they might help
the people and encourage them to
take a greater interest. bettering the
school and home life of the district.
