The gang was near the. Meridian
Fertilizer plant at work, when Parker
was permitted to enter one Of the

striped garment, made an exit from the
rear of the building from which a plank
had been removed, and was some dis
ltance away before the guard recogniz.
ed him. The guard drew his revolver,
yelled at Parker whoi increased his
speed. Then the guard opened fire. He
blazed away threeltimes at the fleeing
man, but missed each time.

FATHERS AND PIG-CLUB BOYS.

At Kentucky fair two pure-bred
Duroc Jersey litter mates were shown.
One belonged to pig-club boy, the other
to his father. Both purchased their
pigs at weeks old. Both started even.
The records of the boy show his pig
weighed 27 pounds at that time. With
in the next four months she had gained
167 pounds at cost of cents a pound;
or rs pounds daily gain on ration
of corn, flour, shorts, and buttermilk.
The fathers pig, unrecorded, shifted for
herself. At the fair the boys SOW
weighed 1874 pounds and was a prize
winner; the fathers weighed so IL
pounds.
Another father selected a pig from the
same litter as did his two pig-club sons.
His pig was put in a pen and fed corn.
The two pig-club boys followed instruc-
tions and fed properly balanced rations
and used pasture. At the fair the
fathers pig weighed little ever so
pounds; the prize-winning hogs of the
boys averaged over 200 pounds each.
The sons know it cost them 4 1-2 cents
cents a pound to produce their hog; the
father does not know what his hog cost.

WHAT is FARM MANAGEMENT

: Farm management as q branch of
agricultural science is defined as follows
IN an address recently delivered in New
England. by one OF the departments
specialists:
The farm management Investigator
gets his information direct from the
farmer. The solution of many of the
practical problems of agriculture are
found to have already been solved
generations ago by large groups of far
mers; particularly is it true of farm man.
agement and organization. Every
farmer is of necessity more or less of an
experimenter. The results of thousands
of such experimenters gathered by the
farm management investigator, classified
and interpreted in their bearing on the
community problems and on the indivi-
dual farms problems, yield not only
many fundamental broadly applicable
principles of good farm organization,
but also show in more or less detail in
just what respect successfully operated
farm differs from one which is failure or
only moderately successful.
I'm previous decades the agricultural
investigator largely concerned himself
with the study of how to accomplish
certain ends. How best to feed a pig or
COW; how best to raise potatoes or
fruit. The farm management investi-
gator is concerned with determining
whether to keep cows or pigs; whether
to raise fruit OF potatoes; and if an in
dustry be found to be desirable, to what
extent it should enter into the farm or
ganization, and with what intensity it
should be pursued. All of these prob
lens have in the aggregate been solved
by the farmers. Farm management is
merely science for classifying and in
terpreting the collective experience of
the farming people as to what constitu-
ties business efficiency in farming.
Farm management considers farm
ing as business. 1t attempts to analyze
the various factors having to do with the
success or failure of that business as it is
found conducted on the Individual farm,
and in so far as possible to determine the
broad outstanding factors for efficiency
which admit of general application for

when his raiders fed southwark.
They were then demoralized and
were dropping loot and war material
before the attacks of fifty-nine men
under Major Frank Tompkins. Re-

allowed to renew the pursuit Friday
