than one-half allowed their pigeons
free range. Barley. rye, sorghum seed,
and prepared mixed pigeon feeds were
additional feeds mentioned. Most
farmers who did not keep their pi-
geons confined fed only grains which
they raised. such as corn, wheat and
oats. Twelve per cent mixed fine salt
with grit and oyster shell. and per
cent fed the salt dissolved in the
were supplied by most breeders. A
few used special tonics during the
molting period Only 33 per cent re-
ported the use OF tobacco stems or
leaves, as against so per cent among
the larger breeders.
The diseases most frequently men,
toned were canker. going light, and
roup. The principal method OF treat-
ment was prevention; by keeping ev-
everything clean, using dislnfectants
freely. and killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-
venting sickness were the use of kero-
sene oil, permanganate of potash, lime,
copper sulphate, carbolic acid. quassia
chips, epson salts. venetian red, tine
ture Of gentian, or tonic in the drink
ing water. Dry sulphur and diluted
peroxide OF hydrogen were used in
treating canker, and kerosene oil for
roup. A few allowed diseased pigeons
their freedom when they had been
kept confined. About one-fourth re-
ported some loss from rats, but most
OF the larger breeders made their pens
rat-proof. Losses from hawks and cats
were reported in some cases where the
pigeons were allowed their freedom.
The average yearly profit from each
pair OF breeders varied from 20 cents
to $3.50, and averaged $2.29. The
profit from breeders who sold stock
largely for breeding purposes varied
from $40 to $40 per pair The average
yearly feed cost per pair varied from
40 cents to 81, and averaged s1.32.
Fifty.five per cent sold squads for mar
ket only, 33 per cent both for market
and as breeders, and IL per cent for
breeders only. The number Of
squads marketed from each pair of
breeders varied from to 20, and av-
eraged 1873; the weight per dozen
squads varied from to Is poundr, and
averaged 10.l pounds. Squads were
marketed Mt from to weeks; the
average being AZ weeks. The aver
age price for the year received per
dozen squads varied from 60 cents to

BEST HOGS FOR FATTENING
Pigs Weighing From 100 TO $50 Pounds
Should Be Seiected-corn as
Supplementary Feed.

For fattening, select pigs weighing
from 1870 to $50 pounds and in good
condition. They should be fattened
for at least so days and perhaps IS.
II 1t requires 80 long to bring them up
to weight of $50 to 200 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight at which
to put hogs on the market and animals
of this weight in good condition will
bring top prices.
In feeding corn as a supplement to
pasture, begin with a daily feed Of
three pounds OF corn for hog weigh
ing $50 pounds. When full feeding
has been we'll begun, one may feed all
the corn the hog will clean up. Kafir
milo or feterita may be used instead
of corn, but the amount required will
be little larger.

EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.

During the wet and dry campaign
Of the state OF Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month of pro-
hibition this Is what the editor said: (:
I'VE fought prohibition on economic
grounds alone. We believed that In
great seaport city with a popula-
ton Of upwards of 100000, prohibi-
tion would be destructive; that It
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor traffic as
well controlled as 1t could be; we
wanted to let II alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight. But in
spite Of all we could do. prohibition
carried and went into effect January
/. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and
we had an average Of $500 arrests a
month for crimes and misdemeanors
growing out OF liquor drinking. In
January we had only 400 arrests and
60 OF these were made January /,
and were the result OF hang-overs
from the old year."

A large number OF replies were re-

large pigeon breeders, although they
were more varied. Many farmers OBJ

carried diseases and all kinds Of YER

A combined Matching, brooding and

RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.
Story of JeweI-Studded Snuff Box
Presented by Louis XVI, of France.

In Backward Glances,' printed in
the News and Courier recently there
was a reference to the rafting off in
Baltimore of the diamond-crested
snuff box presented to Col. John Lau-
rens, Of this State, by Louis XVI, OF
France. This reference was taken
from the Charleston Courier of May
10, 1866. The Courier of the day
before, that is of May 1S, 1856, print
ed a full and interesting story of the
presentation of this snuff box to Col.
Laurens by the king of France. AS
the details of this incident in South
Carolina are probably not familiar
to most South Carolinians of this
generation the Sunday News reprints
below the Courier's story. The Sum
day News is not informed as to the
final disposition of the snuff box.
Probably this is known in Charles
ton, but the only information avail
able at the moment is that contained
in Prof. Wallace's admirable Life
of Henry Laurens. In this book, in
the sketch of Lieut.. Col. John Lau-
rens, Prof. Wallace says:
.The king gave Laurens on the
completion of his mission gold snuff
box ornamented with the royal por-
trait and set with brilliants (not dia-
monds, as commonly stated.) Years
afterwards the member of the family
to whom it had fallen was forced to
Sell it. It was bought by an enthusi-
astic admirer of Laurens who outbid
all others with the intention, she
said, of restoring it to it's owner
which, however, she omitted to do.
