than the pecan, and that the
hickory will grow anywhere.
The nuts gathered from such
grated trees are far more nutri-

larger and have a thinner shell.
The native pecan sells for 10 and

notice a part Of the eighteenth section
Of the first chapter Of the book Of
Isaiah which reads thus: Come now,
and let US reason together, saith the
Lord " With due reverence to the in.
junction found in Holy Writ, We should
consider that there are various reasons
why human beings should be reasona-

being the case and other things equal,
we shall deem il worthy OF our careful
thought. that man is never too old
to learn, and never reaches point Of
efficiency in his life where he no longer
needs to be a student.
The proper study of mankind is
man.. Whether this maxim be true
or not as to the race, it is certainly
true when applied 10 ourselves. In all

Hardships had to be encountered,

Old DAYS i'm The Navy.

After eight months of continuous
routine and classroom work, says
Mr.. Carroll Storrs Alden in George
Hamilton Perkins, Commodore U. S.
NJ" the midshipmen hailed the sum-
mer practice cruise on the sloop of
war Preble as a welcome relief. The
prospect was doubly attractive to
those who had never travelled, yet
who looked or the sea as their pre-
destined element. There was much
that was quite unrOmatic about
those cruises, however. The food
was the regular navy ration, and so
poor in quality that the midshipmen
were half-starved. Since they had
almost no spending money, 1t was
not uncommon, when they touched
at foreign ports, for them to sell ar
ticles of clothing, or even their sex
tants, to buy something to eat II

mems affection for their hammocks
was lukewarm during the first days
of the cruise, it grew very rapidly
when they were summoned at mid
night or at four in the morning to
climb the ratlines and reef a sail
while the ship was pitching and all
was cold and dark. The midshipman

Kentucky State Fair Provides for
Boys Pig Clubs in An Elaborate Manner
Many Counties to be Represented be Given Free
Trips to the Great Fair

wN 1915 a boys pig club was
introduced into Kentucky. Thir-
teen counties were organized
under the leadership of their
county agents and $40 boys became
members. Local shows were held and
the winning boy from each county re-
ceived free trip to the Farmer Boys
Encampment at the State Fair. Six
teen boys were given this trip and
eighteen pigs were exhibited. This
was the first state pig club show in
Kentucky. Although the exhibit was
small, the interest was so great and
the showing so good that the pig club
has become one of the most popular
and beneficial boys clubs In Farm
Demonstration Work.
From this small beginning the boys
pig club has spread to 40 counties with
q membership OF 1850 boys in single
year. Bankers. business men and
farmers have co-operated to the ex-
tent OF placing over 100000 worth OF
pure bred hogs in the hands OF these
boys.
The state agent and county agents
co-operated in organizing, holding
meetings, securing registered pigs,
visiting members, and instructing
them along the proper lines of animal
husbandry.
The 1916 pig club started May 18th.
Each boy had a gilt between two and
four months of age, and most of them
secured registered pigs. Record books
were furnished the boys and the
pigs were weighed and ear tagged by
the county agent at the beginning OF
the contest.
Local Shows First.
II is contemplated that local show
be held in each OF the counties organ
ized, at which numerous prizes will be
given. The first prize in each county

pose for which IL was raised. 400
(b) Greatest daily gains ..... l5es
(c) Cheapest cost of production. 25eS
(d) Best kept record book. 209S
1909
Not only will the winning boy be
given free trip to the fair, but ne
gotiations are now under way whereby
the best two pigs from each county
will be sent to the fair free Already
one of the largest railroads in Ken
lucky has granted free transportation
to and from the fair for the best two
pigs in counties having pig clubs
along its lines.
Free Entrance Fee.
The Kentucky State Fair has
realized the educational value OF an
exhibit from these boys and to that end
have opened their doors wide, allow
ing each pig club exhibitor free en-
trance, free pens and a distinct
and separate department, at the same
ENihb AhOH NuC "
exhibit in the breeders classes. Over
$4,000 in prizes has been given by
record associations, business men and
farmers. Last year one boy defeated a
ring OF twenty-four choice pigs.
The results Of the pig club have
been widespread; hundreds Of farmers
have changed their feeding methods
pure bred hogs have been taken into
counties where they were not known;
community breeding has resulted in
six or seven counties; boys are becom-
ing interested in the farm; greater
interest is being eentered on the
swine industry OF Kentucky and this
coming September IL to l6. 1916, the
greatest hog show in the history Of
the Kentucky State Fair is predicted
