COMMENDS THE HOG SHIPPING
PROPOSITION.
Greenwood, Miss, Sept. IA, 1916.

Greenwood, Miss, Sept. IA, 1916.
Editor The Daily Commonwealth:
Dear Sir: In regard to the coop.
e~ratlve hog shipping plan set for Nov
Attn, by the Greenwood Business
League, wish to say, that l consider
it one of the best movements the
Business League has ever made in the
way OF encouragement to the farmers
to raise hogs, that is, by encourage
ing a cooperative plan of shipment.
BY which each and every hog raiser
ian market his hogs, no matter how
small or how large his herd may be,
IF how large his hogs might be; it
provides him a way to get them to a
market at a small cost Of transporta-
ton to each individual shipper, where
he can receive the highest market
prices. This opportunity should not
be overlooked by any hog raiser of
this county. Why? Because when
your hogs are ready for marketing
are others that are ready, conse-
quently if they were all placed on our
city market, it would be impossible
for our city butchers to use them all
Therefore, what would be the results
and what has been the results hereto
IAe ci5ty market would be over
and its prices evidently would
% very low, and there would be only
me OF two things that you could do
With your hogs-seil them at a very
price, or else transfer them back
% your farm. ! might state that last
'prlng a party came to Jul city bring
ng with him some hogs that he killed
md dressed, and the very highest
rice he could get was 8 cents a
'ound, consequently he had to sell for
nat, or carry 1t back home. There
ore, you can see for yourself how un-
it would be to depend upon
ur city market alone.

GIRLS.

IF you pick them when they're young
They are always fine and sweet,
With the dew upon their lips
And the dancing in their feet.
1t is with them as with flowers,
And the king is he who knows
The ragweed from the violet
And the bramble from the rose.
eff you pick them when they're mel
low
With the dream of middle age,
They're a little bit like lilac,
Or like lavender and sage,
But sweetness has not left them,
And they're still to be desired,
With their arms and voice to soothe
When you're feeling tagged and
tired.
''If you pick them when the shadow
CT the gray groweth long
Like the autumn's golden meadow
In the twilight land of song
There is still a holy sweetness
In the heart that's true as gold,
And a girl is always angel,
And her heart is never old"

How MANY farmers are there that

How many farmers are there tina
can kill and cure enough meat to ru1
their plantations the entire year? AL
OF them, if they will only prepare 70,
it. But the question of keeping ane
feeding hogs the entire year for loca
market is entirely out of the question
and too expensive, unless we had a
larger local market. My idea is this
that the local market (butchers) be
given a chance to bid on your hogs at
the same time the packers( buyers)
are bidding, then sell to the highest
bidder, or where they will bring you
the most profit.
The first thing to do is to get rid
of your scrub hogs, then stock your
farm with a good breed Of hogs, build
comfortable winter houses and supply
them with plenty Of fresh water, have
them as we'll as your fall and spring
pigs immuned from hog cholera by
having them vaccinated with the Sim.
.ultaneous Treatment (serum and vi
rus) by a competent veterinarian.
prepare a dip and keep them clear Of
lice by dipping them regularly, give
them MORN powders mixed in their
feed once or twice a week and feed
them proper balanced rations, and
there will be no trouble in finding a
market for them. Hoping that every
