Dear Pig Club Members:

Dear Pig CluD Members:
In my last letter | asked if you knew
why pig squeals. There are usually
three things that cause it to cry
hunger, thirst or cold. Here in Geor-
gia where it is so warm there is not
much chance for it to get cold, and
if you feed plenty and regularly it
should not be hungry. So, if your
pig squeals, it must be calling for
something to eat or drink.
II you do not have anything green
for your pig, you should plant some
cowpeas and sorghum at once. You
can get pork as cheap at the market
as you can grow it in dry lot or small
pen. Hogs do not grow as fast on grass
alone but exercise, clean water, pas
ture and some feed like the follow
ing viii make it gain rapidly:
For 100 pound pig: Three parts vel
vet bean meal, two parts corn chops,
or two parts wheat shorts and one
part corn chops; 100 to $50 pound
hogs; one part velvet bean meal; one
part shelled or ear corn; or one part
wheat shorts, one part shelled or ear
corn.
Have clean wallow if you can, but
don't let your pig lie in sinking
pool. Shade alone is better. If you
have wallow, keep some crude oil or
coal tar in water to kill lice.
Don't expect 10 raise a fine hog on
water and good intentions. Breeding
is valuable, but good pasture and plen-
ty Of feed three times a day help a
lot. Give all the milk you can. You
cannot feed too much. Don't feed dish
water Give clean water instead. Keep
your pig gaining a pound a day. No
pigs will be displayed without COM
plete record.
Very truly,
j. F. DOWNING,
Pig Club Agent.

The letter below is the second of a
series being sent to the boys in the

Pig Club Agent, through County
Agent J. A. Johnson. There are %
members of the pig club, about half
of whom have pure bred pigs. An

F. railroad has offered $25 scholar.
ship to the State College of Agricul-
ture to the pig club member from
this county who exhibits the best hog
with complete record at the state
fair in Macon this fall. This should
make the boys try harder to make
their pigs into finer hogs. Somehow
the railroads have a high vision Of
what is needed to advance education
and rural and agricultural interest
with the farm boys, the real men Of
tomorrow.
Six pig club boys are raising pigs
that were purchased with money lent
for this purpose by Citizens Bank $40,
American National Bank $40, Ameri-
can Savings Bank $40, F. L. Barthlol-
omew $40, and Palmer-Jones Co. $40.
Other good citizens subscribed to the
cause, but their amounts were not
used because of scarcity of good pigs
at time of delivery of pigs to bays.
Their offers are highly appreciated,
