Red Blood and Courage!
(BY Oh ". C Lucas }

What drives the men right up to the
trenches in this war is courage, and it's
red blood that uputs the heart" in tbs
men. Did any n ever see a puny, thin
blooded nan ever rush into the fight with
any chance of winning out With richs
pure blood you can face any hardship,
reach any goal. But you are handi-
capped in the ace of life without it.
Every tissue, bone, muscle, should take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps
the face breaks out in pimples, or boils
appear on the neck, and we feel languid.
tired, our vitality is at q low ebb, and
We easily catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative extract
and blood-puriier, taken from Natures
forests. Such a one is made up OF
Golden Seal, Blood and Stone root,
Oregon Grape and Queens root ex-
tracted with glycerine and made into
sugar-coated tablets or liquid, and this
has been sold by druggists for the past
fifty years as Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Tablets sell for 60
cents.
LENo1R, N. CO DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is a great medicine for
me In building me up when l feel rundown
in health. 1t gives me strength I'M flesh.
l have been using it at different times for
thirty years or more. l began its use for
catarrh, and it greatly relieved me. q
heartily recommend the Discovery as Q

time, suffering from stomach trouble:
Had terrible spells of Indigestion and

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. l had
little faith at first but she persuaded me
to try it. l have taken a little over four

In feeding those growing pigs, do not
forget that the larger they grow the
better. If they are worth producing,
they are certainly worth the extra feed
and care it takes to develop them. No
man ever made anything by starving
them, unless there was n lack of good
blood IL he hasn't the good blood, the
quicker he gets it the better, The old
saying, "A good one is worth a pasture

women SUFFERERS MAY
need SWAMP-ROOl

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to b
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp'
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

LET HOGS HARVEST SOUTHERN ROOT CROPS

prepared by tse United states Depart
msHt OF AgylcuitureD
With hogs acting both as harvester
and consumer, peanuts. velvet beans.
sweet potatoes and chufas Ga sedge
which produces underground tubers)
are becoming important hOg-fattenlng
crops In the South. Allowing hogs TO
harvest these crops, especially peanuts,
In the field Is one Of the most proiita-
BILE ways Of disposing Of them. As a
diet of peanuts alone makes a SOFT
pork, other feeds may be used later to
harden the animals for market.
Soft hogs are objected 10 for three
main reasons. First, n piece Of soft
pork Is Il very undesirable piece OF
meat and is objected TO by the cOnsum-
or second, the lard rendered from soft
bodied hogs never sets well and Is un-
desirable from both the packers and
the consumers standpoint third, soft
pork never cures MS well as hard pork,
Meat packers question the quality Of
the meat from hogs fed peanuts and
other similar feeds that produce soft
pork, and they are not unreasonable In
doing this, us refrigeration will not
harden the ~carcasSes Of hogs fed solely
on feeds Of this character. ON the
other hand, packers Will not believe
that soft %CarCusses can be hardened If
fed the proper ration for a certain
time before killing, This attitude is
not justified, however, for there is
sufficient experimental data at hand TO
prove that soft-bodicd hogs can be
made firm If they are fed the proper
feeds or combination Of feeds.
Corn alone viii eventually harden
soft-bodIcd hogs If fed during the lat
ter part Of the feeding period for four
TO eight weeks, or as a large part Of
the ration during the entire time the
pigs are on feed. However, hogs will
not grow rapidly enough On corr alone
10 put on Il quick finish, and the time
and feed involved In hardening the
carcass makes this practice n most ex-
pcnslve one, This is true no matter
what the price of corn may be, and It
Is especially true at the present time
when corr Is high in price.
A ration composed Of tWo-thlrds corn
and one-third C|ottonseed meal Is an
excellent hardening ration If the hogs

Greenville, S. C.-There is no indica
ton at division headquarters of the
date when the quarantine Of Officers
and enlisted men at Camp Sewer will
be lifted. The order is for an "indefi'
mite quarantine" due to an epidemic
of measles in the camp and a few
cases Of meningitis, and while the sit
uation looks brighter and the officers
In charge are optimistic, they were not
in position, they said, to wen conjec'
ture how long the quarantine Will be
in force. Officers and enlisted men
are not permitted to leave the camp
reservation.
Hundreds of soldiers wives and rel
atives and friends are visiting the
camp in larger numbers than hereto
fore, but a quarantine that the city OF
G%reenville proposes to establish may
interfere with that pleasure. 1t is prob.
able that the government board OF
health will declare a quarantine
againts Camp Sewer, prohibiting resi-
dents of the city from entering the
military reservation except in cases
Of absolute necessity,

sweet potatoes alone, but, like Irish
potatoes alone, this ration has proved
Improbable. Sweet potatoes have con-
siderable value, however, In a properly
balanced ration.
Because Of the expense Of harvest
ing and storing sweet potatoes, n profit
realized from feeding them to hogs Is
possible only when the hogs are al
lowed to do their own harvesting. II
the hogs successfully harvest the sweet
potatoes, they are doubtless n cheaper
feed than corn on sandy soils that yleld
from ten TO II times Hs many bushels
Of sweet potatoes as corn, although
the average yield of sweet potatoes
Is less than 80 bushels per mere, some
farms raise MS many rs 200 bushels.
Sweet potatoes are considered the
best root crop for pigs for fall and
early winter grazing on the c%ut-over
pine lands Of the South. The roots
are low In protein. however, and when
pigs prc allowed to harvest them some
grain always should be given In addi'
ton.
Velvet Beans.
South Of central Alabama. where
the beans will mature, velvet beans,
although n new crop, are giving excel
lent results for hog and cattle grazing.
They are usually planted with some
supporting crop, corn or sorghum, IN
alternate rows or both in the am
row, as they grow best when held up
from the ground. If planted in May
or June in fOur-fOOt rows at the rate
Of one peck per acre, the earlier varl-
cites should be ready for grazing In
October and November.
Chufas.
Chufas with their small nutllke
tubers yield large amounts of fatten-
ing forage fer hogs. Planted In the
early spring at the rate OF one peck
70 the mere, they should be ready to
pasture late In the fall or during the
winter. Some protein food such as
tanknge or %cott0nseed meal should be
fed in addition to balance the ration,
for the chufas are largely starch and
contain little protein.
Some Grain ls Necessary.
The object in pig feeding Is to grow
Il pig with plenty of size and scale
and one that will fatten quickly and

economically. 1t Is impossible to do
this on pasture or roots alone; grain
must be added to the ration. Pigs do
not neglect the roots of forage when
fed grain, but really make more eco
nomiCal use Of 1t then when the grain
Is limited. In feeding II grain ration
on roots or pasture, more success has
been attained by giving an amount
equal to three pounds per hundred
pounds live weight than when fed In
lesser amounts. Many farmers use
the self-feeder, giving the pigs free
! access to such feeds as corn, mill feeds,
and tankage while on pasture, and OBJ
tain excellent results. The practice
tends to shorten the feeding period
and produces pork with slightly less
grain per unit of gain.
