Profit from Waste Products.

In Denmark, where the principal
product is butter, the raising of swine
on the skim milk is an important by
industry. Swine are also raised on
a large scale in the oak forests Of the
Balkan Peninsula, where the swine
run at large and feed on acorns; and
in the corn section of the United
States, where food of a high fatten-
ing power is abundant.
There is wonderful opportunity
to make profit on hogs grown on
wastes. Production costs to regular
feeders are high. But hogs grown
on waste cost little more than before
and bring much more.
Hogs eat mast, roots, worms, slop
or gargabe, waste corn from steers,
weeds from garden, faulty apples and
other fruit, scattered grain OF wheat
and oat fields.
Alfalfa pasture makes the best
place on which to raise pigs. While
growing they need milk to supple
ment the alfalfa; when older they
need corn.

Cost of Producing Hogs.

Pigs possess two characteristics
which render them unique among do
nestle animals.
They consume largely concentrated
food; they produce only waste, lard
and bristlcs.
They have two great advantages:
prolificacy; usefulness cs scavengers.
Many cattle are fattened without
direct profit. The indirect profit
comes from the sale of the pigs which
follow the cattle. Two steers while
fattening will item one hog
Ten sows are sufficient to produce
one hundred pigg. That is, the CAPT
tai invested in hogs may be repro
duced in the offspring ten times in
one year.
A bushel of corn produces IL
pounds of pork. Thus. If corn is
worth s1.10 a bushel the corn cost
is ten cents a pound.

In cotton Marksts and EIsswhsrs.

Localities growing certain grade
of cotton are soon known b. buyers
as the source of certain eFade and
variety of cotton. Particularly 50 If
one grade or variety predominates
over other grades or varieties. Even
though a better variety and grade
may be grown by some farmers IN
this community. yet it falls in Il =
same class and grade as the predomi-
nate cotton grown and is sold ac-
eordingly. The poorest grade fire.
quently becomes the market standard
of the community. particularly when
1t Is grown in large quantities. Half
and half cotton might dominate the
market and your community come to
be known as half and half rom-
munity.
In bringing about improvements in
the cotton market and securing bet
ter prices, the most logical thing to
do is to first introduce a better va
riety of cotton. After having intro
duced good cotton, endeavor to get
all the farmers in the community to
grow the same variety or grade. This
will give you an output of uniform
variety and buyers will come to
know the community as good mark
ct, which will eventually lead to bet
ter prices.

Many people all over the county
viii take great pleasure in the fact
that Miss Eva Luther has been re-
elected county Home Demonstration
Agent for Obion County for 1918.
Miss Luther has report of her work
in this issue of the paper. She has
been very busy young woman since
she came to this county, and her work
has been of incalculable value with
out doubt. In the first place she
is trained and prepared. But just as
important is the fact that she has
entered into the spirit of the work.
She is capable, competent and prac-
tical above all enthusiastic and re-
sourceful. 1t is just such valuable
aid the government and the county
have given to the good women of the
county, and they, large portion of
them, have been kindly appreciative.
We are sure that when Miss Luther
has been with us another year there
will be more cooperation and great
er appreciation, and that the work
will result in splendid achievements
in developing one of the greatest
adjuncts of the farm and home.

After some discussion of the sub
ject a committee was appointed, in
Guiding Esqs. Wells, Bratton and
Holloway, and the above levy for
1918 was reported
The total for the county is the
same as it was for 1917. But there
is change in transferring the special
Jail tax of five cents last year to the
bridge tax this year.
1t was estimated that the county
would have about eighteen or twenty
thousand dollars, after the payment
of the 1917 claims have been made,
to meet the expenses of the county
for the year 1918. SO Esq. Bratton
and others recommended to the court
that thru rigid economy this may be
sufficient. 1t was suggested, and the
suggestion seemed to meet with the
views of the court, that no bridges
be built except those which are alb
solutely necessary and that such
bridges be built or wood. A repre-
sentative of one of the big steel
bridge concerns was present who
agreed with the suggestion, giving
as his reason that steel was very high
and hard to get at any price. Mem
bers of the court also urged economy
all along the lines of county expendi-
lures for 1918. SO as to make possible
the payment of the years expenses
without going in debt.
No better policy could be suggest
ed or pursued, and if the court will
adopt these suggestions the county
finances will be in much better
shape year from now.
