AID FOR PIG CLUB MEMBERS

Help In Increasing Production
Of Needed Pork.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrtculture)
One of the most potent ways OF fn-
creasing the number of hogs is by en-
couraging more boys and girls to join
pig clubs. In the past these clubs
have been markedly successful. They
have been the means of Introducing
purebred hogs into many commune
ties and raising the standard of hogs
as well as improving the conditions
under which they are kept and the
care given them. The number Of pig
clubs in the Northern states on June
80. 1917, totaled 1887; in the South
the number. of community clubs Is be-
tween 1000 and $500, and in almost
every club are found members Of pig
clubs. Although the number Is large,
1t Is possible to increase it greatly by
forming more clubs in counties where
there are agents to direct properly
the efforts of the young people. In
order to stimulate these activities, the
department during the past year has
added to It's force several pig club
specialists, and a number Of the agri-
cultural colleges have done likewise.
In this work, 1t is of first Importance
that proper instructions be given to
the members in regard to all phases of
swine husbandry so that clubs will be
successful in bringing to market
large percentage Of the pigs under
their care. Clubs should not be. or
ganized unless there is ample assur-
ance that sufficient feed will be avail
able to bring the pigs to maturity.
Swine breeders associations have
been active for a number of years in
assisting pig club members to secure
purebred hogs at reduced prices. This
has made 1t possible for members to
obtain good stock with which to lay
the foundation for herd Of purebred
swine. The result has been the intro
duction into many communities of de-
sirable breeding stock and the stimu-
lation Of more widespread interest in
good quality hogs. Swine breeders
associations doubtless will be willing
to continue in the future the assistance
given to club members in the past.
Bankers in many states have real
lied the value Of pig clubs as means
Of materially improving rural condi-
tions and at the same time increasing

Fairy was awake. "Oh, there Isl" she
scoffed.
Yes. there Is" declared Carol with
day. He stepped into the closet, didn't I
he, Lark?"
"He certainly did" agreed Lark.
Did you see himf"
"No, we heard him. Carol heard
him first, and she spoke, and nudged
me. Then heard him, too. He was
at our dresser, but he shot across the
room and into the closet. He closed
the door after him. He's there now"

lying down again.
