make the live stock comfortable. Near
ly every farm is shy a building or two
and most farms need more fencing
fences for range, health and pasture /;
barns and stables for storage and win
ter feeding.
Economy in business often means
spending money for necessary improve
ments. If animals require all their
feed to keep them alive and warm,
then the grain is being burned for fuel
while the animals are not lettering
their condition. Time may not be
much Of an object to the animal, but it
Is to the owner.
Before the time of good farm build
ings, grain sold for little money and a
great deal Of it was wasted between
| the field and the cash returns. Increase
in the value of live stock has changed
the whole farming business. When
corn is cheap. instead of feeding it into
a heating stove, farmers feed 1t to cat
tie and hogs.
Factories Of all kinds must throw
out good machinery that is little the
| worse for wear, because new processes
have been invented and the manufac-
turer is obliged to keep up with the
times. The farmer is effected by SINH
lar conditions and must be ready to
meet them just as quickly as the manu-
facturer adjusts himself to changes in
his field.

Prizes for Largest Contributions.
In one shipment of poultry and eggs
800 contributors pooled their produce.
Most of them were small producers,
contributing only a few chickens and
two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate
interest a $50 prize was offered for the
largest load, S. for the largest single
amount produced by the contributor,
SIS for the heaviest hen and S. for the
heaviest rooster. The heaviest hen
weighed eight pounds and the heaviest
rooster ten pounds. The largest single
offering sold for 5000. while the
largest load brought $132.25. The whole
shipment amounted to $1,956.2O. 1t
went to a Tennessee point and was the
first cooperative carload Of poultry
shipped from the state.

A good supply of clean, fresh water
should always be at hand for dairy
cows. Much water is needed for the
hlgh-prOducing mich COW owing to the
nature of her product, about 81 per
cent Of which Is water. 1t should be
handy at all times, and in the winter,
II the tank Is outside, heat should be
applied to take the chill off the water.
Cows will drink more water If warmed
to 60 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit than if
made to drink ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that will
keep water at proper temperature,
thereby saving feed and energy of the
animal. 1t is cheaper to warm ice wa
ter than to allow the Cow to warm it
with high-priced feed.

women with their poultry and egg
produce? Why not carlot shipments of
poultry and eggs, allowing contribu-
lions in any amounts. from the small

The county agent responded by going
to his office and ordering circulars nm
nOuncing that a cooperative shipment
of poultry would be made a few days
later. 1t was n new and untried idea
In Carroll county, but he believed 1t

fighting congressman" says last week
that "if" Mr.. Lever of South Caro-
lima should retire from the house,
and 'if" the Democrats should con-
troll the next house, our hard fighting
congressman will automatically" be-
come chairman of the agricultural
committee.
That is exactly correct. The word
automatically describes it well. Not
by any reason of fitness would he be
made chairman of this committee,
but just by reason of having been a
member of that committee longer
than any other Democrat on it.
This is one of the automatic" rules
of congress that ought to be changed.
The country has already suffered
much by reason of these automatic" /"
promotions. Some of the chairmen
of great committees in congress to-
day, know and care about as much
about the business as a hog does a
bout Sunday.
We do not say that "our hardfight-
ing congressman" does not know any
thing about farming. We understand
he owns quite a large estate up near
the Tennessee line, and the National
Reservation, where the government
has built lot of nice roads, but we
do say there is or ought to be some
one On that committee who knows a
lot mere about farming than he does.
And Furthermore, the chaaman of
the agricultural committee should not
be automatically elected, but should
be selected by reason of some special
fitness for the place which we do not
believe "our hard fighting congress
man" possesses.

HOW TO RAISE A PIG

The best place to raise a pig is on
a bermuda pature, one that has good
shade and running water, if you have
no pasture nor running water, then
pick a shady place and make the lot
as large as you can.
Raise crops to cut for your pig and
have special trough to keep drinking
water in. Remember hog is more
than half water.
Feed peanut meal, one half; shorts,
one fourth; bran, one fourth; or nine
parts of shorts and one part of tank
age (meat meaD. You can use vel
vet bean meal in the place of bran,
but if you do, be sure to soak the
meal ten hours. Don't use corn if
you can avoid it until the pig is near
ly grown, if you do feed it, use one
part of tankage to nine parts of corn.
Of course buttermilk is fine, use a
little bit of shorts or peanut meal with
it. Make all slops so they will pour
easily.
Make a pet of your pig, it will do
better. Don't cook the feed, it does
not pay. Don't sour the feed. Don't
feed dish water. Use table scraps
dry. Make slop of clean water.
To control scours and worms and
to give the pig big bone, keep some of
this mixture before him all the time:
Mix one peck of charcoal, one peck
of wood ashes, one half gallon of
lime, one quart of salt; dissolve one
half pound of copperas in the water
and sprinkle this over the mixture.
Keep the lice off by using black oil
on the pig, or dissolve one bar soap
in a gallon of water and add a pint
of kerosene oil, rub the pig well with
this and repeat in one week. This
will also clean the pig and be good
for the hair and skin.
To make q good hog, get a good
pfg and take the right care of it.

County Agent.
