HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculiure)
An important result IF hOg-chOlera
control work which has resulted in
steady decline of the disease, has
been the stimulus given the develop
ment of swine raising in the South
With other activities of the depart
ment in this line, the assurance given
to Southern farmers that hogs can be
produced without fear of losses from
cholera has encouraged growing not
only larger numbers Of animals but
also better types. This has been no
ticeable particularly in Georgia. 4
few years ago that state purchased
about 100000 pounds of pork more
than it produced annually. But eff
forts for the control of hog cholera
have gradually extended over the en-
tire state, with resulting confidence in
hog raising By 1918 Georgia wa:
producing pork enough to make ship
ments to outside points besides sup
plying a large number of hogs to loca
slaughtering establishments. Simila
progress has been made in MissisSip

SACRIFICED BOY FOR DONKEY
Chinese Father Forced to Choose Be-
tween Giving Up His Son and
the Drest Poverty.

Some years ago a Chinaman was
confronted with the problem of secur
ing q donkey, without available means
TO purchase it with. He had number
of children and would not be able to
support them unless he could secure
the animal with which to work in his
attempt to keep starvation from his
door.
On bordering the matter he decided
that the donkey could serve his pur-
pose better than could any one of the
children in the family. He therefore
arranged an exchange, giving a son
of his into slavery that he might gain
possession of the animal as means
of support for the rest Of his family
It happened that the lad was rescued
from the life of slavery and placed ia
a Methodist institution.
Quite recently one of our Methodist
missionaries had occasion to address
the student body of a large Chinese
school. His interpreter won his ad-
miration by his quickness and by his
accuracy, and he inquired into the
matter. The missionary discovered
that this was the little boy who had
at one time been exchanged for q
donkey, grown into young manhood
and beginning q professional career
of large usefulness to that community
OF his needy people.-The Methodist.

ROAD >
BUILDING
BENEFITS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Among Other Things They Cheaper
Cost of Transportation of Farm
Products to Market,

Good roads promote self-respect in
community. They make possible
social intercourse. They bring the
benefits of churches and schools with
in the reach of all. They help to keep
the boys on the farm. They cheaper
the cost of transportation of farm
products to the markets and thus add
to the farm profits. They add to the
value. of farm lands much more than
they cost. They mark the degree OF
civilization of the rural community.
This, in short, is the value of good
roads as seen by the extension service
of the University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture.

Grants amounting to $5O,OOO,OOO will
be distributed by the British road
board for the reconstruction of roads
and bridges in England in 1919. De
modified army units will be used to
do the labor. Local highway authori
ties will be required to match this
appropriation by at least as large a
program of road work as they carried
out in the year before the war; Area
taken into consideration, England's

Good Roads Like This Bring Farmer
Nearer to City Markets.

What are the things to be considered
in locating the road? What grade
should be maintained? How should
the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction?
There are a few questions answered
in extension circular 68 dealing with
country roads.
locating road are: Easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directnesS and the number of farms to
be served for a given length Of road.
Whenever possible to avoid it, a good
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been in
use for some t&me. If the location of
a used road is bad it should be
changed if possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades
The grade Of the road is important
for on this depends the weight of the
load which can be hauled economically.
By grade is meant the rise or fall in
feet for each 100 feet in horizontal
length of road, usually expressed in
percentage. A 5 per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls feet each
100 feet along it's center line It has
been calculated that on smooth coun-
| try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require two on a
3 per cent grade, three on 10 per cent
grade and four on 10 per cent grade
Engineers usually figure a per cent
grade as maximum.
Road work in Missouri has not beer
as well managed as other public work
Projects have been too narrowly lin
tied to localities. resulting in frag
mentary effort. Skilled locating an(
supervision of construction have beer
generally lacking. The remedies are
First, a wider cooperation and thu
adoption of broad schemes Of improve
ment, preferably with units no smalle
than counties. Second, the absolut
elimination Of political consideration
in the spending of money. Third, sc
curing good engineering advice in tn
preparation of plans and requiring
careful engineering supervision of COZ

Pius Fooled the Butchers.

Three hundred pigs were on a San

turned upon theft drivers, put them to

marine, out on q boat drill, pursued
them in the manner of whale fishers,

succeeded in pulling some of the sail

Since 1913 when the United States
department of agriculture began work
to control hog cholera, the dreaded dis
ease has become less and less destruc-

federal veterinarians has been main

state authorities in charge of quaran-
tine and other regulatory measures

work. During the fiscal year 1918 more

How great a menace hog cholera has
