When we prefer not TO be asked our
occupation. and feel the necessity Of
apologizing whenever we try TO ex-
plain what IT is that we do for a Nv

our employment. If We are doing
work that is honest, that we like. work
that gives us as good a chance as any

There was only one other thought in

He was dimly conscious that the

the bridge, but he was too deeply occu-
pied with his own thoughts to notice
the misplaced rail in the track toward
which the heavy train was whirling
with increasing speed from the down
grade behind. He had just time enough
to jump aside when the engine crashed
through one end of the little bridge

Almost instantly the night air was
filled with cries of hySterical women,
frightened children and the means of

places and carrying the injured TO

Red Cross Pig Club.
In Carroll county, Mississippi, where
the Red Cross Pig club was organized
last year, in which boys and girls as
well as older people were members,
100000 pounds Of pork were produced,
and $4,000 from the sale of the ami
mails was contributed TO the Red
Cross funds. The club had 5000 men,
bers and shipped 80 cars of hogs to
market. AS a result Of the work of
this club the people Of the county have
become enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties Of raising hogs. They are max
ing a study of economical feeds, the
use of tankage and self-feeders. and
some of the members succeeded in
producing as high as lis pounds in
gain on their hogs in q single month.
By no means must live stock produc-
ton be allowed to lag. This is the
best judgment of those who have stud
led the situation and who know that
it is reasonable to look forward to the
continuation of the European demand
for meats after the close of the war.
Boy and girl pig club members will
play an important part in meeting this
demand, for they are learning how to
raise better animals and produce
gains economically, and many of them
Will be leaders in the industry OF the
future.

American boys and girls were not
| sIackerS when 1t came to answering
the nations call for an increased pro-
duction of food. About two million
boys and girls were connected with
the agriculture and home economics
clubs last year. OF this number more
than eighty thousand were enrolled in
pig clubs, organized and conducted by
the United States department of agri-
culture and state agricultural colleges.
OF the number who completed the
years work and made reports II per
cent raised purebred pigs. Their rec
OrdS show that they know how to put
fat on porkers, for more than twelve
thousand pigs belonging to these juve-
nile club members made daily aver
age gain of LA pounds weight, which
Is considerably above results obtained
on most farms
Under the supervision of 40 depart
ment specialists, in addition to county
agents and local club leaders, these
boys and girls are learning the funda-
mentals of hog raising and are becom-
ing interested in agriculture. They
are taught all phases of the hog indus
try and are making good in raising
pigs and making economical gains.
Many of the club members are
teaching their fathers how rapid and
economical gains can be made in rails
ing pigs. The members of the two
De Kalb county Undiana) pig clubs,
under the direction of the local cOun-
ty agent, have been able to almost
double the results obtained by their
fathers within the same length OF time
and feeding pigs of the same litter.
The boys used self-feeders and the
fathers did not; and the pigs which
were allowed to select their own feed
made gains of two pounds day. The
club members have proved beyond
question the merits of the Self-feeder,
and hog raisers in the locality of many
years experience are beginning to
copy the boys methods. AS result
of the club work the county agent re
ports many fathers and sons are now
planning to go into partnership and
raise purebred hogs.

Self-Feeders Profitable.

AS result of an increased pork pro-
duction campaign carried on by county
agents and farm bureaus in Maine 745
self-feeders were built last year and
1900 more hogs were raised in the
state than during the previous year.
Farmers who used self-feeders kept
more hogs than they could otherwise.
which suggested that the self-feeder
be made the basis of campaign for
more pork Building bees" or dem
onstrations, We're conducted and self
feeders were built with the help of
the boys and their parents, and par
ticular emphasis was placed on the adj
vantage of using self-feeders in con-

That boy and girl pig club members
are making big records In fattening
their animals Is shown by a report of
the work In Ames, Iowa. One Ames
club boy made a gain of go pounds
day on his pig for period of 123
days; another. 2.26 pounds a day, and
20 members succeeded In making an
average daily gain Of more than two
pounds. Frank 0. Reed, the pig club
leader at Ames, says that this is the
best record, from the standpoint of
rate of gain, that the members have
ever made. He also reports that some
excellent gains and unusual profits
were made in fattening beef, and that
