Georgia State Champion Pig
Raiser Was 11-Year-Oid Boy;
Youngsters Start Hog Farms

Swine worth half a million dollars
were raised by Georgia pig club men,
bers during 1918. Four years ago
there were no pig clubs in the state,
but under encouragement from the
College Of Agriculture and the United
States department Of agriculture S,67S
boys in Georgia are now enrolled in
these organizations. Their beneficial
effect on the swine industry of the
state may be judged from a summary
recently received by the department
from its pig club agent in Georgia.
Outstanding progress is reported as
follows:
'"The increase in final value of hogs
raised by pig club boys in 1918 over
those in 1917 was more than 56 per
cent. Pig club boys won 20 ribbons
and $505 in prizes in the open ring at
two Georgia fairs. The increase in
number of pure-bred hogs raised by
pig club boys in 1918 over 1917 was
more than 3O6 per cent. The state
champion was the eleven-year-Old son
of a One-horse farmer who bought his
pig at an auction sale for $3.50. She
is worth $500 today. Six pig club
boys in one county will start hog
farms this year. All of them began
with one small pig"

Capes in great force stand ready to
answer the demand for spring wraps,
having gradually and surely ingratiat-
ed themselves into the likings Of fash
iODable women. Nothing demon
strates better the ineXhaustible genius
of designers than the constantly vary
ing interpretations of the cape which
make it, Just now, the most interesting
of wraps. 1t is shown in unending va
riety.
Capes are long or short, as you will,
but mostly long. They are always full
and naturally loose. But in many new
models the looseness disappears be-
low the knees being restrained by
means of cutting or by confining it
in hem that is rather tight about
the figure. Among new capes for
spring are long and short capes of
taffeta with collars-very ample and
cozy looking, of sweater-weave silks
or wool materials, and Innings that
lend them warmth. Navy silk with
beige-colored Innings and collars is
the favOrite combination. Duvetyn
capes, in navy and marine blues, in
brown, henna and tomato red. convince
one that no other fabric could show
these colors to such advantage. One
of the simpler capes in marine blue
duyetyn is shown in the accompanying

MANURE HELPS FRUIT TREES
Thin Dressing May Be Needed to
Keep Trees in Growing Condi-
tion-PIace Above Roots.

After fruit trees bear q few years.
If the soil was originally thin, a dress
ing of harnyard manure may be need
ed to keep the trees in growing con-
dition and to insure the formation Of
fruit buds. 1t will be required that
the trees grow every year in order
that they may form fruit buds. Since
growth is necessary nitrogen in the
soil will be necessary also. Warm
soil may lack available nitrogen, hence
the need of barnyard manure or COM
mercial nitrogen.
Old orchard soils may need organic
matter. This the barnyard manure
will also supply. There is no other
fertility that will stimulate growth on
trees better than barnyard manure
for it affords both organic matter and
nitrogen
In applying manure to large trees
do not make the mistake of applying
the manure close to the tree, around
the trunk. The young roots where the
plant food is to be obtained for old
trees may be considerable distance
from the trunk of the tree. 1t is q
good practice to spread the manure as
far away from the trunk as the
branches extend, possibly farther
This will provide that the manure Is
above many of the roots that are to
absorb plant food

PLAN FOR BETTER PASTURES
Cut Useless Trees and Remove All
Rubbish and Brush-Top Dressing
of Manure Is Good.

prepared ny the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture.)
Cut or deaden all trees except those
needed for shade, and clear off the
brush and rubbish. Pasture plants can
not compete with timber. One should
decide whether he desires woods or
pasture and act accordingly.
Have the shady places on the higher
parts of the field and not along run
ming streams or around ponds. Much
fertility is lost from grazing lands be-
cause this rule Is not more generally
followed.
Fertilize as you would for a good
meadow. There is nothing better than
an occasional top dressing of stable
manure. This should be applied in the
fall or winter. Acid phosphate and
basic Stag are very efficient in promot-
ing the growth Of tame grasses and
clovers and they in turn tend to crowd
out the weeds. The weed problem IN
closely grazed pastures on rich soils is
practically nothing.
Reseed an old pasture only as last
resort. If pastures in the East fail, it
is usually because of depleted fertility
and not from lack of seed. Reseeding
should be done in a thorough and not
slipshOd manner and only after the
fertility of the soil has been restored.

LAUGHING is A
HEALTH TONIC
Makes More Forceful the Beat
Of the Heart

When the individual laughs the ac-
ton is accomplished by deep, for
chile movement of the chest. This
deep movement increases the rapidity
of the roundabout flow of the scarlet
fluid, makes more forceful the beat OF
the heart, observes an authority, and
by that means brings back the blood to
the lungs at greater pace, and there
fore helps to accomplish q quicker
nourishment of the body and thus
brings mental reaction.
More than mental rest and benefits
to the health of the mechanism, a good
laugh brings with it food for the emo
tional fabric. The physiological action
involved in a hearty laugh stimulates
the emotions and acts in the capacity
of an increased electric current In a
wire by whose force machines are
moved The hairlike capillarieS, so
strained and worked during the course
of busy day, become rapidly emptied
as laughter incites the emotional fbers'
action.
AS the immediate result, there comes
relief to the tubes in the form of a
freshened supply of food. The heavily
congested capillaries and the emotion
al fabric are stimulated, and the body
is enabled to generate new energy,
due to the emotional excitement caused
by a laugh, and you feel regenerated
and capable of carrying on with added
force whatever work you are doing.

improvements Planned for
Oldest Canal in China;
American Will Do the Job

The oldest canal in the world, dating
back nearly $500 years, and also the
longest canal, measuring in the main
section nearly 1000 miles, is that ex-
tending from Hanchow, south of
Shanghai, China, to Peking. Most of
this canal has been filled with mud by
overfiows of the Yellow river, but the
southern portion of it still constitutes
very busy waterway.
The canal is now to be rebuilt and
improved, says Scientific Ameri-
can. The project is too vast to be
done at a single operation, and the
funds are not at hand. At present,
about 100000 are available, and this
sum will be used for the Improvement
of a section about 100 miles in length,
leaving to later date, when funds can
be accumulated, the reconstruction of
other sections. The work is to be un-
dertaken by American engineers.

Who Would Not Agree That
Americanization of Hotel
Menu Would Help a Little? ?

: Americanization of various things is
the topic much discussed now, OBJ
serves Tavern Talk. We read of a
movement in industry to American
ize employees to increase efficiency.
This is tips1ly; why not carry the idea
furthe,.t e once and apply it in the
hotel industry?
A good beginning would be move
ment to eliminate the practice of COM
piling menus, which are a combina-
tion of meaningless French and dis
torted English. Why caviar canape,
when an English equivalent exists ?
Why not clam broth instead of bouil-
Ion? Why grilled when we mean
broiled? Norwegian sounds and looks
as well as Novegienne, and means
something. Pommes julienne with
an English name would taste as
sweet; glace is poor ending for
good sweet potatoes, while demi-tasse
is but the size of the cup, not what
it contains.

Above all things ones millinery
must be kept fresh looking and i'm

millinery materials that are always

processes available at home. Now that
spring is near a becoming straw hat
may only need repolishing, or to have
the trimmings freshened up, to serve
during the early spring and as
change throughout the season.
For colored straw hats there are
dyes which are usually on sale in drug
stores, ready to apply, which will re-
store the color of the straw or change
it to another color. There are several
hats into black ones. Most of these
dyes give the nat a fine luster and it
looks practically new, after dyeing
Often faded hat can be successfully
restored to color by applying the col
Ors mixed with gasoline, as described
in former article. Some hats can be
secured with soapsuds, as leghorn Or
Panama straws. In this case the SudS
is used, but with view to keeping
the straw from getting very wet. To
restore a natural straw color, a hat
may be cleaned with lemon juice and
sulphur. A white straw may be washed
with oXalic acid diluted with water
After leghorn hat has been cleaned
it may be bleached by suspending it
over a burning sulphur candle. Burn
the sulphur in the bottom of barrel
suspending the hat at the top so that
it will not scorch. A felt hat may be
successfully secured with the finest
sandpaper. Ammonia will often re-
store color in colored straw hats.
