convert into money the things that
would otherwise be lost, and that can
be kept on minimum of bought or
stored feed. Every dollar got out of
that number of hogs is practically
clear profit. Beyond that point the
profit dwindles.
The number Of hogs that can be
profitably kept, is of course, a matter
that each farm family must determine
for itself. In some cases it may be
one SOW. In others it may be six or
a dozen or any number of sows. On
every farm there is some waste that
pigs could convert into money. On
most farms it probably amounts to at
least as much as on the Van Dorm
farm at Pasadena, where, in one year,
the twin boys made one sow produce
enough revenue to buy whole new
set of furniture for mother or to keep
sister in college for year.

POINTS FAVORINC|
new STATE ROADS
TAX OF 20 Cents
Interesting Arguments Fayoring the
New Kentucky Twenty Cent
Road Tax.

1. 1t is very apparent that the
counties need more money for roads
because the cost of everything enter
ing into the construction has in
creased considerably over those in
normal times.
2. 1t is a safer way to raise money
than. by voting bond issue.
8. The people are able to pay FOR
more taxes for roads because they are
in better condition financially. They
can more easily pay zoe today than
they could paid &c ten years ago.
4. The increase in the kind and
volume of traffic has made it neces-
sary to expend more money on roads
now than formerly.
5. 20 cents on the 500, or 50 on the
$1,000 means a of barrel of corn
lbs. of tobacco, 2 lbs. of wool, bu
u of wheat.
6. 20 cents on the 500 would not
mean more than 5 or 10 cents on the
acre of land in an average county
Z. Kentucky is behind in road work
simply because the various counties
have not sufficient money to build
roads. In practically every state in
the Union the people are either voting
bond issues or an extra tax for roads
s. 1t should be remembered that
with bad roads we pay the heaviest
road tax possible because of the in
creased cost of hauling, the deprecia-
ton of all kinds of vehicles, farm ami
mails, etc.

THIS GOOD SOW PAID
A PROFIT OF $685.
Twin Texas Boys Obtain Profit Of $3.50
In Less Than a Year From One
Young Sow.

Washington, D. C.-Three hundred
and eighty-five dollars in less than a
year-that's the clear profit young
SOW gave the Van Dorm boys-twins
who live in Harris county, Texas.
Theorists in farm management and
the like might figure up pretty big
bill of costs against the SOW, to be de-
Quoted from the profit she has made,
but the Van Dorm twins know that
such figures would not tell the truth,
because they've got the money in their
pockets-or they did have it.
The SOW and her progeny did eat
sixteen bushels of corn, worth $24,
and they did range over five acres of
pasture, considered to be worth $25.
These two items, total of $40, have
already been charged to the SOW, de-
Quoted from her gross revenue of $434.
The remaining $685. is clear profit, be-
cause the rest of the feed consisted of
slop and surplus milk that would have
been thrown away had there been no
pigs, and peanuts and sweet potatoes
CLEANED by roofing the patches after
the crops had been harvested as care
fully as possible.
The sow, as pig, was furnished to
the twin boys of w. F. Van Dorm Of
the Pasadena neighborhood by the
agricultural department of the Cham
Der of Commerce of oHuston, Tex. She
narrowed her first litter of pigs April
4, 1918. One died and two were given
in payment for the SOW. The other
four were grown, fattened and killed
to furnish the family supply Of pork
and lard. Another litter of six pigs
came later in the year and are now
on the farm-good-sized shotes in
| first-class condition. The sow will far
row third litter of pigs before long.
The account now stands this way:
The original SOW, $50; six shotes,
$50; 80 pounds of pork, 1924; rs gal
Ions of lard, 500. These four items
make a total of s434 from which
deduction of $40 is to be made for
corn and pasture.
Those figures prove that hog raising
on the farms Of Harris county, Tex,
is profitable. But the caution to be
written at the bottob of the story is:
Do not carry figures too far. Making
figures in 'rithmetic fashion, you
would have this: II one SOW makes
profit Of 1885, one hundred sows would
make profit of s3S,5OO. That is per-
fectly good arithmetic but 1t is not
good farming.
The big profit in hog raising on
Southern farms, the specialists of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture point out, is made where the
farm family keeps enough hogs to con-
sumo all the waste productions, to
