NEW JERSEY FORMED FIRST
TEMPERANCE SOCIETY in U. :.

The first American temperance So
ciety was formed in New Jersey IN
1906. Did Jersey tightening cause 1t!
Some say yes.
The first international women's |
temperance congress was opened In
Philadelphia forty-three years this
month, inaugurating a movement
which has since gained world wide
influence and which has chased
LIQUOR from these United States.
The temperance crusade Of the fair
sex had its origin in Hillsboro, Ohio
in 1873, and the following year the
National Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was organized in Cleve-
land. The infant society almost i'm
mediately began preparations for a
world congress of the fair foes OF
rum to be held at the Centennial Ex-
I hibition in Philadelphia in 1875, anc

Produce More Pork by Increasing
If every farmer in the United
States wha raises hogs-and appfoXt-
mately rs per cent of the six mil
lion seven hundred thousand odd
American farms do raise hogs
would decrease mortality to the eX-
tent of 1 pig to the litter, the an
nual increase in the crop of young
squealers would be 5,025,000 head.
If they were all raised and mark
eted at $50 pounds apiece, the yearly
increase in pork production would be
1856, 25O, 900 pounds. According to
the United States department OF
agriculture, experienced and careful
hog growers rails about pigs out or
each litter, while the average porker
tween narrowing and marketing,
there is a loss of 3 pigs a litter on
the average farm.
Successful management of the fall
hog crop, as recommended by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. involves careful feeding. OF
the sows previous to narrowing,
comfortable sanitary quarters for
dams during narrowing, careful at
tention not to overfeed the sows and
thus induce digestive disorders
among the young pigs, and efforts to
develop in the pigs large, bony
framework rather than fat. AIDE
Iuate housing WHICH IlIOI oGSHIy

against wind, rain, s!eet, and snow
is essential, and despite high prices
of building material it should be
provided If not already available.
Although feeds are high in price it
is necessary to feed the SOW and
pigs both adequately and well.
Fortunately, the price of pork on the
hoos is such as to render the two
squares and plenty of filler a day"
a profitable investment.
Sanitary Surrounding for Sows

rescue the pigs from freezing. Be
fore the pigs are placed with their

Give the sow plenty of warm water
for the first "a hours unless neces-
sary, and then provide a thin slop Of

be fed lightly for" the next or
days and should not be put on full

between the pelvic bones, two bones
which are felt as points on either side
of the back. In the case of hens
which are laying, the pelvic bones

the fingers between the pelvic bones
and the end of the keel. In the case
of the smaller birds, such as the
white LeghornS, the spread of abdo-
men is usually three fingers or more,
while with the larger birds, such as
the Plymouth Rock, the spread is
four fingers or more. The laying hen
usually has an abdomen which is
softer. and more flexible, and feels
a COW. When the hen is not laying
the abdomen is harder and more con-

Consider Ell Factors
Any hen that shows signs of sick
ness, or generally debilitated condi-
! ton, should be culled from the flock.
In forming an opinion as to whether
or not the hen is laying sufficiently
well to favor her retention in the,
| flock for another season or so, it
| is not advisable to place too much
| Importance on any one of the factors
discussed above, but rather to sum-
Marie the appearance and produc-
| ton qualities of each bird rather
than to rely on any one symptom as
a cause of culling certain birds frorb
| the flock.
Generally it is desirable for the
owner to practice continual culling
in the case OF the young stock; that
is, to dispense with the undesirable
fowl as often as they are discovered
! during the frequent and regular ham
ding of the birds. All pullet which
are unthrifty. sickly or not doing
well should be culled from the flock.

| ticed in the selection of the flock

it is easy to examine the plumage

summer and early fall, while poor
producers will show straw-colored

was a young deer.
He was found swimming around in
the trap, apparently unable to get
out. He was pursued and finally cap
tured and taken ashore to a fish
house, where he created a great din
in his efforts to escape.
1t was finally decided to let him
go, but he had to be captured again
and his legs tied, which was quite
a task. Then he was taken to the
woods in the rear of the town and

rye heads hurt the hogs grazing on II
so long? What is the best variety OF
oats to SOW!
The best varieties of clover to
use in your section of the state In
lots to be grazed down by hogs
would be burr clover, white clover
and alsike clover. Red clover could,
of course, be substituted for one OF
these in some favored locations.
We do not think it would be de-
sirable or practicable to put alfal-
ia in such a mixture Where one at
tempts to establish alfalfa 1t is
much better to SOW it by itself on
a properly prepared and fortified
piece of land. It can be grazed
to some advantage in Georgia by
hogs, but it yields so much hay If
properly handled of such high
commercial and nutritive value that
we are inclined to think we would
prefer to cut it and use it for hay
rather than merely to Craze it down
by hogs.
In south Georgia rye is largely
grazed in all stages of growth and
we have not heard of it's proving in
furious to hogs in any way. There
fore, we would not hesitate to use
1t in the manner you have indicated.
Crimson clover could be used with
any of the cereals mentioned if
you prefer. 1t is an annual, and
does quite well in this section of
the state. If planted it owuld
probably make you more grazing in
a short period of time than any of
the other clovers mentioned. White
and alsike clover grow very slow
ly, as you doubtless know. and it
takes some time to establish burr
clover. Crimson clover needs to be
seeded in the fall so as to make
a good growth before cold weather
sets in. 1t combines very we'll with,
and gives good bottom to wheat,
Dat and rye pastures, however, as
we know from experience had here
at the college farm. We have COM
bined crimson clover with rye and
hairy vetch to good advantage at
times. Our experience leads us to
think, however, that it is not nee
essary to use more than one Iegume
with the cereal. Crimson clover, of
course, produces a sort of bearded
head and you could not allow hogs
to craze on 1t after it begins to
flower. This is an important fact
to bear in mind
We do not think there is any
better variety of oats for cultiva-
ton in Georgia than Texas rust
proof or fulghum. Georgia red
wheat has proven very satisfactory
and Abruzzi rye probably does as;
well IN your section as anything you
could undertake to cultivate.
