Better Hogs and Better Feeding.

There are two factors in con-
nection with the hog business
which are always of extreme i'm
portance,-O quality of hogs
fed, and (2) quality of feeding
done. However, under the IN
fortunate conditions of high
priced feed and low priced hogs
which have existed during the
past six months, the two factors
mentioned have become even
more important than before. In
other words, the man who has
fed good hogs and has done good
feeding has been able to pull
through the hog market slump,
so far, in fairly good shape; but
the farmer who has been feeding
an inferior grade of hogs in a
common, inefficient way has lost
money, and the more he has fed
the more money he has lost.
There never has been a stronger
argument for better hogs and
better feeding than the exper-
fence of the past six months.
1t is impossible to say too much
in favor of better hogs. In fact,
quality in all classes of livestock
is of extreme Importance, good
quality often being responsible
for the difference between profit
and loss in the feed lot. Good
hogs are more efficient users of
feed than poor ones; that is, any
certain amount of feed put into
good hogs will make more pork
than if feed to poor hogs. Ii
some way, which is difficult tt
explain, the good hog is able tt
digest, assimilate and store il
the form of fesh in its own body

terials from the feed than tn

Dry Enforcement Bill is Advanced
In State Senate.
(By J. Sherman Porter)

Frankfort, KY, March |. The
Senate Committee on Alcoholic
Liquors has favorably reported
the liquor enforcement law,
which passed the House by more
than 2 to 1, and it has been ad-
vahced to the point where it will
require only few days to send
it to the Governor unless it is
amended, in which case it would,
of course, go back to the House
for concurrence in the Senate
amendments and might get lost
in the legislative shuttle, as the
Rules Committee of both sides
will be in charge of all legisla-
ton this week.
It is said to be improbable that
any attempt will be made tc
amend the bill in the Senate.

On February 5th, the death

I. Willin, and took his beloved
wife, Mrs. Hattie within. after a
severe illness of pneumonia of
about two weeks suffering.
The deceased was A years old
last June, which made her full
age at time Of death, A years
and almost 8 months. She had
been a member of the Zion Bap-
fist church for about q years
and had been a consistent mem.
Der all that time. Those who
had known her all the time judg-
ed her as a true christian lady.
She and her husband had been
married about 10 years, and this
union was blessed with 3 chill
dren, Mark, aged IS, Lambert,
aged Is, and Olive, aged 10.
Sister Willin was a quiet lady
with not many words. She was
industrious and kind about her
home. The bereavement was
worse because the husband and
oldest son were confined at the
time of the death and were pre-
vented from attending the fu-
neral and burial. They were
were both confined with pneu-
monia. The deceased was taken
to the home of Mrs. Fannie
Montgomery. Feb. 6, and Rev.
L. ]. B. Smith conducted funeral
services in the presence of a
goodly number of relatives and
neighbors. He delivered a COM
forting sermon from John 10: 81

lection of Christ for his children
which he called sheep. After
funeral services the remains
were deposited in the Montgom.

mother was sick and could not
be present at the time. The
husband and children are not
christians. Mr.. WiIlin in a per-
sonal conversation with the writ

to be christian and be prepared
to meet the companion again.

should be made of the boar and
his Importance as sire. The
present day slogan is Use a
pure-bred boar" This should
be changed slightly.
The Slogan should be, "Use a
Good pure-bred boar" There
are pure-bred scrubs (this ap-
plies to all classes of animals, as
well as other kinds of scrubs.
The fact that a boar is pure-bred,
even though he may be register
ed, does not mean that he is
necessarily a good animal or a
good sire. A good, pure-bred
boar is the kind to seek and the
kind that sows should be mated
with. A common boar should be
given no consideration as a
breeder. The quicker he is sent
to the shambles, the better.
The above discussion relative
to better hogs is very true and
highly important, and yet it will
benefit a man but little to get
better hogs if he will not feed
them properly. The two, better
hogs and better feeding,-must
go hand in hand for best results,
on the whole, hogs are not fed
as well IS they could be with but
little extra effort and actually
less expense. This is quite true
in some sections of Kentucky, es-
pecially in the Eastern part. 1t
is safe to say that much pork
produced on Eastern Kentucky
farms is produced at an actual
loss, costing farmers more than
it would to buy in.
Corn, mast, kitchen waste and
grass are the foods commonly
