Pigs Almost Ready to Root for Them
Jef belonged to a boys club which
had been organized by the county
agent. He was encouraged to raise .
litter of fine pigs under the club sys-
TEN by which the boys applied ap-
proved methods and kept account OF
the results. The pigs sold for fancy
price. JEFF, who had made sure prog
ress, saved some money from his labor
and in 1918 entered the Kentucky
State College Of Agriculture for its
short course.
He had been used to seeing bis moth
er and other women carry water 15O
yards up a hill for washing and cook
ing. At the agricultural college he
realized the convenience and benefit
to be gained by running water conduct
ed to a tap in the kitchen When he
returned home he persuaded his father
to let him put in a water system. A
stand pipe 60 feet high was built with
a 500-gallon tank on top, which gave
sufficient pressure to force water to
the dwelling 400 feet away. He rigged
up a gasoline engine and pump at the
spring under the hill. He had learned
little about plumbing, SO he did all
the pipe fitting In the house. One
months work at odd times, coupled
with little of the knowlege he had
gained at the State College Of Agricul-
ture put the water right into the
kitchen. jeff has gone back to COM
plete his college education; and they're
still raising better pigs at the Ander-
son farm.
