FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE
Practical Means of Producing Pork.
According to Department of Agri-
culture Bulletin.

When properly managed, the feed
Ing of garbage to swine is a practical
means Of pork production, according
to Farmers Bulletin 1133 issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
In addition it helps to settle a prob
lem which confronts many cities and
towns-that Of effective and economi-
cal garbage disposal. The wholesome
ness of garbage depends greatly on
the care 1t receives in households. Tin
cans, glass, paper, oyster shells, saw
dust, soap, and other foreign mate
rails when mixed with garbage NAV
cause numerous losses of hogs. But II
has been found that this evil can be
mlnimized by proper precaution and,

The Yellow World.

It is easy to see why China's i'm
periaI color is yellow, writes a cor
respondent from Yangste river. Hell
rivers are yellow, her long plains are
yellow-especially in a famine year
such as this, and as for her seas-the
boundaries of her world-so desert
yellow is their color that a string of
camels crossing them would look more
in keeping than a string of junks.
And so one can understand why the
very heart of the heart of China, the
Imperial city, should lie like SHIN
mering lake of golden tiles within her
lotus-besieged walls. Even against the
evidence of my own eyes cannot be-
lieve that the Great Wall is built of
solid ordinary stones laid one upon the
other. Rathei' it seems moulded out
OF the stuff of which the mountains
themselves we're made, long ago when
the world was plastic and empty of
all save possibilities. There never
was so sinuous a thing as the Great
Wall built by men, think, so sinuous
and so aspiring.

ONE HIGH SCHOOL A DAY
For Twenty-Eight Years That Has

try Has Made.

In a pamphlet on high schools IL
this country, issued by the federal bu
reau of education, it Is stated that the
total number Of these schools in 1917.
is was 1851. The mailing list OF
the bureau includes the names of
1890 high schools. The number
of these schools has increased over
452 per cent since 1890. This means
that one high school has been estab-
lished in this country each day in
each calendar year since 1904 high
school a day for % years.
In 1890 COS per cent of the high
schools were under public control, but
in 1918 the public-controlle. high
schools were 81 per cent of the whole.
The average size of a city high
school is 653 students and of rural
school 50 students.
In 1890 only 312 persons in each
1000 population were enrolled in pub
lie high schools. In 1918 the CORE
spending number was 1916, or almost
five times as great a proportion. Cali

hogs, 1928 head, have been marketed
from the county through cooperative
work, with an estimated saving of ST.
900. In Houston county the depart
ment's representative taught 10 men
to vaccinate hogs. Six sets of instru-
ments owned by the Dothan Rotary
club were supplied to the demonstra-
tors and a misunderstanding point
was established in charge of a reliable
veterinarian. More than 5000 head of
hogs were treated. In many cases it
was found that sickness, other than
cholera, was due to some incidental
cause, such as bad peanut meal, and
balanced rations were advised The
county agents work resulted in 81
farmers establishing pastures to keep
their hogs off the open range, the land
thus pastured being freed from many
noxious weeds by the roofing of the
and prepared for future cult
walton. Forty-four farmers in the
county were interested in stump re-
moving and about 1000 acres of land
was cleared in this movement. About |
i've tons of dynamite was bought for
the purpose largely on the cooperative
plan.
