board OF directors. The question Of
holding a sale came up, and the cOun-
ty agent read a letter he had received
from some farmers in another cOm-
munity who wanted to buy stock, and
were coming to Mecklenburgh county
to see what they could get. The d.
r%ectOrs appointed a committee to re-
ceive them and show them around.
THUS this piece of business was
provided for, and placed In the hands
OF the right persons. Otherwise the
county agent would have had to give
up other work he had on hand, and
search for some m to whom he could
refer the visitors, and go with them.
Even then he would not have had the
information so readily available as
these breeders themselves had it.
"In another county l saw a differ
ent thing, which shows how the
ty agent Is loaded down with work
where there is no such organization.
He had succeeded in getting a number
Of farmers in different parts Of the
county to take up pure breeding, and
had placed some good bulls with
them. These sires had now been used
for two years, and a change had to
be made. So the county agent found
1t necessary to hustle around and ar
range exchanges among these farm
ers to keep the good sires at work;
otherwise the owners would have sold
them, and might have neglected to
buy new ones, and might have lost
the use of a good bull. If there had
been a bull association in the county
1t would have attended to the business
Of exchanging. as one Of its regular
functions. and left the county agent
free to take up other important work"

SCRUB PIGS ARE EXPENSIVE
Virginia Farmer Finally Convinced
That Purebreds Are Most
Profitable Animals.

The county agent Of Page county,
Virginia, tried last summer to per-
suade a farmer in his territory to keep
purebred hogs. The man was diff
cult to convince. At the time of the
argument the boys pig-club contest
for the year was just starting. De
spite the arguments which the county
agent made in favor of purebred stock,
the man went ahead and bought four
scrub pigs, saying he did not think
the boys club would do any better
than those he had purchased. He
bought his pigs a month after the club
contest started, and gave them the
best of attention. He b%utchered his
hogs in January. this year, and the
largest weighed 175 pounds gross. The
prize winner In the pig club weighed
$50 pounds. and was fed only a lit
tie over five months. This farmer is
now trying to buy some purebred hogs,
and declares his scrubs cost him more
than twice the amount the meat they
produced would have cost him.

BOYS SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT
What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

The family washing was going
through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady of the house started
to wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due to
a short circuit In the motor. After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in its work,
she was about ready to give up and
wiring them by hand.
"Shucks, mom." said t~hirteen-year-
old Harry, who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin, "IlI bet If you put
on your %rubbers. so the current can't
go on out of your body you won't get
q shock at all"
And when "mom" tried the sugges-
ton she found the embryo electrician
knew what he was talking about, for
she worked in safety while wringing
the rest of the clothes.

FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
Rank Below Good Corn Silage on Ae-
count Of Higher Percentage Of
Moisture In Former.

From the standpoint Of feeding
value for dairy cows, 1t may be said
that potatoes rank below good corr
silage. The latter contains about 28
per cent dry matter and the former,
about 81 per cent. The chemical COM
position of raw potatoes and corn
silage is very similar. Both contain
about l per cent of digestible protein
and between Is and II per cent Of d.
gestible carbohydrates and fats, but
potatoes contain somewhat ore mOis-
ture than well-cured cor silage. Po-
tatoes at SO cents a bushel would
cost $12 a ton, whereas silage is worth
less than one-half that price under
present conditions.
