HOGS FOR THE
DAIRYMAN
Dairy By-Products Make Prof
table Hog Feed

Clemson College, April ,5.-HoSS
can make or break the dalryman
who is selling sour, cream. II he
feeds his skim milk tc his hogs. his
cream check will be clear profit.
If he does not his cream will be
produced at a loss. thinks D. T..
.yerrman, Extension animal nus
bandman, who says that the dairy
man who is not raising hogs. IS
working at decided disadvantage
and the man who is raising hogs
and is not using, all the skim milk
he can get for his pigs, is overlook
ing a good bet.
A leading dairy paper asked its
readers: DO you consider that a
hog herd is absolutely essential on
a dairy farm to realize the most
profit from the by-products Of the
dairy farm?'' OF the answers re-
ceived S0.42 percent said Yes
Butternailk is equal to skim milk
in feeding value if no water has
been added. Both should be pas
teurize9 if secured from q cream
cry, in order to prevent the spread
Of disease, especially tuberculosis, to
which hogs are very susceptible.
Both skim milk and buttermilk
fed alone are too watery and too
rich in protein to produce economi-
cal gains. Just enough should be
used to balance the ration. Up to
that point, the more used the more
rapid the gains. The best proper
tions are: Just after weaning, 4
pounds of milk to pound Of corn;
pigs weighing so to 100 pounds, S
pounds of milk to pound of corn;
pigs weighing 100 to $50 pounds
2 tc 2l2 pounds of milk to /
pound Of corn; pigs weighing $50
to 200 pounds or over, II 70
pounds OF milk 10 1 pound of corn.
Pigs on good pasture or forage
crops Will need less milk 10 balance
the ration.
Skim milk and buttcrmilk carry
a high percent Of mineral matter,
especially calcium and .phosphor-
US. The beneficial effect, OF these
materials on growing pigs in keep
ing them thrifty and building big
ger frames is hard to measure.
However men who have used them
and know their value for bone and
muscle building. realize that their
value is even higher than stated.
especially for young pigs and brood
sows.

MANNING TALKS
OF TEXAS TRIP
Cooperative Marketing of Cot.
ton Gets Results

Columbia April Ok. i. Man
ming has. rctu. ned from a business
trip to Dallas, Fort Worth, New
Orleans and other points in the
southwest and brings heartening
reports as to the efficiency Of the
Cooperative Cotton Marketing as
sociation.
Individual selling Of cotton is
too hazardous and expensive a
lpractice to be longer engaged in
by the grower" Mr.. Manning said
Yesterday.
Il attended a meeting Of the
Texas Cotton association at Fort
Worth and there were exporters,
cotton merchants. business men
from New York and Boston and
government men from Washing
ton, all OF whom were interested
in cotton.
"I found on Investigation that
practically all Of the cotton grow
ers of the rich delta country are
in the cotton cooperative market
ing association and that the asso-
citation has proven profitable to
growers. The members have en-
ployed high class men to manage
the association and. to make the
sales and when export men and
cotton merchants so to the cooper
ative marketing association to buy
cotton, the price is fixed by the
association. Experience has shown
that the growers get two or three
or four cents more per pound than
they would get if they had sold
in the open market.
1T was also said by growers
and merchants that a higher price
was also procured for short cot
ton sold by the cooperative asso-
ciation, though III a somewhat les
ser degree because Of the fact that
a smaller per cent. Of the short
cotton was sold through the as
sociation as compared with the
long delta cotton.
''I asked export men and buy
ers how it was that they gave
more for cotton through the CO.
operative marketing association.
They replied that they gave more
because Of several facts. They
said they would receive orders to
buy a certain quantity Of a certain
grade of cotton. If they bought
in the open market they would
have to purchase considerable
quantity and pick from it the
grade wanted; this would necessi-
tate assembling expenses and other
costs When bought through the
marketing association. they said
the cotton had already been pool
ed and the grade desired could
be bought without delay or eS-
pense Of assembling. In this way,
they were able to pay a higher
price for cotton sold through the
association they said
Mr. Manning holds that the CO.
| operative marketing pan is the
nope OF the growers OF cotton.

United States Public
Health Service
NEGRO Health Week

lie VI ~\oIlOllC4 ~NSSA "
Health Week, April TO s, will this
yea. be that the negro death rate,
as shown by the Census returns, is
not only not increasing but is
steadily decreasing and, moreover,
is no higher today than that OF
New York and Boston was forty
years ago and is only about two
thirds as hiGh as that of Trieste,
Petrograd. Montreal. Venice, and
ether cities at that time.
From this it will be argued that
American negroes are not necessar-
ily short lived or especially liable
to disease and that their death rate
is high because of their compare
tive poverty. Everywhere the col
ored people will be told to look af-
ter their health, that, they are not
doomed by nature to an early
grave, but that by care they can
avoid many Of the ills that lie in
wait for them and policy holders
in one Of the great New York lnsur-
ance companies has been reduced
8 per cent.
incidentally the employers at
tention will be directed to the fact
that it is estimated that in the
states that have a large negro
population 100000 of them are
sick all the time and that 225,00O
thousand die annually: that about
half these deaths would be pre-
vented by better hygienic condi-
tions: and that such saving would
do away with much Of the annoy
ance and industrial loss that now
results from absenteeisna due to III
health.
This years health week, the
eighth to be held, will be conduct
ed by DR.. r. r. Moten, principal OF
Tuskesee Institute, under the aus
pices of the Annual Tuskegee Ne
gro Conference and the Negro Bus
mess League in cooperation with
the u. s. Public Health Service and
many other associations.
The week begins on Sunday,
April ?, with health sermons and
lectures by qualified persons. who
will explain what Health Week is
and will urge cooperation with
organized association and Will eS-
pecia!ly emphasize mother and in
fant welfare work to reduce the
high infant mortality. which is
about double that of the whites

enc education and venereal disease
