I ) j Hog Raising in the South. The following item which ap peared in the Sparta Ishmaelite of a recent date, is one worthy the attention ot trie Tanners ot Newton ! county, and especially is this true j when we recall the fact, that right here in Covington within the past ! 12 months we have heard frequent demands for hogs, and our people were unable to supply the demand. ^is is not as it should be, and we trust that in the future they w ■ ill at least be able to supply tae de TOan d which exists in Covington, The item spoken of, is as follows : "Hog raising in the south under the stimulus of better markets brought about in large measure by the establishment of southern pack eries. is assuming such proportions as bid * fair to rival if not surpass *11 other branches of farm Indus tr 5 r - A few years ago under the almost exclusive reign ofKingCot ton, farmers as a rule contented themselves with the production of a scant supply for home consump¬ tion, and A large number not even that. Now*, conditions have so changed that nearly all are'not only supplying the home needs, but many are making the raising and 1 narketing of hogs the main source of income. By converting the surplus grains into hog products they are enabled to greatly lessen the cost of trans portation, besides realizing higher prices than is paid on the markets for the corn, oats, barley and even wheat in many instances. When one is raising a few hogs for home consumption o-ifcaa one of less ngWife attention to the pro of meat with the coveted alternated with the , of fat of lean, so much talked of, but when it comes to raising hogs as a means of getting our entire surplus grains to market at lower prices, we want produce the hogs that bring us tho most clear money for our labor and investments. The quality ot a hog is deter mined by its fitness for the purpose for which it was created, or is now being raised, The purpose for which hogs are grown in this age is for the money there is in the business, and the quality of the hog must be determined by its capaei ty to produce profit. A bunch of hogs weighing from to 250 pounds, fat and sleek, 200 gently arched, with broad backs, broad, round hams, nice heads, I even sizes and colors, making an VOL. XXVI No. 26. attractive appealance, will always command the highest prices, In order to produce that type of hogs it is necessary to strike an average between the extra large and coarse * i,xl m >av ; 5 kiiuTl fancy type. The experience of feeders and others is that hogs of this size at eight or nine months old cost less per pound than .hose that are lar ger and heavier. Now, it is plain that the animals that will produce just the class of hogs that will, under good care and attention, fill the requirements enumerated above, or that for which the buyer will pay the highest price, are the ones of highest quality. A sow that will raise eight pigs that with good attention and feed ing will weigh 200 pounds at eight months old, at present prices, would be worth about five cents per pound, or eighty dollars. An other, raising the same number of pigs and under the same treatment, weighing 150 each at the same age, would bring about four and one half cents, or fifty-four dollar, a difference in favor of the first of twenty-six dollars, which is prac tically the difference in value of the two sows, for only one litter. If there were two litters per year the difference would be fifty-two dol lars. This shows that the quality °f tbe berd * s °f brst importance ; size may be governed by the abil ity °f tbe owner, y t ..„icon- 1 The Problem much of ♦ » serious _. t xx: ht on the question of what young girl shall do to win sue Formerly it was .1 the tw »> that occupied the attention and gtudy of mora i} sts and teachers. | fiut thc girl problem—not the one kitchen—is looming up as ^ t jj C 1H ost important ques ^ of tlie times and threatens to Qns discus complete } y overshadow the Q f w j ia t to do with the boys. it is interesting to note the opin ions D f some of the brightest wo men upon this question as diselos ed in recent symposium, “ No a matter how wrapped up a girl may be in her ambitions, let her by all means marry anyway, j y says Dr. Holnies Smith.

Carse declares that a 4 ( girl cannot succeed in business while married, I » **««« Ou.. girls should make their choice be tween the home life and the active business or professional life, » > It is very clear from all the ex pert opinion that it is the plain du ty of girls to get married. At least they cannot hope to manage a husband and a business success fully at the time. Matrimony and business are incompatible. 1 here must be a choice between the store or the office and the home, All this is very well for the girls who are privileged to make a choice between matrimony and business, Unfortunately there are not enough marriageable young men to go around even if they were all disposed to embrace mat rimony. Under these conditions the great field of industrial and professional opportunity becomes alluring to ambitious young women. Itis fu tile to present to them the duty of marriage when there is a dearth of matrimonial offers.
