ORGANIZE PIG CLUBS OVER THE SOUTH Department of Agriculture Plans to Reduce Cost Os Living. Boys’ “pig clubs” are being organized in the South by agents of the Department of Agricul ture to increase the supply of pork and encourage the breeding of good hogs, with a view to striking another blow at the high cost of living. “In organizing the Boys’ Pig Club,” says Secretary Houston, “it is the purpose of the depart ment to establish clubs in every Southern State. The Animal Husbandry Division is co-operat ing with.the Farmers’ Co-opera tive Demonstration Office in the Bureau of Plant Industry, and has already established clubs in Alabama and Louisiana, and the movement is under way in Geor gia. “It is the purpose of the de partment to have every member of the club encourage not only an increased production of the swine family, but a better' breed of pigs than is being raised at pres ent. It is a serious purpose the officials of the department are engaged in —one that is aimed at the high cost of living. “The production of pork is not keeping pace with the increased population, and something must be done to harmonize these two elements. If each member of the club—and they will be grow ing, it is expected, all the time will see to it that one more pig, and a better pig, is produced each year, then a long step will have been taken in meeting the ever growing chasm between pork production and increased population.” Seminoles in Florida. Among the visitors to the gala week festivities at Jacksonville, Fla., was Billy Bowlegs, a Semi nole Indian, whose home is in the Everglades of Florida. To say that Billy attracted much attention would not be an exaggeration. He was dressed in the holiday garb of his race, his large red turban was orna mented with real ostrich plumes and circled by a band of beaten silver. He wore a tunic of bril liant colors and leggins made of deer skins, ornamented with del icately cut thongs, forming a fringe to the ankle, where it was met by the moccasin, which cov ered a foot shapely and small. Billy is a shrewd observer. He has a keen business sense. His pockets bulge with letters from New York buyers of skins and otter hides. He has a mercan tile mind, too, buying, for in stance, four shalws for $1.75 that would retail at 50 cents each. He will sell out to the tribe with the satisfactory, remark, “Twenty five cent me make ’em.” Around the campfires these winter evenings the men, as well as squaws and pappooses, will listen to his account of the Jack sonville trip, and many a laugh will go around at the expense of the paleface. Each member will get an adequate idea of what the printing press is, for Billy was shown all the workings of the large daily. —Forest & Stream. Don’t Depend on Cotton. Within the last few years sev eral of the most progressive Houston county farmers have gradually withdrawn their al legience to cotton as the king of the farm. Without exception these farmers have made good, securing good profits each year, where theretofore they had bare ly made “both ends meet.” This year the oat harvest in the spring and the peavine hay harvest in the fall have combined to bring | more cash than could have been secured from cotton at a bale per acre. Os course there were corn, potatoes, peanuts and hogs and other crops to provide for beast as well as man. —Perry Home Journal. The Thanksgiving Turkey Trains. The Thanksgiving and Christ mas turkey shipments from East Tennessee last year totalled prob ably 250,000 birds, and represent ed roughly half a million dollars. There were numbers of carload lots shipped from this territory, but the more important ship ments were assembled at Morris town, Tenn., and hurried to Bal timore, Philadeldhia and New York by special trains. The largest single shipment was a train of 34 cars, which went through to New York for the Thanksgiving market. A special turkey train which left Morris town, Wednesday night, Dec, 18, reached New York the following Saturday morning, with 30,000 birds to supply the Manhattan demand. The Old Slave Market. In the middle of the principal thoroughfare of the town of Louisville, Ga., stands one of the most historic little structures in America, the old slave market. Louisville was the first permnent capital of Georgia, and the old slave market was erected soon after the first government build ings were built in 1786. The planters in the neigbor hood were large slave owners, some of them old soldiers who were given extensive tracts of land for service in the war with England, and the erection of such a building can be readily under stood was almost a necessity in this remote period of our history. The best quality of post oak was used in this structure, and now, after standing long past the century mark, it is in perfect preservation. Indeed, it is diffi cult to even drive a nail into the tough fibers of the old wood. While the old slave market serves no practical purpose, it is an interesting memorial, for it is one of the few, if not the only one of its kind, which remains to remind us of those faraway days, when the old regime of slavery held sway in the old South.
