BOYS MAKE FINE PROFIT ON PIGS Actual Test Shows Satisfac tory Results in Good Feeding. Four brothers near Macon, Ga., joined the ham-and-bacon project of the pig club. This meant raising, fattening, and slaughter ing a grade pig. Each brother purchased a pig, and all started in the race to produce the best pig most profitably. The pigs were weighed at in tervals, kept free of lice, and fed regularly and well. The boys wanted cheap gains, so several times a week they drove an old mule to town, sold vegetables they had raised, and brought back the kitchen wastes of the townspeople. These wastes were cooked and fed to the pigs. A little bran and corn and green feed were fed. In the fall the pigs w r ere turned into a field planted in corn and cowpeas. As the pigs were handled and fed under identical conditions, the race was always close. Calamity overtook one of the boys in the sixth month. His pig died. The others continued to grow. They were shown at the district show and the State fair. The race continued to be close, with not more than 20 pounds difference in their weights. Slaughtering time arrived. The boys killed their hogs, which dressed 803 pounds. They were made up into old-fashioned coun try sausage, souse, lard, crack lings, and fresh cuts of pork. The products from the first sold for $39.40; from the second for $41.15, and from the third for $45.25, making a total of $125.80 All the boys made a substantial profit, the gains being put on the pigs at 2.8 cents, 2.1 cents, 2.1 cents, and 3 cents per pound, respectively. The total cost of pigs and feed was $45, leaving a net profit of SBO.BO on the three hogs. A neighbor who had start ed to feed his two pigs at the same time as the boys did, sold them for $43.40. By the use of wastes and green feed, the boys put gains on their hogs at about half the costs of gains made un der the feeding methods usually practiced in their region: Encouraged by the results of their first pig-feeding enterprise, the boys intend purchasing a start toward a herd of purebred hogs. They have found profits in feeding grade hogs on a small scale. They are now going to raise nurebreds on a larger scale. —News Letter Agricultural De partment. Slips From Potatoes. I want to grow 25,000 sweet potato slips. How' many bushels should I bed to get this mffhy slips, and what size bed will it take to grow these. [M. P. R. Georgia. The amount of potato slips produced from a bushel of pota toes varies a great deal. Tho j weather conditions, the kind of j potatoes bedded, etc., causes this. However, it is generally considered that a bushel of the, average size sweet potatoes used for bedding purposes should pro- j duce about 2000 plants. There fore, on this basis, you would need to bed 12£ bushels to get ■ 25,000 plants. A bed 4 feet wide and 45 feet long should accomo-1 date this quantity. Would rec- j ommend, however, that you bed a little more than 12A bushels, ! because it is far better to havej too many plants than riot enough. Os course, far more than 2000 plants may be had from a bushel of potatoes if one is willi.-.g to wait until late in the season to finish setting. As many as 5,000 plants maybe had from a bushel of potatoes, properly bedded and properly handled, but it is doubt ful if it is advisable to figure on securing more than 2000 to 3000. from a bushel.-- Southern Farm ing. 1 Tax Receiver’s Second Round.
