. GRADY COUNTY PMQGRKSS, CAIRO, GliiOKUlA. FARM DEPARTMENT Conducted by P. H. Ward, Farm Demonstration Agent E1G □U Bristles Give the young pigts a low trough. Eating oyer a high trough makes the back crooked. A pig with a crooked back never seems quite thrifty. Be sure that the master pigs don’t get most of the feed. Better separate them and give the smaller ones an even chance. All pigs should be in a pasture with a good shelter and dry bed. Shead is a necessity for the comfort of the hogs. If any sows are to farrow during the hot weather, the nest should be in a cool, shady place. The pasture with a good shelter is a better place tliuli the average pig house. Be sure that the beds have clean short straw. The nest should be on a platform just off the ground to insure its being dry. Pigs turn money quickly and it pays to give them a chance If pigs arc handled properly, they simply grunt and grow nnd put money in your pocket. Exercise is a necessity for the proper growth of pigs. Keep the pigs growing every minute; any check in growth cuts the profits short. Heavy pork is not wanted in the markets as in years gone by.

WH Searcy, V-President and Cashier weighing from 150 to 200 pounds top the market. In some markets lighter pork than that is sought for. Grown quickly, with a streak of lean and a stiicuk of fat, fills the bill. Growing pigs in the pasture with plenty of exercise develops this kind of pork and bacon. More breakfast bacon is used every year.—Farm Journnl. , Yearlings Sell For $57.78 Each Meat Curing House Adapted For Use In The South Thousands of pounds of heg meat arc lost by the farmers of the South each season on account ol the fact, that the temperature does- not reach a sufficiently low degree and remain there long enough for the meat to become thoroughly chilled. Realizing this condition is costing the people of the Second District hundreds of dollars each year, Congressman Park brought the matter to the attention of the bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture and urged that a Bulletin be prepared for free distribution, containing specific instruction for the building of meat curing houses, out of ma terials easily within reach of any fanner, at small cost, which will enable them to kill and cure then meat at any time they choose dur ing the winter season by the use of a few dollars’ worth of ice. Plans are now ready for distri bution for constructing “commun it.y meat curing houses” with f capacity of 200,000 pounds oi more, which may be built by twe or three farmers in a neighborhood and used jointly by them. The Bulletin giving information foi building smaller houses, o r ice boxes, for individual use is being prepared and will be ready for dis tribution in November. Judge* Park will supply copies to all who desire them. The Honorable Mr. Hog. Not Pretty But Useful Former Secretary of Agriculture for the state of Kansas, F. D. Co burn, pays the following tribute to the hog in a recent adelrcss at Co lumbus, O.: “Hogs pay taxes, clothe the fami ly, send the children to school, and make possible the development of new homes. They have provided the food for the Anglo-Saxon race. Without them Chicago would be a prairie village, Kansas City, a bar ren hill, and Hmaha a ferry cross ing. Take away the sow and our banks would close and the wheels of commerce cease. The pig is a quiet, inoffensive Christian sort of animal, symbolic to a greater extent of the peaceful virtues for which our nation is so conspicuous, than is the roving piratical eagle. The snout convert ing the soil is a symbol of peace and industry. The pig is a thrifty animal, turning io good account everything which comes his way and a far better representative of the American character than the roving, robbing eagle. The hog is a condenser; he is a» manufacturer of hams, hash and head cheese, lard, illuminating oils hair-brushes, glue, buttons, bacon bristles, fertilizers, fats, knife-hand les, whistles, soap, souse, sidemeat saddle covers and sausage. He i: a mint, and the yellow corn of our country is the bullion he change^ into golden coin.” Constipation is the sterling point for many serious diseases.

South Georgia folks arc so nc- customcd to yeurlings selling for from three to ten dollars each that the following extract from the weekly market letter of Clay Rob inson Co., is rather more than some of them will be inclined to accept at its face vulue. When Grady connty gets a good number of those first class bu’s scattered over the county we will be getting prices like that for our yearlings. And who will question that we can raise a yearling both easier and cheaper than we can a bale of cotton. i “Our sales of southern cattle Mon day included a load from Morton C. Crabb, Hale, county Alabama, including 14 head of grade Short horn yearlings steors nnd heifers averaging 642 lbs. at $9.00 per cwt. Tnis is the highe it price ever ob tained on this market for that class of Alabama cattle, and equalled the top for native yearlings that diy.” SELF-RISING AND READY PREPARED.
