| In the current issue of Farm and
|Fireside appears an article which
.shows what the aggricultural South
!ls doing in the way of hog-farming.
Following is an extract:
l “Most of the agricultural South is
ideal for hog-farming. The climate
is mild and the land is cheap and fer
‘tile, plenty of inexpensive feed is
‘available and .good markets are ac
'cessible.
i T The Southern farmer can pro
.duce top-quality pork at a much low
‘er cost than can the farmer in the
Middle West, His climate is so
mild that he has to expend but little
money to warm hog-houses. For the
imost part of the swine run out on
t the range twelve months in the year
-in some cases having no other shel
ter than a grove of oak-trees. South
ern hogs are produced under natu
'ral conditions that make for the
health and vigor among the breed
ing animals and the production of
!stmng, robust, true to type progeny.
It is the exception rather than the
rule for pure-bred hog-farm locat
ed south of Mason and Dixon's line
to boast of costly farrowing houses.
The sows farrow their two crops of
lflfgs’h‘yéar'out on the ‘range under
natural conditions. The females and
their progeny are sheltered in open
end, A-shaped houses that satisfy
all requirements of sanitation and
adequate ventelation. These dwel
lings are bedded with clean, fresh
straw to afford comfort and protec
tion for the sow and her pigs. All
that is necessary is to protect the
voungsters and their mother from
rain and cold winds.”
| .Judson C. Welllver, Washington
warespondent of Farm and Fireside,
‘writing an article in the current is
sue of that publication entitled, “The
Farmer and the, Future,” publishes
many interesting facts. An extract
from his article follows:
“In six years past there has been a
decline of over thirty per cent. in the
number of beef cattle in the country.
At the beginning of 1907 there were
by the Department estimates, 51,566,
000 beef cattle in the country, while
on the same date this year the num
ber was 0n1y36,030,000, Not only
this. Over half the meat animals
are killed under government inspec
tion. The number of them thus kil
led was thirteen per cent. less in the
first three months of 1913 than in
the like period of 1912. Here is
the statistical dope on it:
“¥First three months of 1912,
1,753,882 cattle, 458,209 calves,
10,149,088 hogs, 3,640,290 sheep;
total 16,001,556,
“First three months of 1913,
1,695,698 cattle, 398,843 calves,
8,885,421 hogs, 3,036,548 sheej; to
tal 13,916,396,
‘“A steady decrease right down the
line, 1t can’t be accounted for on
any assumption that the market has
been bad, for we all know prices and
demand have been highly favorable.
Thus, at Chicago the 1912 average
price for native steers was $7.95, as
against $6.50 in 1911—an increase
of over twenty-two per cent. Hogs
showed an increase from $6.70 to
'57.65, or a little more than fourteen
per cent,
~ “The Department heads tell me
that they are going to devote much
“eflort to encouraging the production
of meat in the East and South. They
believe there is a great fleld for mis
sionary weork it these gections.”

A CONVERSATION
(Good morning Jones. '
(Good morning Mr. Smith; well I hope,
First rate thank you. Any news’
Why yes, old man Bill Jenkins lost some money yesterday.
Heard about it as I came down this morning.” | ;
You don’t say! How did that happen?
Why he eame down to town yesterday with a load of produce
off his farm, and after selling it he got his check cashed and put
the money in his pocket. Said he owed some of it to a neighbor
up oear him, and in some manner he lost the money out of his
pocket on the way home.
(Smith) Well what do you think of that! Now I bought
that Joad of produce from Jenkins myself and gave him a check
on the bank of Powder Springs for it, and T told him to leave the
money there: on deposit and check against it to pay that neighbor
he owed. So that is what heigets by not following good advice.
Well I'm sorry about it. A
