Atlanta—Georgia will hi- short about

having to buy that much from other
states, according to the latest national
agricultural report. The per capita
wheat consumption in Georgia Is about
the same as in other states and the
production very light, and It is shown
that about ten million bushels Is an

Washington.—The sixty-third con
gress reassembled today for Its third
and concluding session.
President Wilson will deliver his an
nual address, in person, tomorrow
from ‘he rostrum of the hall of the
hr,us" before a Joint session, outlining
the administration program. Until
that Is fully disclosed, the work which
will he undertaken during the com
paratively few remaining days In the
life of this congress, which dies at
noon March 4, remains undefined, ex
cept that the usual appropriation hills
are likely to receive first and chief
attention. Whether the sixty-fourth
congress, chosen Ht the November
elections, will be called in special ses
rion will not assemble before an
other year no one can predict with
certainty.
Six Weeks’ Rest.
* After six weeks of respite from leg
islative grinding, during which many
participated In the political campaign,
members of both houses assembled
prepared to go on with the unfinished
business left over from the last ses

before March 4 If much other legis

both dominant parties. What clrcum

The first enlendar business before
the house today was the cotton relief
legislation urged by Representative

most prevented adjournment of the
last session by insisting on it. The
general understanding among mem
bers of both houses was that Presi

for ultimate Independence of the Phtl

“DOTES ON SHINING SHOES.”
To The Herald
Kindly publish my answer to the
remarks signed “Bachelor” in Friday's
pa per.
He is not the only one who has an
ideal for home life, and, Just like him.
Ism still unmarried, because I’ve been
waiting for a man with Just his ideas.
Here are my recommendations: l
don’t like Ice-cream and soda water.
I do go to the movies occasionally,
but If I had a husband like him I’d
never leave him for a picture show.
It would he my greatest Joy to meet
him at the door wdth a smile, and have
his slippers warming by the fire. I’d
even light his pipe and get “The Her
ald” for him.
I'm a splendid cook and like to work.
I’m fond of making over old clothes
and have a sweet disposition and real
ly, I’m not ugly, although I'm not a
Venus. I’m not quite a quarter of a
century old. In fact, I would make
an all-round good wife.
I almost forget to say that I Just
dote on shiging shoes. That’s my spe
cialty. LONELY SPINSTER.
AN ANSWER TO THE BACHELOR
INQUIRY.
To The Herald.
I would like very much to be Intro
duced to Mr. Bachelor, and see what
he looks like. He surely must be a
back number.
I am engaged and will be married
in less than two weeks, and will do all
in my power to entertain my husband’s
friends, but cannot and will not shine
his shoes, or pick up my fingers to
patch his pants. And Ido not consider
mvself a cook or a wash woman.
I do not think a man should marry
a girl unless he could take care of her
as she is cared for at home.
I will not fuss if he gets his shoes
shined up town.
It is very nice to know how to do
those things if they have them to do.
Shoe shines and love are rare com
panions.
When muddy shoes come in the door
love flies out the window.

In Hog Raising Farmers Now Have Big
Opportunity For Quick Cash Returns
Expert Advice Given By Expert Animal Husbandman at Clem
son College on Selection of Types and Breeds---No More
Danger of Hog Cholera if Pigs Are Inoculated and Anti-
Cholera Serum is Free.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
The southern farmer stands now in
need of something that will produce
quick cash returns.
The next few months must be made
to count and count heavily.
In nothing are there greater oppor
tunities for financial profit for the
farmers of this section than in rais
ing hogs.
This fact is pretty generally recog
nized and many farmers who have
heretofore given little or no attention
to swine are now investing !n hogs
for breeding purposes.
The business is one that requires
•mall capital, provided, of course, he
who enters the business —as Is the case
with the farmer —has already a suit
able place for hi* herd.
Even a few dollars lntested in hogs
now will produce handsome returns,
provided, of course, that the proper
care and attention is given the busi
ness.
It is not within the range of possi
bility, however, that "plnev woods’’
hogs, or those left to root for them
selves or die, will thrive as well or
fatten like hogs to which the proper
care and attention In feeding is given
At the McDuffie County Fair, held
recently at Thomson, Ga., an exhibitor
showed two hogs of the same age, one
of which had been turned loose to root
for himself, the other properly fed. It
Is hardly necessary to add that the
one was twice as big—and therefore,
worth twice as much —as the other.
There need be no further fear on the
part of the ‘ farmer living In Georgia
or Fouth Carolina that the cholera will
kill out his herd as was the danger up
to a short time ago.
Hogs Inoculated with anti-cholera
serum are practically Immune and
there are cases which can he cited
where the cholera breaking out among
hogs that had not been inoculated, kill
ing 90 per cent of the herds, failed to
spread to herds in the same neighbor
hoods which had been Inoculated.
There is nothing truer than thr.t "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure.” If pigs are inoculated when
they are very young the cost is in
significant—about 10 cents a pig. The
more hog there is to be inoculated, the
greater the cost.
Serum is furnished free hy the Geor
gia State Agricultural College, in
Georgia and by the Clemson Agricul
tural College in South Carolina, the
only cost being for the work of actual
inoculation.
No farmer should attempt to raise
hogs without the protection against
cholera of inoculation.
Next to the importance of inocula
tion is the importance of selecting, for
breeding purposes, the type and breed
and the points that such breeding stock
should possess.
In this, the farmer who has had no
actual experience, should avail him
self of the expert knowledge to be had
by consulting the agricultural college
of his state.
Last week 1 visited Clemson College.
R. L. Shields, at the heat} of the divis
ion of animal husbandry and dairying,
states that all of the leading breeds
should give good results with reason
atle attention. Breeds of the lard type
mature earlier than those of the bacon
type. On the other hand, bacon hogs, as
a general rule, will have larger Ut
ters; but the difference is not ma
terially great If one is careful in the
selection of the sows and hoars. Hogs
that have themselves been raised from
large litters are desirable as they
tend to produce, tn turn, large llttlers
Prof. Shield, who is an expert In his
line states that the most popular breed
of the lard type are Rerkshlre, Duroc-
Jersey and Poland China, In the north
the Chester White (O. I. C.) Is one of
the popular lard breeds, but the color
of this breed is objected to by many
in the south. It Is claimed that the
white skin is subject to sunscald or
blister. The Essex is popular In cer
tain sections.
Of the bacon breeds, the Tamworth
no doubt leads In numbers in this sec
tion The Hampshire (black ends and
white middle) Is a very popular breed
In certain northern states This breed
is now considered dual purpose,
(both lard and bacon) rather than
strictly a bacon breed.
EYIUiNiUAT, UcG&ivmcn
Prof. Shields in further advising the
farmers of this section in selection of
breeds, says:
“Select a breed you believe in and
stick to that breed. Desirable breeding
stock should have strong constitution
(large heart girth is a good indication
of this) and plenty of bone of good
quality. Narrowness of head, long
snout and coarse hair are very unde
sirable and indicate coarseness and
poor quality. A strong back is de
sired. The hack should be straight or
slightly arched and should be broad.
The loin (the region immediately in
front of the hips) should be relatively
short as well as broad to insure
strength. Look for well developed
hams and shoulders, and for length
and depth of side.
“Sex characteristics should he
strongly shown. The boar should
show masculinity in a marked degree.
Prepotency, the power to transmit like
qualities to the offspring, Is very much
desired in breeding stock. Animals
that are pronounced in these points
make the best and surest breeders.
“Endeavor to select uniform indi
viduals that have the essential char
acteristics of the breed, hut do not al
low ‘fancy points,’ such as white tip
of tail, etc., to overbalance the import
tance of ‘utility points, such as well'
developed hams, etc. Utility (points,
not fancy points, go to fill the pork
barrel.”
Sick Two Years With Indigestion.
“Two years ago I was greatly bene
fited through using two or three bot
tles of Chamberlain's Tablets,” writes
Mrs. S. A. Keller, Elida, Ohio. “Be

years with Indigestion.” Sold by all
