Be sure to get WRIGLEY’S 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.
