on show points were Poland Chinas
and all from one litter. These four
pigs for Nannie Sikes nnd Carlton
Carpenter won two premiums each
with their pigs were indeed a re
markable litter for any sow to pro
duce. and form a good illustration of
the value of a really good brood sow
over an ordinary one. Another pig
from this little was also on exhibi
tion and was as good an individual
as any of the others, but had not
made quite ns good gains, probably
becauso not so well fed. These five
pigs from one litter, at 8 Vi months
old had reached a gross total weight
of over 1,500 pounds.
While the gains, or weights, of
these pigs art* not especially remark
able. they are good and can not fall
to teach a useful lesson to those
young boys and girlH who fed them
and to those who saw them on exhl
lit
The Oktibbeha Pig Club Is a suc
cess and Superintendent Miller and
Prof. Hugh Crltz. who originated
and pushed it along, deserve great
credit.
Nearly $100 has already been rais
ed for premiums for next year, and
while these boys and girls made the
best showing of hogs ever made at
the county fair, much better results
are promised for next year.
Why not have these pig clubs in
every county? The corn clubs have
done wonders, but the pig clubs will
do even more, if they serve as a
means of starting the South in the
growing of its live stock.
The herd that Is In the best hands
will make the best showing.—Prof.

Pull Stumps in the Wet Weather.
Messrs. Editors: ft is raining con
stantly and it is too wet to do almost
anything except pull stumps. I find
it a splendid time to pull stumps
while the ground is wet and soft.
It does not take more than one
half the power to pull a stump if
you pull it when the ground is real
wet. A. G. COX.
