Mr. D. Eagle, of the Iredell County Club, furni.-hed a bit of tabulated informa tion bearing upon the gains and loss es of pork, production in North Caroli na. The lirst day cf last January, the State had 35S.O0O fewer hogs than in 1S!)0, while our population increased two and a third times over these 25 years. Twenty-eight counties show gains while losses are recorded in 69. The gains were mostly in the tide water or coastal plain counties. Moore, one of our adjoining counties, showed a decrease of 55 per cent. It is strange to note that the greater losses were in the middle and western sections of tho state, our grain grow inr. hav and foraire region. This is enough in itself without urging our farmers to "get busy." And while we are raising let's raise a good breed of hogs. It doesn't cost any more to feed them than it does a "Razor back.' SPRAYING HOGS Mr. A. L. Miller, of Tennessee, had an article in the Southern Agricultur ist suggesting the spraying of hogs, Parties having few hogs can best use a 6mall sprayer, but where there are many it will pay to have a dipping tank and drive the hogs through once a month. Another article in the same maga zine says: "I mix black oil and kerosene, equal parts, and pour the mixture all along their backs and necks. The heat of their bodies and the nature of the oil causes the dope to spread, and as they bed together soon gets all over them, This should be repeated every ten days or two weeks until they are free from lice and nits. Sometimes I use a sprinkler with the outer end of the spout taken off to apply it.but the best thing to put it on with is a large oil can with a spout about two feet long, having a valve a few inches from the point. This valve is worked by spring lever from the handle of the can, so if the hog moves the oil can be stopped at once without waste. SOUTHERNERS GREAT CONSUM ERS OF PORK The Southern people while produc ing a cotton crop are reflecting hog raising, and are spending millions of dollars annually for pork. Hogs may be raised with very little expense in this section where corn and other feed crops are so easily raised. The cause of the greatest loss of hogs in the South is worms. One of the best preventive measures is to keep a mixture of ashes, lime, char coal, sulphur and copperas where the hog can eat it at will. The proportions are as follows: Charcoal, bushel, 1. Ashes, bushel, 1. Salt, pounds, 8. Lime, pounds, 8. Sulphur, pounds, 4. Copperas, pounds, 2. If the hogs are already wormy, a small quantity of turpentine may be given in the slop, one teaspoonful for each eifhty pounds of live weight, for three successive mornings. Lice Lice cause ur.thriftiness among hogs and often death among pigs. A very effective method during the summer monihs is to pour some crude oil on the water in the wallows. This will kill the lice without injury to the hog. (The Farmer's Column editor will be glad of any article of interest to farmers. Address "Farm Department of The Courier." Let's give each oth er our ideas, farmers. Maybe yours are better than your neighbor's. Any way, let's "talk over matters" in this column.) IN HONOR OF CAPTAIN CRAIG Mrs. J. S.
