The Aurelian Springs Buy'- Pig Club will soon have a number oF extra nice pure bred L)uroc Jersey p.gs lor sale. We would like very much ior our farmers in Halifax county tu keep this in mind and when in need of pigs buy from iliese boys. The pigs ate of \ ■ > best breeding and pn.es will be reasonable. I Here are twenty-one nays m Halifax county growing cotton in a cotton club contest this summer. Most of these buys are gruwtng pure bred Mexican Big Bull cotton and will have seed for sale next year. W'e have about five hun dred acres of pure bred cotton planted in the upper end of Hali fax that will furnish seed for plant ing next season- Most ot this cot ton is \\ annamaker's Cleveland Big Boll and Mexican Big Boll varieties This will enable us to get our planting seed at home next year instead ol going out of the county for them as we did this time. If you are having to buy leed lor your hogs use the following mixture, it is the cheapest dry lot hog teed you can use. Make a mixture of 100 pounds fish meal, 100 pounds wheat shorts or red dog, and 300 pounds corn meal. For the morning feed give the hogs all this mixture they will clean up in lifteen minutes. (Feed the mix ture in a thick slop.) For the night feed use dry corn giving the hogs all they will clean up in 15 minutes. This system of feeding will pro duce pork at about 7 G cents per pound where it will cost I IT cents per pound if corn alone is ted. t! you do not already ow n a two horse cultivator visit one of your neighbors who is using one and see what a great labor saver it is and see what pretty w ork it does. It not only does good work but it does so much of it. One man with two horses can cultivate S to 9 acres a day and work every mid dle. improved machinery must be used to meet the present labor situation.
