Mr. McVean stated that pasture and grazing are prime essen tials in profitable swine production. He pointed put that from 30 to 50 per cent, on the feed bill can be saved by use of forage crops, also showing that pigs on forage crops or pastures are healthier, stronger, more prolific and less susceptible to disease than pigs in dry lot. The necessity and remedies for keeping swine free of vermin and parasites were given. San- itation plays an important part in' swine Deduction. The question1 of markets and the age for marketing f were touched on. MarKets away our . swine and 8 to 9 months is the most profitable age at which to market our swine?

About 100 people attended the mass meeting Saturday to discuss, the pro- meeti posed new road law. Messrs. R. E. Little and S. M. Clarke and Dr. J. E. Hart, chairman of the board of coun ty commissioners spoke in favor of the bill, and Messrs. E. D. Myers, W. H. Downer, D. V. Mauney, T. J. Wat kins and W. A. Gaddy spoke in oppo sition. Mr. James A. Leak was chair man of the meeting, and Mr. W. C. Bivens, secretary. The chief points of those favoring the bill were that the roads must be kept up by some means, and that working the stock was the best and fairest method of doing it. A man has to work, and his stock is no bet ter than he is. It was urged that this bill was only an experiment, and that if it did not meet with the approval of -the people after being tried it could e appealed two years from now. It was stated also that the public spirit ed men who have been working their ock oh the road favored the bill, while most of the opposition came from those who do just as little work a,? possible. V The bill was opposed chiefly on the grounds' that stock might be abused and that certain men might be forced by the road overseer to furnish more history of the country, but owing to !
