Next spring when the rye was up about sly laches high, -we- boqgftt a bunch Ql tarred hogs from a neighbor and turned them In o^the rye, and they certainly did aeexh to enjoy It. We bought a hand pudip AAd pipe for a twenty-foot well for $3.98 and put It down In the corner of the Held. We built four Colony hog houses.

That plan certainly developed efficiency of service and it was line to see how splendidly our pigs prow. When that field of rye was cleaned up, we ploughed It down and planted It to cow peas, and when this crop was ripe, about the middle of August, we turned in the hogs and allowed them to' feed it down, and then soM them direct to the market, making a nloe financial showing on iheya0|?s work. sowed the field to rye again la the fall and pastured it down In the spring/ and planted it to soy beans and secured a fine crop, cutting one-half of It for seed and feeding down the other half.

""" The State Board of Charities reports 34 4 in alms houses and Jails. The N ^ Legislature of 1911 appropriated the sump of $60,000 to begin the building of the School of Feeble-Xlinded. This sum has been spent, or provision made .for spending it, yet the Institution will lack nearly $40,000 of having enough to begin its operation. The money must come front somewhere to put this school in operation before anything can be accomplished It is contended that the school for the Feeble-Minded should be made large enough to care for at least five or six hundred of these children. By far the larger number of these defectives ore the off-spring of defective, and the State has allowed nearly ten generations to increase and hoe done nothing to prevent its decrease. - prevention seem* to cost tnwch. yet the only way to really check this * increase is to take all of the9? cases -r ?? into the institution and prevent them from bringing into tho world others like themselves.
