WHAT IT COSTS .
TO FEED HOGS '
- . i
In last week’s issue we carried an
article on hog feeding and we are now
able to give definite results on this,
work. The County Agent made a
proposition to the farmers to feed a
car load of hogs, and these are the ■
farmers that have taken up the propo.;
sition: Fletcher 'Hawkins, Frank
Chambers, R. L. Long, S. J. Bristol,
Frank Moore, Ervin Kitchens, W. M.
Clayton, John Tiger, Ben Kitchens,
Mark Weaver, Ben Phillips and R. L.
Anderson. Here are the calculations
on this work, it will take the following
feed to feed ten pigs eight weeks old
for 19 weeks, 500 pounds of nsh meal
1850 pounds of corn meal, 500 pound
of wheat shorts, 51 bushels of corn.
Figuring the corn at $1.00 per bush
el the corn is worth $89.50, the fish
meal at $4.00 per hundred pound;,
$20.00; shorts $2.00 per hundred,
$10.00; feed would be worth $119.60.
This should make {rigs average 200
pounds each. At 12% cents per
pound on foot would make the ten
pigs net you $260.00. Feed cost
$119.50 plus $60.00 cost, of pigs
equals $169.60. $250,00 minus $169.
60 leaves $80.60 which is profit on
fending pigs or practically $2j00 per
bushel for corn. This looks like profit
to me. It will be a good way to start

TON O FPORK
FROM EIGHT PIGS
Lexington, N. C., Sept. 29.—Eight
pigs entered in the state-wide ton lit
ter contest by M. L. Hanes of the
Reedy Creek township in Davidson
County on March 4, 1926 weighed
2078 pounds on September 2 accord
ing to C. A. Sheffield, county agent
of Davidson County. j
“Mr. Hanes has proven himself to j
be one of our best hog feeders,” says
Mr. Sheffield. “The eight pigs which i
he entered in the ton litter contest
were a cross between the Berkshire
and Poland China breeds. They
were fad according to methods ad
vocated by the swine extension office
at State College and were fed for 180
days. At the end of the period, the
eight animals weighed 2073 pounds

Mr. Sheffield states that there were
three boars and five sows in the lit
ter. The heavest pig was a barrow
weighing 308 pounds while the light
est was a sow weighing 206 pounds.
Each of the three barrows weighed
much more than any one of the five
sows. The 'total cost of the feed
given the animals was $119.87. or a
cost of 5.8 cents per pound to pro
duce the pork. On the day the'con
test closed Mr. Hanes could have
sold his pigs for a little over $300.

M.
Mr. T. M. Moore Has
Splendid Result With
Lime as Fertilizer
Two years ago Mr. Moore had two
acres of land that would hardly grow
corn at all, this land was rich but
Just too soar to grow any 'thing on.
Mr. Moore decided he would try lime
on this land, and he went ahead and
put four tons to the two acres and
now he is able to produce 100 bushels
of corn per acre. This is a good ex
i ample of what a little lime will do.
There are no doubt acres and safes
of good land in Clay County that is
not now producing enough stuff to
pay for cultivating it, just for the
want of a few tons of lime. Lime
can be procured at a reasonable cost
to the farmer, and the day isn’t far
distant when it will be used exten
sively as fertilizer.
ALLEN ESTIMATES
835,000 STUDENTS
IN STATE SCHOOLS
Raleigh, September 23.—Approxi
mately 835,000 North Carolina chil
dren will be enrolled in the public
schools during the winter school
months, according to estimates pre
pared today by State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, A. T., Allen
The enrollment for the school term
ending last spring was 820,000, while
for the year before it was 810,000.
To extend the State wide school
term from a minimum of six to a
minimum of eight months would not
have the effect of materially increas
ing the State’s school population.—

Toys ’and feirls to the Tusqiiittee Ball
last week-end. The party left town
at 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon. The
summit of the mountain was reached
at seven, and a delicious picnic supper
was spread. After all the hunger
pangs were satisfied, three camp fiires
were built and all gathered around
and sang songs and played games.
About eleven o’clock the stars look
ed down on a tired but happy bunch
snugly rolled in their blankets.
No one had to be called for break
fast next morning, most of the party
was on top of Pot Rock Ball by five
o’clock to see the sunrise, which was
very beautiful in spite of a few clouds
hanging over the sky. After the sun
rise every one gathered back at camp
and the homeward journey was start,
ed by ten o’clock. All had a delight
ful time, and some are expecting to
go back when chestnuts open.
The Glee Club of the Hayesville
High School under the direction of
Mrs. Standridge and Miss McGoogan
is progressing rapidly. They have
rendered several numbers on Chapel

work on “The Glass slipper”, an op

success.
