LIVE STOCK NOTES 
Fighting Sows 
I had an unusual thing happen on my 
farm last Fall. It may be of enough 
importance to publish as a caution for 
others. I had two sows, half sisters, 
raised together. I separated them last 
Summer because they quarreled. About 
the middle of December last I put them 
together on account of the cold. They 
were together about a week when one 
killed the other. She seemed to drink her 
blood but did not eat any part of the 
desh. I have met but one man who 
has ever had a like experience. He says 
they will .sometimes do this if they are 
separated and then put together again, 
as these were. W. C. r.

:ir : 
A Profitable Hog 
I am miolosing a newspaper clipping 
which, no doubt, looks good to city people. 
It looks to mo like a good text for one of 
your good sermons. It was certainly 
“some” hog. , 
“Lindale, Ga., Jan. 10.—Charles Guy¬ 
ton a farmer, bought a hog last Septem¬ 
ber’for $25. He slaughtered the animal 
today and sold it for ”0 cents a pound. 
I'he hog weighed 000 pounds, dressed, and 
brought $270, a net profit of $245.” 
North East, Pa. G. E. P.. 
That certainly was “some hog.” The 
Kochester Herald ought to use that far a 
“sermon it is too “strong meat” for us. 
Unfortunately we do not know how much 
this hog weighed last September when he 
was sold for .$25. At any rate he was a 
wonder, and the city papers now have a 
fine chance, to read these lazy farmers a 
patriotic lesson. If this Georgia farmer 
contributes 900 pounds of pork to feed the 
Allies, and incidentally puts $245 into his 
own pocket, what are you doing -when you 
fail to keep 100 such hogs? Thus you 
would contribute 45 tons of pork and have 
the neat sum of .$24,500 to invest in Lib-' 
erty bonds! It need not cost you any¬ 
thing, for you can see that all Hr. Guy- 
t'ln had to do was to subtract $25 from 
;"290. I'lie cost of feed was nothing. The 
hog must have made his gain on air and 
water. That is a sam))le of what they are 
feeding to the public, and many city men 
actually believe it.
