Plan OF Hog Feeding.

Mr.. Eli Heaton writes in the 1ndi-

would like to give my brotheriarmers
my plan Of feeding hogs during the
past season, which / found was very
healthful for the hogs and saves corr
cobs. Last spring q year | bought
half a bushel OF the White Jerusalem
artichoke which planted about one
sixth OF an acre; from this, in the fall,
] sold % bushels OF seed, / also buried
about IL bushels for my own use,
hen turned in 81 hogs to help them
selves. Here they grew and fatted
with only u little corn each day, also
with plenty OF fresh water, and salt
and charcoal occasionally. This year
Ihave about one and one-half acres.
/ have turned in 80 head of hogs to
fatten and AZ fall pigs are also feeding
on them. After the fat hogs
are sold there will be food
enou?h to supply my brood sows
and pigs until spring with only a very
little corn. In the spring have only
TO turn my hogs out, close up the
fence and the new cropcomes on with
out any cultivation, There are al
ways enough tubers left in the ground
for a new crop. These artichokes are
very prolific and will yield hundreds
of bushels per acre. .--
/ think that roots are the natural
food for hogs, and tits needless to say
hat / have long since quit the cruel
practice of using rings. Let us try
more of the root feeding and'have
better and healthier hogs, especially
when it will save time, labor and corn.

Potato Scab.

Extended experience with potato
scab leads the North Dakota expert
ment station to the followinginterest-
ingconclusions: Scabby seed tubers un-
der ordinary circumstances produce q
diseased crop OF potatoes. Seed pota-
toes free from scab, upon soil free
from the disease, will produce a heal
thy crop OF potatoes. The disease
germs can remain in the ground from
one crop to another. The most inter-
esting fact is, that by soaking the di-
seased seed in certain chemical solu-
tions before planting, an undiseased
crop can be grown from the seabbiest
potatoes, provided the. soil be free
from the scab germs. The
point to be attained is to kill
the adhering germs and not re-
tard the growth of the tuber. For
this a treatment WITH corrosive subli-
mate, mercuric bichloride, lis recon-
mended. In the first place, wash tine
seed potatoes thoroughly either in
running water or in a tub, changing
the water frequently; reject the scab-
best ones. For the treatment, OBJ
tain a barrel and place in it thirteen
gallons of water. Dissolve two ounces
of corrosive sublimate in two gallons
of warm water; add this to the water
in the barrel, and stir it well till thor
oughly mixed with it. Let the pota-
toes remain in this solution an hour
and a half. The liquid can be used
again for another quantity of pota-
toes. After the treatment the tuber
can be cut in the usual n and
planted. w 49,.
A similar scab is found on some va
rieties of beets, presumably the same.
It is unwise to raise potatoes on the
same land for successive seasons if
they are shabby, and it follows that
beets should not be grown after scab-
by potatoes. 1t is probable that
other root crops may be infested with
the fungous disease. Ii so, it may be
expected that preventiyes will be
