pigs and the SOW (While she ran with
them) was $l06l, and the value Of the
green crops was $3.50. The rent of the
land was assumed to be SO, making the
total cost of fattening the pigs Sl8.ll.
The average cost Of producing a pound
Of pork was 10 cents. No estimate
was made for the labor of tending the
pigs, since, In the authors opinion, 1t
was too small to take into account.
The pigs were slaughtered at the end
Of the trial, January 3. They were
valued at 1926 per 100 pounds, making
their total value $3948, and a profit of
$2l.37 Nothing is said in regard to
the quality of the pork.
When pigs are fattened on forage
crops the manure remains scattered
over the soil. This, together with the
fact that clover and peanuts are plants
which increase the nitrogen In the soil,
is great advantage. In the opinion
Of the author red clover, sorghum, and
peanuts were the crops best adapted
for rotation, siisCe they were cheap
and easy to produce and their season
of maturity convenient. With the
above rotation Of forage crops only 6.6
bushels Of corn wss required to pro-
duce a pig weighing 24S pounds at 10
months old.
The experiment shows that under
the conditions existing in that region
pork can be proftably produced by
feeding a rotation of forage crops, and
that at the same time the soil can be
improved. The Importance Of using
good stock instead Of scrubs is urged.
Alfalfa, oats, and cowpeas are briefly
spoken of as forage crops which might
also be valuable for fsttening pigs,
Work at some other Southern stations
has shown chufas to be also well
adapted to this purpose.

Give Water at ANY Time.

Should plants be watered during sun
shine Why not, if they need it2
The watering of the plant should be
governed by its condition and sur
roundings. The whole thing, in nut
shell, is, water a plant when 1t does
require it, says a writer in american
Gardening,
From my own experience l have
never had any bad results from water
ing flowers during sunshine, any more
than in dull weather. During sun
shine and bright weather the eVspora-
ton from most plants is more excessive
than in dull weather; consequently
plants call for more nourishmentint the
form of W ater, and if the plants are
growing fast, and the pots are full of
roots, often find 1t necessary to water
them three or four times during the
day.
Air, sun and light are important
factors in building up the plant, and
one is not much use without the other.
Water containing soluble matter is alb
sorbed by the roots and travels through
the plant as crude sap, passing up
ward to the leaves; there it forms q
combination with carbonic acid gas,
derived from the air, then by the &C.
ton of sun and light is refined and
digested. AS the sun plays such an
important part in the disintegratinR
las it were) of the food Of the plant, l
cannot see how it would have any in
furious effect to water plants during
sunshine, but would look at it as
thing essential If the plants needed it.
| always aim to have watering done
early in the morning, or about 3 or 4
o'clock In the afternoon, for the sim
pie reason that it facilitates the work,
as well as economies the water; but as
said before, l would not scruple to
water a batch Of plants during sun.

Forage Crops for Pigs.

LII II hEuOLb buAlCgAn AVA w oAO Jul
lected some useful facts on this sub
ject. On pages 6 and Z we find the
following:
An interesting report of experiments
in fsttenlng pigs on a succession OF
forage crops has recently been pub
lished by the Arkansas Station. Rye,
red clover, sorghum, peanuts, and
sweet potatoes were the crops used In
the test. They were grown on a worn
sofia sandy loan deficient in Vege-
table mstter-which in a good season
would produce about twenty-five bush
els Of corn to the acre. The pigs were
confined in a movable pen while graz
Ing. A grade Poland China SOW with
five pigs was turned iniO the rye
March %. The rye had been soWed
the fall previous and was about six
inches high. The sow did not relish
the rye and was given some corn In
addition. Comparatively little rye was
eaten, and after week the pigs were
put on red clover, which was in lis
second year. The pigs grszed over 1t
twice. They were fed some grain in
addition, The SOW remained with the
pigs until the middle Of May, and a
record was kept of all the food she
consumed.
Toward the end of July the pigs
were put on sorghum which had been
planted about the middle of April and
was headed out and in bloom. They
showed a preference for the sorghum
heads and toward the last would not
eat the stalks, which had become
rather hard. Late in September two
of the pigs were put on sweet po'
tstoes and three on peanuts. The
sweet pototoes were not relished, and
the pigs did not make satisfactory
gains on them. After two weeks they
were therefore put on peanuts with the
other pigs. They grew very rapidly
on peanuts and continued on this feed
until the ground froze in December
They were then fed all the soaked corn
they would eat until they were slaught
cred, January 3. During the test the
pigs had grszed over one.fourth acre
Of clover, one-fourth acre of sorghum
and two, lifths acre of peanuts, making
in all less than one acre. The fact that
the pigs were In perfect health during
the test indicated that the crops were
well suited to them. In addition tC
the forage crops the pigs were fec
some grain until they were months
old to insure rapid growth. They
were also given mixture Of charcoal
salt, ashes, and Stacked lime.
AT the close of the test the pigs
weighed 1915 pounds, the average
weight being 4S pounds. During tbt
seventy-two days on which peanuts ol
sweet potatoes and peanuts were fec
the average daily gain per pig was l.S
pounds. During the thirty-one day
on which corn was fed the averagI
daily gain per pig was Lbs pounds.
