ter pastures do not fatten stock, but
they are amply sufficient to maintain
sheep, horses or cattle. And in addl-
ton to this l know of men who have

found grasses which, when sOwed on
our lands, produce a winter pasturage
which will fatten for amy market"
The progressive farmer will agree
with the Ruralist's opinion that fed
crops, after the cattle are taken off
the succulent grasses, keeping the
animal growing and fattening from
start to finish, and at the same time
enriching the farm, lis the more pro-
gressive method of animal farming, by
which the animal can be sent to the
butcher in IL months less time.
A farm stocked with 800 COWS, with
good beef breeding males, by the nat

animals each year, without depicting

Artichokes FOR Hogs.

The Southern CultivatOr in answer
to an inquiry, says that artichokes
constitute a very valuable food for
hogs, especially for winter and spring.
1t is not advisable to keep hogs on ar
tichokes alone, but combine some other
article with them, O'Ic that is dry and
rich in heterogeneous compounds, such
as peas, wheat bran, etc. They are
about equal in nutritve value to Irish
potatoes when the latter are cooked.
The large yield, the easy cultivation,
the fact that they need not be gather
ed and stored, as lney will remain
sound in the ground all winter and can
be gathered by hogs as needed, all
commend them. Cultivation is similar
to that of corn. Plant in fOur-feet
rows, dropping a tuber, or piece of tu-
Der with an eye, every foot, and give
the necessary blowing and hOeing to
keep down grass and weeds. Plant
early in March. AS stated before, it
is not necessary to dig and store, but
dig as needed. They mature late in au-
tumn. Any seed dealer can supply the
tubers. They are harvested in same
u1duuef DIS lTlSu anu sweet pOLdCOoS.
Boiled Irish potatoes, in Olden times,
constituted the principal ration for
hogs, and if artichokes are their equal,
and the hog can do the harvesting, the
enormous production to the acre
should make the growing of hogs an
easy matter in the South. Cowpeas,
peanuts, and chufas with a little corn
will do the finishing off in nOr1z nrO-
duction if the breed is right. ..
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-06-07

imal, American StOckmen have either
brought it from some other country
or have produced it at home. The hog
has been split up into breeds and these
breeds into strains and changed in ma
ture and shape so often and so easily
that his nature has become plastic and
he can be made in shape and quality
just what the meat-ea ing public
wants. The bacon hog we have heard
so much about will surely appear in
the course of a short time, and there
need be no great surprise if he should
come in the shape of half a dozen of
the recognized breeds. Berkshire
breeders are already claiming their ia
vorites to be the bacon breed.
The commOn-sense hog is what the
American farmer is looking for. That
is the breed that will produce the larg-
est amount of the kind of meat the
public is asking for for given amount
of the most available hog feed. A lit
tie more grass, a larger proportion of
oats and something less of corn and it
seems to us the common-sense hog, the
true bacon hog, will be an accomplish
ed fact"
Push along the common sense hog.
Give the South the breed. We have
the right kind Of feed. The Southern
farmer may yet supply the packing

Agricultural Papers (P)-True to
N anne.

The Market Gardener says 'all the
farm papers are extremely miscella-
neOuS in their departments. Some of
them devote considerable sp: zee to fan
cy work in knitting, embroidery, etc.,
and very light weight fictitious stories.
Some quite prominent papers treat of
all other topics more extensively, than
of the one or two suggested by their
titles
In buying trees, seeds, stock, ETC.,
the farmer demands his purch use shall
be true to name. Why not in farm
paper? The popularity above stated
is very noticeable to tn editor of the
Ruralist in scanning the exchange list
of farm papers, which frequently are
perused without finding a single item
that is considered helpful to the South
ern Ruralist reader. a small percent
age of space is devoted to agriculture
or fruit growing; as much more to
stock and poultry, goodly space is
taken up with telling it's readers how
good a paper they are getting, and
then comes in the miscellany, serial
stories, illustrated fancy work articles,
recipes for making cake and from one
to four pages in advertising premiums,
and usually in such cases the subscrip-
ton is obtained, not for tie papers

The Common Sense Hog.

Stock raisers are in search of it.
From the ancient raZOrback, running
wild and foraging for living and
reaching maturity in three or four
years has been evolved the Essex,
Berkshire, Poland China and other
popular breeds, that make 3OO-pound
hog before he is a year old. But since
cotton seed oil has come in competi
ton with hog lard, reducing the price
Of this article to One-half tnat of the
meat of the animal, there must be an
other evolution backwards; into more
meat and less fat. This will come
from both breeding and feeding. Cow
peas and peanuts tend more to meat
than fat and in these prOduc the
South has the advantage over the
North in the production of the common
sense hog. Our Ruralist family will
read with interest the Farmers Voice
description of the evolution. t'The ra-
zorback's nose has been shortened by
one-half, his ribs sprung into the
rounded shape Of half barrel hoop,
his rump squared out and his hams
thickened, and he has been bred to
mature in six months, and still we are
not satisfied. We now want a hog
that will be habitat and half-lean as to
sides and all lean as to ham. This kind
of a hog would at once spring into high
favor if he could be produced. He
would fill long-fe1t want in the most
perfect manner.
This hog is on his way. We say this
confidently because heretofore, when

Veteran the First Missouri Cavalry Relates Incidents of Skir
mshes with Quantre|'s Bushwackers
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.

The we'll known employe of Detroit, Michi-
gan, Board of Public Works, Joseph B.
Myers, living at III Fort Street, west, is an
important member of the Grand Army of
Veterans, and recently had remarkable
experience.
Comrade Myers enlisted at Edinburg, NO.,
in 1862, and served during the war in the
southwest, and was discharged at st. Louis
Mo-, in 1865. He was member of Co. K.
First Missouri Cavalry 18th A. c. Western
army, commanded by General Burnside, and
later by Gen. Eads. He participated in the
battles of Springfield, Seas Ford and all the
principal battles through Missouri.
For months the First Missouri Cavalry
followed the notorious Guerilla Ouantrell
and his band of bushwackers. Scarcely day
passed but what there was a running fight.
For nearly six weeks Comrade Myers was
IN the saddle constantly. 1t was a campaign
OF strategy and endurance, as both sides
were we'll mounted Night and day it was
fight and sl1irmishes and the men were pros
trated for weeks after Quantrell was driven
from the State. Many times the command
rode all night to cut off his retreat and fought
all day. The men slept and ate in their
saddles during this campaign, and were glad

The Bacon Hog. Does it Cost MoreP

The Agricultural Epitomist, publish
ed in the center of the pork industry,
cautions it's readers against being turn
ed aside from producing the hog that
makes lard and fat meat, urging that
the meat of the bacon hog costs two
cents a pound more than the hog that
runs to fat.
This may be true of Indiana, where
they cannot successfully raise to ma
turity leguminous hog feeding crops,
but in the South where the heterogeneous
as the cowpea, velvet bean, peanut,
chufas and other crops on which the
bacon hog can be largely made, as
shown by the Arkansas and Alabama
Experiment Stations, at a cost of from
one and one-fourth to- two cents d
pound, the Epitomist editors state
ment will not apply.
His suggestion that the Westphalian
breed of hays be introduced from
Great Britain, from which is made the
Westphalian ham, SO celebrated for its
excellence is worthy of consideration.

Water Supply.

How many farm homes reached by
the Ruralist are destitute of a conven-
lent water supply that might at little
expense have it conducted to house
and barn? This is practicable where
there is a running stream, be the
source either above or below the point
to which it is to be conducted; in the
latter case by hydraulic ram, and in
the former by gravitation; and where
there is no running stream a contrib
utor of the Farm and Ranch suggests
that wherever there is farm with a
ravine, permanent water supply can
be secured from surface water by
buil04ng a dam across the ravine, at
a cost of ten to twenty-five dollars.
where water can be cOrraled during
the rainy seasons, sufficient for a con-
tinuous supply for family and stock.
If the ravine and reservoir construct
ed, are above the buildings, this water
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-06-07

can be conducted by gravitation, and
if below by windmill.
There is little doubt silt would soon
cover the bottom of ravine sufficient
ly cementing it to hold water, but it
would not have the freshness of run
ming stream.
The object of this article is more to
stir up farmers to utilize the running
streams so abundant on many South
ern farms, to the relief Of their wives
and convenience of the stock in the
barnyard. 1t is doubted by some
whether a ravine reservoir could be
made practicable.
