Improvement in Swine.

The term Improvement is only relative.
There is no such thing as THE improve
ment of swine in the abstract, says an
exchange. When we speak of the i'm
provement of swine we mean in the rela-
ton OF the hog to man, In the relation
of the hog TO himself there has been no
Improvement but rather an absolute de-
terioraion. Let the human race disap-
par from the earth at this time and
The hog would be In bad shape to survive.
At least this would be true of the i'm
proved hog. He would fall a prey to hun
ger, for he could not hunt his own food
except under the most favorable circum-
S ances; if any wild animal got after him
he would be unable to fight, for his tusks
have been tred out. Even as relates to
man the Improvement made by enc gen
eration is not the improvement desired by
another. There was a time when bigne. s
counted for nearly everything in the i'm
proved log. Now the buyers want gu OK
grown hogs of medium weight. The next
improvement will probably be more lean
meat in the hog, because the buyers ia
boo the fat. The next generation will see
new standards of improvement establish
ed. The present lines of breeding will
have to be modified from year to year as
demands change.

Every swine grower knows that success
in pork production is best promoted by
having an abundance of good pasture The
hogs thrive best and make pork cheapest
on grass and clover, for, by nature, the
pig feeds on grass as well as grains, not
withstanding the comparatively small size
Of the stomach, says the Indiana Farmer.
Pigs like blue grass pasture well and it
comes early, but brood sows that are nurs-
ing should be turned on it with caution
and gradually get accustomed to 1t, other
wise 1t will affect the milk and the swine
grower will be wondering what is the mat
ter with his young pigs. Blue grass is
also fine fall pasture for brood sows, after
the clover has been nipped by the frost
Glover is fine summer pasture, hard to
improve upon. and coming in when blue
grass has become a little dry and unpal-
etable, and both the sows and pigs can
almost live upon ii until fall We say
almost, advisedly. for pigs feed naturally
on grass as well as grain, and not on grass
exclusively at any season. Clover should
be managed so that pigs will always have
1t young and tender. When it becomes
woody larger stock should eat it down or
II should be moved, so as to allow the new
growth to come on. Rape is also being
more largely grown for hog pasture and
il makes a very good one, especially in
the fall and early faIl-sown rye serves an
excellent purpo- after it has made a
good growth. With reasonable forethought
1t is no very difficult matter to provide
good pasture for the hogs the whole sea-
son through, and they will be all the bet
ter for il as well as more cheaply grown.
No one should try to raise hogs without
plenty of pasture throughout the season,
but remember also that it takes grain to
make a marketable hog and to keep brood
sows up to their work.

EOrse-radish.
Essace

Mrs C. c., Green Cove Springs, Fla. asks
for instructions in regard to the culture
CT horse-radish. She writes: II have the
plants and they are large and thrifty
looking, but the roots are very small
They were planted in May When shall
dig the roots for use and are the leaves
used for greens?"
Our columns two weeks ago contained
directions regarding the growing of horse
radish. 1t is propagated by planting the
small roots that grow out from the main
root. These roots range in size from that
of large straw to that of a lead pencil
They are cut into pieces to inches long
and planted out with dibble getting the
top of the cutting inches or so beneath
the surface. The soil must be rich to
make good merchantable roots. 1t makes
an immense quantity OF leaf growth and
the young leaves can be boiled as other
green's
Paintings should be made very early,
say in January, when the old roots are
dug up. The crop is ready to be dug in
Move mber or December and the seed roots
can be kept buried in soil until time to
plant The soil should be made as rich as
possible, and it should he deeply plowed
just before planting. The rows should be
8 feet apart ard tie plants set 20 TO q
inches in the row. Where there is any
market for the crop 1t should pay a very
good profit. Unfortunately it is not easy
TO find a good market for such things in
the South. At the North horse-radish
finds ready sale at the canning esta5-
lshments for IL is the most delightful of
cond. ments when grated and put up in
vinegar.

in confinement. with two yards TO each
flock. in the greater opportunities given
for improving and using the land, says
the Farm and Fireside. Only one half of
each acre will be occupied al the SINE
time by the fowls. the other half being
devoted to gardening. alternating the hecs
and the garden as occasion permits. The
half acre in vegetables will produce as
much as was formerly secured Oh ao
acre and no manure need be bought or
hauled. for not only will the hens (-ke
sheep scatter the droppings themselves
but they also accumulate a night la ge
quantity, which may be applied where 1t
will be most serviceable. One gr9at
source of fertility to the land from The
keeping of poultry, in addition TO the
droppings, is an enormous less Of food
from the trampling of the fowls, the pick
ings from the trough, and the discard
amount due 10 fermentation, all of VII CHI
serve as plant-food. Keeping fowls in
yards, removing them frequently and
turning under the manure, prevents the
fowls from living in filth, and permits Ct
an enormous production of crops. On
piece of light sandy soil that has been
considered almost barren. where a flock
of thirty hens were kept for year, was
grown an enormous crop of potatoes,
beans, cabbage and peas. The growth
was excessively rank, ana TOT tnT6e years
after the same plot was more productive
than any of equal space on the place.
The food bought annually for a flock is
equal TO bringing a large quantity of fer
tilzer on the farm. and in passing
through the body of the fowl il is reduced
to a condition fitting it for immediate use
by plants. The fresh earth absorbs ana
retains its valuable properties better than
the droppings from the roost can be saw
ed That fruit, vegetables and poultry
should be combined is a fact that will
some day be admitted by all; but when
the system is practiced the free arrange
n.cLt may be abolished, and lie he be
used not only for producing eggs and
poultry, but also for improving the soil,
just as is now done in France. and as is
done with sheep in England. The poultry
of France keep up the fertility of the
farms, yield large profits Of eggs and
meat, and increase the fiocks. yet the
fiocks are small and no ranges are permit
ted. If it is possible in France it is pos
sible here, and the time will yet come
when no small gardens will be cultivated
without a flock of hens as assistants in
stead of being considered enemies.

New Uses for the CornstaIk.

Five years ago a farmer thought that
the value of his corn crop ended when
the corn was husked. What was left
was worth perhaps 60 cents an acre as
fodder. Now experiments have estab-
lshed the value of the by-products of
the corn crop as perhaps second to no
agricultural product, and has about dou-
bled the receipts of corn growers, for the
stalk is probably as valuable as the dorm.
There Is A home market where the farmer
can get So 10 s. a ton for corn stalks, and
so Sc to $12 an acre for what used to bi u g
him 60 cents. The American Agriculurist
gives a list of what is made from corn
stalks. First, Cellulose, for packing cof-
ferdams on battleships; pyroXylin varnish
a liquid form of cellulose greatly used
cellulose for nitrate purposes in making
smokeless powder and other high explos-
ives: cellulose for packing, as it is the most
perfect non-conductor known against heat
or electricity; paper pulp and various
forms of paper both alone and mixed with
other kinds of paper stock; food for stock.
made from the fine ground outer shells Of
tho corn stalks; leaves and tassels also
furnishing a shredded or baled fodder
The material is also ground fine and used
as a mixed feed for stock. TO which Is
added various nltrogenous substances as
distillery refuse, sugar beet pulp and oCher
by-products; poultry foods of Two kinds
one for laying hens and another for fat
tening purposes. our hattleships Column
bia, New York and Olympia are protect
ed with corn stalk. ana many of the ba T.
teships being constructed in Russia, this
country and France are using the material.
A naval constructor declares that it is os
as much importance as Harveyized ermor
and smolSeless powder one hundred
pounds of air-dried corn stalks, stripped Of
leaves and tassel contain twent y-six
pounds of nodes or joints. twenty
pounds of pith and ifty-four pounds OF
shells or shives The nodes contain "a per
cent. OF pure cellulose. the pith So per
cent and the shells 40 per cent As to the
possibilities opened by this new develop
ment, the Agriculturist says:
To add only few dollars per acre to
each one of the 5000 900 acres devoted to
maize in the United States each year runs
into a sum so fabulous as hardly to bear
publication. But If 1t is assumed that only
the fields of the corn belt will be benefit

Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Kansas
and Nebraska, alone average close to 50. .

Will Aid the Farmers.

Mr.. J. G. Rhea, president of the Georgia
Bankers Association, being unable to at
tend the session of that organization at
Lithis Springs has made statement as
to what the bankers of Georgia will do
for the cotton farmers, as follows: THE
bankers of Georgia will. to the extent of
their ability. stand firmly by the farmer
and aid him in obtaining the very best
market prices for his cotton. l mean by
this that they will give their moral sup
port in every possible way and will adj
vance money to a reasonable amount up
on a pledge of the unsold cotton at rea-
sonable rates of interest and will hold the
same until the farmers are ready to sell.
This, of course, will enable any farmer 10
get money to pay all reasonable expenses
that he ought to incur in making the crop
and he can hold his cotton until prices
are such as to warrant his selling II"
