the matter that has ben most profita-
Bile to me. What | say in regard to
this animal is not theory, but is per-
sonal experience, at close range.
THE first requirement in the hog in
dustry is a good hog house. There is
too much risk from loss unless you
have proper shelter for both brood sows
and young hogs.
Another important thing is the pas
ture.
"All the leading breeds are good
enough for me.
Il never lose a sow in narrowing
not one.
You are no hog man unless you are
on good terms with your sows.
ut requires brains to make good
hogs.
Il have my pigs come along in May,
after we are sure of good weather.
Then l let them run in the pasture the
whole summer, and they grow to be
long, lank. -boned and big muscled
fellows. No fat on them yet. The
following September we commence fat
tening them. In February they weigh
400 pounds.
There is nothing that will fatten
hogs better than ear corn and water.
with shoats it is entirely different.
Oats and shorts make and ideal feed
for young shoats
THE hog is the cleanest domestic
animal we have. if properly cared for.
II never had hog cholera on my farm,
but they had it all around me of late
years.
After I have my hogs fattened,
would not drive them to market, but
haul them. Then | would have my
cars we'll bedded; ride with them my
self; go with them to Chicago; stay
with them in the yards, water, feed
and stay by them until they cross the
scales. Stay right with them
There is money in the hog business
If it is properly conducted. There is no
money in it If it is not properly con-
Quoted. There is no reason why science
cannot be employed in feeding hogs any
more than in the construction of rail-
way bridge. You have to think. You
have to experiment. Every man is the
architect of his own fortune. Let him
get UP and hustle, and do some think
ing, get action on himself. and luck
will follow him.

A Horse Thief Caught.

Washington, Ga, Jan. 5.-Aleck Will
lis, a negro, was arrested last night for
horse stealing. Tuesday a very fine an
imal belonging to Mr.. w. j. Stone dis
appeared from the rack in front of
Bottoms blacksmith shop. Mr.. Stone
made through investigation and
learned that negro with horse went
in direction of Lexington Mr. Stone
went at once to Lexington and tele-
graphed back that the negro had been
seen returning this way without the
horse. Last night a telephone mes
sage reached here that the negro was
on Mr.. f. B. Sims place, ten miles
north of Washington. Mr.. b. IL.
Bolton and Clearance Corbin went out
later and brought Willis to the city
where he was Jailed. He stubbornly de-
MED when arrested knowing anything
of the horse, but this morning admit
ted the crime. He says the horse is six
miles from Athens on the Bogart place.
Mr.. Stone was wired to proceed to
Athens and get the animal.

for their oil seeds. frim which is made
an oil of commerce. European stock
raisers have long been developing some
varieties of rape for a stock feed One
of the best varieties is that developed
in England in the vicinity of Essex,
and hence known as dwarf Essex rape
This variety has d decided advantage
over all others, at least over all others
known on this side of the water It
has heavy. thick. sucoulent leaf. The
plant itself is a biennial. while there
are many varieties of rape that are
ANNALS. For forage uses the biennial
is far superior to the annual, for this
reason: The biennial makes only a
succulent growth the first year, MAX
ing woody growth and forming seed
the second year. The period of wood
and seed formation is stage at which
1t is of very little use for forage But
this can be avoided by pasturing it
only the first year, making a new
seeding each year. The ANNALS. on
the other hand, make all of their
growth during single season. They
give material for pasturage while they
are in the succulent stage, but soon
become woody and begin to form seed,
when they are of very little value for
live stock.
The Dwarf Essex rape is very sue
culent, both as to its leaves and stems.
On ordinary soil it will produce twenty
tons. Great care is needed in securing
seed. For some years 1t was almost
impossible to get the true Dwarf Es-
sex when it was ordered. To illus
trate the difficulty of getting good seed,
we cite the fact of one of our Ameri-
can experiment stations that sent to
Canada and obtained seed from the
same importing firm that had been
supplying the station at Guelph They
purchased 300 pounds, but the rape
that came up proved to be an annual
variety of rape known as Hybrid Bird
Rape.
Rape may be sown from early spring
till late summer even as late as Au-
gust. The best results as to crop are
obtained by seeding about July l.
Sowing broadcast is practiced, but
drill sowing is preferred, for the rea-
son that less seed is required; the
plants can be readily cultivated and
the animals in pasturing do not tram
pie ii down so readily.
We are certain that the rape plant
should be given a larger place in our
American agriculture than it now oc-
cupies. 1t is plant we'll adapted to
varied conditions and especially SER
viceable in emergencies.

TO ORGANIZE AT TAMPA.

Tampa Tribune: The naval stores
operators of this section of the state
have been called to meet in Tampa on
Jan. Z, next Tuesday, for the consid-
Grafton of important matters affecting
the industry. The purpose of the meet
ing. as stated to the Tribune by a
prominent operator yesterday, is the
organization of a sub association of
the general association of operators,
which was recently organized at jack
sonville. The majority of the naval
store operators of South Florida have
not yet identified themselves with this
general association, as they were un-
able to go to Jacksonville at the time
the organization was effected. The
sub-association at Tampa will be more
convenient for them and enable them

proceedings and benefits of the main
organization.

Rape.

The rape plant has come into a good
ten years, says the Farmers Review.
Rape is known botanically as Brasslca
campestris. variety napus. Brassica is
the family name for cabbage. turnip and
mustards. The rape plant is so close
~ allied to the cabbage and turnip
that In the early stages OF their growth
the similarity in appearance Is very
striking. There are many yarities OF
rape. just as there are many varitles
OF cabbages and turnips. These va.
rieties have been largely created by
European cultivators.
While the rape plant has been
known In America for little more than
ten years. u has been known and APP
preciated In Europe for q long time.
some varieties are grown IN Europe

Gainesville Sun: The little 4-year-
old girl of Belle Harris, a laborer on
the Ramsey plantation at Wacahoota,
met her death by fire Thursday. The
girl had been left at the house with
another child and the two were playing
in the fireplace. The girls clothes
caught fire and in a few seconds she
was wrapped in flames. Will Tate was
the nearest to where the child had run
in her mad flight for help, and he sue
ceeded in eXtinguishing the flames, but
not before the child had been so badly
burned to prevent all hope of recovery.
Her flesh was in some places cooked
TO the bone and she died that after
noon.

KILLED BY HAMMERLEss PISTOL.

Jackson Herald: Mr.. G. w. Guffin's
son, Idus. about r or 10 years OF age
was accidentally shot during the
Christmas holidays. and died soon
thereafter from the effects of the
wound Several young people were VS.
itng the home of Mr.. Guftin. One or
the crowd had a hammerless pistol
and all tho young people went out near
the residence to shoot at a spot or tar
get. The fun was great with the young
people. In the crowd were several
girls, one of whom shot at the spot
and turned around with great delight
because of her skilled craftsmanship.
Just as she did so the pistol fired and
the bullet penetrated the bowels Of
young Guffin and lodged in the dorsal
vertebra. The young man fell to the
ground. The young lady was almost
frightened to death, for she knew not
just the cause of the pistol firing. The
young man was carried into the house
and medical aid was quickly sum-
moned. and everything was done for
him that could be done, but he sue
cumbed to the wound and died some
time during the night.

THE LAKE TRAGEDY.

One of the saddest and most
shocking affairs that ever occurred
in West Tennessee, and at the Same
time the foulest, most outrageous,
most atroclous and most unexpect-
ed, was the cruel and horrible death
of Constable Robert Sidney Dun
ming on the 18th inst, which was
due to the fiendish act Of John n.
Cook, at the home of the latter,
The prime cause was that Mrs.
Cook, teacher of the Cronanville
school, had whipped Mr.. Dnnnings'
little daughter for an act which
was alleged she had done,
but which she very positively said
she never did think of doing, and
which there is no season to, suppose
she did, froma the fact it was far
beyond her ability. The punish-
ment was very severe, and wholly

agreed to do so. AS a consequence
