AND PLANTER.
SHEDDING VS.. PULLING.
IL II Cheaper to Cut and shred Corn
Fodder Than to Pull IL, and
IL Better For the Corn.

It is now clearly settled that there
will be a shortage in food stuff In
very many parts of the south. This
viii cause high prices for everything
that man and beast consumes, so it
is plainly the. duty and to the inter.
est of every southern farmer to save
all that he has made.
That the cornstalk is a valuable
hay plant has been settled. 1t is no
longer a matter of controversy.
Shredded corn hay is about as good
as any other hay. This crop does
not have to be planted and made, but
Is already made. 1t is simply a qucs-
ton of taking care of what you have
on hand. There are millions Of dol
lars worth of cornstalks standing in
the fields of the south, ready to be
made into first-class food. There is
from one to two tons per acre of this
hay standing in every corn field in
the south. 1t il plainly your duty to
cut and save it. To those of you who
have not yet pulled fodder, we wish
to say that it is cheaper to cut and
shred, than it is to pull fodder. II
does not injure the corn to cut the
cornstalks, but actually helps it. 81
Numerous experiments carefully
made, prove conclusively that the
corn fills out better and weighs more
when cured this way than when per-
mitted to stand in the field. The
stalks made into hay are worth near
ly as much as the grain, so that you
about double the value of your corr
crop by shredding the stalks. If you
have two dollars lying before you,
why not take them both instead OF
taking one and leaving the other.
To those of you who have already
pulled your fodder, we wish to say
that the stalks are yet worth saving
and shredding. While it is true that
you have lost something and spent
something. in pulling the fodder, you
can yet save your stalks. Prompt at
tontion to this matter will go long
way toward supplying roughage for
the cattle through the coming winter.
So we again say with all the en-
phasis that we know how, cut your
corn and shred 1t into hay instead
of pulling fodder. Learn new and
better way instead of following in the
old one.
We are not able to 60 on with our
old-fashioned, wasteful ways of farm
ing. We must learn to practice more
economy. BY this we do not mean to
learn TO spend less, but learn
to make more that we may
have more to spend. We mean
to learn to save what you have al
ready made, and spend what you
have made to better purpose. He-that
makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before, is said to be
q benefactor to the race. He that
learns to save two blades that he has
already grown, where he has been
saving one before, is equally bene-
factor to the race.-Southern Guilt
vator.

HERE AND THERE.

When sheep, or hogs, or cattle,
are low in price, then is the time to
buy. Then when prices are up you
will have some to sell. Many people
reverse this process and become dis
couraged.
Hogs are adapted to every farm,
for the simple reason that they will
eat almost anything. Even that
which other animals have eaten, but
failed to digest, they win also con-
vert into pork.
The average cost of keeping q
dairy cow is placed by Dairy and
Creamery at s32 per year. But to
feed cow properly on $32 worth one
must know something of digestible
nutrients and balanced rations.
AS like has tendency to produce
like, 1t is good policy, when sow is
found to be a profitable breeder,
bringing large filters and affording
them an abundance of nutriment, to
save brood sows from such mothers.
There is no worse animal to put
in toan orchard than the goat, because
he is browser of the truest type,
but for preparing brush or timbered
land that is to be put into orchard
or any kind of fruit, he has no equal.
Every farm product should be
marketed in as attrctiye form as
possible. Eggs that are soiled are not
attractive and II sold at all only bring
a reduced price. Nice, clean, fresh
looking eggs never beg for custom
ers.
Wood ashes should never be com
posted, or mixed with an nitrogen
GUS fertilizer, but should be applied
separately and only on the surface.
Rains will do the rest. There is no
better fertilizer for orchards than
wood ashes.
ANY farmer whose land viii grow
good alfalfa can make more money
raising hogs than by selling hay, even
at the highest price hay ever brought.
The best results are secured when
small rations of grain are fed with
the green alfalfa.
Hogs are raised for a single pur.
pose, namely, to produce meat, there.
fore we never hear of the dual-pur.
pose pig. 1t follows, also, that the
hog is in duty bound to make the
popular market weight in as short .
time as possible.
Men who cultivate land worth
only $3.50 per acre ought not to ex-
pect more than IS per acre profit.
That would be 200 per cent. on the
value Of the land. and even 100 per
cent. is >considered . good profit on
invested capital.
The treasury department il kept
busy answering the queries of the
cleo manufacturers regarding their
many proposed methods of evadipg

sions of the department have been

HANDLING THE CORN CROP
From It-Not ALI the Value In
- a. the Grain. SfS4F

The most profitable way to handle
the corn crop is to harvest it with a
good cornbinder and shred the stalks
with a good husker and shredder. BY
harvesting the corn with binder the
stalks are bound into well-shaped
bundles for convenience in shocking
and sacking. 1t is important and
very desirable that corn intended to
be shredded should be cut with
cornbinder. When bound into bun
bles corn can be handled easier and
in much less time than is possible
when the stalks are cut and placed
loose in the shock; moreover, double
shredder if the stalks are bound into
bundles instead of being cut and
shocked loosely. The practical utili-
ty of the cornbinder has been well
demonstrated and established, and
this machine is rapidly coming into
general use wherever corn is grown.
Until within recent years, the grow
ing of corn was primarily for the
grain, the stalks and fodder being
generally considered as having little
value. Great opportunities, however,
are now offered to agriculturists of
corn districts for profitably increas-
ing or doubling the value of the crop
by shredding the stalks and fodder.
When properly shredded and utilized
the corn stalks and fodder have
feed-value equal to the grain value Of
this great cereal. For feeding pur-
poses corn slower is better than hay.
With the aid Of the husker and shred
der, that portion of the corn crop
which in former years has gone to
waste, can now be utilized and trans
formed into feed which is equal to the
grain value of the corn, and by using
the husker and shredder the agricul-
turist is therefore enabled to double
the value Of his crop.-Dixie Farmer.

The discovery of gold in Australia
half a century ago brought many
thousands of honest adventurers and
also not few dishonest desperadoes
to the antipodes- For the benefit of
the latter costly jails had to be erect
ed, and some of these corrective insti-
tutions are now no longer required.
After lying idle for some time the
Jail at Fillmore, near Melbourne, q
district peopled for the most part
by Irish settlers, was converted by
the government into a creamery and
butter factory. 1t is now proposed
to utilize the Jail at marlborough in
the same state-victoria- similar

tary recently paid it an unexpected
visit and found to his surprise that
there were more wardens than pris-
oners.-London Chronicle.

FEEDING THE PIGS.
to How to Obtain the Best
Results With swine.

Having bought or bred our ideal
foundation stock, we have only solved
half the problem.
The highest skill in breeding must
be supplemented by some system of
feeding which will perpetuate the
quality already secured and dupli-
cate it many times at a minimum
cost.
In feeding we have . double
problem.
Our first and greatest considera-
ton is economy.
We must not sell for six cents,
pork which cost us six and one-fourth
in the home pens.
We must further consider the effect
Of the various foods upon the quality
of the finished meats.
In this respect our home markets
are not 30 critical as those of Great
Britain or Canada.
Fortunately in dealing with the hog
we are not limited to any narrow bill
Of fare; he is an animal of healthy
appetite and wide range of taste.
1t seems to US that many feeders
make most serious mistake in serv-
ing like rations to hogs of all ages.
1t pays to "baby" your hogs while
they are still babies.
The first three months of a pigs
life are the critical ones.
A right start means everything.
Without any question corn is and
must continue to be the staple food
Of the corn-belt states.
Any system of feeding which at
tempts to ignore this fact is not APP
plicable to this wide territory.
But feeders make mistake when
they make hog out of baby shoat.
Every tendency OF corn feed is to
develop fat.
What the youngster needs is mus
cle-making food, something to make
him grow and build up bone, sinew
and lean meat. Sc
Nothing has yet been found which
fills the bill SO well as a ration of
which the basis Is skim-milk in con-
junction with shorts, mlddlings and
Underground oats or barley.
All these are fesh-formers.
We know skim-milk diet is not
possible upon majority of farms In
corn country, 80 we must find a
substitute.
We have found that for the Arst
eight weeks of young pigs life it is
both safer and cheaper to feed him
through the medium of his dam.
The youngster weaned at six weeks
is likely to carry harsh coat and to
have serious trouble with his diges-
ton.
We provide creeps, or crivate runs.
for the young pigs, permitting ther;
to reach shallow pans or troughs in
which we place . little skim-milk or
butter milk.
We have had most excellent results
from the addition of oil meal to the
young pigs ration.
BY this method the young pigs are
early encouraged to eat, SO that when
weaving time comes there is NO check
to their growth
We feed NO corn until the pigs are
three months old.
BY this treatment, coupled with
plenty of yard exercise. they develop
good, healthy frsmess

Cotton Picking by rIschlnery.

Greenville, Miss, April 28.-The first
regular contract ever made in the world
to pick cotton by machinery was closed
in Grcenville few days since, and the
first experiment with the machine will
be made on the Rosestock plantation, in
Washington county, next fall. A Pitts
burg man named Thomas K. Morris is
the inventor of the device and for the
past ten years lie has been conducting
experiments in the vicinity of Greenville.
He now claims that the device has been
modelled on practical working basis
and feels confident that he will revolu-
tionize the cotton picking industry of the
South. The machine, he admits, is value
less except on the level uplands, low val
leys and prairie grounds, but even if it
should prove successful with this limit
its effect on the labor question i'll the
South will be very marked, as ,nillions
Of dollars are expended each year for the
labor employed in cotton picking.
