We learn that a number of farm
ers in this section contemplate grow
ing tobacco next year. Those who
know say that Union County has a
splendid soil for tobacco growing.
We hope that tobacco culture will be
given a fair test and hat it will
prove profitable. We need all kinds
of crops that will grow in this soil
and climate.-Monroe Enquirer.

cured the few cases of tick fever
that I had and this year not a tick
has appeared on any stock. Ny
method of clearing the farm of ticks
has been this: The cattle were in
sspected almost daily during the en-
tire season and no tick was allowed
to mature and drop off. I prevented
this by washing my cattle with a
strong solution composed of water,
kerosene oil and sulphur. If this So
luton is applied thoroughly it will
kill the young ticks and the old ones
as well. And if no ticks are allowed
to mature and drop in the pastures
the farm will soon be free of ticks.
But the tick gets in his work and
kills his COW before you know he is
present. 1t is therefore necessary
to cure the sick animal. The finest
COW in my herd to-day had last sum
mel as bad a case of fever as l ever
saw. My treatment was this: First
the usual liberal drench of salts; then
follow this with liberal drenches of
sulphur. / have lost only one ami
NAL since I began this treatment
and have saved quite a number. So
I believe it is a remedy, properly so
called.
How is a man whose farm is in
tested with ticks to start breeding
good cattle? I proceeded this way:
/ bought an Aberden-Angus bull one
year old. / had a plot of grass
w~ire-grass and clover in an old or
chard, about one acre. I ran a wire
about 100 feet long from one tree to
another-then the ring at the end
of the BULBS chain was put on this
wire. The bull could thus pass from
tree to tree and Craze about thirty
feet on either side of the wire. AS
often as necessary the wire was
moved. This gave the bull shade,
exercise and his grass. The COWS
we're brought to him. / have a fine
bunch of twenty black calves, and
now my bull is in the pasture and
doing we'll.
Thus it seems to me that I am now
safe in going ahead and selling all
my grade cattle and putting in their
places pure-bred cattle. And this is
my next step.

AS soon as they get through, open
the door into the hog house. They
will walk in, go right into their pens,
clean, well fed. They will lie down,
and it will only be a few moments be-
fore you will hear: "Augh!
a-u-g-ht" They are putting on fat
then. Open the door; see that the
windows are open; let them have
good ventilation.
Allow them to remain there until
3 o'clock in the afternoon. Then put
them out again; water them; let
them on your feeding floor again,
and about 4 or 4.3O open the door
and let them back into the hog house.
They will go in and lie there until
the next morning. Then they are
putting on fat.
I have fed 300 or 400 hogs that
way, and I have never had that hog
house but that I could lie down In
this suit-just got this suit to come
down here in-I could lie down in
that hog house and not soil my
clothes, and the man who does not
keep his hogs in that condition
ought to quit the business.
The hog is the cleanest domestic
animal we have, and if he is properly
cared for, there will not be one parti-
Gle of droppings or urine in that hog
house. They will set one corner off
into a kind of closet, and they will
go back and forward to that.
Give them just room enough to lie
down, and no more. It is an advan-
tage to have, your hog house divided
off into pens. If you haven't enough
hogs to fill up your hog house, shut
off part Of the space; give them just
enough room to occupy; and no
more.
You should keep your hog house
just as clean as this room. After
you have fed them, clean the feeding
floor. I would no more think of feed
ing my hogs on a feeding floor that
had not been cleaned Immediately af-
ter the last meal than [ would of eat
ing my dinner off the breakfast dish
es without washing. I have not done
it for thirty years. It is a small mat
ter. We have-a wooden hoe, made
out of a 2x6, three feet in length;
have an old saw for the lower edge.
This is wide enough to sweep off
three or four feet at a time. IF you
floor is smooth, and if you can do it
Immediately after feeding, you can
clean it off as clean as if swept. By
having the floor three feet high on
one side, you can clean it off, month
after month, and the refuse will not
pile up On you. No matter how wet
or muddy it is, if your hogs are con
fined in this building their feed is
always clean.
Feed your hogs corn and water. I
would add a few oats and perhaps a
basket or two of raw potatoes once
asweek, but my main feed would be

FATTEN1NG HOGS.

4nem.
Mr.. John Cownie, of Iowa, who has
made a fortune out of hogs, and
feeds and sells an average of $4,000
worth every year, furnishes the fol-
lowing points on pork production
which make about as good farm read
ing as it is possible to find just now:
In regard to fattening them, I am
aware that the young hog is the hog
in demand now, and the great object
is to sell the pigs yer before they
are hogs; when they are shoats less
than a year old. I have never pur-
sued that method. I never like to
sell a hog until he weighs 400 pounds
and over. I know that our profess
sOrs tell us that it takes more corn
to make a pound of pork on a hog
over 800 pounds in weight than be-
fore.
have my pigs come along in May,
after we are sure of good weather.
Then / let them run in the pasture
the whole summer, and they grow to
be long, lank, big-boned, and big mus
cled fellows. No fat on them yet.
The following September we com
mence ~fattening them. In February,
they weigh 400 pounds. A few years
ago, such hogs were at a discount.
It was all English bacon, English
bacon" I told them then that before
long they would be wanting fat hogs.
1t wasn't long. Of course you must
get them off at the right time, at the
regular season.
There is nothing that will fatten
hogs better than ear corn and water.
I remember the time when we used
to milk the COWS to get milk for the
hogs; used to sit up and cook feed
for them, and to make a swill for the
hogs. AS long as I did it, I never
had a good hog. I feed nothing to
my ~fattening hogs but ear corn and
clear water-cold water. I would
not let you cook it if you would do
it for nothing, and would not allow
you to grind it. The Lord started
out the hog with a pretty good set
of grinders.
Ny method of f~attening old hogs
is simply this: Ny hog house is kept
clean and well bedded.
I have a feeding floor on the east
of the hog house sixteen feet wide.
Every morning I go in and call
the hogs to get up. They come right
out into the yard where they are wa
tered.
Get them out at the same hour
every morning. In the winter, they
do not like to get up as early as in
the summer. Like the hired hands
in that respect; about sunrise suits
them.
Water them out in the yard. If
you do this, every particle of drop
pings will be left in that yard.
While they are out there have a
clean floor for them to feed on; crib
close by. The floor should be as

How an Orange County Farmer and
Stockman Has Removed the Great
Stumbling Block in the Way of Sue
cessful Stock Raising.
Some time ago a South Carolina
reader of The Progressive Farmer
wrote us regarding an article recent
ly contributed to the Breeders Ga
zette by Mr.. II. II. Williams, of
Orange County, this State, speaking
of the letter in such high terms that
we asked our correspondent to send
us a copy of it. In reply he wrote:
GAS soon as I return home I will
take pleasure in sending his article
on breeding cattle, the cattle tick,
etc. / consider it of immense ser
vice to the South-his experience in
Texas fever. In his article in the
Breeders Gazette he told of his
emulsion with which he washed cat
tie with ticks on them, but did not
give the quantity of the ingredients.
I will get this information from him
and you can give it along with his
article which will then make it COM
plete. You can't urge it too strong
ly> in you paper that we must raise
cattle, and good cattle, in the South"

it the following interesting explain

LeSieur of this city, is, if not the
original discoverer of asphaltum
in Utah, the man who first
brought the attention of capital
to this field of industry and caus-
cd the product to be brought into
market. He has been engaged
in prospecting and promoting
mining enterprises in Utah and
other western states for the psst
16 or IL years. and when the
Thunder mountain excitement
caused a stampede to the gold
fields of that region he left for
the diggings with view of get
ting in on the ground floor"
This was in March of this year.
He did not reach the Thunder
mountain district, however,
owing to a severe illness which
he contracted on the road, caused
by the hardships of the journey.
This made it necessary for him
to camp and wait till he got bet
ter or died. He did not die, al
though when he returned to
Provo he looked as if he had
been near the portals of death,
The gem-bearing mountain is
situated on Panther creek, about
45 miles northwest of Challis. Ii
is a mountain of porphyry near
the summit of the range. In
this porphyry the opals are en-
bedded and the matrix is so full
of stones that fifty can frequent
ly be taken from a chunk no big
ger than a mans head. Mr.. L.
Sieur brought with him over {
thousand of the gems, secured
during his last visit to the opa
mountain. These were taker
out by himself in three days
while others of the party were
attending to making Locations
and other work. Most of then
are broken, as the porphyry IL
which they are imbedded was
broken off from the lodges, anC
when thus broken appear in the
