The color question is responsible for
much dislike for the red hog but the
utility and profitableness of this breed
are gradually overbalancing the color
objection.
There is no better cross for pork
than the red hog on any of the differ
ent breeds or grade sows. The rustling
constitution of the Duroc-Jersey male
is always apparent in his progeny, pro-
ducing strong bone, large frame and
vigorous growth when PROPERLY fed
and cared for.
The Chester White is a little more
attractive in form and perhaps a lit

roc-Jersey is somewhat ahead in
growth and size at maturity. 1 believe
from my own experience with them,
as well as others, they are the hog
for the business farmer to "tie to-" as
they are very prolific and hardy.
Most all Duroc breeders, | believe,
have mated their breeding stock with
view of cutting OUT all specimens
showing black hair or spots on the
skin and are working to produce a
solid, cherry and uniform colored hog.

About TOmntOes-PrOtectin the
Vines.

While In the small nome garden there
are several ways of stalking tomatoes
50 that the vines are kept raised above
the soil, thus keeping the Irrit from
rotting, there is only one way of doing
this economically where an acre or
more is grown.
IT is true tomatoes do very we'll tied
un to single stake three feet ;ons,
hut even this l.. tedius when we come
to stake the nearly 5000 plants set on
cue acre.
For many years we obse we'd the plon
OF setting tomatoes in alternating n5r-
row and wide rows-the first two rows
being only two let apart ami allowing
a distance of four feet between the
second and third rows. The land being
we'll plowed and the fertilizer harrow
ed in the rows were laid off at these
distances and the plants set two and a
half feet apart in the rows.
Before the plants grow so large as
to fall over ploW out the narrow mid
dies thoroughly if the soil is stiff and
inclined to run together. If light soil

with a cultivating harrow or a sweep.
The wide. or four-foot, middle can be
cultivated two or three times oftener
than the narrow middles.
AS IHe vines grow anu SDEedu d

rapidly and when properly done fully
80 per cent. Of the fruit will be kept
from contact with the earth. BY keep
ing the vines clear of the soil it will
oftentimes in rainy years make diff
ference of 100 bushels and sometimes
more per acre. This is the only way
of accomplishing this without the use
of stakes.
Another good way of stalking toma-
toes is to check the land six by six feet
insert a strong stake, and set three
plants to each stake. tine latter being
the center of an 1S-inch triangle. Be-
fore the plants fall over encircle them
with a strong twine, drawing them to
the stake. little later put another
twine a foot higher. An acre grown
in this manner will require 1900
stakes and $500 plants. and the lat
ter will produce more marketable fruit
than an acre with 5000 vines that are
allowed to lie on the ground. S. A. c.

Red AIbumen Is n Fake.

This paper received a letter last
| month from a New York "pharmacist''
saying that if a certain portion of ''red
albumen" was mixed with black OIL. red
pepper and two teaspoonsfuls of this
mixture was added to each quart of
the morning mash, it would make hens
lay all winter. He quoted an experi-
ment tried by his father and brother
in which they obtained wonderful re-
suits. similar letter was sent to
probably all the agricultural and poul-
try papers and many of the weeklies
and dailieS throughout the country.
with the intention of arousing the in
terest of farmers and poultry keepers
in red albumen, and creating a sale for
the same.
An inquiry among leading wholesale
and retail druggists of this city by
American Agriculturist showed, as sup
posed, that no such article as red al
bumen is known to the trade. It is
needless to say that we did not pub
lish the letter. which was shrewdly
designed to advertise what appeared
to us at the time, fake. A partially
anonymous letter was recently re-
ceived saying that "the so-called red
albumen comes from South America.
where 1t is known as Beckoe albumen,
and is mineral product which con-
tains about 80 per cent. of the purest
albumen." Other fairy tales of the
marvellous qualities of this article in
the production of eggs are cited.
The' scheme to introduce this article
has been shrewdly worked and drug
gists all over the country have had
frequent calls for it. Many of them
have sold blood albumen, a we'll
known article to the drug trade Fur
ther investigation shows that this red
albumen is made by an Ohio concern
whose name is enough to condemn it,
This concern also put out black pepsin
several years ago, per algretta and
other articles. which have kept chem
lists of the Department of Agriculture
and the experiment stations busy in
denying their usefulness and showing
up the fraudulent claims made for
them. The so-called red albumen
which Is sold at 40 cents per pound
wholesale and co cents retail is made
OF red pepper and ground oyster
shells, q product within reach OF every
poultryfnan at low cost.

kissimmee Valley Gazette: Mr. An
drew Barrett the able manager of the
Shaker colony at Peento. was in town
on Wednesday and gave us some in
formation regarding their experiment
during the past season with sugar cane.
From less than one acre they KRve
made nearly $40 gallons of excellent
syrup, the quality of which is so good
that they can readily sell it for so
cents a gallon. and we have learned
from those who have used 1t that they
consider it equal to the best Louisiana
syrup. They have adopted the plan
of putting it up in five-gallon tins, and
their method of double straining in
sures a perfectly pure syrup. They
have also boiled out Will Tyson's crop
which has resulted in the excellent
yield of $50 gallons from exactly two
acres of land. Mr. Barrett is so pleased
with this years experiment that he is
going to put in a considerably enlarged
area this season.

BUYING GEORGIA GOODS FROM

Macon manufacturers of garments of

that they cannot sell their goods in

them. The Georgia merchants. they
claim, are perfectly willing to pay the
commission charged by the broker, and
also the freight that would be re-
quired If the goods are shipped to New
York and back, but il never seems to
occur to them that they could go
straight to the manufacturer in Geor-
gia and buy the goods without going
