In the South.

ern. states, but whose qualities
we are only beginning to appre-
ciate. takes kindly to our soil and
climate. Red clover finds in u
red claws a natural heritage. Sor-
ghum, sofa beans, hairy vetch,
artichokes, the velvet bean, the
cowpea and Spanish peanuts all
thrive we'll singly and some OF
them in combinations, producing
as rich and fine mixtures for hog
pastures as can be produced any
where.
According to the census OF 1900
there we're 63.297,249 hogs in the
United States. OF this number
1885 900 we're found in Tennes-
see. The population Of Tennes-
see is about 2,020,C0O, so that
there is less than n hog owned
for each citizen. Tennessee leads
all the south Atlantic and south
central states in the number of
hogs held. on farms with the ex-
ception of Kentucky. The num-
Der of hogs held on southern
farms is therefore inadequate to
supply the needs of the popula-
ton. AT the present time the
south is paying a heavy tribute
to the farmers of the central west
for hog products, and this in the
face of the finest natural environ
ments for pork production, in
spite of the possession of a splen-
did home market and the ability
to produce the highest quality of
pork at a very low cost. Surely
the outlook for the development
of swine husbandrv in the south
is very bright. The population
of the United States in round
numbers is 76,50O, 900 and rapidly
increasing. The market for pork
products at home and abroad was
never better than it is TODAY.
There is less than n hog held
on the farms for each citizen. and
especially isthis true in the south.
The southern farmer ought to
supply his home markets with
their meat; he ought to have more
hogs to sell, and keep at home the
millions of dollars now annually
sent north for hog products.
The following, from Col. Chas.
Shuler Of Keachie, louisiana, ex,
plains in detail a successful and
profitable method of hog raising
in the South:
"Hog raising a be successful

been a success on my farm for

expression that you must have

Now as to method: | want my
sows, as near as possible, to
have two filters of pigs each,-
the first about the last of August
or the first of September, the
second about the last of March.
Everything born before the first
of April goes to the smoke house
the following winter.
AS to the matter of feed: |
have pastures containing Bcrmu-
da and native grasses, with plen-
tv of wafer; containing also for
est trees for shades and acornS.
For winter pastures / SOW oats
and vetCh in October, | also
feed, during winter, such nub-|
bins of corn as would be unfit to
feed my work stock. In March
l sow early amber sorghum
broadcast, for pasture. 1t will
come in about the latter part of
April, and it is astonishing the
number of sows aud Pigs that
can be kept in a growing and
healthy condition on a few acres
of sorghum. The latter part of
May brings in the oats. Let the
hogs harvest all YOU don't want
for your work stock. June will
bring in the erly sugar corn. Let
the hogs get ear, stalk and all.
Latter part of June and July
come in the peas,-the Whippoo-
will and other early varieties.
Then commence crowding the
hogs you sXpect to kill in the fall
and winter. In July your roast
ing ears-stalk and all-With
peas sown broadcast in 1t, will
come into play. In August the
Spanish goober, Or peanut, which
will permit you to cut a good crop
of hay, and besides furnish you
the best hog food at comparative
ly small cost, will come in; and
that, with sorghum sown in
drills, will be iCeal food and run
you through September. In Oc-
tober and November the sweet
potatoes, second planting of
Spanish peanuts, and later on
running varieties of peas come
n In December, turn your
hogs IN your oat field, which has
been planted in Mexican June
corn, peas, sweet corn,and Span
ish peanuts, and you can wind
up your hogs ready for the
slaug hter-pen, and kill them
whenever the temperature gets
down to IS or 40 above freezing.
"You will see from the above
that l let my hogs do their own
harvesting, and eat such food,
and in such quantity as they lik,
best, always giving them cce>s
to blenty of grass and wat,r.
You Will also notice that my mai,
dependence for fattening is or
peas and Spanish COOLERS, which
are both soil restorers and arc
easily and cheaPly grown.
AS to loss from disease, J would
say that if ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions are taken, there is very
little loss"

In the proper column this week APP
pears the announcement of Sam p.
Wetherill, of Lake Charles. a candi-
date for clerk of court of the grand
old parish of Calcasieu. Mr.. Wether-
i'll is native born Louisianian and
to many voters of the parish needs no
Introduction, as he has been promi-
nently identified in both parish and
State politics for number of years.
His Democracy is simon pure, of the
old school variety, and his services
for that cause have been unfaltering
and answering. He is eminently
qualified to discharge the many duties
of the Office to which he aspires, and
if the coveted plum should drop in
his hat the democrats of the parish
would have the assurance that man
of merit, honesty and integrity was
elected, and would never regret hav-
ing exalted him to the Office.

A. ID. McFarIain.

Among the announcements in this
weeks issue of the JOURNAL will be
found the name of A. d. McFarlain,
candidate for the Office of representa-
tive of Calcasieu parish. Mr.. Nc
Farlain is a native Louisiaian, for
many years prominent business
man of Jennings and is one of the
most influential democrats in eastern
Calcasieu. He has been a tireless
worker in the upbuilding of the cause
of democracy and his services in be-
half of the party have added materi-
ally in making this parish the banner
democratic stronghold of the state
He has been an honest, enterprising
and progressive citizen, both in pub
lie and private relations, possesses
all the qualifications for the perform
ance of the duties devolving upon a
representative, and his candidacy will
doubtless receive strong support
throughout the parish. If elected the
voters will have made no mistake in
casting their ballots for him, as he
would make most efficient officer.

Leon Chayanne.

The JOURNAL today is authorized
to announce the candidacy of Leon
Chavanne, of Lake Charles, for the
office of assessor and registrar, sub
iect to the action of the democratic
primary to be held in January. Mr..
Chavanne is we'll known throughout

to the people. He has for a number
of years been one of the most inf1uen-
tial business men of the parish me-
tropolis, is at present member of
the police jury and the parish demo-
cratic central committee. He has been
life long democrat and is at all
times ready to render his services to
the cause of democracy. In his bust
ness dealings he has ALWAYS proven a
man of noble character and principle
and would make an honest, conscien-
tious public official.
