sext best hog pasture. We are apt
to forget that the hog is a grazing
animal and green stuff is absolute
" necessary to his development.
Among other hog feeds are rape,
COOLERS, sweet potatoes, sorghum,
and COW peas. A hog can be fat
tened on these without corn, and
when corn is used four or five
weeks Of corn.feeding before mar
keting is all that should be done.
More than that is a waste and a
loss and not good for the animal.
Mr.. Singleton cited an instance
where one man Of his Acquaintance
fattened his hogs AZ a cost Of H.
cents per pound, using a little corn.
Another man who used all corn
for feeding his hogs estimated that
they cost him 80 cents per pound
and still the fattening was not sat.

not TO pay fancy prices for pedi-

fuli-blooded males should always

farmers INSTITUTE WORK.
Permanent Organization Eifeeted-Im-
portant Work Of the Session
Yesterday.

The second days work oil The
Brazos County Farmers Institute
was decidedly more important and
successful in the matter of creating
enthusiasm than the first, and in
the opinion Of the writer much
seed fell in good ground aud will
bring forth fruit abundantly "
I There was large attendance of
farmers, and there were also pres
ent instructors and students from
the A. and NJ college.
The morning session opened at
10 O'Clock with a practical talk on
growing and marketing Irish pota-
toes by Mr.. II. L. Singleton Of
Mckinney, Mr.. Singleton gave
the experience Of the Sherman
growers who are now famous for
their potatoes. He says they made
a failure the first year they went
into the business because Of the few
engaged in it and the work and the
difficulties in marketing. Now
they calculate on raising 30 to 100.
bushels Of potatoes per acre, and
the past season they had thirty
5uyers in Sherman competing for
the crop. He said Brazos county
possessed natural advantages for
growing potatoes so far superior to
those of north Texas that the farm.
g s down here could run north
Texas out of the field with earlier
maturing crops if they would or.
ganize and go to work in the right
way.
Prof. r. +. Smith gave his ex.
perience in growing potatoes in the
Brazos bottom. He said he made
a good crop without fertilizers last
year, but lost il all in marketing,
shipping a carload for which he
got no returns. He was not, how
ever, discouraged by the results
and has not lost faith in potatoes,
in proof of which he and some Of
his neighbors are going in for fifty.
five acres Of potatoes this year.
Raising hogs without corn" by
Mr.. Singleton was decidedly the
most interesting topic OF the morn.
ing session. Mr.. Singleton is
known throughout the state as a
practical hog man and his state
ments were received by those pres
ent as solid facts. He was also
able TO give satisfactory answers to
many questions fired at him from !
all parts of the house. Mr.Singleton
said diversifcation is necessary TO
success in hog raising as in every
thing else on the farm. A man
must make his living at home and
nave his own fruits and garden
.ruck, milk and butter, poultry
md hog products. He said he
lad learned since he had been here
hat $3.50 worth Of pork prod
nets have been shipped into Bryan
Turing the last year. This will
mpoverish any country. The
armers in the north raise hogs at
profit on land valued at 800 per
ere, and we pay freight on them.
They can only count on six pigs a
ear on account Of the severe win
ers, where we can raise twelve.
The fret thing to be done is TO
prepare the ground for forage
rops. Alfalfa is better pasture
or hogs than the red clover of the
iorth. You can almost make your
