COWPEAS, LUCERNE (ALFALFA)

1t would seem unnecessary, at this late
day. to urge upon farmers to plant plenty
OF cowpeas. 1t is one of those crops about
which there is almost unanImity of APP

found who is opposed to cowpeas except
among those who are endeavoring 20 ex.

excellent method, or decidedly better

CONSTIPATION OF SOW AND PIGS
Thomas Irwin. Sylacauga. Ala come
to you for advice as to how to treat a
brood SOW and pigs. The sow has been
constipated since before she had the pigs
Is now, and also the pigs are that way.
| feed her bran, corn meal and a hand
ful OF cotton meal with salt regularly.
The pigs are fed separate on about the
same ration except the cotton meal They
have had plenty of green stuff between
meals, rye and oats The pigs are nine
weeks old and have full liberty Of the
place. The sow is confined in Il good
sized lot. They are Poland Chinas
Answer have little doubt that the
constipation is due to too high feeding
on grain and insufficient exercise. l
would df necessary give the SOW II
to ozs. of Epson salts, also change the
food for a time, TO soft, easly-digested
food such rs hot bran mashes mixed with
tlaXseed tea. In case of severe constipa-
ton it may be necessary to give the sow
injections Of warm soap suds. Boiled flax
seed mixed with skinned milk is very
nutritious and viii prevent constipation
in the pigs Give the sow more liberty.
Also place charcoal where she can get
IT, or put it in her food Hogs require an
occasional change of diet.

VantagcOusly. how much should ] apply
to the acre in say to 3 II feet rows? An
early reply will he gratefully appreciated.
Arswer-Doubtless' the cotton meal
would cause a vigorous growth Of cow
pea vines, but it would hardly prove
profitable application because the meal
contains III l-2-7 which CHE per
cent? would be altogether too much nj

nize his old friend as soon as seen. Ger
tainly none who would not recognize It's

time to plant cowpeas. Plant them in the

Outstanding. l answer that very much the
larger part of the dry matter of plants
comes from the air For instance. the
amount taken from an acre of soil by q

of cotton yielding 200 pounds Of lint would
be not more than 161 pounds 1t would
consist of the following ingredients: Nj

40 pounds; magnesia, II pounds; phos-
phorc acid II pounds; other mineral mat
ter (iron. SILICA. sulphur sodium. etc),
25 pounds The remaining portions, which
are supplied by the air, are carbon. oxy-
gen and hydrogen. In other words, about
3 per cent (average) Of the dry matter
in plants is furnished by the soil. The
remaining 81 per cent comes from the
air.
