food they supply. but it has seemed necessary to do
this in order to supply food during August and
September and to enable us to grow two crops
during the year.
Of all the crops suggested peanuts are probably
the best, but they do not fit in we'll with anything
except spring sown rape or oats, and neither of
these is certain to give satisfactory results.
There are at least two other excellent crops for
hogs, chufas and sweet potatoes, not included in
our scheme, but they we're left out for the same
reason that more peanuts we're not put in (not-
withstanding my high opinion of their value),
namely, they must be planted in early summer
and are not grazed until late fall or winter, and
it, therefore, is difficult to grow any other crop
on the land during the same year, unless, as
stated, we select spring sown rape or oats, which
are not particularly needed and are not so salts
factory as burr clover or crimson clover for April
and May grazing.
AS to the number of hogs that may be supported
on these five acres, so much depends upon the
fertility of the land and the character of the sea-
son that it would be useless for me to offer an
opinion. However, one point should not be over
looked. 1t has been found that when the best
growth is desired these grazing crops only supply
from one-fourth to three-fourths the grain ration
that would be necessary to obtain such growth,
and it, therefore, becomes the part of wisdom to
feed some grain while the hogs are grazing, near
ly all, if not all, of these crops.

Profitable Turkey Raising.
Editors Progressive Farmer
March 1, 1904.

Some time ago | promised to write you a piece
on turkey-raising. To be successful, the greatest
care should be taken with them while young. They
can't stand rain nor dew; it is best to have a
house to keep them in at night and during wet
weather. l usually keep the hens confined for
two weeks and let the "Httle turkeys" have access
to the sunshine.
The best food for them the first two weeks is
boiled eggs mixed with scraps from the table with
a small sprinkle of black pepper. [ don't give any
raw food to my little turkeys for the first two
weeks. They should have plenty of fresh water.
| have been raising turkeys for twenty years,
but never realized much profit until the past few
years. At first | had the common breed, but [ be-
came SO interested in turkey raising, that [ or
dered me a Mammoth Bronze tom from New Jer-
sey, which cost me s. $50. That seems dear for
one tom, but it has doubly paid me.
There should be some nicely arranged nests
where lntruders canOnt modest them while setting.
Tobacco dust is the best thing to prevent lice,
s~prinkled thick in the nests.
The turkeys lay in the plantation, and when
they are ready to set, we bring them home.
There should not be over twenty eggs to each
turkey-hen. The first week in May is the best
time for them to hatch.
l once set a turkey and did not have enough
eggs, SO | let her set one week, then put chicken
eggs under her. The turkey Matched four chicks.
They roamed over the plantation with the tur-
keys, and were very thrifty and grew fast. We
used all of them for the table but one speckled
hen. She got grown but never stopped going with
the turkeys. She would come home to lay, then
roam over the plantation and find the turkeys.
She laid one time with the turkeys off from home
in the same nest. All turkey raisers know how
hard it is to find the nests, as they lay sometimes
a half mile from home. Would you believe it p
that hen learned when a turkey laid, to cackle I'M
til we found the nest. A negro found her one-half
mile from home with the turkeys-thought she
was a wild chicken and stole her. [ have been
troubled since finding the nests.
We should not try to prevent turkeys from
roaming, for their disposition to ramble is the
cause of the fine flavor of their meat.
You will notice that turkeys eat very deliberate
ly, taking a bite here and there as though it were
a serious matter; and walking slowly along as
they feed, thus insuring exercise and great variety
in their food.
Ny turkeys brought me $40. I borrowed the
money from my wife to help pay fertilizer bill"
as [ raise tobacco.

while with beef COWS the per centage (of calves
runs from 80 to IS. This difference in favor of
the COW we believe will amount to enough to cover
any income we may secure from the work of the
mare.
After bringing draft mares from the North and
West great care should be exercised that they be
not over worked the first year while becoming ac-
climated, as there is danger of running their
wind.
Some things will come and others will go, but
the hog and steer will continue in the future as
in the past to be the standby of the American
stock farmer.

A Succession of Selling Crops for Hogs.

A Succession of Selling Crops for Hogs.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
I have five acres of sandy land 1 wish to divide
into sections of one acre each, planting each Sec
ton i'm a crop of some kind for hogs, the hogs to
harvest the crops themselves, and I wish you to
suggest a rotation of different kinds of crops on
the different plats that will furnish a continuous
succession the year around.
Any information as to what to plant, and when
to plant it, and how to manage to obtain best
results, will be thankfully received and appre-
ciated.
I want to get it arranged so that when they
exhaust the crop on one acre I will have another
acre ready for them just this way the year around.
How many hogs do you think | could manage
this way?
OWEN D. MILLIKEN.
Brunswick Co., N. @.
(Answe%by Dr.. TAFT Butler, State Veterinarian
There appear two important problems involved
in this inquiry: First, such a succession of crops
is required as will furnish grazing for the hogs
every day in the year, and second, the greatest
possible amount of food must be grown on the
ground, consistent with the first demand. Had
six or eight lots been devoted to the purpose in
hand the task of advising a proper or suitable
succession of crops would have been much easier.
1t seems imperative that each lot should grow not
less than two crops a year. Again, if grazing can
be had on at least two lots during each month of
the year the land at our disposal will necessarily
support a larger number of hogs.
In the plan | am about to suggest | take it for
granted that it is desired to begin using this land
for grazing hogs as soon as possible the coming
summer, otherwise a slight change in the arrange
ment of the crops might be made.
Lot PLANT rape or oats at once, which ought
to give some grazing in May and June, and then
plant in peanuts for food during November, De
ccmber and January.
Lot 2.-Plant early sorghum which will give
feed during July and August and then plant
Dwarf Essex Rape for grazing from December to
March.
Lot Sow cowpeas as early as possible this
spring and when these are off SOW rape in Sep
TENDER or early in October for grazing during
January, February and March.
Lot 4-Sow cowpeas in June, and when off SOW
oats and hairy vetch for grazing next March,
April and May. This lot might be sowed to oats
at once, and would furnish grazing before time
to sow peas in June.
Lot 5.-Sow COW peas in May or June and when
off SOW burr clover or crimson clover for grazing
next April and May.
The weak points in this arrangement are for
July, August and September. For instance, in lot
2 we have planted sorghum in order to get some
food for July, but, for hogs, | consider sorghum
the least desirable of any of the crops suggested.
We have laso planted co wpeas more frequently
than desirable in consideration of the amount of
