Arranging n Hog Pasture.

W. L. H., Hero, Miss, writes: Il have
several acres of land that wish to put
into pig pasture. 1t is all good land,
varying from sandy basis to little
rolling My idea has been to SOW
early this fall in Turf oats or rye,
something that would answer for win
ter grazing. Early in the spring break
we'll and SOW or sod to Bermuda grass.
Would 1 obtain good results from this
plan? If not, please advise me as to
what you think would be the most eff
fective."
Oats will be preferable for the fall
seeding of your land intended as 4
winter and spring pasture for your
hogs. While rye make vigorous
growth it becomes hard and woody
very much sooner than the oats, and
the hogs will not eat it as closely nor
with as much relish as they do the
latter. In experiments conducted at
this station we have found that when
oats are allowed to practically mature
and then grazed by hogs that they
make satisfactory gains on the grain
while consuming considerable
amount of the straw. Then as the ex-
ercise which they obtain keeps them
healthy, while the land is enriched by
the droppinss Of the animals, it is a
very desirable method Of handling the
animals in the winter and early spring.
BY running temporary fence across
your field in March or April, one-half
of the oats could be pastured down
when young and the other half al
lowed to mature and pastured off when
we'll headed out if desirable. Other
wise you could break up the land as
soon as possible in the spring and seed
to Bermuda grass. You should have
no trouble in obtaining sets of the
grass in your immediate vicinity, as
it is quite extensively cultivated in
Mississippi. Plant in rows one foot to
eighteen inches apart and one foot
apart in tie drills. While you might
plant the grass a. much greater dis
tance, this will il sure the ground be-
ing covered quickly. and in favorable
season the grass should be ready for
grazing some time between July and
September. Bermuda sod is an excel
lent thing for hogs TO Craze on, and as
the sod is dense and tough. they do
not injure it as much as in the case OF
many otter plants.-Professor y. NJ.

 What of the negro question, Sena- tor?"
 My candid opinion is that too much is made of this, and that 1t would be far better to cease discussing it. The negro is getting along very well. and the problem is one that will settle it. self Fairminded Northern men recognize the difficulties that beset the people of the South in their dealings with the racial question. and are dis posed to let us solve 1t for ourselves"
 What of the threatened loss of Southern representation in CongressT'
 What is the use of taking up a mat ter of that sort at this time? It is questionable whether any such action will ever be taken by Congress The, Washington Post has, l think, taken the correct position, that the fifteenth amendment to tine Constitution in ef- feet repealed the fourteenth amend ment. At any rate. if the worst should happen as between the loss of rep resentation and the unlimited exercise of the franchise by the negro, the South would prefer a reduction of itn strength in Congress and in the elec- toral college"

 Well, in the first place, you feel kind of salubrious, as the fellow said. and again you kind of take the big head and feel as if you were as good as a Creek negro. and again you find all at once that you are cultivating g. fine taste for pie. Then you hitch up to your unpainted buggy. minus top. and you rattle off to your claim of 160 acres of land, and when you arrive there you say within yourself. This is my dirt, to own and to hold to myself. my heirs and assigns forever. or until death or large bundle of greenbacks
 do us part Then you feel salubrious some more, and the next feel that comes upon you Is 10 the effect that you are eligible to any office in the United States if there was not an if in the way. But 1t is a great satisfac- ton to know that you have bulged the population of the United States one more, anyway, whether you fill the Presidents chair or not. Then you think how would an Indian look in the house or Senate. One thing Is sure. he will look no worse than Curtis of Kansas, or Logan in his time. We re- ceived the papers that takes them of of us the same day that Roosevelt and Parker had the buck ague, election day, and could have voted for them
 had we a voting precinct handy. There was vote lost that might have been placed where 1t might have done the most good to the greatest number, but we said within ourself, Indian like 'heeddites chee,' which is to say. keep an eye on us next time.' Now, there
 are other advantages added to the man with the restrictions removed One is
 he has something to sell now where
 he did not before! not land. but a
 solid vote that will bring him a few dollars as long as he lives without
 much struggle, his vote being as val uable as either that of Roosevelt or
 Parker. and again one will naturally
 draw attention from the velvet hand officeseeker, who will be sure to recog-
 nize you just before the election. He Is liable to be very sociable, asking
 about the health of your good wife and
 smart children. and then take you around the corner and set 'em up These little fatter favors are good for the Americans health. With all these
 things in sight, you feel like saying as Bill Nye did. that before his death he could not be elected Senator. even
 though he fitted the place. but the next day after his death he wished some
 friend to inscribe on his headstone, He got there. So 1t is with one having the chains taken from his shins. He got there with the restrictions re- moved would look well, if he was sc fortunate as to have a slab of marble placed over his head. Take 1t all in all as far as we have gone, 1t looks as
 if it might be a good thing to take the
 restrictions off of every mans land"
