/ have five shotes, and I want to SOW peas and
sorghum cane to keep them for this summer. I
have a little patch of clover. Would you SOW
clover in the rest or not? Would you SOW the
peas and cane separate, or not? l would be glad
to get some information on keeping them.

Answer by DR.. TAFT Butler, State Veterinarian)
sown with either sorghum or peas will add much
to the amount of forage produced. It would
probably do best with the peas, but if the hogs
are to gather the food themselves they will de-
stroy what little clover there is when they Craze
the peas.
Peas and sorghum do very well together when
hay or grazing is desired, but for hogs it is well
to allow the peas to form considerable seed before
putting the hogs on them, and they will do this
better sown alone.

FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT OF LIVE STOCK.
n.-Gene,al Factors in Feeding.

0H~ SS0AA
of animals from beginning to the end or finish
ing period. I fear many of us are not careful
enough with the pregnant animal. Here is the
time that the dam must not only be literally fed
but suitably fed. This means the foetus will be
sufficiently nourished, which means a great gain
during its whole life; and also that the mother
will have a residium of reserve vigor in the sys-
tenn to withstand the severe drain of the sucking
period.
By this we do not mean that she shall be over
fat; we want just good vigorous thrift.
At time of parturition the amount of feed
must be lessened, since indiscreet feeding just af-
ter the birth of the offspring is positively danger
Gus.
Perhaps more mothers are injured or die from
this cause than any other. After a few days
the diet should be generous for the advantage
of both dam and young.
THE GROWING PERIOD.
During the whole period of growth just prior
to the finishing period quick growth without I'M
due fairness should be the aim. 1t is a mistake
to think that beef stock or swine should be fat to
the full limit, during the growing period. Harm
full results really follow. Thrift and vigor and
steady growth are the surest steps for profta-
BILE and successful feeding. AS the finishing
period approaches, the quantity of feed should be
reduced and the grain part of the ration in
creased with a corresponding decrease of rough
age materials.
If the appetite becomes ~clogged, with animals
either for the block or in the dairy, food should
at once be withheld. The same principle applies
to animals as ourselves. If we have an attack of
Indigestion or feel badly for some reason, the
best thing we can do is to miss a meal. 1t means
more than medicine. So with our live stock.
They will ordinarily eat, even if sick, and this
will make things worse. Don't be afraid to cut
off the feed entirely if an animal of any kind
loses appetite.
Sometimes this trouble becomes permanent.
Well, it doesn't pay to fool with an animal when
this is the case. She will be a money loser to
you, and you better dispose of her at once, for
such an animal can ordinarily be fed no longer
with profit.
ABOUT FEEDING
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-04-19
ABOUT FEEDING

Animals should not be allowed to drink freely
Immediately after a full feed. The gastric juice
of the stomach is too much diluted and the food
is often carried to the intestines. This is no
ticed especially with horses. 1t is a pretty good
rule with horses to give but little water after a
full meal. / sometimes think that with men and
women there is too much drinking done at the
table. Surely a glass or two of water right before
eating and a couple of cups of coffee is too much
of a good thing. Don't you? And yet we all do
it and wonder why we don't feel good. A cup of
coffee should be sufficient for the most of us, and
then we should remember that it is not to be used
to wash our food down. I think any one who
is troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia can
readily overcome the trouble by eating less, by
chewing thoroughly all foods of a carbonaceous
or starchy nature like bread or potatoes, and by
sleeping in rooms with the windows open.

HOW SHIP SUBSIDY
is SOUGHT AND FOUGHT

Washington, Jan. 20,-In his report
TO the House, filed to-day in favor of
the bill authorizing a commission to
consider the question of ship subsidy
Representative Grosvenor, chairman
of the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries, says:
I'VE tiatter ourselves justly that we
are leading nation in all that makes
a nation great, and yet we are a sub
servient nation and a helpless nation
in one of the great factors of ma
tional wealth and independence. Other
nations carry our products to the mar
kets of the world"
Gen. Grosvenor states that of almost
81, 900, 100000 worth of exports to Eu-
rope during the fiscal year 1902, but
ia per cent. was carried in American
vessels, the balance being carried in
ships of foreign countries. OF nearly
$500, 900, 900 of imports during that year
American ships carried but $4,000, 90
worth.
For the carrying of that trade, says
Gen. Grosvenor, we paid 100000 900.
which amount, he maintains, should
have gone into the pockets of Ameri-
cans.

A 100000 LOSS FOR
THE STEEL CORPORATION.

Shelby. o., Jan. 20.-The United
States Steel Corporation sustained an
indefinite loss by fire late tonight at
the plant of the Shelby Steel Tube
Company.
The fire started in one of the smaller
stock rooms from n defective electric
wire. and spread to the larger stock
rooms, completely destroying all of
them. The product of the entire plant
for the past six months was destroy
ed within an hour. consisting of $780,
900 tons, making in all 25,O00,000 feet
of finished product and valued at 3d.
000, 900.
Battered and twisted, the finished
product lies in a heap, and is almost
q total loss. Tube works officials state
that portion can be worked over, but
1t will require the entire capacity of
the plant, and will delay the mills
on other orders.
The stock consisted mostly OF loco
motive and boiler flues, and other gov
eminent work of various kinds. The
fire was confined to stock buildings
which were built at an expense OF
100000. The tubing manufactured by
the Shelby plant was used extensively
by the government for boiler hues in

GERMANY WILL NOT
HAVE A STEEL TRUST.

Berlin, Jan. 20.-The conferences
held at Cologne this week is an at
tempt to organize all the great Ger
man steel companies into a syndicate
have resulted in a failure. The con-
ferences succeeded in splitting the
steel industry into two groups, the
first of which includes the manufac-
turers of half rolled goods, girders
and other simple structural forms,
while the second is composed OF the
manufacturers of steel rails and other
railway material.
The second group embraces the six
teen great companies which took the
lead in trying to effect general or
ganization. These companies have now
decided to hold together and to begin
price war upon the companies who
refused to accept the terms offered for
the general steel syndicate.

The minority members of the COM
mittee have designated Representative
Lucking of Michigan to present their
views on the subject. These will con-
tain the following reasons why the bill
should not pass:
1--WE are utterly opposed to shin
bounties and have reason to believe
that the adoption of such a policy is
the real aim of the bill.
1--WE are in favor of the rehabilita
ton of our merchant marine by effec-
tive measures to be enacted at the pres
ent session of Congress.
I'VE favor immediate action by this
committee in the way of inYestiga-
ton and hearings; and then the bring
ing in by this committee of d bill put
ting in force substantially the system
OF discriminating tonnage and import
duties, which was enacted by the ear
ly congresses of the United States. and
which resulted in the immediate and
permanent upbuilding of our merchant
marine.
THE policy of discriminating duties
was inaugurated by Jefferson and Mad
lson and Monroe, and it received the
Endorsement of the Republican National
Convention of 1885, of William McKin-
ley and of William P. Frye, now pres
ldent of the Senate, and may. there
fore, be safely denominated non-parti-
san and strictly American"

WHITE WOMAN SUED
HER NEGRO HUSBAND.

Montgomery, Ala. Jan. 2O.--A decis-

Court to-day in the case of Nancy
Locklayer against ]. H. Locklayer. 1t
is case in which a white woman sues
for dover rights in the estate of ne
gro, to whom she alleges she was mar
ried. Her suit is based on the asser-
ton that she did not know the man
was a negro, even after she had lived
with him for fifteen years.
The decision of the lower court that
she had such knowledge at the time
the ceremony was performed was sus-
tanned; that the marriage was null and
void, and that the woman, therefore,
was not entitled to any of the proceeds
from the estate.

EXPERTS ON BLOOD
IN WARM DISPUTES.
Members of the BechteI Family Are
to BE Examined.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 20.-The battle
of the experts on blood in the Bechtel
trial came to an end this evening. and
tomorrow every member of the Bech
tel family will be placed on the wit
ness stand in an endeavor to prove
that the aged mother is not guilty OF
being an accessory after the fact in
the killing of her hayward daughter,
Mabel The defense called six experts
to-day. and each declared that the bio
logical or Bordet test, the new meth
cd for determining the difference be-
tween human and animal blood, was
not a standard one, and that it was
unreliable.
The experts testified that only one
of the many articles taken from the
Bechtel home contained human blood,
and that one was the undervest worn
by the girl, when she was found dead.
Before the defense opened it's case
to-day the court was asked to in
struct the jury to render verdict of
not guilty, because insufficient evil
dence had been presented to hold Mrs.
Bechtel, but the court decided that the
trial should proceed, Judge TreXter
adding that he did not wish at this
time to pass upon the merits of the
evidence presented.
In discussing this motion, District
Attorney Lichtenwalner said;
The theory of the commonwealth is
that Thomas Bechtel was the princi-
pal felon. We believe that he COM
mitted the crime and after its commits
SION was shielded by Mrs. Catherine
Bechtel. In support of this theory
the strongest evidence is the suicide
of Thomas Bechtel in a prison cell, and
the testimony of DR.. Lear and many
other witnesses, who have testified"
In opening, Attorney Schaadt said
I'VE will prove to you that the
stains which two inexperienced doc
tors declare to be human blood stains,
We're nothing more than stains pro-
duced by tobacco. We will show to you
pillow cases. pieces of linen and other
fabrics, upon which within a day or
two, tobacco stains have been made,
and we will ask you to compare them
with the stains shown upon the bolster
case by the commonwealth.
I'VE will further prove to you that
the lather's Ratchet, which the state
produced as the weapon with which
Mabel Bechtel was killed, had been
broken in a mill last summer, and
more than that, we will prove to YOU
beyond all doubt that Mabel Bechtel
was seen on Monday, the day before
her DEATH"
Attorney Schaadt said it also would
be shown that no member of the Bech-
tel family had hand in the killing Of
Mabel, and that she was murdered
away from home.
