THE REV. r. e. TURNIpSEED.

We are confident that it is the
unanimous wish of the people Of
Lancaster, irrespective of de
nominational lines, that the Rev
K. K. Turnipseed be returned to
the pastorate Of the Methonist
church here, by the Annual Con
ference which meets in Spartan.
burg this week. Mr.. Turnip
seed, who came to Lancaster a
year ago, has endeared himself
not only to the members of his
own congregation but to the en-
tire community as we'll, by his
uniform affability, magnetic per
sonality, broad gauge liberality
and last, but by no means least,
by his effective work in aiding to
advance and promote the moral
and religious influences of the
town.
AS a preacher Mr.. Turaipseed
ranks with the best. He is a
man of originality, progressive
ideas, logical reasoner, and is
gifted with the power OF forceful
utterance.
1t would, indeed, be truly un
fortunate, both for the Methodist
church and the community gen.
orally, were the Conference in
its wisdom to see fit to transfer
Mr.. Turnipseed 10 another field
of labor.

Alfalfa as a Supplement
to Corn for Feeding Hogs.
weekly Agricultural letter.

4 tNeekly ArgrlculsuTal LetterJ,
In last weeks letter we showed the
the great value of experimenting corn
with a small amount OF oil meal for
hog feeding. Perhaps the farmer
can with greater profit Iced his hogs
on a ration composed ofthree-iourths
corn meal aud one-fourth alfalfa hay.
The hay can be produced on the farm
and besides being profitable to feed
to the hogs is also profitable on &C
C >unt Of the great advantage it will
be to the land on which it grows.
An experiment conducted at the
Nsbrasks station showed that when
corn alone was fed to hogs, it cost
81 AZ per hundred pounds to pro.
duce pork wl.n corn was worth
30 cents per bushsl, and adding 6
cents per hundred for grinding. In
the came experiment when 80 per
cent OF the feed was corn meal and 20
per cent alfalfa leaves 1t cost only
$40 per hundred pounds. or saw
ing in favor OF mixed feed VI 81 0S
per hundred.
The alfalfa used in this feeding test
was the shatteriugs picked up from
the barn floor and was valued at $40
per ton.
In this same experiment slaugh-
ter test was made to show the influ-
ence OF the mixed feeds as compared
with a straight corn diet on the de-
velopment of the bone and internal
organs of the pigs. In the lots fed
corn and alfalfa she Internal organs
we're found to be better developed
and in a more healthy condition than |
those fed on corn alone. The great |
advantage OF alfalfa as bone pro-
ducing food was shown in this test |
where it took an average pressure of
$40 pounds to break thigh bone
from the pigs which had been fed on |
alfalfa and corn, while 1t took only |
an average pressure of 325 pounds
to break the thigh bone from pig |
that has been fed on corr alone.
The test referred to shows conclu-
sively the great value OF alfalfa for
experimenting corn iorieeding Dung
hogs, also for feeding brood sows.
The best results will be obtained from
the alfalfa II it is harvested by the
time the first blooms appear, and be-
fore it is fed it should be run through
an ensilsgs cutter and then wet and
mixed with the corn meal. For fat
tening pigs from one fifth to one
fourth OF the total ration should be
but for growing pigs or brood
sows a much greater proportion Of
the alfalfa may be profitably used.

Fair Prize.
Fair Prize.

Macon, NO., Oct. % j. L. Terrell,
OF Csllao township, who won the $50
cash prize on corn at the agricultural
fair here, was laughed at four years
ago when he began the practice Of
breeding corn. Mr.. Terrell said 1t
was as necessary to breed corn to get
results as 1t was live stock. Foriour
years be has been breeding his corn
and results are shown by his getting
the prize over a hundred other con.
testants.
Mr.. Terrell began by selecting his
style OF corn. Then he would choose
ears as near his idea Of perfection as
1t was possible for him to get. He
would plant the corn from these
twenty ears in twenty separaterows
In the fall he would gather the corn
from each row, weigh it, and select
his seed for the next season from the
most perfect specimens. Mr.. Terrell
says in four years he has an Ideal
type OF corn that will yield
rom seventy,tve to one hundred
bushels to the acre on good ground
with an average season The
character OF corn selected has a small
cob with large grains. The cobs are
covered to the tip end with well devel.
oped grains. Mr.. Terrell also has
carefully watched the we'll and
smoothly developed grains, and has
used them in his breeding purposes.
He said he was laughed at when he
suggested the plan he has so success
July followed, but many OF his neigh
bors are now initiating him and they
find they get a great deal better re-
suit.
