Hogs as Cash Products.

Professor Andrew NJ. Soule, in
Southern Farm Magazine, says:
For the small farmer the hog is the
animal par excellence TO grow, as he
natures in from ten to twelve mouths
n has a ready cash value on the
market. Furthermore, hogs can be
raised cheaper than any other class
of stock, for under the modified sys-
tenn of practice outlined below hogs
may be made to weigh $50 to 200
pounds in ten months on a minimum
ration of grain, say from five to ten
bushels of orn This, compared
with the exclusive corr fattening
practiced generally, would revolu-
tionize the whole business from a
financial standpoint. The South does
not grow on anything like the scale
followed in the West, but it has been
clearly demonstrated that substitutes
of equal value to corr can be utilized
in the South at a minimum of cost, so
that the compensating influences of
nature have placed the Southern
farmer on a plane where he can COM
pete successfully with the Western
hog raiser.
The hog has long been recognized
as a mortgage litter, but his good
qualities are often ignored because CT
the inroads which the dreaded dis
ease, cholera, makes all too frequent
ly in the herd. There is no cure
all" for cholera, but if the hog were
more generall- priced and given that
attention which he merits there
would be less trouble from cholera.
Diseased hogs should be isolated
when they die-destroyed by burn
ing. A large per cent. of the hogs
raised are allowed to range at will,
and should one die the carcass is left
just wnere it fell, and buzzards and
other birds scatter the germs here
ar there. Many of the hogs that
aie contaminate the streams, and ami
mails farther down contract the dis
ease in this way. The man who hopes
to make money out of hogs must look
after the sanitary condition of his
animals, disinfect them properly, see

Living is Higher.
Washington, D. g. The reports

IN a HIGHLANDS.

And forever in the hill-recesses,

Where the old red hills are Differentiated
And the low green meadows
Bright with Sward;

And the night has come, and planets

There, and with delight to take and rem

Only winds and rivers,

How Many Eggs Per Fowl?

HOW Many Eggs Per Fowl?
How many eggs should a fowl lay
to make her profitable? / think on
most Of our farms the hen that lays
100 eggs a year pays for herself. /
believe, however, that we should not
be satisfied with hens that lay less
than 200 eggs a year, for we want to
get reasonable pay for the labor we
put upon them. At the present prices
for eggs 100 eggs will bring at least
81, and they have not cost more than
81. But there is another element
that enters into the cost of eggs, and
lost from various causes 1t is pos
sible to lose so many fowls while they
are growing up hat this will reduce
the profits on the ones that live.
Some men figure out that they are
making a profit of a dollar on their
fowls, but at the end of the year can
find no profit. They cannot under
stand why, if their birds are making
them a profit of a dollar each, they
should not have as many dollars in
profits as they have birds. The fact
is that they had a large number of
fowls that were fed from one month
to six months and then died. In
some focks the cholera appeared, and
in others roup was the devastator; in
others skunks and cats reduced the
size of the flock. 1t is the vanished
of supporting these that reduced
the profits on the eggs to about moth
ing. The longer 1 take care of pouI-
try the more I realize that success
with fowls consists very largely in
keeping them free from fat, lice and
disease.-The Southern Poultryman.
Is 1t Right to Plow Down Cowpeas?
J. L. T., Port Conway, writes:
Would you advise moving cowpeas
or turning them under? If the peas
are cut from an acre of land and
disked Or plowed under, how much
nitrogen would 1 get per acre?
Answer-If your land is thin and
poor, plow the peas under by all
means; if not, you can afford to cut
for hay, or better, Craze down by
hogs, and turn the land ove to be
seeded to corn the next year Where
you cut Off a good, strong growth Of
pea vines, o will probably leave
about thirty to forty pounds of nitro
gen in each acre of land. If you turn
under the whole crop, from seventy
five to 100 pounds, and in some in
stances as high IS $50 pounds of nj
have been added to an acre of
land by a single crop of cowpeas.
Use peas freely and plow them un-
der without stint, and you will be as
tonished at the improvement of the
condition and crop-yield-
ing capacity of your soil. OF course
you must use phosphates and potash
along with the peas, as the crop
heavily or these two elements
Of fertility, which must be supplied in
mineral form as it cannot be drawn
from the air through growing
Iegumes like nitrogen.-Professor
