SOIL RENOVATION.
How to Accomplish II with Green
Crops md Hogs.


A type of farming for the renovation
of wornout soils that gives fairly quick
results is to grow a succession of pas
ture crops for hogs, keep the hogs on
to half ration of grain. In middle lat
itudes the following system Is adapted
to this type of farming: Grow corn
enough for the pigs on part of the farm,
sowing either cowpeas or crimson clio
yer or rye in the corn yearly to keep
up fertility. The two latter crops fur
nish winter pasture for the pigs. On
the remainder of the farm run the fol-
lowing three year rotation: Sow oats
in early spring. follow by rye sown
early in August, follow this by sor-
ghum the following spring, in Septem-
Der or October sow rye again after the
sorghum, late the next spring SOW Ell
Their sorghum or cowpeas and begin
over again with oats the succeeding
spring. This may be made four year
rotation by inserting artichoies or
sweet or Irish potatoes between the
August sown rye and the sorghum. If
these crops are all pastured down, the
hogs being fed a little grain mean
while, the soil will improve.
An Additional Field of Good Sod.
With such a system, at least on clay
soils, the hogs must not be allowed on
the fields when the soil is wet, as they
will puddle it to such an extent as to
do serious injury. To avoid this diff
Guilty there should be an additional field
of good sod for the hogs to run on in
wet weather. In sections where alfalfa
thrives hogs may be pastured on this
crop In summer Qn winter also in the
far south and fed a little corn. In
winter such crops as rape and kale
may take the place of the alfalfa, and
the grain feed may thus be increased.
Such a system takes nothing from the
land, but care must be used not to
puddle the soil by pasturing in wet
weather. There should be a field Of
good sod in reserve for such periods.

Popular Terror of Tuberculosis Not

The popular fear of consumption, ac-

of infection, principally from human

only occasionally by incubation

contagious diseases, the contact must
be frequent repeated and long contin-

them, and with the comprehension Of
these facts concerning consumption
one must lose his fear of the disease
and may with equanimity return to
reasonable, grownup behavior. 1t is
really deplorable to consider the de-
gree of cruelty and selfishness to which
this phthisiophobia has driven people"
The bacillus of consumption, DR. HUI

globe as man himself. 1t is much per-
vading. The consumptive emits sew

Antimicroblc remedies, taken internal

cleanliness, dry sleeping and living
quarters, good food and drink and
cheerfulness. Consumption, In DR.. HUI
