noo RAysiNo IN rH6 SOUTH.
pArmsss ohovid Take Advantage sf
 Favorable Conditions.

An Iiiinois hos feeder says in Cole uan's Rural World: Two years ago took an extensive trip through the south. going as far as the land would let me TO. II is not necessary for me C say that saw . great many things which interested me. for tfHs was my first trip in that direction. In almost every branch of agriculture. I found something that appealed to my inter est But, being swine specialist, my observations were more centered on things pertaining to that industry. All localities which visited were not highly adapted to hog rasiins. but most places seemed to be ideal.
 My location for hog farm Is not in the heart of the corn belt. l pre- fer a country where land is cheaper and more adapted to forage crops. Forage crops are more cheaply raised than corn and generally bring lar ger net income. Good corn land Is not always the best for such crops as COW peas, sofa beans, sand yetch, winter rye and other such crops which l might mention. Although found but little of the best corn land, l hardly found q place in the south where the above named crops would not flourish.
 As a persons is always more i'm pressed by the faillngs of strangers than of his old acquaintances, l was nF far were availing themselves of their superb natural conditions, but were allowing their hogs to make them selves upon free range with only enough grain at the last to make them go on the market. They would give as their reasons for doing this that the grain or growth made upon free range cost nothing, while raising so much corn is hard on the land. found that oftentimes these freerange hogs would not weigh 200 pounds at n year old, while two years Was often required to attain such weight. In the corn belt hogs are made to weigh az much at seven months when pushed and il is a very easy mater 10 make whole droyes of them to weigh 1t a eight months As to the injury to the land, hogs require a balanced ration for most profitable results, the raising of such rations also giving a balanced ration to the soil by way O! proper crop rotation. to say nothing of the fertilizer saved by keeping the hogs on land intended for cultivation The proper raising of hogs would increase the farmers income and would insure him larger crops by virtue of increased fertility.
 an glad to say that l found a great many farmers who were taking advantage of their favorable condi- tions and are experiencing results by which have derived my favorable conclusions regarding the adaptabil- ity of the country for swine raising
 I was much impressed with the ex- cellent quality and flavor of the pork produced on these well-managed plan tations Yet notwithstanding this fact I am informed by reliapie all thority hat a large proportion of the meats consumed In the south are shipped in from northern markets. have wondered if our farmers here in the corn belt would be able to com pete with their southern neighbors in hog raising if those farmers would take advantage of all their opportu mites and favorable conditions.

It is an old asying that dry May makes d good crop. This. of course, applies to our two principal staples, cotton and corn, and is generally true by reason of the opportunity afforded to control the grass and so give all young plants the clear right of way and to get started, but there are other crops for Ehich a dry May are not so beneficial. Small grain, for instance, for dry May generally means a wet June, and June does not generally get wet until after wheat and oats are stacked. and it does generally get wet before they can be housed

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict Of Au-
thority Was Vital.

In N of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammcn and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at n and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts Of the room there came the
following modification:
"Ye cannot serve God and mammal"

periments carried on by the Uniyer.
sity of Illinois, the corn in two cribs
was weighed every week from Janr,.

condition Of the weather and its effect
was clearly noticed In the shrinkage

10000 pounds of corn. During the
week from January Z to January IA
the weather was clear and mild and
the corn increased in weight 100
pounds. That is, it actually absorbed
that weight of water from the atmos.
phere. The next week was cloudy and
the corn absorbed As pounds more Of
water. The next two weeks were drv

pounds OF water. From July z to July

Fellow Passenger.

A couple recently married had Just
entered the train that was to bear
them to the mountains on their honey
moon, when they became aware Of the
close scrutiny of them by a female pas
senger, who had evidently spotted" a
bride and groom. The young wife, on
opening her handbag, let fall some
rice on the floor, and the woman
smiled. The other passengers regard
ed the couple with interest. Seeing
that the bride was every moment be-
coming more flushed and uncomfort-
able by reason of their scrutiny, the
woman in the goodness of her heart,
leaned across the carriage.

Fighting currant Mnrms

The currant and ~gooseberry worms
ina consume the leaves of the currant
and gooseberry, leaving the bushes
bare of foliage, will weaken the bushes
80 much that the berries will not
ripen; even the bushes being some
times killed by them. The worms NAV
be poisoned by the. use Of hellebore
dissoived in water, the bushes being
sprayed with 1t. Take a Tablespoonful
OF the hellebore, add a quart Of hot
water, and allow 1t to stand a few
hours; then add to it a pailful Of
water, and spray the bushes well with
It, An old broom will answer very
well for spraying. The worms are
soon killed, and the poison win not
last long. In a few days the berries
may be eaten.

BITTER ROT IN APPLES.
Methods Of Combating This Trouble.
some Disease.

The following conclusions as to the
best method of fighting this disease
are given in a recent bulletin of the
United States department of .agricul.
ture:
l. Bitter-rot can be completely con-
trolled by proper applications of Bor-
deaux mixture, 1913 to $50 per cent. OF
sound fruit having been saved by ouch
treatment in these experiments, while
the checks rotted completely.
2. -Four applications, when made
just at the right time, are sufficient to
control the disease satisfactorily, but
in order to be sure of covering the in.
lection periods n or two additional
applications may be necessary.
3. The applications should be made
at intervals Of two weeks, beginning
about six weeks after the trees bloom.
A. 1t is necessary to spray the trees
thoroughly, coating the fruit on all
sides with fine mist-like applications.
5. Other diseases, such as scab,
leaf-spots, and sooty-blotch, may be
controlled in connection with the treat
ment of bitter-rot.
For the treatment of bitter-rot alone
spray the trees thoroughly with Bor-
deaux mixture at intervals Of two
weeks until five applications have been
made, beginning not later than 40 days
after the petals have fallen.
For the combined treatment Of ap-
ple-scab and bitter-rot, spray the trees
with Bordeaux mixture ID just before
they bloom (but after the cluster buds
have opened and exposed the flower
buds); (2) as soon as the petals fall;
90 a week or ten days later; (4)
about 40 to so days after the shedding
OF the petals, and at intervals of two
weeks thereafter until, in all, seven or
eight applications have been made.

Asa Goddard, of the American Auto

Worcester some of his touring adven-
lures.
"One sut.mer morning." he said,
"the approach of a great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull off the narrow coun-
try road. l halted my car, and watch
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
Il had a short talk with the shep-
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
Look here | said, what do you do,
driving sheep like this on a narrow
road, when you meet another flock
coming in the opposite direction?'
well, said the shepherd, We just
drive straight on, both of We, and the

most Sheep"
