Hog Raising in the South.

The following article IS IIrm OoIe.
mans Rural World:
Two years ago I took an extensive
trip through the South, going as far
as the land would let ME go. 1t IS
not necessary for me to say that |
saw a great many things which in
terested me, for this was my first trip
in that direction. In almost every
branch of agriculture ! found some
thing that appealed to my interest.
But, being a swine specialist, my 3D.
%servations were more centered on
things pertaining to that industry.
All localities which I visited were
not highly adapted to hog raising.
but most places seemed to be ideal.
My location for a hog farm is not
in the heart of the corn belt. / pre-
fer a country where land = cheaper
and more adapted to forage crops.
Forage crops are more cheaply raised
than corn and generally bring a
larger net income. Good corn land
is not always the best for such crops
as cowpeas, sofa beans, sand vetch,
winter rye and other such crops
which ! might mention. Although !
found but little of the best corn land
/ hardly found a place in the South
where the above named crops would
not flourish.
AS a person is always more i'm
pressed by the failings of strangers
than of his old acquaintance, I was
surprised to see how few of the farm
ers 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. I
found that oftentimes these free
| range hogs would not weigh 200
pounds at a year old, while two years
was often required to obtain such
weight. In the corn belt hogs are
made to weigh as much at seven
months when pushed, and it is very
| easy to make whole droves of them to
weigh it. at eight months. AS to the
injury tc 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 of 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.
l am glad to say that I found a
} great many farmers who were taking
advantage of their favorable condi-
lions and are experiencing results by
which I have derived my favorable
conclusions regarding the adaptable
ity of the country for swine raising.
I was much impressed with the ex-
cellent quality and flavor Of the pork
produced CT these well-managed plan
tations. Yet Notwithstanding this
fact I am informed by a reliable au.
! thority that 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 il
hog raising if those farmers would
take advantage of all their opportuDi
ties and favorable conditions.

Cottonseed Meal For Milc,, Cows

Probably most Of those who feed
their COWS use cottonseed meal, but
possibly some may not know its value.
If so, we give the following from the
Southern Agriculturist:
How much cottonseed meal can be
fec daily to mich COWS without de-
teriorating the butter? According to
DR.. Allen, Of the Office of Experiment
Stations, at Washington, Northern
dairymen incline to the belief that
not to exceed two pounds should be
led daily. cit is the general expert
ence," said DR.. Allen, shat cotton
seed meal produces a hard butter, and
in some instances a small amount of
such feed is given simply to secure
this result. The Mississippi Expert
ment Station has made some expert
ments with large feelings OF cotton
seed meal which are inter esting, and
they show that liberal rations of cot
tOnseed "a be fed with no bad re-
suits. The station herd was fed daily
for a period of two weeks on a ra-
ton composed OF ten pounds Oh cow
pea hay, tV enty pounds Of corn silage.
four pounds Of wheat bran. five
pounds of cottonseed meal, and the
milk during the last two days of this
period was made into butter. In the
two weeks following this six pounds
OF corn and cob meal was substituted
for h ~cottonseed, and the butter
made as before. The butter was sent
to st. Louis, where it was scored az
follows, on a scale of 100:
Butter from ~cottonseed meal, nine
! ty-five and one-half points.
Butter from whole cottonseed,
ninety-six pointc.
Butter from corn and cob meal,

DISCOVERS $500
UNDER OLD BARN

WARREN, Ohio. June S.-Five hun

cred under the floor of an old barn on
the Noble farm, in Gustavus, by Robert
Noble. The young man was i'm the barn
when he noticed what seemed to be
plugged hole in the floor. He dug out
the plug and found the money.
The notes were all OF s. denomina-
ton and were on the Farmers bank Of
Frankfort. KY Each bore the date
OF 1854
How the money came to be hidden
under the barn Is a mystery to the
owner. II had evidently lain there for
over forty years without discovery.
During the war the Noble farm was
one of the stations of the underground
railroad. and it is thought that some
OF the railroads mysterious passengers
may have concealed the treasure there.
