Protecting the Pastures,

and hence the grass has a chance to

permit the sod to be broken. Both

up the cushion that resists.

Handling Horses.

Any jockey of wide experience rec
ognizes that various horses must be
handled differently. One may need
the whip. while another needs coax
ing. One may be so high-strung that
whip would prevent it from doing
its best. What is true in this regard
in racing life is also true in farm life
for those who handle horses.
II is not uncommon that the horse
with the best mettle is ruined because
his rider or driver does not appreciate
how much spirit the animal has and
will let It work itself off it's feet. 1t is
not always true that horse should be
allowed to go on as long as it is will
ing. Lazy horses will stay in good
health under such management, but
the spirited ones will injure them
selves, ruin their health, or kill them
selves.-Progressive Farmer.

The BREEDING Sows-

During the summer all of our hogs
receive the same kind of feed. But as
soon as we commence to feed new
corn, those intended for breeding DUR
poses are separated from the market
hogs. says a writer in Farm and Fire
side.
In selecting our breeding stock pre-
ference is given to sows from large
filters. for prollficacy is very desira-
Bile. OF course, other points are taken
into consideration, and We desire to
have the sows conform as near as
possible to the standard of the breed
While some short, chubby sows are
prolific, it is better to select those
that have a deep, capacious body.
Care must also be taken to see that
the sows intended for breeding Dur
poses are properly developed in every
particular.
After separating the breeding sows
from the market stock, we feed them
muscle and BODYBUILDING food. This
consists, in our case, of skim-milk
mixed with some ground peas and
oats or rye; sometimes middlings are
fed, but seldom bran. AS all kinds of
stock do better in winter, when given
succulent food, We feed the sows from
time to time raw potatoes, and ruta-
bagas. If We have them. Pumpkins
are also excellent. especially the seeds.

FHTtEN BAltS IRON EIGHT ACRES.

Fifteen bales Of cotton from an
S-acre tract Of land is the record
made by ". X. Herrin, Of Coahoma
county, one OF the foremost planters
in the delta, says the Jackson News.
Cotton planters throughout that
section of the state are manlfesting
much interest in the result Of Mr..
Herrin's experiment, not only be-
cause Of the heavy yield, but be-
cause of the fact that he succeeded
in maturing his crop much earlier
0Itaii IA Iutnnci yUais.
Relative to the experiment, Mr..
Herrin states that he selected an
S-acre plot of well drained land,
broke it deep, and applied about
100 pounds of cotton seed meal. In
July he added 200 pounds per acre.
The result was surprising. The
crop matured rapidly, and by Oct.
10th nine bales Of cotton had been
picked, and since that time he has
harvested six more bales.
1t is believed that during the
next crop year the delta farmers
will not only adopt the cultural
method of planting, as advocated by
the United States department of
agriculture, but they will devote
more attention to drainage and use
fertilizers rather freely, thus hoping
to mature the crop ahead Of the
boil weevil.
