The idea Of d woman, in trousers
seems to be the most horrible that the
modern civilized mind can con1ure up.
but there are parts Of the world where
women wear these garments - Z mat
ter OF course, and the heavens have
not yet fallen. They even contriye to
look charming in them, too, % IN one
of the cantons Of Switzerland. where
the bifufcated garment b worn. on

Not even at tho altar are the trousers
discarded. The; bride wears white
ones, with a white bodice and white
flowers in her hair, and many q bride

I'm spite Of their trousers, which are ne
cessitated by the work they do IN the
fields, these women do not ride asnide,
but use sidesaddle just like the
woman whoeis trammeled by skirts. !,
The trousers Of Switzerland are
loose, baggy affairs, sometimes almost
as cumbersome as skirts, but the peas
ant maids of the Austrian Tyroi wear
short, close fitting small clothes, which
cannot impede their movements Ia any
way and which are not particularly
becoming. The socks do not meet the
trousers and the knee IL left bare, IKE

costume has some feminine touches.
and over the trousers is short ORA

Tho Demand For Horses.

While the horse markets are not
very active even with moderate re-
ceipts, still good horses are selling
pretty well, no matter to what class
they belong. Increased business &C
tivity win undoubtedly bring about a
better horse market. The financial
and industrial depression has inter-
fered with the trade for both busi-
ness and pleasure horses. Fewer
business horses were required; and
as the ones on hand were too ex-
pensive to keep in idleness good
many of them were thrown to market.
thus cutting out part of the de-
mand for fresh horses. Many busi-
ness men in their efforts to econo-
mize have either disposed of their
pleasure horses or refrained from In
vesting in them The automobile has
undoubtedly displaced a good many
horses of both classes, but as the
public learns the cost of keeping au-
tomobiles, their rapid depreciation in
value and their often infirmities there
is a reaction in favor of the horse
among people of moderate means.
who are learning that it is not best
to go too fast or too far in spending
money or in getting about. We have
known several cases Of such reaction
even when the preference was for
the motor. When business. improves
the horse market will improve natur-
ally. And as it is it looks pretty
good compared with only few years

Farmers Educational
Co-OperativeU Union
OF America
About Swine Production.


1t is sometimes claimed that pork
production cannot be made a profit
able business in the South since corn
has advanced in prices. 1t is often
said that the farmer can buy his pork
cheaper than he can make 1t. But
II must be remembered that pork has
advanced in price as well as corn,
and the cheapest side meat now costs
from 10 cents to 12.5 cents per pound,
and that hams and shoulders cost
from Is to 20 cents per popnd. Corn
has advanced in price more rapidly
than has pork, but the South is in
position to change her feeding meth
DDS when corn as sole feed gets
out of reach. The Southern hog
prices are higher than at either the
st. Louis or Chicago markets. AT
the present writing prices all over
the South are substantially higher
than they are in Chicago. All condi-
tions here are encouraging for hog
production. We can grow the corn,
we have the best markets as far as
We can grow many kinds of pasture
crops, the crops which cheaper pork
production more than any othre feed.
It is generally considered that there
is no other feed equal to corn for
pork production. This Is true, pro-
vided the corn is used judiciously.
II 1t be fed alone for any length OF
time, there are few feeds which are
poorer than corn, but if fed in COM
| bination with other feeds its use Is
to be highly commended, and it can
! be used to great economical advant-
| age, too, even though it sells on the
market for 20 cents per bushel.
The hog is not adapted to living
on corn alone, and when we require
| 1t of him we are forcing him to do
a thing which is not consistent with
his nature. Man likes mixture OF
feeds or a change in diet, so do the
lower animals. The hog in its wild
state is not compelled to live upon
one feed alone. When wild and free
to make its own choice he is omniv
erous, feeding upon roots, nuts, fish
grass, fruit, snakes, and in fact but
few feeds can be mentioned that he
will not eat If he be given the oppor
tunity. Our domesticated hogs have
inherited the tendency to select Their
foods from a variety of substances
and when we enclose them in a pei
and feed but one feed we can fee
assured that we are not allowing
them to reach their highest possibili
ties.
Probably those who claim that pori
cannot be produced in the South a
a profit mean that it cannot be pro
duced on corn alone at profit. If so
that is entirely correct. Experiment
al data show that pork can not b
profitably raised and finished upoi
corn alone when corn sells for a
cents per bushel.

The experiment station at Raleigh
has fo- The past six months been con-
Quoting some extensive experiments
in feeding cotton seed meal to mules
and horses. Throughout the state the
ration commonly fed to work stock
is corn. This is very undesirable
ration from the standpoint of its heat
ing and fattening qualities and its
excessive cost A small amount of
cotton seed meal added to the corn
ration would certainly improve its
efficiency according to the protein
content of cotton seed meal. One
and a half pounds of cotton seed meal
added to the ration for the day will
as a general thing be eaten quite
freely, although in some cases horses
and mules have refused to take 1t in
this amount. Others almost entirely
refuse to eat it under any circum-
stances. These cases, however, are
quite rare. Some animals are quite
greedy for the meal, eating it in its
pure form. This has been observed
In the work carried on at this station.
1t is the intention to carry on this
work until practical rations are work
ed out. The endeavor now is to de-
termine In what amounts cotton seed
meal can be most satisfactorily fed
and the feeds with which it will most
satisfactorily combine. Later we
hope to give some definite results
as to the feeding of cotton seed meal
regarding It's special advantages IN
mule and horse rations, both from
the standpoint of efficiency and finan
cial saving to the farmer.-R. S
