4 successful Kansas breeder has ey-

GUS rations and thinks he has found Il
feed that does the work just a little
more satisfactorily than anything else.
"In feeding hogs" he says, Il let
them run with the cattle. as usual.
But do not believe that hogs do just
the best kind in following cattle and
getting nothing else but corn. They
need some variation from that and
will do better when they get some
other feed besides the corn they get
with the cattle in the feed lot.

be Wintored over in cold frame or
by mulching with straw in sheltered

very early in spring, long before spring

crop may be constant from May or
June until Christmas.

field in November. Burrows are turn

plants are set low in the burrows. so as

Early Maturity In Swine.

This is an exceedingly desirable quail
ity in most animals. but is particular
ly so in hogs. If the spring pigs can
be made to grow rapidly. lay on the
right kind of flesh and fat and be
marketed in the fall, the profit is sure
to be considerable. Most of the growth
and weight are put on while plenty of
pasture is available. This makes it
possible to secure gain at very low
figure. Breeds like Poland hinas, Els
SEX Thin Rind, Small Yorkshire, etc,
seem TO be quite desirable for early
maturity.

ishing. The corn growers near Des

crop bringing $40 an acre, and yet
the son of Il stonemaSon recently came
among them and made as high as 800
an acre out of tomatoes.
In the last seven years this young
man has made $4,000 worth of i'm
provements on a little farm Of only
thirty.two acres. lie uses very little
manure, but great deal Of water.
He makes $500 a year on lettuce
alone. Other men find farming a slow
business. while this young man makes
a fortune out of it with all ease. The
difference is certainly strange.

Gadsden, December A.-(Special.)- annual poultry show of the North Ala bama Poultry association opened its doors this morning with fully 300 birds on dis play. The Rock class was the heaviest, with over 200 entries. Judge Marshall of Atlanta is judging the specimens by the score card method, and the placing of the awards will not take place until tomorrow. This is the second exhibition held by the association, and the entries this year are fully twice in number of what were had year ago.
 Because of the cold weather the various manufacturing plants of the city are run hing short-handed. The scarcity of help is especially noticeable at the new rod, wire and nail mill of the Southern Iron and Steel plant, where the work Is prac- tically out-of-doors, and very disagree able with the thermometer below the freezing point. The prospect is that little will now be accomplished in any line de- manding common labor until after the holidays.
 Congressman J. L. Burnett is home from Washington for the holidays. He will spend day or two in this city and will then proceed to Florida, where his wife and son are spending the winter, and where his son is engaged in celery cul- ture.
 There are 1900 bales of cotton in the warehouse of the Farmers union here that is being held for higher price The men who own this cotton decided that 15 cents would be the minimum price they would accept and while they have had one or two opportunities to secure this figure they have thus far held on to the product in the hope that it might go still higher.
 Tomorrow will end the fall term of the city schools and the holiday vacation will be on. There are now 400 pupils enrolled in the schools and it is expected that this number will be considerably augmented with the beginning of the win ter term.
