Mark Twain has found new reason
for opposing prohibition. He writes:
''They have just invented method o"
making brandy out of sawdust! Now.
what chance will prohibition have when
man can take rip saw and go out
and get drunk with fence rail? What
is the good of prohibition if a man is
able to make brandy mashes out of the
shingles on his roof, or if he can get
the deliri4m tremens by drinking the
legs off the kitchen tablet"

Feed for Swine.

The constituents most desirable in feed
for swine depend greatly upon the use
to which the animal is to put them. A
newly born big's body is largely water
and to grow he must have food that will
produce tissue That is why the milk,
primarily designed to furnish proper
nourishment for growing animals, needs
to be, as it is, so rich in nitrogenous
substance. Later, when the time comes
that he is intended for quick fattening,
he should naturally be supplied with
feed containing much fat-making ma
terial, and it is that quality which has
given corn its high place in finishing
hogs for slaughter. 1t is readily seen,
therefore, that different kinds of feed
will be needed to furnish the most bene-
fetal results, according to the stage of
growth of the animal, the energy re-
quired for it's maintenance, and the end
to which the animal is destined; yet it
does not necessarily follow that a ration
should be one-sided or be dominated by
one element to the exclusion of a vari-
ety. Losing sight of this is a mistake
that has been made more frequently in
the use of corn than any other feed !;
not so much, perhaps, because 1t is
rich in carbonaceous matter, as by rea-
son of its convenience and cheapness in
the regions where it hourishes. = Co.

A PROFITABLE HOG.
One Sow Brings $3.50 to Her Owner in
Two Years.

Mr. Jacob Britt killed a Leon county
raised pig a few days ago which netted
4O8 pounds of meat.
But this is not the most interesting
part of the story. The sow, red Jer-
sey, from which the pig came, was pur-.
chased by him less than two years ago.
Since she has brought him "a pigs, all
of which have been raised, except the
last litter, producing in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 worth of meat
Mr.. Britt who is one of Our most in
telligent and practical farmers, is posi-
tive that hog raising could be made one
of the most profitable undertakings in
Leon county. He says that meat can be
produced here at lower cost than any
where in the country This sow and
twenty-six of her progeny were raised
and fattened on the root crops in his
fields.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01
The Small Hog Most in Demand.

The lean pig and the young one, and
plenty of his kind, are what the Ameri-
can public wants. Juicy loins and fresh
hams, chops that are not too fat, and
frying pieces with little to suggest greas-
iness, are demanded; and it is identically
what the producer can produce at most
profit and in the least time.
There are too many people raising
pigs for market today who forget that
the most profitable porker is the one
raised in four to five months and sold
without fattening, at weight of 100 to
$50 pounds s-Farm Journal.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01

real solution of the question would be
for the farmers to grow more cattle,
hogs and sheep, and in this way reap
the benefit of the present high prices of
meats. The farmer who has meat to
sell is not complaining about high prices,

Stock Raising Pays.

The cattle business is paying in
dustry in Volusia county, In the fiat
woods between this high pine ridge and
the coast is found as high cattle range
as, in the State of Florida, and upon it
are seen thousands of fat cattle, all
owned by Volusia people. The cattle,
too, are in remarkably good condition.
The raising of sheep, too, is paying
business, and many focks are seen on
the range.

SWINE NOTES.


be well sucked and have an abundance
of exercise, sunlight and fresh air.
Lack of exercise is the chief cause Of
thumps in little pigs.
Keep the sleeping quarters dry and
clean
By the time the pigs are three or four
weeks old they should be given oppor
tunity to have little side dish of their
own, so that they may learn to eat some
grain.
Cottonseed meal, although one of Our
richest feeds, is never safe for hogs, as
far as we know at present.
Let the hog do his own harvesting
and in this way reduce the cost of pro-
duction
The hog is the savings bank of the
farm; he CLEANS up in the fields and
groves the wastage in harvesting, and
no other animal can fill his place in
services of this character.
Economy in pork production hinges
largely on the use made Of forage crops.
The hog is a natural grazer at all times
Of life to a greater or less extent. Such
crops as sweet potatoes, chufas, cassava,
dwarf Essex rape, sorghum, and Jap
anese cane will be found to be excellent
forage crops tor hogs
1t is just as important for the man
who raises hogs to have well-bred
sire of his particular breed as it is for
the man who is raising cattle or sheep.
If we can not get the best brood sow
and boar, let's get the best we can as
quick as we can.
There is much satisfaction IN knowing
that you can get at least 25 per cent
more gain out Of a bushel of corn or
hundred pounds of velvet beans and
sweet potatoes when fed to hogs than
to cattle and sheep. and these are the
three great meat-produclng animals on
the farm. This is why the hog is en-
titled to the name mortgage litter"

there is little difference between any of

give is if man thinks he likes the

Ever notice that some hogs squeal and
worry much more than others? Quiet,
contented breeds like the Berkshires and
Duroc Jerseys are much the most profit
