CLAY PRESERVES INTACT
STATE WATERWAY items
Prevails on Commerce Com
mittee Not to RetrenCh in
Georgia Appropriations
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 22.-Sena-
tor Clay yesterday prevailed upon the
commerce committee of the senate to
preserve intact every item in the rivers
and harbors bill pertaining TO Georgia and
vicinity. The senator appeared in re-
Spouse to an invitation from Senator
Frye, the committee chairman.
Senator Clay went over the Georgia
items in detail, discussing each and
dwelling upon the Importance Of the
work IT contemplated.
Beginning with the appropriation for
the Savannah harbor, he argued in turn
in advocacy of food protection for Au-
gusta, the development of the Coosa
river, the Improvement Of the Chatta-
hoochee river. the deepening of the Oc-
mulgee, Altamaha md Oconee rivers, the
continuance of the work at Brunswick
etc.
The projects discussed by Mr.. Clay car
ry appropriations exceeding 100000. and,
in view of the retrenchment agitation, II
was feared that the senate might mate
rally decrease the appropriations
Senator Clay's argument and lnnuence
with the committee, however, sufrlceo and
the items are now secured.
1t is estimated that the senate win
probably increase the total appropriations
In the bill from $41, 900 to $4S.OOOOOO'

farm most of which had been dug out
OF the hillside. He began gradually to
improve the condition of the soil by
blowing a little deeper every time. He
started a three years rotation of crops
blowing under the stubble on the corn
land to add humus. He sowed clover
every year on new ground.
When the Indiana farmer sold at auo-
ton his belongings, when he left the
place, he had less than a dozen animals
all told. The Pennsylvania man went
in debt for q half dozen cows, 80 head
of sheep and dozen brood sows. In
three years he had increased this num-
Der three or four-fold-
He made arrangements with the livery
stables In the country town four miles
distant to keep the manure hauled away
from their back door and for five years
ell his spare time both winter and sum-
uer was devoted to this task
The manure spreader was not known
at that time, but he continued to pile
the manure upon his acres by the fork
full, until his neighbors began to make
fun of him. Some OF them declared that
he would destroy his farm by making
Il "manure-sick;' but the Pennsylvania
man smiled and kept his wagon going
to the livery stables and back to the
farm with its heavy load

state to buy a manure spreader when
they came in style.
An old apple orchard on the place at
one time consisted of 200 trees in good
condition but the Pennsylvania man
found less than 100 alive and many Of
these were so choked with sprouts and
injured by insects that they bore nothing.
He cut down all the dead trees and pa
tiently pruned the live ones, scraping
away the dead bark, withdrawing the
trunks-spraying was too new for him
then-and within five years he had IS
healthy trees which produced big crops
every other year with fair yields be-
tween.
At first he hired two men to help him
and he kept them busy winter and sum-
rner. Later he hired another and yet
another and still there seemed to be
more work to do than ever before.
He plowed out the idle fence rows,
cleaned UP the wood lot, removing every
dead tree. He opened up the water
bitches and put wire fences in place Of
the old rail harbors for insects.
The young farmer closely followed the
methods of his father and with such good
effect that within six years after he had
bought this WORKOUT old farm he had
completely restored its fertility and
transformed 1t into q thrifty, clean, we'll
managed, profitable farm

For the Swine Breeder

Hogs fed on corn meal and tankage require
a great deal Of water, and this adds to the
digestibility OF tho feed and helps 20 make gain.
A hog will eat almost anything when very
hungry, but his appetite should be tempted with
palatable food IL he is to make the greatest
possible profit.
The fact that hogs require d great deal OF
water makes fesd fed as slop more desirable
than dry feed.
Southern farmers have learned that feeding
cottonseed meal in large quantities. Is bad busl-
ness as Il often leads to fatalities Fed in
small quantities, however, with corn and alfalfa,
1t is beneficial.
One good way to feed alfalfa during the win

MIA, 100 pounds OF nitrate OF soda, 100
pounds of IA per cent acid phosphate,
and 16O pounds of muriate of potash. To
bring this up to the one-tone basis you
will have to add $40 pounds Of filler, which
may consist of rich earth or finely rotted
farmyard manure. This mixture will
analyze 2S per cent of nitrogen, S.8
per cent of phosphoric acid and per cent
of potash. 1t should make a good ferttl-
izer for cotton. For corn 1t should carry
some more phosphoric acid, which can be
secured by increasing the amount used
per ton to ], 300 to 1,4OO pounds. For both
corn and cotton we think this fertilizer
would be improved by the addition Of
little nitrogen. We would not use more
nitrate of soda per ton but would use
II as a top dressing at the rate of 100 to
$50 pounds during the growing season. II
your land is very sandy little more
potash is desirable. You can easily raise
the mixture to per cent This may be
accomplished by using 240 pounds of mu-
rate in the place OF $50 pounds Of mu-
riate of potash in the mixture.

A cow giving 1915 pounds, or practically
