BOY DIES FROM
A MAD DOG BITE
Before Dying Boy Bit Father
Who is Being Treated
for Rabies

EATONTON, Ga, August ga half
grown negro boy on the farm OF VIII
Sid Griffin, near Eatonton was bitten by
a dog about the first of July, and died
today a horrible death from hydrophobia.
The dog was supposed to be mad on
account of acting peculiarly at the time
that he bit the boy. but unfortunately,
from carelessness and ignorance of the
danger of the bite, the negro took no
precautions against rabies.
Before dying, the boy, during one of
his paroxysms, bit his father quite Sc
verely. The father will receive the
Pasteur treatment at once. The death
of the bitten boy created quite a good
deal of excitement among the negro popu-
lation of both city and county.

According to these analyses the grass

judge. however, that a digestion expert

this accurately would be to carry out a
digestion experiment, and we are not

Peruvian guano is obtained chiefly
from islands OF the coast Of South
America where there is practically no
rainfall The supply of this material
is not exhausted as some have sup
posed. though probably il will never
be received in this country except in
small quantities in the
future as compared with the demand
for commercial fertilizers to meet the
present needs OF our agriculture. The
Of Peruvian guano varies
materially, depending on the source
from which IL is obtained. the ammonia
running from 1922 TO $40 per cent;
the phosphoric acid from 9.55 to 1920
per cent; and the potash from 2.17 to
4.3O per cent. 1t would be, impossible
to say offhand, therefore, without the
analysis OF the manure you propose to
use just how much of IL would have
to be applied to be equivalent to 400
pounds OF a 1922 fertilizer. In pur-
chasing this material you will buy il
with a guarantee which will show how
much OF the nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash is available; and in most
instances we should think that 100
pounds OF the Peruvian guano would
contain more available plant food con-
stituents than 100 pounds of a 1922
mixture. The chances are that il would
contain considerably more nitrogen and
potash. though there might be some
question as to the amount of available
acid contained.

er to do is to grow as much of his stock
food at home as possible in the form Of

MAST AND PASTURE FOR HOGS.
M. M, West Point, Ca, writes: l have
about so acres of flat creek bottom that
is covered with oaks and have very
large crop of acorns. This piece of land
is on a creek and in the center of a 200.
acre bottom that we can grow corn and
cotton on. 1 am contemplating putting a
hog wire fence around the creek bottom
of 80 acres and raising hogs l would
like to have your opinion in this mat
ter
We see no reason why you should not
be able to develop a profitable hog ranch
along the lines suggested in your letter
1t has been shown that acorns compare
very favorably with corn in chemical
constituents, and that hogs will fatten
on them to very good advantage, but
they make soft, spongy flesh and the
lard is of an oily character and hardens
with difficulty. 1t is thus not practical
to fatten hogs exclusively on acorns, but
they can be maintained on them for as
long as the nuts are available, and then
fed on corn for few weeks before mar
keting. This will improve the quality Of
the flesh, as well as obviate any objec-
tionable flavor which might result from
exclusive feeding on acorns. You will
secure even better results when finish
ing hogs on corn If you will feed some
digester tankage or other protein sub
stance which will harden and firm the
flesh and supply a certain amount Of
mineral matter as we'll, since corn is de-
ficient in this element. We think a good
proportion in which to mix corn and di-
gester tankage is 80 pounds of the former
and 10 pounds of the latter. We have
had very good results feeding hogs in
this way. While the hogs would gather
a considerable part of their living on the
creek bottom, we think 1t would be well
probably for you to grow some cowpeas,
soy beans, artichokes, peanuts or such
other crops as are useful in the pro-
duction of pork. They could be graZed
on these at certain seasons of the year
with the greatest possible advantage.
Hogs can be kept largely on grazing
crops in the winter and summer and a
minimum supply of corn, and in the fall
they would gather the larger part Of
their food in the woods and be finished
off as suggested.
BY looking after the proper sanitation
of the animals and securing only good,
healthy breeding stock, we believe you
can organize a hog ranch which will
prove profitable and satisfactory from
every point of view.

FOOD VALUE OF CERTAIN STOCK
FOODS

J.R. c., wayside, Ga, writes: I wish
to know IL you have had any experience
In testing International Stock Food, and
what is your opinion of its value. Do
you think it is worth the price of $14
per 100 pounds? At present this COM
pany is sending out from Chicago an APP
parently attractive offer, allowing the
prospective purchaser to use 70 pounds
OF the feed. If he is satisfied with the
results on his stock, he pays and gets
81 dishes as a gift. If the purchaser
does not like the preparation, he pays
only the freight and keeps the dishes as
a present. Would like to have any sug-
gestions from you in regard to this Of
fer
The stock food mentioned in your let
ter would be worth $3.50 a ton according
to the figures given. This is an exor-
bitsnt and unreasonable price for the
foodstuffs to commence with. Reliable
analysis Of International Stock Food
shows that il contains wheat offal, red
pepper. gentian, salt, and seed Of va
rious kinds. 1t contains practically
1853 per cent OF protein and $50 per
cent o. fat, or 293.6 pounds OF protein
per ton. With cotton seed meal selling
at $50 ton and containing 700 to TAO
pounds of digestible protein and mucn
larger per cent Of fat than International
vides a much cheaper source of these
two elements for supplementing the food
already raised on the farm than the con-
dimental stock food.
In tests made at the Iowa experiment
station in feeding this food along with
certain other homegrown rations, the
following results were obtained: The
average gain per steer on international
Stock Food was 1877 pounds; on corn,
gluten meal and wheat straw, 2.92
pounds. 1t cost S13.41 to make 100
pounds of gain per steer with Interna-
tional Stock Food and 1894 with corn,
gluten meal and wheat straw. Natural
ly the profit from the cattle fed on
corn, gluten meal and wheat straw was
much greater than on International
Stock Food. So far as the medicinal
qualities of these foods is concerned,
you can see from the composition or the
material cited that they can have ~.
fed in the quantities suggested by those
offering them for sale.
You can make a good formula for
treating stock at a few cents per pound
as follows: Mix together one pound of
ground gentian, IA pound ground gin
ger, Ia pound powdered saltpeter, and
IA pound powdered iron sulphate Give
one teaspoonful in the food once daily
for ten days. This mixture can be made
at a cost Of 90 TO % cents a pound and
possesses more efficient medicinal and
tonic properties than ordinary stock
foods.

these goods are presented as sort of

GROWING STOCK IN SOUTH GEoR-

and wish to develop a grain and stock
farm 1 have always been accustomed
to a clay loan soil, but am favorably
impressed with the soil here. l am told
by some that the soil gets so hard 1t
can not be broken, but could 1t not be
broken to a good depth with a first-class
plow and team and then loosened and
lightened by turning under some heavy
leguminous crop? 1 would like sugges-
lions from you along this line.
There is no reason why a grain and
stock farm should not be developed along
profitable lines in Sumter county. &C.
reals grow well in that section of the
state especially oats. Oats should be
sown IN good season in the fall and the
open furrow method is probably prefer
able, all things considered. The land
of which you speak will respond we'll to
the use of fertilizers. Complete fertilizers
will prove profitable on such crops as corn
and cotton. and where you grow legumes,
as you should do very largely, a 1913
or a 10-4 acid and potash mixture will be
about the right fertilizer material to use.
Any land with which the writer is &C
quainted that is in bad physical condition
can be improved through the use of leg
unninous crons You will find the velvet
bean very valuable in your section of
the state. 1t makes a very vigorous
growth and will produce a considerable
amount of grain, and there is a large
amount of material available to turn I'M
der for the enrichment of the soil, and
for the Improvement of its mechanical
condition. II you will adopt a three
years crop rotation system, growing say
oats in the fall, followed by peas or
beans in the summer to be made into hay
or plowed under, and then back to corn
and cotton, you can build up your land
through the judicious Use OF fertilizers
short time. The writer has seen this
done over and over again, and therefore
is not speaking of anything which has
not been accomplished before, or which
can not easily be accomplished again.
We would pillow the land deeply and thor
oughly. We think a good many steam
plows are beginning to be used In your
section of the state, and we are certain
that where these are used and the land
thoroughly broken and >pulver1zed with
the proper implements that better and
larger crops are being secured, and this
will continue to be the case so long as
ticed.

Easter approaches and aside
it's character as religious festi-
val, it is significant in the femin-
inc mind of spring millinery.
Miss Vanity finds Easter very
much to her liking, for, while the
church goers are thinking of the
religious import she is regaling
herself in her new dress and
bonnet. The great gown of rad
lance and splendor is hooked in
the back. Miss Vanity takes a
deep breath and pulls hard. The
atrocious deed of squeezing nat
ural 26 waist into an unnatural 18
inch gown is accomplished. The
collar is choking. What matters?
The hat that looks like a bee hive,
with great ceremony is securely
anchored to a Psyche knot thatis
transferable. Miss Vanity is in
full uniform. After drawing on
her gloves she sails forth to
church, the happiest woman in
all Christendom, feeling so swol-
len with bonnet glory that she
walked boldly to the very front
pew where all might see the
splendor of her top piece, and she
stood up first of all and sat down
last and walked the longer way
home, and then sat in state on
the front porch. Does she hear
the church service? Not word.
She is wondering if the back
hooks are showing and if the 18
inch waist will produce immedi-
ate death or slow destruction.
But she is beautiful, therefore
she is happy Whether or not
she is comfortable is a different
and less pleasant matter.
| Certainly the new Easter is
strong contrast to the old. We
know that things do move, but
what's the use of their running.
