Pig BROUGHT UP ON
BOTTLE WEIGHED 488

DAwSON.~ Ga, Nov. 1&-During the re-
cent cold snap a little pig just year old
was killed on the farm of Hon. D. r.
Stewart and balanced the scales at 4SS
pounds
The monster piglet had history THAI
no other pig could. perhaps, ever boast
of. 1t reached its Jumbo proportions
in spite of the fact that It was taken in
its infancy, in November, 1910, by Mrs.
Stewart and carefully looked after and
nourished from a bottle until it was large
enough to eat solid food
The pig thrived and grew rapidly, and
steadily became larger and larger unIil
at the end of u months it had attained
such size that 1t was an act of mercy TO
end its existence.

should not be broken as deeply as when
turned in the fall for spring seeding
Breaking the soil and s>ulverizIng it
put 1t in better condition to permit of
the rapid development of the young
plants, which of course Is a very inn
portant matter. 1t is always best to
SOW oats after the land has been cross
disked by means of the open furrow,
but the thorough preparation OF the
soil and greater care in fertilizlng and
seeding will always repay the owner.
The Appler is a good oat to SOW, and
you should apply on this land about a
1874 for oats. You Will no doubt think
this is a large percentage of nitrogen
to use, but we have been disposed to
use too little nitrogen on most of our
crops because of its expense. In the
spring a top dressing of 100 pounds
OF nitrate Of soda should be made.
-
Where wheat is sown prepare the
land much as for oats. A good SEED
bed is important for this crop though
it is somewhat harder than oats ana
not so subject to destruction by winter
freezing. For this crop use not less
than an S-3-3 or an 8-3-4. Nitrate of
soda should also be used as a top
dressing on this crop.
PREPARING LAND FOR ALFALFA
l. c. A, Washington. Ca, writes;
have some alfalfa which / have replant-,
ed for two years. and now 1t is again
choked out by nut grass and Bermuda.
Do you think could get rid of theNgrass
If l plowed up the lot and sowed it. In
clover this winter and In peas next sum-
mer? What kind of clover would you

ter? wish the crop for my young chick
ems to Craze on.
One of the greatest difficulties expert
enced in establishing alfalfa is due to its
being choked out by crab grass. OF
course, nut and Bermuda grass are both
great enemies to this plant, and if your
lot is infested seriously with these grass
es, you will have great difficulty in ever
securing a stand of alfalfa unless you
get rid of them. Under the circumstan-
ces it appears to us best for you to pillow
this lot very Thoroughly to a depth of
about eight inches; cultivate and enrich
with yard manure and fertilizer, using
say 500 pounds containing per cent of
phosphorus, per cent of nitrogen and {
per cent of potash. Work this we'll into
the soil and then SOW. crimson clover at
the rate of Is pounds per acre and cro4S
drill or seed it. Distribute the clover by
means of a drill if possible, as you can
secure more uniform stand and cover
it into the soil better than where you
broadcast it. If you broadcast cover
with brush harrow. The sooner yo"
seed the clover the better. White clol .
does not grow in the winter. Crimsoi.
clover is one of the best plants you can
grow for a winter cover crop. You
would have obtained much grazing from
1t for your chickens, If you had seeded
ii soon after the first of September. The
clover is a rapid grower and develops
early In the spring so the ground may
devoted to other crops. 1t develops plen'
ty of leaves and will MAKE a fine relis
for chickens, and is the best crop for
you to plast under the circumstances.

We do not think. however. from the
two years work which has been carried
on up to this time that we are justified
in drawing conclusions relative to the
efficiency of these materials. More
over, our soils here and some with
which we have done a little work in
south Georgia seem to be lime hungry,
and it may be that the lime in the
phosphate rock is the element which
is exerting a greater relative influence
on the yield than the phosphorus in the
floats or acid phosphate. We will con-
tinue our experiments and hope to be
able to establish test plats in a number
of soil adeas throughout the year, and
as we accumulate data will be glad to
furnish you with further information
on this subject. We are disposed to
think at present that floats Will be
found useful If applied at the rate of
1000 pc lnds per acre on soils which
contain an abundance of vegetable mat

Queen Objects to Smoking.

Women are not likely to do much
smoking in the royal presence while
Mary is queen Of England. Court la
dies have not forgotten an incident OF
a few years ago when she showed her
dislike for the habit in IN original and
effective manner.
The then Princess Of Wales was the
guest Of an American hostess in Lon.
don who after dinner sought and OBJ
tanned the royal assent to some Of the
women smoking cigarettes. the prin-
cess dislike not then being generally
known. But during the consumption
OF the cigarettes the future queen re-
manned standing. and. OF course. every
other woman in the room had to do
likewise.
The hostess had the shrewdness to
guess why the royal guest did not sit
down, and in a few minutes she man
aged to convey her wish to the others
present that they should dispose OF
their cigarettes. The princess then
seated herself, and she has never since
had reason to express herSadislike OF
women smoking In her presence.

Wherever there happens to be jap
anese the news that her imperial high
ness. the Crown Princess saba. was
suffering from n serious Illness was
received with sincere concern For the
Crown Princess saba is the wife OF
one future emperor of Japan and the
mother of another. She is a most in
telligent and progressive woman, and
her death would be n real loss to Ja-

an ideal mother to little Prince Hiro-
hito. who after his father is heir to
Che throne of the Land of Chrysanthe-
NUNS. Probably no royal household
in Europe is so little known to the
Americans as that of Japan. The EN-
press Haruko had not the advantages
of a modern European education like
Princess saba. who was q student in

sued her education with private Eng

in other parts of the world as we'll as
in Japan. Like the empress, she is
interested in education and in philan-
thropy. Her personal influence and her
/ purse are often enlisted in furthering
worthy charitable objects. and she is
not so much of q recluse as the ON
press. The crown prince is. II any
thing, more progressive than his &C

their three sons are being educated
along European lines so that it would
be a miracle were the little heir to
the throne not a progressive. The en-
peror and empress are devoted to these
little ones and take the greatest pride
in their abilities. Japan is the para
disc of children. and the imperial
grandchildren are even more fortunate
in the matter of toys and pocket mon

and but for the fact that his beloved
