Home Canning.

During the last few years. since the
boil Weevil came to spur us on, Louisiana
farmers have made great progress in pro-
ducing at home many food products that
they formerly bought from other states.
There is one phase of this good work that
ought to be more advanced than it is, and
that is the home canning of vegetables
and fruits Through the use of the home
Gamer, which may be bought at all sorts
of prices from 81 up or which can be made
at home. it is possible for the farm home
to have an abundance Of vegetables and
fruits the year round.
There are many advantages in home
canning. It saves the outlay annually
made on canned goods; it insures good
food supply when fresh vegetables are
scarce: it brings in some revenue when
the canned products are put on the mar
ket; it gives employment at time when
labor is not pressing on the farm, and it
insures clean and wholesome variety Of
food products.
Tin cans are preferable to glass jars for
canning purposes. Their cost, including
labels, is about cents. The operation is
simple, and the labor is light. Farmers
desiring further information relative to
canning, or literature on the subject. or
the names of dealers in canning outfits.
may address the Department Of Agricul-
tural Extension, Louisiana State Uniyer-
sity

Advantages Of Louisiana for Raising
of Hogs.

This state offers many advantages 70
the hog breeder and the man engaged in
the raising Of hogs for the market. Apart
from hog cholera, no really serious disease
affects hogs in this state, and there is
probably less hog cholera in Louisiana
than in many other states where hog
raising is one Of the chief industries. Be-
sides, the state has established, through
the Live Stock Sanitary Board.ssa hog
cholera serum plant. which is now pro-
ducing this important preventative for
free distribution.
But the chief advantage offered by
Louisiana to the hog raiser is found in the
variety and abundance of forage and pas
ture crops which can be grown here the
year round In fact, the hog raiser who
has foresight need never be without the
best sort of green crop on which to pas
ture his hogs, and, it should be borne in
mind that the cheapest hog production is
obtained BY pasturing the hogs to such
crops. Indeed, it may well be doubted
whether pork can be proftably produced
without the use of pasture crops.
AS result of experiments made at the
stations. the following pasture rotation is
recommended for hogs: Oats in Decem-
ber and january; crimson clover on up
lands and sandy soils, and red clover on
alluyial lands and bottoms for February
and March; Bermuda grass and white
clover for April and May; early corn for
June; corn and peas from July to Sep
tember Is; peanuts to November I; and
then sweet potatoes. Besides these crops,
many others may be used, such as other
grains, bur and alsike clovers. velvet
beans, soy beans, Jerusalem artichokes,
chufas. stock beets, turnips, etc.
It should be needless to add that con-
centrated feeds should be used along with
the pasture crops, and that 5uch concen-
trates should be adapted to the needs Of
the animal and should form a balanced
ration in connection with the crop pas
/ tured at the time.
A recently published bulletin deals with
the breeds of hogs and pasture crops
adapted to hog raising. This bulletin may
be obtained free by applying to Prof. W.
