Habit. The Jaw and Character.

We talk of thick lips as indicating
sensuality, and of course our reason for
doing so, declares DR.. James j. Walsh,
professor of nervous diseases and phys
biological psychology at Fordham Uni
versity school of medicine, is that we
have come to know by observation and
experience that usually the sensualist
has these features. When there is a
combination of a narrow chin and thick
lips, we very often find not only a ten
dency to sensual indulgence of some
sort or other, or perhaps of several
different kinds, but also, as a rule, a
lack of control that leads to, or may
lead to these excuses. We must not
forget, adds Dr.. Walsh, that sometimes
there may be behind these appearances
a power of will that completely vitiates
the conclusions we might draw from
them. We used to think that these
conditions of physiognomy, especially
the narrow jaw and the full thick lips,
were congenial, due to the nature of
the individual, and that, therefore, it
was simply a matter of making the
best of them. In recent years, how
ever, we have come to realize that,
while there are congenital elements in
some of these cases, most of them rep
resent conditions acquired from the
functioning of the mouth and jaws.
The rolling, full lips occur, we are
reminded by DR.. Walsh, particularly in
mouth-breathers. The process of
breathing through the nose is easy and
natural and it develops that organ SO
as not to leave it narrow and thin and
incompetent to fulfill the function of
drawing in ali the air that is needed.
Mouth breathing, on the other hand,
requires effort and leads to overgrowth
of the lips and to their turning out
ward. With the discovery of Meyer,
the great Danish physician, of the role
that adenoid growths in the pharynx
and occlusioh of the posterlor mares
play in the c~ausation of mouth-breath
ing, or rather in the prevention of ma
sal breathing. a great light was thrown
on the whole question of changes in the
face consequent upon the function Of
breathing. This action of respiration

At the Mississippi station careful
tests have been made to determine the
value of alfalfa pasture without grain
for hogs. Pigs ranging In age from
three to twenty-four months have been
used, and the results Of two years
work show that alfalfa is little more
than a maintenance ration for growing
hogs without grain. Satisfactory gains
have always been secured from alfalfa
pastures by supplementing the pas
ture with from one to two per cent
of the weight of the hogs In corn or
other grain.
Cow peas without grain so far has
given better results than any other
crop for hog pasture. In one test the
crop was grown in thin hill land.
where one acre of COW peas produced
$50 pounds of pork. In another test
on rich valley land one acre Of COW
peas produced 483 pounds of pork
The hogs were put in the field when
the peas were about ripe.

hog raising that should appeal to
every thoughtful farmer. No other
meat-producing animal is capable Of
producing so many young in a year.
In our mild climate, where suitable
pastures can be provided for nearly
every month in the year. the SOW
could farrow twice annually, producing
one litter in early spring which can
easily be made ready for the late
fall or early winter market, and an
other litter in early fall to be made
ready for the spring market The
small amount of capital required to
begin with and the quick returns on
the investment should make hog rails
ing especially attractive to the small
farmer with limited means. The hog
will make a pound Of gain on less food
than most live stock, and will profit
a..y utilize the waste products around
the farm, dairy and kitchen.
At present there is strong demand
at very attractive prices for what is
known as the light market hog, weigh
ing from 1870 to $50 pounds. A hog OF
this weight can easily be produced
with ordinary care at from four to six
months old.

ONLY HOPE is TO DIVERSITY
Exclusive Culture OF Cotton Has EK-

Principle In Soils.
CBy G. H. ALFoRD)

(By g. II. ALfOHD.)
There is one hope and only one
hope for the farmers Of the south ard
that is diversifcation. The too ex-
elusive culture of cotton has exhaust
ed the humus, the life-giving principle
in our soils. the washing Of the clean
cotton fields have gone on to such an
extent that millions Of acres Of the
best land In the south have been
ruined. The too exclusive culture Of
cotton has caused over-production and
thereby forced the price far below an
equitable one so that there has been
but little more than bare living for
the cotton farmers. The too exclusive
culture of cotton has established the
credit system. AS long as our farm
ers raised their supplies at home there
was no necessity for the credit sys-
TEN. The too exclusive culture Of
cotton forces us to buy on credit and
dump all of our cotton on the market
in the fall in order to satisfy our cred
itors and thereby force the price
down. The too exclusive culture Of
cotton makes It necessary to send the
money obtained for cotton north and
west to pay for corn, oats, hay, bacon,
lard, mules, horses, butter, cheese and
other farm products.
realize that many agricultural
writer's and speakers are now busy
shaking the foundation of our pres
ent evil-the one crop system. How
ever, their work is to large extent
destructive, not constructive. They
seldom suggest a practicable method
to take the place of our badly bal
anced, lopsided farming that compels
a farmer to wear out about fifteen
acres at a time. 1t is not enough to
expose the many evils Of the one crop
system. We must show on general
| lines what system to establish as a
substitute, and on general lines, how
the average cotton farmer can do SO.
The simple plan that l shall now
suggest may be followed by every
cotton farmer, however poor he may
be. | am a staunch believer in the
old Dutch proverb. mo grass, nc

third Of the land cultivated in cotton
does not pay for the fertilizer and
labor Of cultivation 1t ought to be
fenced as soon as possible, thoroughly
prepared and set in bermuda or car

bermuda grass is well set on fairly

can be found in North America. Hairy

If possible to have the yards In the

made in one sash, extending from the
roof to near the floor, hinged at the

that there be some glass in each
room, even though muslin be used
This window should always be in the
southeast corner of the room, so that
you get the greatest amount of sun
light early in the morning.
The walls of the house should be
not over one inch thick and covered
with some kind of roofing material to
make them tight. Matched lumber
will shrink and make a chance for
drafts that must be avoided. Roofing
boards, planed on one side, put on
with the planed side inside and COW

economical and satisfactory. We like

seems to be toward larger focks or
