THE HOS WAS money CROP

The South has never grown hogs
extensively as a money crop. because
&c has never been a producer of con-
Gentrated live stock feeds. Until re-
eenfly we have not generally devoted
mach attention I the growing OF
corn. Without corn we have con-
Ganded hog growing was improbable.
The average Southern farmer has la
Aored under the impression, expressed
by q friend OF ours recently, that
growing hogs without corn is like
religion without charity, o have

We have all but one of the four
essentials for large corn production,
md car acquire that. These four es-
sentials II Moisture, heat long
growing season, and a fertile soil
we'll supplied with humus, That we
are in the Corn Belt" has been album
dainty Noven during the last few
years by the large yields made by
our Gorn-Club boys and good far
mers all over the South ON single
or prize acres,
But if the South is to grow hogs
AL a money crop, we must do it On
ether feeds han corn. This means
the development of a different sys-
tenn Of hog raising from that which
has developed the American type of
fat hog. 1t is a we'll known fact
that hog raising is made profitable
without corn. Our Canadian friends
have demonstrated that. A different
type of hog. the bacon or lean meat
type, has resulted from the different
class of feeds used.
However, we must study the hog
growing proposition from our own
conditions. rather than follow the
system of any other section. We
hear much of the necessity of produc-
ing our own meat supply. The re-
ward held out to US is the saving
OF large sums now paid out for pork
products by our farmers. This is a
good reason for producing hogs,
but we do not regard it as indicat-
ing the chief or true purpose of the
hogs on our Southern farms. We!
wish and believe that the Southern
farmer will soon come to look upon
the hog as n of the money crops
of the farm. The hogs which go to
the largest markets of this country,

farmers, in a load lots, or less, and
we see no eason why every South
ern farmer should not also find it
profitable to produce hogs as one Of
the sale crops of the farm.
We have heard it stated that the
shipment of hogs by the Southern
farmer was ,impracticable because of
the absence of packing-houses sum-
GENTLY near at hand and the ex-
cessive freight rates which he must
pay. These are serious obstacles to the
development of~the industry, and

March has given us more cold than
February, and many things that
would usually be in the ground in
March have still to be planted
While in the far South the corn has
doubtless been planted, and 1 usually
here plant some garden corn in
March, I have so far planted none.
But l do not think the earliest
planting is always the best. 1 have
found that ever in southeast Mary
land we can get a better crop by,
letting a crimson clover crop grow
TO complete maturity before turning
Il under. Then, too, an early variety
of corn is seldom the best for the
South. In fact, in any section l be-
IeYe tkat the, corn that takes the
whole warm season to mature will
generally make the heaviest crop.
What is needed is a thorough prep
aratiOn of the soil before planting.

man who uses fertilizer of a COM
pfete mixture heavily on corn will
Increase the crop, doubtless: but if
he will nlant an acre Of the same

find that al the extra corn has cost
him a fair market price.

neither is likely to be removed until
more hogs are grown When hogs
are grown in larger numbers lower
freight rates can and will be demand
ed by the Southern farmer and will
be granted by the transportation COM
panies. Packing-houses will not
come in advance of the production OF
hogs, or III they do, they will be A.
nancial failures andour condition will
be worse than If they had not been
established at all. A packng-house
cannot afford to ship the greater
number of hogs too great distances,
or to depend on an uncertain sup
ply. We must. therefore, grow the
hogs as the first step towards obtain
ing the packing-houses. But these
difficulties are merely h~indrances,
and will not render hog growing un-
profitable, under our especially fav-
orably conditions for the cheap pro-
duction of good feeds. We need the
hog ON the Southern farm to con-
sumo catch crops and feeds grown
for soil improvement. and turn them
into a high-priced profitable product,
while leaving on the soil the plant
foods used in their growth.

or three ideas to which we have been
thoroughly weeded. One is, that the
man who raises hogs for meat does
not need a ~pure-bred boar. If the
pork producer does not need a pure
final object of all h~og-raising and
the end of all hogs the pork barrel?
Not only do the growers of hogs for
pork production need pure-bred sires,
but they need good ones. No grade
boar is good enough to use as a sire
for the production of hog grown for
meat making.
We must also get rid of our mania
for crossing" Any ~pratical feeder
knows the advantages of feeding a lot
of hogs of the same age, size and
type. and any man who will study
the markets will o learn the value
of uniformity in color and type, in
any bunch of hogs when put on the
market.
In the feeding of hogs, we have
much to learn. No hog grown for
pork has any business living TO I'VE
a year old or weighing over 800 lbs.
The reason is plain; The larger the
hog, the more it takes to maintain
him, and he must provide for him
self before he can work for his own
er-that is, make pork. We need,
too, to learn that pork cannot be pro-
ftably made on corn alone. or on
pasture alone, but that a combina-
ton of concentrates and succulent
feeds is necessary. We. car produce
pork at less cost than the "Corn
Belt" farmers; but to do SO, we must
know how to breed, feed and care
for hogs, and most of us have these
things yet to learn.-Progressive Far

horse implement will get over so
slowly that in a wet spell the grass
is pretty certain to get ahead: of him.
Then, with grass as high as the young
cotton, his field is in a bad way, all
of which could have been prevented
by the rapid use of the weeder. If
you use the Keystone weeder. you
can close it up and run between the
rows and scratch the soil shallowly
and keep up the dust mulch. l know
a farmer who makes his entire corn
crop with no implement but the weed
er. And he makes good crops, too.

FRoH COTTON F1ELD TO KITCHEN

Cottolene comes from the oil OF the
nutritious cotton seed. Without touch OF
human hands, it flows through the fac
tory from one process to another, and
finally into pals sealed alright by
special machines, and protecting the
Cottolene also from dust and odors.
Compare this with most other cooking
fats-made from hog fat, which is al
ways more or less ~indigestible, and in
ferior in quality-and marketed in tubs
or loose-covered pals.
From cotton field to kitchen, Cotto-
lene is made with the single aim of puri-
ty, healthfulness, cleanliness. OF what
other cooking fats can this 'truthfully be
said?

For the earliest beets, l use the
Egyptian. but not many of them, for
the Eclipse is nearly as early and of
better quality. For family use, the
old Passano beet is excellent. The
marHet growers do not. like it, as it's
big ton makes it harder to bunch and
the light color is not fancied. But
the quality of the Bassano is better
tran any other early beet. My ear
Hest beets We're sown in a frame in
early january and are now quite large.
But the sowing outside should usu-
ally be in Feb ruary, for if the young
plants get into the rough leaf with

stand a good deal of freezing later.

Dust the early garden peas and
early cabbages with tobacco dust to
prevent the lice or aphis getting start

the best preventive of plant lice of
any kind. All the garden books writ

sowing of parsnips and satisfy. But
do not follow this advice in the south.
The last of June or early July is time
enough for these plants which are

and you will get better plants than
in a hot-bed. But in bedding sweet
potatoes do not use any that have
brown blotches on the skin, as that is
indicative of the black rot, and you
will have black-shanked sprouts

Tomato plants that have been har-
dened of in the frames can now be
set outside. After they are set, be-
gin the spraying with Bordeaux mix

If frost threatens, turn the plants
down and shovel the soil over them
till the cold passes. I have carried
them through a hard freeze in this
way.
