REVIVAL OF DRY FARMING.

Dry farming has become so gem
eral that Canada has invited the ma
t1ons to take part next month in the
Seventh international Dry Farming
Congress, to be held at Lethbridge.
Alberta. For many centuries dry
farming was lost industry. 1t is
older than the Christian era, but had
been forgotten until the need of it
for cultivating the arid lands of the
West was felt.
Briefly, the plan is to pillow so deep
that the rainfall will sink to the sub
soil; to keep the plowed surface mel
low by cultivation and thus prevent
the moisture from coming to the sur
face and eyaporating and to let the
land lie fallow every other year,
thus giving two years of rainfall to
nurture one crop.
Under this system many districts
which has been abandoned for farm
ing purposes in Kansas are being re-
claimed and much of the arid lands
Of Wyoming, New Mexico and other
Western States are being brought
into cultivation. Canada has a much
smaller arid area than this country,
but the possibilities OF dry farming
are so we'll known there that she
will entertain the next annual con-
gress. While the progress in this
industry has been great there are
still problems to solve.
While there are no arid lands in
the South the same principles OF
cultivation would prevent the great
loss from "drougths" which attend
the growing Of cotton in South Geor-
gia. These losses are the direct re-
suit of shallow blowing, which does
not allow the moisture to sink deep
enough into the soil to store up a
supply against weeks dry wealth
eT. To the same cause may be at
tributed the rust" and "scald"
which attack cotton about the time
it is taking on fruit. The last two
have been attributed to insufficient
fertilization, but it is nearly always
a case Of deficient moisture.
Apply dry culture methods in
farming to the South and the yield
of every acre could be doubled. In
stead of rest years the land could
be soWn in grain and later in peas,
for rotation, so that we would gather
two crops, while in the arid part of
the West the land is idle. Many of
Our more advanced farmers have
been applying the principles of dry
farming, although they did not know
them by that name. When all Of our
farmers use these methods we shall
see yields largely increased, and
that, too, without expensive fertiIi-
cation Dry farming is only COM
nonsense farming. - Savannah

HINTS FOR HOG RAIsERs.

HINTS FOR HOG RATSERS.
Hog fattening time is again with
us and we hope our readers have
needed our advice and are better
prepared than ever before for max
ing pork economically The man
who still fattens his hogs on corn
alone, in dry lot or small pen, is
beyond help. He will continue to
make his pork at from ten to 20
cents a pound and declare there is
no money in raising hogs. For such
man it is cheaper to buy pork than
to raise it.
We wish, however, to reason a lit
tie with the man who has peanuts,
cowpeas, soy beans Or other grazing
crops for his hogs. 1t is a mistake
to allow the hogs to get their entire
feed from these crops. When hogs
are grazing these, a quarter or a
third Of a full ration Of corn will be
worth at least a dollar bUshel and
no one can afford not to feed it. The
failure to feed some corn to the hogs
while grazing these crops rich in
protein is almost as big a mistake as
to feed corn alone in dry lot. The
only difference is that the wasted
feeds-peanuts, soy beans, etc.
have not cost quite so much as the
corn that is wasted by the other
method.
When the hogs have grazed Off the
legume crops they should be fed for
not to exceed three weeks on a rO
tation of one part Of cOtton-seed
meal to three parts Of corn. This
will improve the quality Of the car
cass, the hogs will gain rapidly on
this feed, and cheap pork will be
made.
1t is likely that we shall again
have the usual crop of "big hog
stories when December rolls around.
Until we learn that it takes three
times as much feed to make pound
of gain in weight on a hog weighing
100 pounds, these stories will con-
tinue. They are simply an evidence
of our ignorance regarding econo-
mical pork production, instead Of
something that any one should be
proud Of No hog kept for pork
production should live longer than
one year or weigh over 800 pounds.
The man who has only corn to
feed his hogs should probably sell
them to someone who has grown
peanuts, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet
beans, or some such crops for hog
feed but if he will not do this, then
he should buy tankage and feed one
part of tankage to about eight parts
of corn. The taknage is high
priced-$50 to $50 a ton-but it is
cheaper than corn alone. Soy beans
and corn grown on the farm will
make cheaper pork than tankage
and corn, but tankage and corn will
make cheaper pork than corn alone.
The fattening hogs will need plen-
ty Of good pure water to drink and
it will also pay to keep the follow
ing mixture under shelter where
they may go to it and eat at will.
One bushel each of charcoal and
hardwood ashes.
One pound each of copperas and
common salt.
The charcoal should be broken
into small Jumps, the copperas DOW

than to give little of my
actual experience, as my
farm consists of sandy land
I usually plant about rs or 80
acres in peanuts, dividing this into
three paintings, with each plot of
land fenced hog proof separate The
first planting should be planted
about April the first, the second
planting about May the first, the re-
mainder June the first. The April
peanuts are ready to turn the shoats
on by August Is. Provide the shoats
with plenty of pure, clear water and
let them have free access to all the
hardwood ashes and salt they will
eat daily. Then take notice how
those shoats are growing and fatten-
ing. When / see the shoats are hav-
ing to rustic for peanuts, 1 turn
them on the May planting, turning
my brood sows on the plot of land
my shoats have been running on;
with what scattering peanuts they
find and vines they consume they
keep in good breeding shape Never
turn brood SOW on a fresh peanut
field; they will get so fat they will
become almost worthless as breed
err.
There are two varieties of pea
nuts, the Spanish and Virginia.
prefer the Spanish; they mature
earlier and are more drouth resis-
tant.
An acre Of peanuts should feed
10 head of hogs for 80 days or more
when the hogs will weigh around
200 pounds, the hogs doing the
harvesting.
In this sandy soil / find peanuts
can be grown as second crop after
either oats or potatoes. With the
exception Of the planter, no extra
tools are needed in growing this
crop, and~the method in growing
this crop, and the method of tillage
given corn or cotton secures large
yields of peanuts. This is of imme-
date advantage, as the majority Of
farmers in nay territory are loath to
adopt new methods Of crop manage
ment or new implements.
The peanuts enrich the soil in
which they grow, the same as alfal-
ia, clover and cowpeas. Millions Of
dollars are spent annually by our
farmers for pork products, when the
thinnest, cheapest sandy lands in
this State will produce $50 worth
of pork an acre a year, the hogs do
ing the harvesting. Like the cow
pea, the peanut seems to be especial
1y adapted to the sandy soil and eli
mate of Texas; they prefer the pea
nuts to any other feed, both in pens
and pastures
After run Of six weeks or two
months on peanuts the shoats are
ready to exhibit at fairs, to market,
or to ship out as breeders, and you
will always have pleased customer.
Why? Because the hogs have been
eating feed that forms bone and
muscle; they lay on flesh very
smoath and even; the hair looks like
it had been oiled daily, and the ex-
ercise they get in gathering peanuts
keeps them we'll up on their feet I
am sometimes asked the question if
these peanut shoats are not too fat
for breeders. We rarely ever injure
a hog under year old from getting
him too fat, if he has plenty Of ex-
ercise. Feeding and breeding go to-
gether; you must develop a hog to
the highest degree in order to bring
out the best characteristics in him.
Peanuts will carry pigs safely
through from infancy and develop
them into strong, healthy individu-
ais suitable for breeding purposes

The Fruit and Vegetable Cannery.

Important is the cannery. The
Gamer himself improves his pro-
cess TO such an extent that only
the most skilIful housewives are
liable TO excel in quality of product.
The cannery has come to be the
market for thousands Of acres of
produce. The low prices have ne
cessitated the greatest economy in
cultural methods, the best Of care
to make a profitable crop reason
ably sure, and production on a
scale sufficiently large to attract
labor for the harvest. The pres
ent tendency is TO lengthen the
packing season by the use of early
as well as late varieties. The devel-
opment Of orchards in many local
tiles has been accompanied by a
notable development in vegetable
production. These crops properly
chosen, as we'll as provided for,
may be grown between the tree
rows, and will tide over the hard
times of the starvation period
while the trees are coming into
bearing, besides securing for the
orchard the best Of cultivation.
Such practices are especially COM
mon in the eastern states, where
the country is more thickly set
tied and land is scare and high, and
il is necessary to get the best pos
sible returns. In many instances
the whole cost Of land, trees and
care has been paid before the first
crop Of fruit was sold. This be-
ing the case, it seems to us there
never was better place, nor more
opportune time, for a cannery than
Mena. Arkansas, and right now.
