You will find that they will fatten 10

of liberty so they may secure plenty or

be available at this season of the year.
but If you have some let them Craze
over them, and the mass in the woods
will be of some value also. We think
by giving variety to the ration you will
improve the condition of all your
hogs. We do not think you will
gain anything by giving stock food. The
change suggested in the ration will
prove more beneficial, in our judgment,
than the use of the material referred
to. The variety in your ration is to be
commended, but be sure that the kitchen
shops do not contain alkali soaps or
other materials likely to prove injurious
member that some individual animals
will not fatten readily no matter what
ration you give them, and it may be that
you have one hog in this lot which can
never be fattened satisfactorily.
DAT AND CORN CLUBS IN BUTTS
COUNTY.
w. NJ. f., jackson, Ga. writes: The
farmers of Butts county have organized
an oat and corn club to compete for a
prize, and I would like to know what
fertilizer to use to get the best results
on oats and also on corn, and what is
the best method of planting and Gull
tivating.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-11-22

1t is certainly commendable that the
farmers of Butts county have organized
an oat and corn club. 1t will be a great
pleasure to US to assist this movement
In every possible way, and if the farm
ers will emulate the example of the
boys and girls clubs with anything like
the same degree of success, the agrft11l
tural interests of the state will be mas
terially advanced and the farmers put on
a better economic basis than at present
OF course, the fertilizer which will
give the best results on oats depends
considerably on the soil and its previous
cropping. If you can plant the oats
on land where cowpeas were cultivated
this year. so much nitrogen will not be
needed as if put on land devoted to
corn or cotton. On good clay land. we
believe an 1928 will be found about
right for oats. Where one is endeavor-
ing to make an exceptionally large yield
at least 500 pounds per acre should be
used. If you can secure little manure
to top dressing the land so much the
better. We would advise the breaking
OF the land to a depth of six or eight
inches, and then thoroughly pulverized
by means of a disk. If a good rain falls
before the oats are planted so much the
better as it will tend to firm the soil.
Cereal crops need rather a firm seed
bed. If manure is available use it as
a top dressing, scattering it over the
surface of the ground and working in
with a disk. If your land is sandy, we
would suggest the use of per cent
of phosphorus, per cent of nitrogen
and not less than 3 to 4 per cent of
potash Use the same amount per acre
as suggested for the red clay land 1t
is more important that you have vege-
table matter in the soil through the
turning under of green crops or the use
of yard manure on sandy than on clay
soil. In the spring of the year as
soon as growth starts, we would apply
not less than so to 20 pounds of nj
trate of soda as a top dressing, MAX
ing the second application say about
thirty days later. The second applica-
ton should be put on not less than
two weeks before the oats begin to
bunch to tassel You should treat the
oats for smut, using formaldehyde for
this purpose.
We believe these suggestions careful
ly followed will enable you to raise
good crop. 1t is, of course, very i'm
portant that the oats be seeded at once.
We think the season is now getting late
for the planting OF this crop where the
best yields are anticipated After the
first of November, we would advise I'm
most instances that the oats be put in
by the open furrow method.

Corn of itself is not a satisfactory ra-
ton for the fattening of hogs. If you
will use along with the corn digester
tankage you will find that they will inn
prove in physical condition and make
more rapid gains than on corn alone.
Mix together. say 80 to 50 pounds OF
ground corn with TO 10 pounds OF
digestcr tanlIage and feed as thin slop.
AS digester tankage may be difficult
to get, you had better change your ra-
ton TO oHe-third shorts and two-thirds
corn. You may still feed the ocrn
whole, though we think it desirable to
feed the shorts as a comparatively thin
slop in suitable troughs. You should
supply your hogs with a good range so
they may get a sufficient amount OF
mineral matter to balance up the def

feeding is to be avoided with a SOW

your letter. Keep a BOX containing the
following mixture where she can get at

Wood charcoal, 1 pound.
Sulphur, 1 pound.
Sodium chloride, 2 pounds.
Sodium bicarbonate, 2 pounds.
Sodium hyposulphite, pounds.

You should have grazing crops for
your hogs to feed on I'm the summer
and fall. You may plant rape in the
early spring and follow this with areas
devoted to spring oats. Canada peas,
cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts and arti
chokes. You will find sows maintained
on this character of feed supplemented
by shorts and corn will retain their
health and vigor and prove profitable
breeding animals.
FERTILIZING THE DAT CROP.
II. B., GAINESVILLE, Ga, writes: 1 am
arranging to sow 100 acres in oats. A
large part of the land is gray, soft,
loamy soil which is not very strong.
What is the best fertilizer for this
kind of soil? is a fertilizer contain
ing cotton seed meal injurious to oats
when the guano and seed are put down
together? Are fertilizers made of tank
age, blood. etc, preferable to cotton
seed meal for this crop?
We think you will find a formula run
ming about 1928 satisfactory for oats
on the gray land referred to in your
letter There have been some claims
made that cotton seed meal Injuries the
terminating power of cereals, parucu-
larly wheat We have used it as the
basis of fertilizer for oats for num-
Der of years, distributing the seed and
the fertilizer at the same time through
a combination single stalk drill. L can
not say that we have observed any in
jury from this method, though we haev
always taken the pEecaution to use
about two bushels of oat seed per acre
so as to insure a good stand. We think
that if the oat seed and the cotton seed
meal came directly together there might
De some injury, but where a furrow has
been opened up by bull-tongue and a
distributor and seed drill follow behind,
there will be enough admiXture of earth
with the fertilizer and between 1t and
the seed TO prevent much injury. In
this respect we can only quote our own
experience and state that we would
not hesitate to follow this method of
fertilizing oats. In fact. we are doing it
again this fall and already We have
some excellent stands. OF course, tank
age makes an excellent formula to use
under oats. 1t is an organic source of
nitrogen, and you need not hesitate to
use it. We would be governed by the
relative cost of a formula containing
cotton seed meal and. tankage.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. IL
Smugglers of pretty Chinese slave
girls are willing to pay in bribes as
high as $3.50 each to land them in
this country, where they sell for as
much as $4,000 apiece in the dens Of
the Chinese quarters of the large
cities.
A recent capture at this port Of
four girls, all under 81. brought to
light details of this traffic in human
flesh.
The girls were in a pitiable condi-
ton. They were dressed in mems
clothes and wore slouch hats and
long overcoats. They had been
slowed away in some out-of- -the-way
recess of the boat for the entire trip
over, and are supposed to have been
placed aboard the liner at Hongkong.
The girls would have sold for about
81, 600 each, if they had managed to
slip off the dock and reach Chinatown.
The four girls, all of whom are un-

and weak from long privation. None

SCOTCH COLLIE DOG NOW
CHAMPION CORN-HUSKER

H. P. Allen, a farmer living near
Stanberry Mo-, is the owner of a
Scotch collie dog which he values
highly because it is a good corn
husker.
When the season opened the dog
followed the employees to the field.
With apparent interest he watched
the process of husking. Finally the
animal ran to one of the stalks and,
standing on his hind feet, grabbed an
ear and broke it off with his mouth.
With feet and forepaws he husked
the ear and carried it to his master
to be thrown into the wagon. High
ly pleased with his first efforts the
dog repeated the operation again and
again.
The dog is a year and a half old,
and this season Allen claims he has
husked hundreds of bushels of corn
and kept the employees busy holding
their jobs.

DEADLOCK OVER
TERMS OF PEACE
Turks and Balkans Each De-
cIares That Others Demands
Are Preposterous.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The peace en-
voys both of the Balkan states and of
Turkey have adopted the attitude of
intractability, which was anticipated
toward their opponents proposed
terms of settlement, Each side de-
clares that the others demands are
preposterous.
Third parties, who are in touch with
both groups of negotiators, share this
opinion and intimate that a period Of
whiting is necessary to transform the
proposals and counter proposals into
such shape as will enable the peace
conferences, assisted by the friendly
pressure of the powers, to strike a
bargain. This, it is thought, will oc-
cur in due time. AS a matter of fact,
the proposals of the Balkan allies,
by which they would come into pos
session of the coast of the Sea of
Marmora, is regarded as quite as i'm
possible of achievement as is the
Turkish demand that the Ottoman
empire be allowed to maintain a
suzerainty over the coast of the
Aegean sea, including the city of
Salonil<i.
The powers, it is pointed out, would
promptly veto the project of the al
lies, which would. if carried into ef-
feet, give Bulgaria practical control
of the Dardanelles.
