the poorest corn years the kafir had
outyielded corn so to 100 per cent.
Placing his dependence in kafir he
therefore gave kafir the same show
that farmers generally give corn,
and this man planted his kafir as
early as his neighbors planted corn.
The seed bed had been well prepared,
the kafir was frequently and as
thoroughly cultivated and the field
was clean, with the result that this
mans kafir is as big as the corn Of
the community and his chances for
a kafir crop and for the feed he
needs are at this writing very much
better indeed than are the chances
for a crop of corn. This young man
exemplifies what Kansas Farm
er has many times presented, namely
that the farmer who would be most
sure Of feed cannot afford to neglect
the kafir crop--either in acreage,
methods Of planting. cultivation, or
in any other particular. Let us
place greater dependence and faith
in kafir, and If we will our prosper

His pigs had been pasturing on it
ever since tie pigs we're old enough
to pasture, and If this rape did not
grow another inch during the grow
ing season Of this year he would

know that Kansas Farmer has been
urging the necessity Of hog pasture
and has recommended alfalfa, as we
know it to be the best hog pasture
crop, but there are whole lot Of
fellows who have no alfalfa pasture
for some reason or other. and such
can well afford to give rape trial.
In the eastern two-thirds Of Kansas
there Is very rarely reason why the
hogs cannot be pasturad on alfalfa.

We found the plg crop short. this
due 70 the close sale OF stock last
summer and IN a considerable mea-
sure due 10 the loss OF breeding
stock BY cholera. One cause OF the
present pig shortage Is on account
OF the effect OF the late. cold spring
on sows at farrowlng. Many farm
ers told us they did not raise 80 per
cent OF the pigs farrowed. This sit
jlation. OF course, is due TO the lack
OF proper quarters for narrowing
However. we found one hog man in
particular who raised a full crop OF
pigs. This man was Jim Haley. Hope.
Kansas. Haley had no cholera in
his herd last year. and he attributes
this to preventive measures which
he pursued and by supplying his hogs
with such conditions OF shelter and
feed as kept them healthy and hearty.
He has the best hog plant It has been
this editors opportunity to see. How
ever, we admit that we are not IA
miIiar with the operation OF swine
growers. that department OF Kansas
Farmer business being looked after
by specialists in swine hVsbandry. It
occurs to me however. that Jim
Haleyis hog barns are models of eff
ficlency and convenience, and we
believe that any hog man who con-
templates erecting new buildings for
the accommodation OF his swine can
well afford to travel several hundred
miles to see Haley's plant.
But the scarcity OF hogs in KAN
sas. which am told is the condition
generally throughout the corn belt of
the middle west indicates that hogs
will bring good prices during the
next i 2 months and that there should
be more attention given to the swine
on the farms of Kansas farmer folks.

that these feeding operations we're

he could not feed and fatten these

which to do so on. He stated that

field for forage, having learned that

that county, as we'll as all the coun-

MAKING HENS LAY.

NJ. Joubert, professor at the agri-
cultural college at Fontainebleau,
France, believes that he has discov-
cred a new and simple method OF
making hens lay. He feeds them
with wine in addition to their ordi-
nary food. The professor has not
allowed his discovery to be made
known lightly. He has been expert
menting with fowls of all kinds for
several years, and finds the same
result in every case. In each case
he experimental for the four winter
months with two sets of twelve fowls
of the same breed, adding bread
soaked in wine to the food of one
of the two sets of twelve. After si1
separate trials, the wine-fed hens
laid more eggs, in the proportion OF
twenty eggs a month or thereabouts

cles were given by Mrs. Burns to
Miss Grace Haugh, who, with her
parents, for many years resided in a

Burns at his death. Miss Haugh
