HOG RAISING PROFITABLE TO FARMERS

tains it. 1t costs no more, if as much
to put pound of flesh on pure bred
hog as it does on cross bred or scrub
animal, and the difference in the sell.
ing price warrants an absolute chang.
ing from non-descript to pure bred AMI
mails.
Intelligent feeding of swine can be
made to accomplish surprising gains.
Farmers generally agree that it is
very difficult to make satisfactory
gains in young swine during the win.
ter, but in suggesting along this line,
a word of commentator should be
given to rye pasture for the late fall.
during open winter weather, and in
the early spring. Young rye is rich
in protein which is so essential tc
growing the body of a young ANNA,
and without an adequate supply OF
which he soon assumes starved ap-
pearance. Young rye is as good as
clover for this purpose.
1t is well known fact that an ami
NAL well fed while young is a more
satisfactory feeder later on, and that
an animal starved while young can
seldom if ever be made to put on the
hest gains afterwards.

COVER CROPS PROTECT THE LAND
DURING THE LONG WINTER MONTHS
Crime Against Kentucky Soils To Leave Them Exposed-Rye
Much in Favor-Soi Has Hard Struggle To
Produce Even Reasonably Good Crops

Rye is much in favor as cover crop
because OF the relative cheapness of
seed, the lateness at which rye can
be sown, the comparative certainty
of getting stand, its degree of inn
munity to winter freezing, and the
amount and quality of the partllre fur
nished in the fall, winter and early
spring.
1t has been found at the Kentucky
Experiment Station that young rye up
to six inches in height contains 5.75
per cent of protein, and being so rich
in protein it is a most excellent feed
for young animals. Young pigs thrive
on rye pasture and even in the winter
can be seen roofing through the snow
in order to bite off the tender blades,
In case rye is sown especially for the
use Of swine in the winter it would be
well TO sow three or four bushes to the
acre, one-half this quantity being
drilled east and west and the other
half north and south, which method
secures almost sod which is not
easily broken through in wet weather.
1t is also good idea to SOW rye broad
cast in the corn field from the first of
September to the middle of October,
to serve as a cover crop or pasture
or both.
While rye serves valuable purpose
in utilizing and thus conserving avail
able plant food through the autumn
and winter months, it is not legume
and consequently fixes no atmospheric
nitrogen. This shortening can be
largely overcome by supplementing
the rye crop with hairy or winter
vetch. In using rye and yetch to-
gether 1t is a good idea to SOW early
in September, using three pecks of
rye and twenty pounds Of vetch seed,
mixed. The feeding value of vetch is
excellent and it deserves prominent
place in our system of farming.
Such cover crop as mixed rye and
vetch or rye alone is very valuable as
a green soiling crop to be turned un-
der in the spring. The turning under
should not be postponed too long, in
| fact it should be done before the rye
joints If postponed until after this
time the probability is that the soil
will be drying out considerably and the
enormous quantity of vegetable matter
composed largely of straw, If the rye
| is allowed to head out, will not de-
compose readily and will serve as a
barrier to the capillary rise of mois-
ture from the subsoil, and the result
| will be that whatever crop is being
grown will suffer unless 1t has a very
! damp season.

IT. R. Bryant, Superintendent Exten-
sion Division, Kentucky Experiment
Station)
Even the most casual observer who
has any regard for the agricultural
welfare of Kentucky, has noticed the
crime against Kentucky soils, of leav-
ing them exposed through the winter
months The majority of the land in
this state is of rolling, hilly or
even mountainous topography, the soil
an the majority of cases being clay
Joan, which conditions conspire to
make the soils wash readily. The
cropping systems used by our farmers
are none too good, in fact in many
cases are very bad, and the soil has a
hard struggle to produce reasonably
good crops even if properly cared for
during the winter.
Corn occupies greater acreage in
Kentucky than any other crop and
since many other crops are also cul-
fivated, the loosened soil is left in
the best possible condition for gully
ing. This method CT cultivation haV-
ing been kept up year after year has
left its marks which may be seen in
the majority of the counties of the
state in the form of deep gullies or
barren parched hillsides, reducing the
productiveness of the soils to such an
extent as to make its tillage imprac'
4icable.
The most effective way OF prevent
ing this great damage is by never
leaving our land without cover crop
during the winter months.
1t is we'll known fact that in the
late summer and early fall, under rea-
sonably seasonable conditions, the bac-
terial life in the warm soil Is as active
as at any other time during the year
Under the action of these micro-or.
ganisms in the soil large amount OF
plant food is converted from insoluble
into readily soluble forms, in which
condition it awaits only rai2, to be
1eached out and carried away The
rational thing for us to do under these
circumstances is to have something
growing which will utilize this readily
available plant food incorporate it with
In its growing body and thus hold it to
be used for next years crop. Such q
crop as rye, sown from the first OF
September to the middle of October
feeds greedily upon this plant food as
1t is made available, gets a good
growth under reasonable conditions
and is ready for It's manifold duties
through the winter.

Suggestions on Swine Raising.
Perhaps the two most noticeable
wants Of Kentucky agriculture, is the
lack of sufficient live stock on the
average farm and the exposure of
naked land to winter rains AS re-
yards the live stock situation perhaps
NO phase of it offers greater oppor-
funities to the average farmer than
hog raising. A few suggestions on this
subject might not be amiss here. With
the exception of milking dairy COWS,
hardly any Investment of money in
feed, for live stock is more promptly
returned than that invested in hog
raising. Many other arguments in
favor of an increase In the swine in
dustry might be easily cited. How
ever, in raising swine as is the case
with all other stock we can afford to
raise none but the best. BY this is
not meant any particular breed but
that the animals should be of some
pure breed. Kentucky farmers are no.
4iveably conterIted with things other
than the best, which condi tion should
not prevail. A, good grade is better
than poor animal of pure breeding,
hut generally speaking the pure bred
animal excels the scrub OF cross, and
again it is well recognized fact that
the second cross is of little value and
the herd of the pure breeder must
then be sought and his own price paid
for fresh start.
Those of us who have had any ex-
perience on the markets know what
It means to get the top price or on the
other hand to have TO take fifty cents
on one dollar below the top price, be
cause our hogs do not top the market
This discrepancy must be deducted
from the net profits, which are none
too large at pest. Inheritance largely
fixes the possibility of an animal, fur
nishes the detailed plans and specifica
tons beforehand, while the feeding
later builds the structure and main

grave concern here. The Yankees, in
GLIDING number of women and chill

at Saltillo decline to take the respon-

be avoided. The report comes from

called upon the Mexican foreign office

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 2S.-

made a speech here today in which
he declared that the states should
exercise some control over nOmina
tions for some elections. He also de-
clared that the state should assume
the expenses of some kinds of elections
and so remove the danger of bribery
and corruption to a very great ex-
tent.
His wish that the state should re-
gulate nominations is due to the belief
that machine nominations are the
greatest curse of the system Of elect
ing legislators and officials. His sug-
gestions were accepted warmly by
most of those present although there
is feeling that the method would be
impracticable.
