FARM MANAGEMENT.
Tor Profit-Wm. H. Locke's Ex.
periments.

Frequently | am confronted
with striking examples of both
profitable and Improbable sys-
TENS of farm management. Per-
haps to mention some of these eX-
amples occasionally will be worth
while.
One instance that has been
brought to my attention i'll the
last few days concerns the matter
of hog management in particular
On my way to. vaccinate some
hogs southwest of Mexico, | stop
ped for a few minutes at Mr. VIM.
Locke s farm. Mr.. Locke had a
herd of stock hogs that he was
feeding. Along during the dry
spell he had feared that his crops
would not warrant his keeping
the shoats, but he kept his faith
IN the cowpeas that were planted
in every corn field, and in the few
acres of rape which he had.
Rather early he was compelled TO
turn in on one corn and COW pea
field. With a little additional
corn the hogs did we'll Finally it
rained little aud the rape began
to grow rapidly. Now the hogs
are on the rape field being fed
corn in addition and doing well.
Not everyone knows the great
value of these forage crops for
hogs. The COW peas in the corn
and the rape made it possible for
Mr.. Locke to hold his hogs and
make economical gains, even with
corn so high in price. Others
have been able to do this same
thing with their hogs and some
are handling a few lambs to eat
the underground of COW peas and
soy beans in the corn fields.
In contrast to this condition,
there are many farmers who are
sacrificing their shoats, whereas,
in some cases at least, the practice
Of growing cow peas, rape, or
other forage crops would make it
possible for them to feed the hogs
to good advantage. incidentally,
the hogging off of the crops and
feeding of additional grain is do
ing something for the land s sake.
Valuable information on the
subject of Forage Crop Rotation
For Pork Production is contained |
in Bulletin No. 10, which may be
had free from the Agricultural |
Experiment Station, Columbia,
Mo. Among the interesting fig
ures shown in this bulletin are
averages for a number of differ
ent forage crops. The average
number of pounds gained per
buShel of corn fed where hogs
had access OF forage crops was
lS.4 pounds. With pork at &c
per pound, this figures a return of |
81. 10 per bushel for the corn fed !
The average for dry lot feeding
wit hpork at &c per pound was
6Gc per bushel for the corn fed |
When the gains for grain fed was
figured the same as for dry lot
feding the forage crops We're
worth an average of $22S7 per
acre with pork at &c per pound. |
With pork at Sc per pound the
forage crops averaged $30.36 per
acre.
Surely it will pay us to make
more use of forage crops in our
hog management systems.

School Teacher at Cedar Falls Will
Not Accept Increased Pay When
Others Do Not Participate.

Cedar Falls, April 24.-There is at
least one teacher in the state who does
not care to have her salary raised
unless her associates in the same
building are treated likewise. That
person is Miss Genevieve Griffith, an
sighth grade teacher in the Lincoln
building at Cedar Falls.
Miss Griffith has been teacher here
Tor the last five years. She has been
30 successful that the board decided to
raise her salary to $50 month for
next year, thus making the salary the
same as those to be paid the high
school teachers.
Some one told Miss Griffith, before
the board had made public the list, of
the increase she was to receive. She
called on two members of the school
board and informed them that she
could not accept the increase unless
they raised the salaries of those asso-
ciated with her In the Lincoln school
to something near the wage they in
tended to pay her. The board refused,
and Miss Griffith will remain next
year at her old salary of $40 month.
