Business Principles as Important on
Farms as They Are Elsewhere.


In swine breeding, as in every other
industry, the business side of the in
duEtry is a very important feature.
That it has often been overlooked has
resulted in unsatisfactory profits and
ultimate encouragement even when
the breeder has become fairly we'll
acquainted with the details of the bus
mess.
Success in n business is very
largely dependent upon the managers
business habits. The Investment in
swine breeding, whether it be breed
ing registered stock to sell as breed
ers. or raising pork for market and
home use, must be treated as capital
in any other business. Since land
values have increased considerably
within recent years and feed crops
ere more expensive to produce. breed
ers must look carefully to the cost of
raising swine.
1t is a very difficult matter to pro-
luce cheap pork without keeping ac-
counts. Some idea must be had as to
the cost Of feeding and marketing
each animal. Without this. the breed
ct can be sure he is making
money. This information is necessary
not only at the time the animal Is dis

Fodder pulling time will soon be
here again and many a corn field will
be ''butchered" in this way at a great
er expense in labor and decreased corn
yield than it would have cost to pro-

practiced only in the South and more
largely in the Southeast, but the soon

N COVER CROPS.
Ten Thousand Farmers Wants to
FERN q Cover Crop Club in North
Carolina.

by. c. r. Hudson, State AGENT
The Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work is asking for the names
n addresses of all farmers whom it
can induce to poin in a Cover Crop
CLUB. 1t wants the names of farmers
VINO have never grown a cover crop
and those who will increase their
acreage of this crop. There are no
ices or dues attached to the work.
All that is asked in return for the as
s1stance rendered is that the farmer
give q report of the crop. In coun-
ties Where there lisa Demonstration
Agent, application should be made to
him. In other counties names should
be sent to the State Agent at Raleigh.
Be sure to state number of acres you
propose to add and the kind of crop or
crops which you wish to grow. In
structions will be SEN to all who an
bly, for them.
A few OF. the valuable features of a
cover crop may be named as follows:
l. 1t prevents loss of soil fertility
by washing. Lands that lie bare dur.
irg the winter lose more plant food
5y teaching than is used by the crop
that grows there during the summer.
2. 1t furnishes grazing to stock at
e time when food of all kinds is
scarce. 1t also produces health and
Eigor in animals and keeps up a good
flow of milk of dairy COWS. Any sue
cessful system Of live stock produc-
'ion is largely dependent upon winter
as we'll as summer grazing.
.. If We establish an, enduring and
prosperous agriculture in the state
VIC SHALL have to get humus vegetable
or organic matter) into our soils.
Growing a winter crop is one of the
ways or doing this. All farmed lands
should grow at least two crops pei
year-a sale crop and a soil-improve-
ment crop whether this is left on the
lGnd or first fed to the stock and then
returned there A decline in soil fer,
tiiity is not always due. to a lack of
nitrogen, potash or phosphoric acid.
1t is often due to the absence of hu.
mus.
There are ten or twelve plants that
are suitable for winter growing in
North Carolina. One or more OF them
is adapted to the various soil types
end sections of the state. We shall
be pleased to, enroll all farmers who
will help carry forward this important
movement

Deutb 10 Pint Lime Tar AIfaIfa.

: A reader says it is stated in The
Progressive Farmer that it is a "mis
take TO plow under lime for alfalfa; =
while in another paper a man recogniz
ed al an authority says: "If the land
needs lime pillow it under"
The term "plOw" is rather indefinite
and may e putting lime into the
ground at any depth from three to
eight inches. 1t may also be stated
that when a large quantity is applied,
such as is frequently done in prepar-
Ing for alfalfa, it may be naked with
the soil to a greater depth than when
a small quantity is applied. Indeed.
for a deep-rooted plant like alfalfa,
It is entirely possible that it will be
an advantage to put the lime deeper,
o. at least to mix it with the top soil
to a greater depth, than in ordinary
applications. But as a general rule,
we think, it is pretty well established
that the best plan is to disk the lima
into the top three OF four inches of
soil.

Rape as a Winter Pasture Crop.

A reader wants to know if we con-
slider rape as good a pasture crop as
oats or rye and, if the rape is plowed
under In the spring, will it benefit the
land?"
We consider rape a much better
pasture than oats or rye for late fall
and early winter grazing, but ior
early spring grazing the oats and rye
are superior. Rape sowed in the early
spring will furnish late spring graz
ing. Assg&
Rape must be put on rich land to
do we'll. On medium to poor land
oat sand rye will furnish more graz
ing.
Rape turned under would do the
land good, as do. rye and oats, by fur
nishing humus-making material; but
rape properly used will be grazed OFF
during the late fall and winter months.

b to Sow AIfalfa.

Some of our readers who also read
Northern agricultural papers ask us
about sowing alfalfa in the spring,
end also about sowing it with nurse
crops like oats, barley, or wheat.
All things considered, there is little
doubt that the fall-September 1 to
October Isis the best period for
sowing alfalfa in the South. Good re-
suits may be sometimes secured from
spring seeding, but it is generally to
be discouraged and should only be
practiced when fall seeding is imprac-
tIcable. 1t should never be sowed
with nurse crops, in the South.

Best Feed for Young Calves.

What is the best feed for calves five
months old, the mothers not being
milked?'
For calves five months old that are
sucking their mothers, there is no bet
ter feed than equal parts of corn and
oats and some good legume hay. If
the milk supply and the legume hay
are fairly abundant, corn alone will
give excellent results and Is usually
cheaper than oats.

BILE Feeders.
Many feeders of livestock obtain no
profit because they give no more feed
than the animal needs to support it
self. If all the feed given is needed
to supply heat to the body and keep
I'D the working machinery, like the
heart lungs, ETC., no profit can come
To the owner but all he gives is lost.
Il may pay sometimes to feed in this
Way when feeds are high and cheaper
feeds are certain to be available later,
but the young and small animal makes
a better use of feed than the old and
large one, because there is less body
weight to maintain. For instance, if
it requires one pound of feed to sup
port a pig weighing so pounds, and
three pounds to support a 200-pound
hog, the small pig will appropriate
two pounds of every three pounds of
feed to growth or the profit of the
awner; whereas if the same quantity
Of feed, three pounds, is given to the
SO0-pound hog, there is no gain and
consequently no profit.
