TO TENNESSEE FARMERS
BY CAPT. 7. II. PECK
State Commissioner Of Agriculture
The Profitable Marketing of MaS
Fed Hogs.
BY S NJ. PRICE.

h5 10 -huOWD, hiu'J oSS''chS
of Tennessee have great many
mast bearing trees, such as beech,
acorn, small hickory nuts, etc.
Mast produces a good, cheap and
quick growth of flesh, bat leaves
the hog, if marketed direct from
the mast, in a condition to be dis
criminated against in price at all
markets. The price is usually two
cents less per pound than the price
of corn fed hogs.
The object of this paper is TO
show the farmer how he can secure
the full benefit of the:growth that
has been put on the animal. We
give the following actual experience
of Tennessee farmer, j. B. 1ount,
efthe Goodlettsvillc G neighborhood.
The results he attained are possible
for any farmer: Mr.. ,Yount had'a
lot of SO hogs of from 25 to lT5
pounds when turned on the mast.
Thesethogs had received the usual
care during the fall that farmers
give to hogs which they expect to
keep through the winter. Mr..
,Yount found that he had a good
mast range on which he could run
his hogs. This would See no ex-
pense toahim, so 'Ae did asany in
telligent farmer would do-turned
his hogs to the mast and fed them
little corn each day to keep them
coming home. This treatment was
kept up until about January 10.
The hogs did we'll on the range.
At this time he was offered 6 cents
for the best end of the stock and 3
cents for the pigs. About that date
the writer being informed by Mr..
Yount that he had, or could buy,
corn from his neighbor at $3 to
$3.50 per barrel, and that he also
; had good piece of rye that he ex-
pected to plow under to improve
the lend, i advised that.1 thought
; that q profit could 'be had 1t he
would put his hogs on the rye and
feed plenty of corn.
, This lot ofAegs was put up about
January Is Gas they had .used'up
the mast by that time) and were
: gradually fed upon the rye and
corn until March 6, on which date
: they were sold en- the Nashville
: market to the Temessee?P Pack ing
aud Stock Yards Company, at an
average price $S.42 per 100 pounds,
? Mr.. Yount guaranteed agaipst'the
hogs killing soft. After slaughter
: ing it was found that three of the
, hogs failed to chill out hard, and
two were oily. One of the oily
: hogs was one that had been with

r pen and fed on corn only, not
: receiving any rye.
, Now for financial results, Mr.
, Yount WAS of the opinion that a.

JOB HUNTERS WEAR
ON MR.. BURLESON
He Finds Il Hard to Resist Their Plead
inEs and Is Getting Haggnrd ana
Worn in His New Position.

Washington. ID. c. June 1A-Post-
master general BurlesOn. OF Texas, VINO
was so years old on June Q. has begun
TO show signs of Oftlce cares ana INC
continued worry and strain that goes
with a cabinet Job.
Probably the hardest pressed man In
administration circles is Mr.. Burleson-
More Job hunters bear down on the
pOstOffice department day after day
than on any other department or Ine
government. probably more than on
any other two departments. The new
postmaster general is a fairly pnllo-
sOphical parsonage, but at that he IS
beginning TO look a little careWOrn and
to lose that free and easy manner he
bore when he was mere congress man
Ever since March 4, BurlesOn has been
beset by hOrdes Of place seekers Sen
atOrs and congressman have sWarmed
in on him daily by the score. ANY time
of day, one can so to the office Of the
postmaster general and find senators
and house members by the score. Each
man in congress, as a rule, has can
didate for two or three pOstmastershtps
Sometimes the candidates look worn
and hungry, as If they had long been
in quest Of office and needed the job
to pay for house rent and grocery bills,
The postmaster general is so occupied
with candidates that he has little time
to devote TO policies An ordinary con-
gresham has Oftentimes to sit around
two hours waiting to get the ear Of the
postmaster general
The situation is made worse from the
fact that every man in the house and
senate. with few exceptions, knows
BurlesOu personally. He finds Il hard
TO resist the pleading OF a Democratic
member of congress with whom he has
served for years and whom he knows
intimately Moreover, BurlesOn has a
soft place in his heart for the politician
down at the crossroads who has fought
the battles Of the party for many years
and has never got anything more than
kind words for his pains.
The pressure for jobs on Burleson is
so great that Republicans in congress
say the civil service system. so far as
notwithstanding are concerned. will be
badly flattened out before the end OF
this administration.

FIGHTING BUGS is
NOT AN EASY TASK
Department Prefers TO Let the Birds
Do It-SpreudinE Poison Among
the Big Beetles.
washington. d. O., June 13-Con- I

Washington. d. c. June 13.-Con-
greSsmen throughout the southwest as
are aroused over the grasshOpper in
yasion in eastern New Mexico. There
nave been sWarms operating in Idaho.
California and other places, but the
situation In New Mexico is decidedly
the worst.
The agricultural department is at
loss to account for the sudden outbreak
because this is the first time this par
ucular grasshopper has even been a
serious menace
This is Just one Of the situations
that may arise at any time" said one
OF the entomOlOgists in discussing the
matter we do not know as much as
we would like about this particular
SraSSnopper- But II we had been
studying him in the past there would
have been a lot of congressman asking
why in the mischief we were wasting
time and money over that sort Of dry
as-dust investigation Now when the
problem suddenly crops Up with an
economic bearing, congress is equally
urgent TO know why we have not been
wasting time and money on it,
The entOmolOgists say that some OBJ
scure thing probably has happened TO
upset the balance Of power in the in
sect world The birds alone would
attend to the grasshOpperS if they had
chance, for all birds. especially
hawks, feed on them Even sea gulls
VIII come several hundred miles in
land for feast Of grasshOppers as
soon as the news spreads that there is
enough water for the gulls to drink.
But the officials say that such out
breaks as the present are one Of the
results of killing off the birds. snakes
and small animals that help to hold the
inSenCeS in check
The hawks, for instance. were the
chief assistants Of man in checking the
field mouse Invasion Of the Humboldt
valley, Cal, two years ago
This promises to be a good summer
TOT insects Of all sorts. owing TO the
killing OF birds and the uildness Of
the past winter. One interesting eN-
pertinent is being tried by the depart
ment Of agriculture in spreading a con-
IaglouS disease among the big white
grubS Of the May beetle. II was found
IN Illinois last year that there was a
structlVe grubs by the bushel-much
more effectually than man could do it.
