on Goethe and Schiller" By way o
introduction Prof Smith said that no
far from Leipzig lies the little town o
Weimar that was made famous BY two
of the greatest German writers, Goeth,
and Schiller, who spent the most fruitful
years of their lives here, and who collec
ted other writer's about them until Wei
mar became a literary centre with the
title of the Athens Of Germany" The
speaker then discussed the work accom-
plished by both men. In their literary
achievements both we're great, vet Schil-
ler's efforts made complicated by con
tinuous struggle with poverty and illness,
in spite of which he achieved greatness.
Goethe. on the other hand enjoyed a
life of ease as the favorite of Duke Karl
Augustus. As a writer of lyric poetry,
ballads, and the drama, Schiller was "; h
out a peer; Goethe was equally distin-
guished in all branches of literature, and
i'll addition he was a great scientist and
a skillful diplomatist Matthew Arnold
said that Goethe was the greatest poe"
and the clearest, the largest, and the
most helpful thinker of modern times Z"
Their common literary labors and the
high ideals they held before their con
temporaries laid the foundation for a
united Germany, a dream that not fully
realized until after 1870 In conclusion
Prof. Smith said Goethe and Schiller
are united even in death, as they were in
life, for they lie at rest side by side in
front of the caskets of their patrons.

AGAIN! HOW DID YOU GET EN-?

The Hendersonville Democrat and
the Brevard News having called upon
Brother Tompkins of the Jackson
Journal for particulars as to the man
her in which he secured a new suit Of
clothes, about which he had been
boasting, Brother Tompkins gave L
cryptic answer that a good name is
rather to be chosen than great riches.
From which we infer that some accom-
nodating merchant of Sylvia has been
stung. And not only for the aforesaid
Suit but also for a glorious new green
nat with a fancy ribbon around it and
a bow behind. In fact our Jackson
county contemporary is going about all
dclled up these days and presents a
picture of prosperous contentment that
would make glad the hearts of his two
friends on the French Broadway
uesVllle Courier. To this the Brevard
News adds: Worse and worse"

eere of q fertilizer containing 8 to 10
per cent available phosphoric acid, 4
to 6 per cent potash, and 3 to 4 per
cent nitrogen.
Seeding.
For the Coastal Plain and Piedmont
sections, the spring seeding may be
made during March or early in April,
and the. fall seeding any time between
August 20 and October Is. In the
mountain section the spring seeding
will have to be made in April and the
fall seeding during the latter part of
July or early in August in order to
get best results. The rape seed are
sown broadcast alone or with other
crops like small grains and crimson
clover. In sowing with small grains,
the rye, oats, or wheat seed should first
be drilled in or sown broadcast and
covered an inch deep and then the rape
seed sown broadcast and lightly COW
cred by means of a light smoothing
harrow or brush. Where the rape is
used alone 4 to 5 pounds of seed per
acre will be sufficient. A good seeding
when sown with oats, would be 1 IL
bushels of Red Rust Proof or Appler
oats with about 2 to 8 pounds of Dwarf
Essex rape seed. Rye. at the rate of
2 pecks or wheat at the rate of 4 pecks
per acre may be substituted for the
oats if found desirable to make the
substitution. Another mixture that
has been found to give good results in
supplying pasturage for hogs consists
of a feeding made up of 2 to 8 pecks of
rye, 5 to 6 pounds of crimson clover,
and 2 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape
seed. This latter mixture has proven
particularly valuable for the mountain
section for elevation less than $500
feet above sea-leve1. Usually with
rape alone or seeded in the mixtures
indicated above, the grazing may be
started usually within thirty to sixty
days after seeding. frequently dur.
ing a favorable season the rape may
be lightly grazed by pigs three to four
weeks after seeding.
Precautions in Grazing.
In p~asturing rape the hogs should
not be allowed on it until the plants
are at least 10 to II inches high, for il
Pastured this time the young plants
will be likely. to be pulled up and kill
ed. Care should be exercised, too,
the number of hogs on the pasture is
not so large as to keep the rape too
closely grazed, for such would prove
fatal to the plants and the life of the
pasture would thereby. be materially
shortened. After being grazed, the
plants should be given an opportunity
to get we'll started into growth before
being grazed again. By dividing the
field into lots these may be pastured
i'll succession. If sown on good land
and properly handled one acre of rape
will provide grazing for ten to twelve
hogs for something like two to three
months or more.

RAPE F0R HOG.PASTURAGE.

&t4t &s4 %
VIM go Further Toward Fattening
Hogs Than Other Acreage Crops.
The rape plant closely resembles
r~uta-baga during its early stages
OF growth in fact,sso close is this re-
Eemblances that often an experienced
grower cannot distinguish between
them. It's root system, however, Is
moreelike that Of the cabbage. 1t likes
o weather and will grow during
any portion of the year after severe
freezing weather is passed. 1t will n
dure pretty severe cold weather in the
fall and winter without being material
~ injured; in fact, it may be used for
pasturage after being frozen, provid-
ed stock are kept off while it is frozen.
1t does not make much growth dur
ing the hot, dry months Ut midsummer.
Under ordinary conditions the plants
will attain a height of Is inches to 2
feet or more. The Dwarf Essex vari-
ETY. of this crop is best suited for use
under Southern conditions.
Possibilities Of the Crop.
Farmers are becoming more and
more interested in the production OF
green crops for fall, winter, and early
spring grazing. Especially is this true
OF those who are engaged in the rails
ing of hogs and poultry. For winter
~rasturage an acre or two of this crop
will supply many tons of nutritious
feed al. the time of the year when green
feeds are scarce. 1t has been fully
demonstrated by repeated trials that
an acre of rape properly seeded on
rich land will produce as much pork
when used as a hog pasture as the
same acre of land cultivated in corn.
The rape can be grown much cheaper
than the corn, as it will not require
any cultivation, and the preparation
of the seed-bed and seeding will be
about the same for both. The hogs
will harvest the rape crop, while the
corn must be harvested by the farmer
himself. 1t should be remembered,
however, that the acreage Of rape that
can be proftably utilized for pasture
on the average farm is limited, it
usually not being more than two to
three acres.
In feeding experiments at the Ala
bama station running for LAT days
(November 9-April 81 with pigs weigh
ing approximately 45 pounds each at
the beginning of the experiment, it
was found that the two lots of pigs
fed ON a ration of two parts Of corn
and part of wheat shorts and al
lowed the use of a rape pasture dur
ing the period produced pork on an
average of S4.4 per cent less cost per
pound, counting the cost Of providing
the rape pasture, than did another lot.
fed on the same ration and confined
in dry lots. In other words, the lots
-fattened on rape pasture, supplement-
ed with the necessary amount. of the
ration of corn and wheat shorts, made
very satisfactory profit, while the lot
fattened on the ration of corn and
wheat shorts alone in dry lots afforded
little or no profit.
Soil and It's Preparation.
Rape is best adapted for growth on
a deep, rich, mellow, loamy soil that is
fairly we'll stored with humus. It
does not do well on the very light
sandy or stiff clay soils because they
are deficient in organic matter. Any
soil that will produce wheat and corn
we'll will be found suited for the
growth of rape. In preparing the land
