TON ISSUES VALUABLE FREE
BULLETIN ON THE HOG
INDUSTR Y,

1t Is common knowledge that the
swine industry Of Maryland is and has
been for a number Of years at a very
low ebb In SO far as the production of
pork Is concerned. Instead Of raising
on our farms enough hogs to supply
the citizens Of our towns and cities
we are actually importing every year
from sister States vast quantities Of
pork and pork products to meet their
demands. Yet in the face OF this evil
dence practically every hog breeder
within our borders will tell you that
for the money invested there Is no
other animal on the farm which
will yield so large profit II
he merits this reputation, why IL it
that our farmers pay so little at.
tention to him? To answer the ques-
ton is difficult, but it is quite prob
able that the extension and spread Of
hog cholera and diseases generally are
largely responsible for existing condi,
lions. Then again 1t is obvious that
there are any number Of farmers who
actually do not realize the monetary
possibilities Of swine production, for
even in localities where hog cholera
has not been at all prevalent, there are
many farmers that produce barely

WHY WASTE TIME FRETTING7
Common Form Of Foolishness Most
Noticeable Among Those Of
Weak Character.

There is one sin which, it seems, Is
everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and too much overlooked
in valuation of character. 1t is the
sin of fretting. 1t is common as air,
as speech-so common, that unless 1t
rises above its usual tone of discord-
ant complaining, we do not even OBJ
serve 1t. Observe any ordinary meet
ing of people, and see how many min
utes it will be before somebody makes
more or less complaining statements
of something or other which probably
everyone in the room, or In the street
it may be, knew before, and probably
no one can help. Why say anything
about it? 1t is cold, it is hot, 1t Is
wet, it is dry; somebody has broken
an appointment, ill-cooked meal;
stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort
There are plenty of things to think
about. 1t is simply astonishing how
much annoyance may be found in the
course of every days living, even of
the simplest, if one keeps a sharp eye
out on that side of things. Even Holy
Writ says we are born to trouble as
sparks fly upward" But even to the
sparks flying upward, in the blacklist
of smoke, there is a blue sky above;
and the less they waste on the road,
the sooner they will reach it, Fret.
ting Is all time wasted on the road.

ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment

Station.
Economy Is one word that the aver
age poultry keeper hasn't had much
use for. l am glad. however, to note
that he Is beginning to have more use
for it. One Of the most fragrant VIC
lations Of economy has been in house
construction. Elaborate and expensive
buildings have been built for housing
poultry and unnecessary capital tied
up. Expensive feeds have been used
when much more simple ones would
be Just as efficacious. Plants have
lot of extra labor has been expended
in caring for the birds.
Nor has the violation Of economical
principles been all on the side of un.
necessary expenditure. Houses have
been too cheaply and Ill constructed or
too many birds placed in them. Too
simple feeds have often been used. A
maintenance ration fed to flock that
should be laying is very poor econ
omy. Many farmers feed their hens
them, when by simply adding perhaps
a little protein feed they would turn
q loss into a profit. l often hear this
statement from persons whose hens are
idle: II can't afford to buy meat
SCRAPS" but the great question Is:
"How can they afford not to buy
them"

COTTONSEED MEAL IS
ECONOMICAL DAIRY F Cd
Market Conditions Favorable To Use
OF Cottonseed At This limo.
G.. e. WOLCOTT,

G. E. WOLCOTT,
Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service.
Owing to the conditions brought
about by the war in Europe, large
part Of the cottonseed cake hitherto
shipped to foreign countries will be
placed on the American market this
winter. The large supply available has
already reduced the price several dol
lars per ton.
Cottonseed meal IL one of the rich
est protein feeds offered to the dairy
man, containing as it does, As per
cent Of protein and "a therms of en-
ergy. Ordinarily it is not advisable
to feed more than to rs pounds per
day.
AS 1t Is constipating, some laxative
feed should be used in the ration with
cotton seed meal, such as bran, lin.
seed meal, or the legume hays. Since
cottonseed is rich in protein, it will
be economy to supply a large part OF
the protein needed in the ration from
this feed. e
The following grain mixtures are
suggested for grain productions
800 lbs. corn or hominy chop
100 lbs. wheat bran
100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
The above ration is calculated to be
fed when the roughage is made up
Of silage and alfalfa or some other
legume hay such as clover, cow peas.
or soy beans. A part of the silage
may be replaced by cut fodder. In
case no legume hay can be had the fol.
lowing mixture will more nearly fin
the requirements:
200 lbs. corn or hominy chop
100 lbs. bran
100 lbs. cottonseed meal
The grain mixtures should be fed at
the rate OF one pound Of grain to three
pounds Of milk produced The COW
should be given all the roughage she
will consume without waste.

The Christmas Stocking.

st. Nicholas seems to have been the
original of our Santa Claus. He was
the bishop Of Myra about the year
300 and was very popular because Of
his good deeds and kindness, especial
ly to children, whose patron saint he
is supposed to be. An old legend says
that he wished to secretly bestow
gift upon an old nobleman who,
though poor, did not want anyone to
know Of his poverty. When the good
bishop reached the house he saw the
old gentleman asleep by the fire. so
he climbed to the top Of the chimney
and dropped his gift into 1t, thinking
it would fall on the hearth. But 1t
happened that the money fell into one
of the old gentleman's stockings,
which his daughter had hung up to
dry where 1t was found and used as
a dowry for his eldest daughter. And
the story goes on to say that st.
Nicholas never failed to put gift
in the stockings which were hung up
for him thereafter when a daughter
of the house was to marry.
