ALFALFA AS HOG FOOD.
Comparative Returns When Sold a.

The Arizona experiment station fig-
ures the comparative return when al
falfa Is sold as hay and when grazed
by hogs. These figures represent To-
cal prices In Arizona:
The net annual returns per acre Of
alfalfa. yielding six tons, when sold
as hay were not over $40. The net re-
turns for similar acre Of alfalfa when
grazed or by twelve hogs were $47.23.
These hogs were fed supplemental

calculated according to price Of CON-
mercial fertilizers. On this basis the
value of the hog manure as dropped
over the field must be ut least SO per
ton. Figuring that IS per cent Of the
six tons OF alfalfa was returned as ma
nure to the soil. there were then Eve
tons of manure. worth So per ton. or
s15. This added to $4T.23 would be
se2.23. representing the net gain per
acre OF alfalfa when grazed Off by
twelve hogs. as against $40. which Is
the net gain per acre when the alfalfa
Is cured und sold rs baled hay.
In this case the net price for alfalfa
hay was only So per ton. and. Of
course. the hogs paid more than that
for It. There might easily be another
situation where the reverse of this
would be true There are situations
In the eastern states where alfalfa hay
will bring SiS or more per ton. while
small droves OF hogs would not pay.
In such cases II might pay better to
sell the hay and use chemicals to keep
up the fertility.

Keeping Husbands on the Job.

Inc Chicago bureau of public well
rare, after an investigation into the
causes FOR husbands deserting their
wives, announces that. "Next to
steady employment. plenty of chill
dNen seem undoubtedly to be the best
possible guarantee of marital perma-
nence and solidarity" Or. in plain
English, when women have plenty of
children, their husbands don't run
away. This truth may be taken into
account by the steadily growing mum
Der of women who don't want to he
bothered with babies"
among the other best bets for
Keeping husbands at their jobs are
these:
The wife should be big and strong
(there the tradition of chivalric de-
Votion to the little wife" and the
weaker sex" goes glimmering).
The wife should be good cook.
She should be good-natured.
Thus we have formula that
makes it fairly easy for a man TO
piSh ouI W11e TO whom he'll
want to stay married. The girl in
the case should be healthy, domes-
tic. amiable, and above all, eager for
children. Any woman who lacks
these qualifications should do her
best to develop them.
The bureau fails to provide wom-
en- with any such handy rules for
picking out husbands. The best it
can do in that respect, apparently.
is to assure them that laboring
man-if he has steady works far
more likely to stay married and sup
port his family than a man earning a
g salary< b7's;;
AS for husbands figuring out how
to keep wives on the job, nothing is
said about that. Wives are not so
much given to running away from
their homes. Desertion is a peculiar
ly masculine practice.-The Augusta
Chronicle.

TELLS SHERIFF TO
ENFORCE CITY LAW
Governor Manning Will No Lon
ger Look to Mayor Griffith
of Columbia.

Columbia, April 2.-Enforcement
of laws against illicit liquor selling
in the city of Columbia has been
placed up to Sheriff John c. Mccain
of Richland county, by Governor
Manning, following continued com
plants to his Office that the laws in
the city were being violated. The
policy of the governor is to leave law
enforcement to the city authorities
and soon after he came into Office he
held a conference with Mayor Lewic
A. Griffith and Sheriff Mccain, and
put the responsibility for the en-
forcement of the laws in Columbia
on the mayor, and outside of the
city on the sheriff. However, the
sheriff has now been made respon-
sible for the enforcement of the law
in the city because of the continued
complaints OF violations.
The mayor has stated on several
occasions that the laws were being
enforced in the city. 1t is a matter
of general report that many viola
tions occur, and the governor has in
structed the sheriff to enforce the
laws, especially those dealing with
the Illicit sale of whiskey. This oc-
Cured several days ago and the gov
ernor is no longer looking to the
mayor, but is holding the sheriff re-
sponsible for the situation in Colum-
bia.
The action of the governor in 60
ing over the head Of the mayor of
Columbia and calling on the sheriff
to enforce the laws is of particular
interest at this time, and marv are
wondering whether this will have
any bearing on the situation in
Charleston, where the governor has
given Mayor Grace until next Mon
day to produce results. The govern
or has not been officially advised of
the raids b. the Charleston police on
the blind tigers, and he had nothing
to say for publication on that sub
ject, but it is known that he is
watching the situation closely.

Therefore, the farming community

Of every person.
Every dollar a farmer keeps in
circulation at home simply adds that
much to the riches of his own COM
munity, to the value of his own hold
ings.
The town and the town merchant
owe an equal duty to the farmer, for
without his cooperation both town
and merchant would perish.
The town should make the farmer
welcome, let him feel that he is
among friends. that it is his town,
I that he has a personal interest in its
welfare.
The merchant should make It DOS
sible for the farmer to buy his goods
as cheaply at home as he can from
some foreign house, and he should
leep this fact constantly before the
farmer.
He should encourage the farmer
W keeping reliable goods and selling
them at reasonable price. Most
merchants do this, although the alb
sence OF the merchants advertise
ment from the local paper keeps the
farmer in ignorance of the fact.
He should encourage the farmer
in all ways, exhibit brotherly feel

to understand that he is interested
In his welfare as well as the contents

mers can buy as cheaply from the
local dealer as they can from n for
