How Many Hogs VIII An
Acre Garry?

One OF the most frequent ques-
ton saskcd in regard to grazing IS.
How many hogs will an acre
carry?" 1t is impossible to answer
such a general question in very
definite way. 1t can be answered
Approximately i'll the following
way:
Hogs from eight to twelve
months old ought to average a
pound ard half to two pounds
of gain per day during the fatten-
ing period. We l;nom approXi-
matelv the amount Of food reQuir-
ed to make this amount of gain
ard if we make a guess of the
weld. we can make al approx
mate guess Of The number of hogs
required 20 consume the CROP in q
4
given time. \ crop of twenty
/ Eve bushels Of corn with the &c
campaving cow peas ought to make
( four hundred pounds of pork, or
be the equivalent of feed for one
hog for two hundred days. If we
want 10 consume that amount III
thirty DAYS, il would require seven
hogs. Il the hogs are mixed ages,
including pigs, it will carry an
average of ten to twelve hogs per
acre. Peanuts would make 4 little
more pork per acre than corn, but
when Tie carbohydrates are added
TO more nearly balance the ration
the pigs will be maintained for as
long a time on peanuts as the corn
will carry them. The same ac.e'
age in sweet potatoes will carry
the hogs from one and one-hal
TO two times as an acre OF corn, i
the potatoes are supplemented
with proper proteinbearing food
Therefore, on good average land
one can carry from ten TO twelve
head Of mixed hogs per acre
through the fattening stage. Oh
poor land the number would be re
duced, and on rich land the mum
Der would be increased.
The amount of winter grain:
that can be secured is very varla
bic, being influenced very largely
by the amount of growing weathe
, that prevails during the winter
In general, two sows with accomp
anying pigs can be carried per acre
If there is all abundance of favor
able growing weather, cattle ma,
be required to help keep the pas
ture grazing down. 1t will, there
fore, be seen that with this sys

INCREASE IN REVENUES

For the first month since February,

just issued shows an increase in
monthly gross earnings OF particular
interest In the report is the increase in
the revenue from the Petersburg line.
which shows = gain Of - per cent over
the total for July 1914
While the Wall Street Journal, in
commenting OH the showing OF the
railway and power company, ascribes
much OF the increase in gross earnings,
so far as Richmond is concerned to the
practical elimination of the "jitney
competition" the jitneys had little to
do with the July showing. The indie
pendent j!tncys were running in full
force until July %, when the new jitney
ordinance went Into effect. Therefore,
the increase in revenue, so far $ Rich
monG's share - = factor, is due largely
TO an Improvement in general business
conditions III the city.

during August has not affected the Nir-
GINA Railway and Power Company's
receipts nearly 30 seriously as in pre-
NiouS months. because a large number

cars. pending the result of court pro-
ceedings TO test the validity OF the new
reg u!tlloiS.
WALL STREET JOURNAL
DISCUSSES JIrNEY COMPETITION
The Wall street Journal, commenting
further on the report. says:
While there is still some jitney COM
petition, and earnings of the street
railway lines are also being affected
by business conditions, the company
for July reported n gain OF s5,0il, or
la per cent. in gross. with an in
crease OF si.i41 in net over July. 1914
While earnings Of the street railway
are recovering from the depression OF
the earlier months OF the year, it is in
the electric light and power depart
ment that the large gains are being
made. which for July were large
enough to absorb the decrease in rail
way earnings and provide a fair gain
in combined gross.
The new town of Hopewell. where
the Du Pont Powder Company is erect
ing it's large new plant. is. but five
miles from the terminus of the Peters
burg line OF the street railway, and
line OF auto-busses has been estab-
lished from the end OF the line to the
new plant. AS result of this traffic
on the Petersburg line was 10 per cent
larger IN July than in July, 1914, and
il is probable that the electric line
will be extended to the new town.
The establishment OF auto-bus
lines in both Richmond and Norfolk by
the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany. and the enforcement of traffic
regulations have practically driven
the jitneys out OF both cities, and they
are no longer n menace to earnings.
For July, 1915, after providing for all
operating expenses, taxes. licenses,
sinking funds. interest and depsecia-
ton, the surplus of the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company was sS9,97?,
