\ Problem In Accent.
Sir: When Webster and the Cen
tury fail US, where can we go but to
you. How on earth do you accent
'pacifist?" A part o the time 1 am
influenced by the accent of pacific, -
and then I switch TO that of "pacify."
Being myself a pacifist, l want 10
know, you know. NJ
AS we recently remarked, the die
tionaries have a hard time keeping up
with the growth Of the language. We
have searched the several NANCY
backed, dog cared authorities in this
office in vain for an answer to NJ S
question. Pacifist seems to have
come since the last edition. There is,
however, reason in all things and
we don't know why the rule OF rea-
son should not be applied TO the pro-
nunciation of pacifist. For example,
let us begin at the end OF the word
and unravel it. Certainly we should
not place the accent on fist" That
would be emphasizing an homogeneous
element. In fact, we quest the pro-
priety Of putting fist" in the word.
Now. will you put three or two let
tiers in your next syllable? 1t seems
to us that on the answer to this in
quiry depends the solution of the prob
lem. If you use three you must accent
elf" If you use two the accent is
inevitably shifted to the first sylla-
BILE. Simple enough if you can decide
on the number of letters in the second.

FEED COTTONsEED TO HOGS
Hoard's Dairyman Says No Uniformly
Successful Method of Feeding
Has Yet Been Found.

In response to the query What ex.
perience have you had in feeding
cooked cottonseed to hogs and young
pigs?" Hoard Dairyman makes the
following reply:
We have had no experience in feed
ing cooked cottonseed, nor do we re
call any experimentation along this
line. No uniformly successful method
Of feeding cottonEeed or c%ottonseed
meal to swine has yet been found. The
poisonous effect Of cottonseed meal is
said to be due to its content of pyro-
phosphoric acid, which is developed
when the seed is subjected to great
heat. Reasoning along this line we
would be inclined TO believe that
cooked cottonseed would not prove q
safe feed for pigs. However, the
Louisiana station states that its ex
periments do not uphold this theory.
and that the poisonous effect Of the
~cottonseed is due to some other factor
whose virulence is decreased by heat
ing. The seed is held to be more pois-
onous than the meal. 1t is probably
safe to feed c%ottonseed meal when it
does not constitute more than one
fifth to a quarter of the grain ration
and is fed at this rate for not more
than thirty days.

sUBs0ILING MAY BE N
Increase in Yield Does Not Pay for
Work Done-Bad Practice to
Advocate. Says Expert.

(By O. o. CHURCHILL. Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The practice of subsoiling is rece1v-
ing a good many notices in the press
at this time. It is advocated par
ticularly on tight soils and under
drought conditions.
A good many of the stations in diff.
ferent parts Of the United States have
conducted many experiments to deter
mine the benefit derived from this
practice. Very seldom, If ever, does
the increase in yield pay for the
work done, and we, therefore, advise
against subsoiling under most condi-
tons. In some subsoiling may
even be harmful.
We have been unable to find any rec
ords indicating that subsoiling will
pay. It seems to US. therefore,. to be
a bad practice to advocate, even If
in theory it does sound well.
Subsoiling is usually performed by
an implement made of a straight blade
with a shoe on the bottom This i'm
plement is run in the bottom Of the
furrow and follows Immediately after
an ordinary pillow. It does not turn
the soil, but merely loosens it. 1t
takes as much power to pull the
subsoil pillow as it does IN ordinary
pillow.
